EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

It can be seen in the present scenario of banking sector i.e. post


recession period that strong market players are striving to uncover
market potentials and provide all services, combining innovation,
quality, personal touch and flexibility in delivery so as to attract
customers . The growing competition with in the nationalised banks,
private banks and the foreign players are increasing the expectations
of the customers like the catalyst. In such a scenario the customer
would continue to be the centre-point of the business strategy. In
short, you lose touch with the customer, and you lose everything. In
middle of this post recession period certain events had such happened
that equilibrium had once again shifted to nationalized banks, so
private bankers are trying to build up on their competencies & coming
up with new innovative products to regain their previous customers as
well come up with new opportunities & rectification of old mistakes.
Keeping in view such stiff competition, it’s a miniscule
effort from my side under which I have tried to fulfill the following
objectives:

 A complete comparative analysis of the ASPIRA account (salary


account) of ING VYSYA bank.
 To compare the features offered by the savings account of ING
VYSYA bank with those offered by the others.
 To compare the features offered by the current account of ING
VYSYA bank with those offered by the others.

5
 To study the service quality of ING VYSYA bank’s corporate
salary account.
 To do a SWOT analysis of ING VYSYA bank.

For the comparison I have visited some of the banks and used the
internet for the data; while to measure the service quality I have
conducted a survey for the customers of ING Vysya and collected data
from them. And based on this I have done the SWOT analysis.

The findings of the research lead to following conclusion:

1. ING Vysya has a strong brand association with an international


fame group i.e. International Netherland Group. But so far the
bank has not been able to establish it self so well here, in the
minds of people here in India, unlike its competitors.

2. Due to RBI guide lines which have been some what restrictive for
foreign players, ING Vysya cannot be blamed solely for being
unpopular. It is expected that in the time to come when these
guide lines would be eased ING Vysya would be able to utilize
more resources and would be able to establish itself more
efficiently.

3. The bank is facing the problem of being unpopular due to lack of


its branches and ATMS in sufficient numbers all over INDIA.

4. Even in the comparative analysis it was found that most of the


product features are almost the same, rather in some instances
ING Vysya is superior for eg:-

6
i) It offers PAP cheque books to its customers where as
other banks don’t.
ii) It offers 2 free DD/PO to its customers where as banks
like standard chartered don’t
iii) It opens the salary accounts even at lower averages
where as other banks are stringent in this respect.
iv) In this period of post recession ING VYSYA Bank had
come up with an initiative of innovative banking product
called ING FORMULA Savings Account for the Formula 1
Fans residing in metro cities of India with an additional
offering of Party vouchers of night clubs worth Rs.3000 ,
w.e.f. 1st August 2008.

5. Similarly in some cases some features of other banks are


superior, for eg:-
i) YES bank gives unlimited ATM transactions with its
partner banks to all of its customers where as it offers
only to orange customers
ii) ICICI facilitates immediate transfer of funds which is not
the case with ING
iii) Customers also complain about its late salary transfer.

1. INTRODUCTION

ING Vysya Bank Ltd., is an entity formed with the coming together of
erstwhile, Vysya Bank Ltd, a premier bank in the Indian Private Sector
and a global financial powerhouse, ING of Dutch origin, during Oct
2002.
The origin of the erstwhile Vysya Bank was pretty humble. It was in the
year 1930 that a team of visionaries came together to found a bank
that would extend a helping hand to those who weren't privileged
enough to enjoy banking services. It is one of the oldest private sector
banks offering banking products and services to retail and corporate
customers. Its business has been organized into Retail Banking and
Wholesale Banking.

Being new on the ground ING Vysya is making all its efforts to compete
with its competitors in the best possible way. In its retail banking I got
this opportunity to work and do the comparative analysis of Aspira
account which is the salary account of the bank and measure its
service quality, the reason I was given this project was the newness of
the bank and hence its necessity to be aware of where it stands as
compared to its competitors, how its products differ from its
competitors, and how is it perceived by its competitors. To measure
this perception I used the SERVE QUAL tool and surveyed its
competitors.

8
As suggested by the faculty guide I also covered the rest of the liability
products i.e. the savings account and the current account of the bank
and compared its features with other banks namely; ICICI, HDFC, Yes
bank, ABN Amro bank and Standard Chartered bank, to increase the
knowledge about all the products and enhance my learning.

Finally I also did an over all SWOT analysis on the basis of data that I
collected and knowledge of the present scenario that I gathered during
my summer internship about the banking sector.

1.2 A word about the competitors

ICICI BANK

ICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indian


financial institution, and was its wholly-owned subsidiary. ICICI's
shareholding in ICICI Bank was reduced to 46% through a public
offering of shares in India in fiscal 1998, an equity offering in the form
of ADRs listed on the NYSE in fiscal 2000, ICICI Bank's acquisition of
Bank of Madura Limited in an all-stock amalgamation in fiscal 2001,
and secondary market sales by ICICI to institutional investors in fiscal
2001 and fiscal 2002. ICICI was formed in 1955 at the initiative of the
World Bank, the Government of India and representatives of Indian

12
industry. The principal objective was to create a development financial
institution for providing medium-term and long-term project financing
to Indian businesses. In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from
a development financial institution offering only project finance to a
diversified financial services group offering a wide variety of products
and services, both directly and through a number of subsidiaries and
affiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the first Indian
company and the first bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia
to be listed on the NYSE.

After consideration of various corporate structuring alternatives in the


context of the emerging competitive scenario in the Indian banking
industry, and the move towards universal banking, the managements
of ICICI and ICICI Bank formed the view that the merger of ICICI with
ICICI Bank would be the optimal strategic alternative for both entities,
and would create the optimal legal structure for the ICICI group's
universal banking strategy. The merger would enhance value for ICICI
shareholders through the merged entity's access to low-cost deposits,
greater opportunities for earning fee-based income and the ability to
participate in the payments system and provide transaction-banking
services. The merger would enhance value for ICICI Bank shareholders
through a large capital base and scale of operations, seamless access
to ICICI's strong corporate relationships built up over five decades,
entry into new business segments, higher market share in various
business segments, particularly fee-based services, and access to the
vast talent pool of ICICI and its subsidiaries. In October 2001, the
Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank approved the merger of
ICICI and two of its wholly-owned retail finance subsidiaries, ICICI
Personal Financial Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited,
with ICICI Bank. The merger was approved by shareholders of ICICI and
ICICI Bank in January 2002, by the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmadabad

13
in March 2002, and by the High Court of Judicature at Mumbai and the
Reserve Bank of India in April 2002. Consequent to the merger, the
ICICI group's financing and banking operations, both wholesale and
retail, have been integrated in a single entity.

Today, ICICI Bank is India's second-largest bank with total assets of Rs.
3,793.01 billion at March 31, 2009 and profit after tax of Rs. 37.58
billion for fiscal 2009. ICICI Bank is the most valuable bank in India in
terms of market capitalization and is ranked third amongst all the
companies listed on the Indian stock exchanges in terms of free float
market capitalisation*. The Bank has a network of about 1438
branches and 4,600 ATMs in India and presence in 19 countries.

ABN AMRO

On 29 March 1824 King Willem-I issued a royal decree creating the


Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij with the aim of reviving trade
between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies. In 1964, NHM
merged with De Twentsche Bank to form Algemene Bank Nederland
(ABN), while Amsterdamsche Bank and Rotterdamsche Bank joined to
become Amsterdam-Rotterdam (Amro) Bank. In 1991, these two banks
merged as ABN AMRO Bank. Today, ABN AMRO Bank has a powerful
presence in world markets, building on a tradition of stimulating
international trade.
Today, with assets over US $504 billion and an AA credit rating, ABN
AMRO Bank ranks among the top 10 banks in the world in size and
strength. Our international network comprises 4500 branches and
offices in over 320 cities and 76 countries and territories, with over
100,000 highly qualified staff. As a global bank, we can handle the

14
most complicated cross-border transactions, yet we also understand
the subtleties of local markets.
HDFC BANK

The Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) was


amongst the first to receive an 'in principle' approval from the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) to set up a bank in the private sector, as part of the
RBI's liberalisation of the Indian Banking Industry in 1994. The bank
was incorporated in August 1994 in the name of 'HDFC Bank Limited',
with its registered office in Mumbai, India. HDFC Bank commenced
operations as a Scheduled Commercial Bank in January 1995.

HDFC was incorporated in 1977 with the primary objective of meeting


a social need – that of promoting home ownership by providing long-
term finance to households for their housing needs. It was promoted
with an initial share capital of Rs.100 million. HDFC is a professionally
managed organization with a board of directors consisting of eminent
persons who represent various fields including finance, taxation,
construction and urban policy & development. The primary objective of
HDFC is to enhance residential housing stock in the country through
the provision of housing finance in a systematic and professional
manner, and to promote home ownership. HDFC is ranked 3rd amongst
the Asian banking and finance sector for highest return on equity by
Asian money. Its main goal is to develop close relationships with
individual households, maintain its position as the premier housing
finance institution in the country, transform ideas into viable and
creative solutions, and provides consistently high returns to
shareholders & to grow through diversification. Its most valuable
assets are its Human Resources and it is its constant endeavor to
continuously develop them by laying strong emphasis on their Training

15
& Development. HDFC main focus is on their employees' career
development so that their aspirations can meet company’s goals.

Standard Chartered Bank

The Standard Chartered Group was formed in 1969 through a merger


of two banks: The Standard Bank of British South Africa founded in
1863, and the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, founded in
1853.

Both companies were keen to capitalize on the huge expansion of


trade and to earn the handsome profits to be made from financing the
movement of goods from Europe to the East and to Africa.

In 1969, the decision was made by Chartered and by Standard to


undergo a friendly merger. All was going well until 1986, when a
hostile takeover bid was made for the Group by Lloyds Bank of the
United Kingdom. When the bid was defeated, Standard Chartered
entered a period of change. Provisions had to be made against third
world debt exposure and loans to corporations and entrepreneurs who
could not meet their commitments. Standard Chartered began a series
of divestments notably in the United States and South Africa, and also
entered into a number of asset sales.

From the early 90s, Standard Chartered has focused on developing its
strong franchises in Asia, the Middle East and Africa using its
operations in the United Kingdom and North America to provide
customers with a bridge between these markets. Secondly, it would
focus on consumer, corporate and institutional banking, and on the

16
provision of treasury services – areas in which the Group had particular
strength and expertise.

In the new millennium we acquired Grindlays Bank from the ANZ Group
and the Chase Consumer Banking operations in Hong Kong in 2000.

The Chartered Bank opened its first overseas branch in India, at


Kolkata, on 12 April 1858. Eight years later the Kolkata agent
described the Bank's credit locally as splendid and its business as
flourishing, particularly the substantial turnover in rice bills with the
leading Arab firms. When The Chartered Bank first established itself in
India, Kolkata was the most important commercial city, and was the
centre of the jute and indigo trades. With the growth of the cotton
trade and the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, Bombay took over
from Kolkata as India's main trade centre. Today the Bank's branches
and sub-branches in India are directed and administered from Mumbai
(Bombay) with Kolkata remaining an important trading and banking
centre.

2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Measuring Service Quality in Banks: An


Assessment of Service Quality Dimensions

Service quality has been viewed as a multi-dimensional construct in


marketing literature. Parasuraman, Zenithal, and Berry (1988) have
conceptualized a five dimensional model. The five dimensions are
reliability, responsiveness, empathy, assurance and tangibility. Their
measurement instrument SERVQUAL is based on the five dimensional
model. Gronroos (1982) had identified two service quality dimensions
functional quality and technical quality. Functional quality represents
the perception of the manner in which the service is delivered.
Technical quality on the other hand represents the outcome of the
service act or what the customer receives in the end. Brady and Cronin
(2001) term it as outcome quality. The five dimensional model of
Parasuraman et al. which has become almost the standard way of
measuring service quality, essentially captures the functional quality.
There is more attention on the functional service quality, particularly in

18
the more developed economies. But many products and services in the
emerging markets compete at their expected product levels (Kotler,
2003). In some industries, the competition is at the basic product
levels or core benefits. Market differentiation can be achieved through
the way products and services are delivered; creating satisfying
customer experiences about the company, employees and the delivery
process; but this may not create the necessary competitive advantage
for growth. Even in the business environments where the competition
is at the augmented product level, it would be pertinent to know the
relative strengths of industry specific aspects of “what is offered”
versus “how it is offered”. Whether a below expectations service
outcome is considered more important by customers or if an improper
service delivery process and employee interaction is viewed more
serious. Focus only on functional quality dimensions of service quality,
therefore appears to be misplaced. Only a few studies have recently
tried to empirically explore the outcome dimension of service quality
(Kang and James 2004; Jain 2005). The present study fills the gap and
looks at the relative importance of service quality dimensions in the
Indian banking sector.
The study that was conducted had final sample
consisting of 131 usable questionnaires. The primary data was
collected by personally administering the questionnaire. Mean age,
household income and education level of the sample is 29 years, Rs
21,000.00 and some college education respectively. Government
service, private service and own business is represented by 25, 25 and
26.5 percent of the participants. The sample had 91% male
respondents. Nationalized banks represent 97% of the banks
patronized by the participants. Data was collected in the month of
February 2005.
Evidence of convergent validity was examined through simple
correlation with the independently measured overall quality score.

19
Corresponding correlations with independently measured overall value
score were used for observing discriminant validity. It was found that
the service quality dimensions had internal consistency; however
outcome quality could not establish convergent validity and
discriminant validity conclusively. The results buttress the
multidimensional structure of service quality. Though some service
quality dimensions are found to be similar to the ones posited in five
dimensional model, the model as such is not supported in banking
services. As expected, in the study, the functional quality dimensions
of responsiveness, assurance, empathy and tangibles do not have
much significance for customers. Results however do not support the
proposition that outcome quality dimension would emerge to be the
important dimension. Reliability is found to be the vital dimension in
customers’ perception of service quality.
The findings of this study have important managerial
implications. Customers regard reliability to be the most important
dimension of services in banks. Reliability dimension is the descriptor
of the functional quality and outcome quality (Brady and Cronin, 2001).
This implies that the banks should be able to perform what they
purport to perform – whether it is the functional quality aspect or the
outcome quality aspect. Ignored in widely used measurement
instruments, outcome quality features such as there should not be
queues for withdrawals, making demand drafts etc have been found to
be lagging behind the customers’ expectations and therefore warrant
improvement. A moderate sample and a non parsimonious scale are
some of the limitations of the study. The operationalisation of outcome
quality needs improvement through further exploratory work.

3. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY:

. The objectives of the project are:


 To conduct comparative analysis of the ASPIRA account (salary
account) of ING VYSYA bank.
 To compare the features offered by the savings account of ING
VYSYA bank with those offered by the others.
 To compare the features offered by the current account of ING
VYSYA bank with those offered by the others.
 To study the service quality of ING VYSYA bank’s corporate
salary account.
 To conduct a SWOT analysis of ING VYSYA bank

4. SCOPE

21
The project is mainly concentrated on the corporate sales of the bank
i.e. on the ASPIRA account, which is the salary account of the bank, its
comparative analysis and SWOT analysis. It also include the service
quality delivered to and perceived by its customers using the serve-
qual tool and comparison of rest of the liability products with similar
products of other banks namely ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, ABN AMRO
Bank, and YES Bank.
This would help the bank to measure its standing as compared to
its competitors and find out where it lacks and needs improvement.
The survey conducted on its customers of salary accounts provided
valuable information as, what features are liked by them and which are
not, and what are the areas where they feel ING Vysya needs
improvement. This exercise also made its customers feel that ING
Vysya wants to improve and is looking forward to their feedback so in a
way it helped in improving its relationship with its customers.

5. METHODOLOGY

1. For the comparative analysis of


a. Salary account
b. Savings account
c. Current account

22
I visited the banks to meet bank personnel who could guide
me about the various features offered by them as part of their liability
products.

2. A well documented ‘service quality model of Parasuram


et.al.’(1985) was used as a conceptual framework for measuring
service quality in ING Vysya Bank. Here the model has helped us to
analyze the gap between the service quality expected by the
management and its actual perception by the customer.

3. With the help of data so collected a SWOT analysis was done after
visiting various banks, talking to various people through personal
interviews.

5.1 SAMPLE

The sampling frame was provided by the bank from its data base out of
which 30 companies were surveyed consisting of approximately 10
employees each. The study was conducted with the cooperation of the
management and ING Vysya’s customers who took the valuable time
out of their schedules to fill my questionnaire and give their feedback
about ING Vysya’s services.

5.2 THE RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

The questionnaire used in this study followed the five basic dimensions
of SERVEQUAL instrument developed by Parasuram. The instrument
includes 7 items on special instruction from my industry guide because
he wanted the questionnaire to be as short as possible so that the

23
customers are not bothered much and they don’t feel irritated while
answering them. The customers and management were asked to mark
their levels of perception and expectation respectively on a five-pointer
scale. The gap hence found between the perception and expectation
was administered consistently to find out the meaningful results.
The questionnaire is given in the annexure.

6. DATA COLLECTION AND INTERPRETATION

For the first part which is the comparative analysis of liability products,
data was collected by visiting the banks and finding on their respective
websites.
For the second part i.e. SERVE QUAL, primary data from 300
respondents was collected in 30 companies to measure the service
quality gap. The number of respondents from the management side
was 12, which were the part of corporate salary team. Personal
interviews with some employees were also conducted to know the
problems they encountered in detail. The response rate both at the
companies I visited and at the bank was 100%.Reliability was tested
using one way ANOVA to test whether any significant difference exist
in the perceptions and expectations of customers and management
respectively for all the parameters of SERVE QUAL model and are
shown separately.
And finally on the basis of the findings of the study a SWOT analysis
was conducted.

The names of the companies from which the data was collected are
given in appendix.

*Reimbursement account:

37
If you opt to disburse/reimburse the travel, food etc. expenses via
reimbursement accounts, a reimbursement account can be opened
simultaneously along with the Salary Account savings bank account,
which would be linked together with the debit card already held by
your employee.

Though features of both the banks are almost similar but the repute
enjoyed by ICICI is commendable. The reason for this could be the time
span by which ICICI came earlier and cashed on the opportunity of
establishing it self in all the spheres. Other reasons could be:

1. Wide network of its branches and ATMs all over India, which
makes it reliable.
2. Strong brand recognition in the minds of people.
3. Its facility of letting the customer transfer its fund online
instantaneously where as in case of ING Vysya it takes one whole
day to make it effective, though both the banks provide this
facility of net banking.
4. A positive point with ING Vysya is that it offers free PAP cheque
books to all of its orange salary account holders where as it is
chargeable in case of other banks.
5. While talking to some customers of ICICI they complained about
some hidden charges, which they said they never mentioned in
the beginning (though they refused to disclose what these
charges were.)
II) ING VYSYA V/S HDFC

HDFC, one of the very popular brands in terms of corporate sales as


well as other products, has features more or less same as ING Vysya
but enjoys a very reputable stature. Like ING Vysya it also has two

38
products in case of salary accounts, classic and regular. Under classic,
employees having monthly income Rs.7500 to Rs.14999 open their
accounts while in regular; employees having their monthly income
above Rs.15000 have their accounts. Its comparison can be done on
following grounds:

FEATURES ING VYSYA HDFC

of days overdrawn

HDFC again is one of the most renowned and respected banks in our
country and has the advantage of coming in to existence earlier, over
ING Vysya. The brand value that it enjoys is commendable and it
seems that it is one of the reasons why people prefer HDFC over ING
Vysya. Apart from this other reasons contributing to it could be:
1. Wide network of its branches and ATMs all over India, which
makes it reliable.
2. Strong brand recognition through advertisements and other
sources.
3. RBI guide lines doesn’t allow ING VYSYA which is an MNC bank to
open their ATMs in company premises which is not the case with
banks like HDFC and ICICI hence companies which are already
with these banks and enjoy this facility cant switch over even if
they want to.

YES bank like ING Vysya is new on the ground and is similarly striving
for existence. Though within a short span, it has gained a strong
foothold but still it has a long way to go.

• One of the main differences between their features is the


eligibility criterion. YES bank doesn’t open the corporate salary
account of a company if its average salary (total salary being
uploaded divided by no. of employees) is less than Rs.15000.
which is not the case with ING Vysya. Due to the availability of

41
separate product, which is advantage salary account, ING Vysya
entertains even those.
• On the other hand YES Bank gives unlimited ATM transactions
with its associated banks to its customers as it knows that it
doesn’t have sufficient number of ATM outlets, where as ING
allows only 6 ATM transactions to be free of cost.

IV) ING VYSYA V/S STANDARD CHARTERED BANK

Standard chartered again enjoys a status of a very reputable bank and


has a strong brand value compared to ING Vysya bank. The reliability
factor is quite high in its case; where as people still think quite a lot
before they go for choosing ING Vysya bank. As far as comparison is
concerned it can be seen that

i. Standard Chartered Bank offers 4 transactions free of cost from VISA


electronic card where as ING Vysya offers minimum 6 transactions free
of cost.

ii. ING Vysya bank gives the OD facility where as Standard Chartered
doesn’t.

iii. ING Vysya offers 2 D.D’s/P.O.’s free of cost where as Standard


Chartered doesn’t.

amount not exceeding

As we can see that features of ING Vysya and ABN Amro bank are
almost same but both the banks are new and have a long way to go.

i. One major difference between them is their ATM facility, ING


Vysya gives minimum 6 free cash withdrawal from cirrus network
whereas ABN Amro gives free cash withdrawal only from UTI
besides itself. Since the bank is new and doesn’t have a good
ATM network it should work on establishing its own network.
ii. ING Vysya bank gives the OD facility where as ABN Amro
doesn’t.

iii. ING Vysya offers 2 D.D’s/P.O.’s free of cost where as ABN Amro
doesn’t.

(Source: primary data)

To study the service quality of ING Vysya bank, all those companies
which were surveyed were categorized in to three categories/groups
on the basis of their average salary uploaded and type of current
account, they have in the bank.

• Group 1 had those companies whose average salary was up to


Rs.10, 000 and no current account.

64
• Group 2 had those companies whose average salary was either
above Rs.10, 000 or was below Rs.10, 000 but had normal
current account also.

• Group 3 had those companies whose average salary was either


above Rs.20, 000 or was below Rs.10, 000 but had orange
current account also.

So once the data was collected related to perception and expectation


scores and their gap, hypothesis were made on each parameter to find
if there exists any difference between these groups using one way
ANOVA, as far as these five parameters of service quality are
concerned.

7.2.2 FORMULATION OF HYPOTHESIS

1. Ho: There is no significant difference among the groups of


companies with regards to ‘tangibles factor’ offered by the bank.

Ha: The groups of companies do differ with regards to ‘tangibles


factor’ offered by the bank

ANOVA: Single
Factor (TANGIBLES)

SUMMARY
Groups Count Sum Average Variance
(P-E)GROUP1 10 -7.8 -0.78 0.494136

(P-E)GROUP2 10 6.68462 -0.66846 0.104142

Within Groups 7.8485 27 0.290685

Total 8.747234 29

Here we can see that ‘F’ value is less than the ‘F crit’ hence we accept
the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the groups as
far as tangibles are concerned.

The reasons for such indifference could be:

a) The bank is new, though it is trying to give best of its services but
still facilities can be provided in a better manner when there is a strong
network of branches. In NOIDA there is just one branch of ING Vysya
bank which is not sufficient to serve the customers in a better manner.
So in this case even the bank knows that it lacks and needs
improvement and has fewer expectations which match the perception
so there is no much difference between the groups.

b) Same is the case with no. of ATMs which even the bank knows so it
has rated itself lower in tangibles.

So in short the main reason for indifference is the familiarity of the


employees of the bank with the problems that bank is facing which has
lowered its expectations.

2. Ho: There is no significant difference among the groups of
companies with regards to ‘assurance factor’ offered by the bank.

67
Here it can be seen that ‘F’ value is greater than ‘F critical’ hence we
reject the null hypothesis and so there exist some difference between
the groups regarding assurance of the bank.
Under reliability it was asked to people if they are
informed about various products and schemes that are launched by
the bank through any means and to this we received different answers
and it proved to be a weak area for the bank in terms this difference.
According to me reasons for this could be:

a) Group 1 companies are generally the export houses, or small


companies whose average salary is not much and the level of
education among the employees there, is not equivalent hence
most of them don’t even know how to use internet, which is a
common source of informing people

b) It was noticed that most of the companies in group 1 and 2 are


from locations which are quite far from the NOIDA branch of ING
Vysya so they wanted some body to visit them often so that they
can get these information easily so they were not satisfied with
the bank in this regard on the other hand group three companies
are generally the call centers whose employees are tech- savvy
and hence get the relevant information on their e-mails.

The bank’s average expectations are coming to be around 6.25 and


the groups’ perception were generally lower in case of group 1 and
almost the similar and higher respectively for group 2 and 3 than the
same number.

3. Ho: There is no significant difference among the groups of
companies with regards to ‘responsiveness factor’ offered by the bank.

Here we can see that ‘F’ value is greater than the ‘F critical’ hence we
reject the null hypothesis and there exists difference between the
groups.
Under responsiveness the question was regarding the employees that
if they listen to their problems and give them prompt solutions.
According to me for the whole span of two months during which I

69
worked for the bank I saw that each employee be it of any hierarchy
use to listen to problems of those who came to bank, very sincerely so
there is no doubt that they don’t listen. But reasons for the difference
in service quality could be due to following:

a) The group 1 companies which are generally small companies are


scattered in NOIDA and Greater NOIDA, the customers don’t
want to come to branch and want every thing to be done right
from their office which is not possible every time and this
becomes their reason for grief that bank doesn’t listen to them
where as group 3 companies which are few in number and are
big ones are in NOIDA itself and coincidently nearer to the
branch too, so there is no problem for the employees of the bank
to go to visit them and vice-versa.

b) For all those who came to the branch with their problems there is
not a single case when the problem wasn’t solved. The main
problem here again lies with the network of branches and ING
Vysya seriously needs more number of branches in NCR.

4. Ho: There is no significant difference among the groups of


companies with regards to ‘reliability factor’ offered by the bank.

Here, ‘F’ value is less than the ‘F critical’ value hence the null
hypothesis is accepted and there is no difference between the groups
regarding reliability of the bank.
Under reliability we asked the customers if they feel
secure about their possessions and if they feel that bank’s services are
as per the norms of the RBI to which almost all of them rated between
8 and 10 which shows that the bank is credible in the eyes of its
customers and all the customers are treated in the same manner by
the bank.

companies with regards to ‘empathy factor’ offered by the bank.

For empathy also the value of ‘F’ is less than the ‘F critical’ hence the
null hypothesis is accepted that there is no difference between the
groups regarding empathy shown by the bank.
Under empathy it was asked to customers if they feel that bank
understands the customer needs and provide the solutions as per the
needs and if they feel that bank’s services are made as per their
requirements to which most of them replied in

6. Besides the research, part of my job was also the corporate sales i.e.
I was suppose to sell the salary account of the bank. So for that I use to
first make a cold call in the companies, find out which bank are they
with for salary account purpose and how would they like to switch to
ING Vysya. Some companies open such accounts in 2-3 banks also so I
used to convince them to make ING Vysya at least their second choice.

While making the sales call for pursuing companies to open the salary
accounts of their employees in ING Vysya bank, there emerged a
picture of how popular different banks are. Given below is a graph
based on that picture of approximate market share hold by the banks.

77
On an average out of 100 calls made 26 said they are with ICICI and
doesn’t want to change, 23 said they are with HDFC and are satisfied,
5 said they are with ABN Amro and want to continue, 10 said they are
with standard chartered bank and are satisfied with their services, 3
were with YES bank and have tied up recently so cant change.

6.3 SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS:

1. Strong brand association

The bank has got the biggest asset in the form of its association with
the ING Group of Netherlands, which is a well-known
financial house world over. The brand is considered to be a high quality
service provider.

2. Marketing strategy.

The bank has very well targeted the market and is focusing on high net
worth clientele. It gives a lot of stress in strategy making to take an
edge over other bank.

3. Sales promotion techniques

Though the bank is new on the ground but still it has endeavored to
make its mark in the minds of people through various sales promotion
techniques like calling celebrities like Amrita Arora for inaugurating an
ATM outlet and Ricky Ponting to give a speech on team work.

4. Wide network in southern India.

The bank is a well-known name in southern part of India which makes


its roots much stronger there than many of its competitors.

81
WEAKNESS:

1. Lack of network in small cities and towns

The bank still needs to work on expanding its area of operation by


opening more no. of branches. For example if we take NCR 1 branch in
NOIDA, 1 in Greater NOIDA, 1 In Gaziabad, 1 in Faridabad don’t do.
Since the Faridabad branch has a potential to discover more business.

2. Lack of brand awareness

Since the bank is new as compared to its competitors it needs to work


on promoting its brand name so that it remains there on the people’s
mind and they don’t confuse it with ICICI when they hear about it as it
happens now.

3. Lack of no. of ATM outlets all over.

Though the bank has a tie up with no. of banks which let its customers
withdraw money from there at least 6 times a month but still to make
its presence feel having a strong ATM network is very much necessary.

OPPORTUNITY

82
1. Indian multinational

Many Indian companies are now in the race of overtaking


multinationals; it’s a great opportunity for a Bank to provide their
service to these multinationals, it will help bank in building their strong
position in global market.

2. Globalization

Lots of multinationals are coming over, so having a global brand


association it can cash on it and provide its services to them.

THREATS:

1. Competitors (existing as well as new to enter)

This is one of the biggest threats that it has in front of itself. The
banking sector is witnessing and is expected to witness more players
in future. Many of the FIs are thinking of converting into banks
corporate houses are planning to launch their banks.

2. Bargaining power of buyers

Bargaining power of the buyers will be high, as they will be having lot
of service providers to choose from. This will force bank to improve
their service and emphasize upon the customer relationship
management for their survival.

83
7. CONCLUSION

1. ING Vysya has a strong brand association with an international


fame group i.e. International Netherland Group. But so far the
bank has not been able to establish it self so well here, in the
minds of people here in India, unlike its competitors.

2. Due to RBI guide lines which have been some what restrictive for
foreign players, ING Vysya cannot be blamed solely for being
unpopular. It is expected that in the time to come when these
guide lines would be relaxed ING Vysya would be able to utilize
more resources and would be able to establish itself more
efficiently.

3. The bank is facing the problem of being unpopular due to lack of


its branches and ATMS in sufficient numbers all over INDIA.

4. Even in the comparative analysis it was found that most of the


product features are almost the same, rather in some instances
ING Vysya is better for ex

a. It offers PAP cheque books to its customers where as banks


others don’t.
b. It offers 2 free DD/PO to its customers where as banks like
standard chartered don’t
c. It opens the salary accounts even at lower averages where
as other banks follow strict policies in this regard.

5. Similarly in some cases some features of other banks are better,


for ex

84
a. YES bank gives unlimited ATM transactions with its partner
banks to all of its customers where as it offers only to
orange customers
b. ICICI facilitates immediate transfer of funds which is not
the case with ING
c. Customers also complain about its late salary transfer.

8. RECOMMENDATIONS

1. The bank should first of all try to increase its network by opening
more and more branches and ATM outlets because in order to be
there in the minds of the people it should be seen every where
like ICICI and HDFC.

2. It should also use more and more media in order to be seen


more, very good attempts have been made in these lines like
calling Ricky Ponting, Amrita Arora for different purposes.

3. It should indulge more and more in to customer feed back, CRM


practices so that they can also act as unpaid ambassadors of the
bank and spread good word of mouth about its services.

4. During the survey was conducted there were some complaints of


its customers related to tangibles which need to be addressed
like:
a. ATM blockage/hanging, mainly with lower class employees
b. Delay in transfer of salaries

85
c. Delay in transfer of online funds.
d. Problems with the statement of accounts that many of
them haven’t received it.
e. These are some problems which are related to operations
and management needs to device some technique to
speed up the whole process.

5. To solve the problem of ATM blockage which apparently is due to


the fact that uneducated employees are not able to use it
properly, the bank if thinks is reasonable enough can go for
organizing some work shops for such people and teach them how
to use it, besides solving the problem it can also attract media
attention.

6. It is seen that the bank has no branch in Greater Noida so the


customers that are there are also served by the Noida branch, so
in order to ensure the satisfaction of those customers bank
needs to send some executive regularly over there who could go
and visit those places regularly which would further enrich a
good relationship between them.

7. It needs to rethink its strategy in India i.e. needs to follow


contingency approach. Since Formula 1 as a sports is not so
popular in India, so rather than going for Formula 1 Account it
could have created a product for the cricket fans, may be a
product somehow related with DLF IPL 20-20.

8. It needs to increase its frequency of advertisements on television


to get more business & create more brand awareness.

9. It needs to disclose some of the NGOs & other charitable


institutions so as to increase the business.

86
87
9. LIMITATIONS

1. There were some problems in communicating with some of the


people from the lower strata of the organization because they
were not able to make any sense out of this exercise, so it took
time to explain them the whole situation.

2. While collecting the information about the liability products from


the banks there were some problems because the employees
didn’t want to disclose their features to summer trainees but the
potential customers.

3. The management of the bank was reluctant initially to share the


data with me but after full assurance from my side of not
misusing the data and long discussion among themselves they
finally agreed to it.
