About "Customer Service In Banks - A Growing Concern!!" topic:

Customer Service in banking sector has now become a major concern. Both big & small banks are focusing on strengthening their relationships with customers & providing better services. The Institute of Customer Service publishes a customer satisfaction index twice a year. We survey over 26,000 consumers and we ask them about what really matters in terms of the delivery of customer service.

So it would’t be surprising, would it not, that given the economic challenges and the issues that the banking sectors actually had in the last 18 months, to see customer satisfaction levels fall.

What has been impacted, however, is reputation, and it’s increasingly important that the banking sector looks at this and how they can actually map both their reputation to the delivery in terms of the customer service experience.

So, lets discuss more on the concern concerning others....

he should not be ignored at any time.He is obliging us to open a account with us We are not obliging him for opening his account
Srinivasa Varrey  |  Supported idea  "Grievance Redressal Mechanism"  |  2 years ago
There should be an independent body that registers a compliant from consumer. It should be entered to the system only if the bank didn't resolve the issue. This tracking system should be used to measure customer satisfaction for each bank. The...

Srinivas suravajhala  |  Argues in support of  "Customer Services in PSU banks really on changing mode"  |  1 year ago
The services being offered by banks are on increase. We cant consider this as improvement in customer service, it is only an increased horizon of services.

Anita Sawant  |  Argues in support of  "PSU banks will never change"  |  2 years ago

                              NON-PERFORMANCE                                ============ Non-performing  loans are known as non-performing assets.The latter in its entirety has become a field of study requiring  assetwise specialization to achieve profitability . The Reserve Bank of India , though prescribed THE KYC{KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER} NORMS in general , there is every need for a different set of KYB { KNOW YOUR BORROWER }NORMS. Warren Buffet says ' You can't have good contracts with bad people.  ' If KYB stands for 'KNOW YOUR BAD PEOPLE' ? ' , KYC stands for ' KNOW YOUR GOOD PEOPLE'. An example : One Asst.Gen.Manager of Banking got killed in the process of recovery of a 'BAD LOAN' while o...

If we analyse the nature of students' demand, what they want as customers are: Expert Teaching Quality Learning Resources Well-structured Courses Either Marketable Skills or a Strong Brand or even both Flexibility Fair Assessment The concept that that all learning can be made fun and easy is flawed. Although it should be interesting, the task is to teach skills. It is difficult to get away with poor quality teaching any longer. However, in the area of assessment, there is insufficient objectivity and discipline at present. There is a strong case that all assessment should be anonymous and conducted at arm’s length. WINNERS AND LOSERS There are however a number of areas of new demand which fundamentally represent good news for those in the education sector who can ride the wave in a clever way: the knowledge worker; business advice; the law; health; "edutainment"; financial planning. Not everyone can win. Among the winners   in these changing conditions are likely to be: those who...

Day trading refers to the practice of buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day such that all positions will usually (not necessarily always) be closed before the market close of the trading day. This is different from After-hours trading. Traders that participate in day trading are called day traders. Some of the more commonly day-traded financial instruments are stocks, stock options, currencies, and a host of futures contracts such as equity index futures, interest rate futures, and commodity futures. Day trading used to be the preserve of financial firms and professional investors and speculators. Many day traders are bank or investment firm employees working as specialists in equity investment and fund management. However, day trading has become increasingly popular among casual traders due to advances in technology, changes in legislation, and the popularity of the internet. First of all let me give you few tips that you must follow if you are going...

Recovery of its due has been a hectic exercise for the Banks in the absence of a special legislation. ‘Non-performing Assets’ were growing and a need was felt to reduce the ‘Non-performing Assets’ of the Banks drastically. As the recovery through Courts was a difficult exercise for the Banks, initially, a special legislation called ‘The Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993’ was enacted creating a Special Tribunal called ‘Debt Recovery Tribunal’. Under the Act, the Banks are entitled to approach the Tribunal by filing an ‘Original Application’ which is similar to filing a suit in Civil Court proceedings. However, unlike the ‘Civil Court’ which is supposed to follow the ‘Civil Procedure Code’, a special and simple procedure has been prescribed under ‘The Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993’. At the end of adjudication, the Tribunal is supposed to grant a certificate called ‘Recovery Certificate’ infavour of the Bank...

Random Pick... Why me?  Arthur Ashe , the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to the infected blood he had received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"? To this Arthur Ashe replied: "The world over - 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals... When I was holding a cup I never asked God 'Why me?'. And today in pain I should not be asking God 'Why me?'

But years later, a collection of mistakes called experience leads us to the success...”
