CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction

In India, the use of the internet and mobile phones has exploded during the previous few
decades. Increased internet usage, mobile phone penetration, and government initiatives such
as digital payment mechanisms are all functioning as catalysts for exponential growth in
digital payment usage. Digital payment refers to electronic consumer transactions for services
and products made at the point of sale (POS) via online banking, mobile banking, or card
payment.

The digital revolution, according to the National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI), has
made digital payment simple. In India, there are about 100 million active mobile connections
and over 22 million SMS subscribers.

Mobile banking is a service offered by a bank or other financial institution that allows
consumers to execute financial transactions remotely using a mobile device such as a cell
phone or a handheld computer. In contrast to related internet banking, it makes use of
software, commonly referred to as apps, given by financial institutions. These applications
offer service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Because of its convenience, customers are
increasingly expecting, demanding, and wanting to conduct business using mobile devices.
Both the United States and India launched mobile banking practically simultaneously. Mobile
banking is quickly establishing itself as the most convenient, cost-effective, and efficient
method of conducting business.

As shown in a recent study by Mapa (2012), more than a third of banks detect mobile devices
when they visit their main website. Account information, transactions, investments, assistance,
and content offerings are all examples of typical mobile banking services.

While India's economy is rapidly moving toward digitalization of monetary transactions, it is


critical to meet the customer needs with mobile banking applications. The study also focuses
on identifying the aspects that influence consumer satisfaction with mobile banking
applications, as well as highlighting the biggest issue that users encounter when utilising this
real-time money transfer service.

1
1.2 Statement of the study
The development of mobile banking applications can be seen as a step toward a digital India. In
these instances, it is essential to consider the level of satisfaction with these applications between
various individuals. The project focuses on determining consumer satisfaction with Mobile
Banking Applications among youth. It is said that there is a significant shift from cash to cashless
transactions. This research also looks into the elements that influence user satisfaction with
mobile banking apps.

1.3 Significance of the study


The purpose of the study is to determine the level of customer satisfaction with mobile
banking applications among youth. Because India is heading toward digitalization, these apps
can help make monetary transactions simpler and more convenient. However, it's also crucial
to understand the aspects that influence client satisfaction with mobile banking apps. Only in
this way can we comprehend why there is such a large shift from cash to cashless
transactions. This research could also aid in determining client satisfaction with mobile
banking services.

1.4 Objectives of the study


● To study the preference among youth regarding mobile banking application

● To understand the factors that influences the customer satisfaction towards mobile
banking application.
● To measure the level of satisfaction among youth regarding mobile banking
application

1.5 Hypothesis
H01: There is no significant association between Gender and level of preference towards
mobile banking application

H02: There is no significant difference between gender and factors which influences the
preference towards mobile banking application

H03: There is no significant difference between gender and level of satisfaction with the
services provided by mobile banking application

1.6 Research methodology

Primary data was collected from 71 respondents among youth. Data is collected by using non-
probability sampling method through structured questionnaires via online survey tools called
Google forms. Data collected from various secondary sources like books, magazines, journal
papers, websites, reports, working papers, etc were also used to get knowledge about the
research area and develop a theoretical framework and research hypotheses. Microsoft Excel
was also used to done some descriptive analysis. SPSS 26 has been used to perform various
tests like Chi Square and Factor Analysis. Cronbach Alpha is the measure used to check the
reliability of the instrument. The alpha value of more than 0.60 is acceptable according to
some past studies done in the area. With the help of SPSS 26, a Reliability test has been
performed on Likert Scale questions. For the attitudinal scale used in the questionnaire, the
Cronbach Alpha value obtained was 0.829. Thus, the research instrument used is considered as
reliable.
1.7 Scope of the study

The study tries to find out the level of customer satisfaction towards mobile banking
applications among youth. Efforts were taken to include maximum samples and measure major
indicators of mobile banking.

1.8 Methods of data collection

Primary sources of data:


The study is mainly based on primary data. They are first-hand information collected by the
surveyor. The data collected are pure and original and collected for a specific purpose. They
have never undergone any statistical treatment before. In the study, data is collected from the
respondents through a well-structured questionnaire.

Secondary sources of data:


This type of data is opposite to primary data. They are collected and published already by
someone else. They can be used as a source of data and used by surveyors to collect data from
and conduct the analysis. Secondary data are had undergone statistical treatment at least once.

3
Secondary source of data is also used for conducting the study. They include journals and
magazines.

1.9 Limitation

● The biggest constraint expected during this study is lack of time and money.
● As this study is based on primary data, there is a risk of personal bias on the respondents'
behalf.
● As the Study is mainly focusing on a special group. So, there is a limitation in availability
of the sample.

● Physical in-depth interview cannot be conducted due to ongoing global pandemic

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Review of Literature

1. Bansal A.K. (2017), The modern customer is no longer a passive consumer, but rather
an assertive individual who expects more and more speed, accuracy, flexibility,
empowerment, personalization, dependable service, and cost, time, and convenience
efficiency. Customers are now more interested in the way in which products are offered
than in the products themselves. Customers are not only difficult to please, but they can
also be difficult to forgive. They require immediate answers. They want banking to be
available at all times and in any location. Banks are addressing these issues by
employing innovative technologies in the design of their websites. Bankers' purpose is
to keep clients pleased in order to help them meet their business growth goals.
2. Ankit (2011)has identified the mobile banking aspects that influence consumer
happiness in India. The information for the study was gathered using questionnaires.
The study's findings suggest that banking demands, such as ease, privacy, risk, and
issue resolution, are the most important factors of consumer happiness, whereas feature
availability and customer retention have just a little influence. According to the
study, giving courteous services to clients would play an important part in improving
overall customer satisfaction while using mobile banking services.
3. RenjuChandran (2014) In his paper, "Pros and Cons of Mobile Banking," he
examined the advantages and drawbacks of mobile banking. This is a conceptual
paper based on secondary information. This research examines the advantages,
disadvantages, and future of benefits in India. The research is primarily descriptive. For
the purposes of the study, secondary data is utilised. In this study, the recent trend of
mobile banking statistical reports will be examined using the RBI website as a source.
According to the findings, banking applications may make bill paying and bank account
management extremely simple, but the possibility of identity theft is a significant
disadvantage. Fortunately, most of the risks may be avoided with common sense
solutions such as robust password security.
4. Dr. Parul Deshwal (2015) In his paper A Study of Mobile Banking in India, he
explains the mobile banking idea in India. This article examines consumer acceptance of

5
mobile banking, a novel electronic payment service, as well as the positive and negative
factors that impact its adoption in India. It discusses the history of mobile banking in
India. The conclusions of this study are tentative. This research is both quantitative and
qualitative. Primary and secondary data have been isolated from the rest of the data. The
fundamental concept of mobile banking is studied, as well as the problems that users
face while adopting it, the benefits and drawbacks of mobile banking, and the various
uses for mobile banking. Costs as seen by the general people. According to his research,
cost is also a crucial factor; so, this study advises that innovative advertising and pricing
strategies, such as cost reduction, be used to attract more price aware clientele. If mobile
banking is simple to use, customers are more likely to utilise it and understand it.
5. Hilton, Christi, Dig, Moskal, Burckhardt &Tillmann (2014) As a result, all
transactions carried out by the application must be atomic. This indicates that a
transaction is either completed in its entirety or does not occur at all. Atomicity is
critical for maintaining the integrity of the entire system. Typically, the application will
communicate with the bank's databases. Atomicity should provide users confidence that
when they use the app, their transactions will be completed completely. Consistency is
the second crucial feature for the application to have. Consistency in this sense
indicates that each transaction should move the system from one legitimate state to
another.
6. Yang, Yan, &Rountev (2013) The study of customer perceived value is important
since it is linked to the consumer's innate pleasure and subsequent loyalty to the
organization. As a result, analyzing the characteristics of customer perceived value in
mobile banking creates a real-world framework that an investor may use to understand
consumer behavior. The functional worth of the company facility, the functional worth
of contact staff, the functional worth of the services offered, and the functional value
pricing, emotional, and social values are among these dimensions. As a result, the
purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics that are expected to influence
consumer perceptions of the bank's mobile banking services.
7. Salvendy (2012) According to the study's findings, a user's capacity to interact with a
mobile banking application is strongly dependent on the program's user interface
design.

6
8. Rahmath Safeena, Hema Date, Abdullah Kammani, and NisarHundewale (2012) In
their study, Technology Adoption and Indian Customers: A Study on Mobile Banking,
they explain how technology adoption in mobile banking services is dependent on
Indian consumers' opinions. The purpose of this survey is to find out what consumers
think about mobile banking uptake. Perceived utility, perceived ease of use, consumer
knowledge of mobile banking, and perceived hazards connected with mobile banking
are all criteria considered in this study. The purpose of this study is to see how
perceived utility, perceived simplicity of use, consumer awareness of mobile banking,
and perceived risk affect customer acceptance of mobile banking. The main goal of
this article is to assess the elements that influence customers' attitudes regarding
mobile banking and their rising preference for online financial institutions.Data from
past research on mobile banking acceptability was used to create a survey instrument
in the form of a questionnaire. The respondents' impressions of mobile banking
adoption are measured using a Likert scale. According to the findings, bank clients are
more inclined to utilize mobile banking if it is simple to use.
9. Jacko (2012) Customer happiness with mobile banking is thus dependent on the design
of the mobile banking application that users will use, according to the report. In any
system, several key qualities of a successful user interface design are critical.
10. SudipKar Purkayastha, (2010) In both the United States and India, mobile banking
was launched virtually simultaneously. Mobile Financial is quickly becoming the most
convenient, cost-effective, and efficient way to execute banking transactions. Mobile
Financial is a technology-enabled service provided by banks to their clients that allows
them to do some banking transactions using SMS on their mobile phones.
11. Dipanwita Dutta, (2010)Mobile banking is connected with a number of benefits,
including cost savings, the removal of bank fees, and the ease of mobile phone banking,
such as user friendliness, anyplace banking, and anytime banking. Mobile Banking
users have increased threefold over the last two years as a result of these capabilities.
Mobile Banking is the most satisfying because of its characteristics such as cheap cost,
convenience of use, client mobility, and lower transaction costs for the banker.
12. Sadeghi and Hanzaee(2010) In Iran, we looked at the aspects that influence consumer
satisfaction when using mobile banking services. Customers' contentment with Internet

7
image, correctness, and the perception of the bank's management are determined to
have the most important influence on customer satisfaction, according to the study.
Customer satisfaction is influenced by factors such as privacy and security, but only to
a little extent. It has been argued that, in order to investigate a direct link between
customers' educational level and the extent to which they utilise banks' electronic
services, consumers' knowledge and apprehension can be conclusive elements in raising
the degree to which customers use banks' electronic services.
13. Kumar, Singh, & Jayanthi (2016) The user must have faith that his or her transactions
will be safe and secure. Data security is crucial in today's systems and applications.
Because data on the internet, in systems, and on networks is subject to a number of
dangers, data security is crucial.
14. Kizza (2015) A mobile application's security is a crucial aspect. Data will be gathered
both for the company's own use and for the benefit of clients. As a result, the
corporation is likely to have a large amount of potentially sensitive information on its
hands. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of data security. Despite
advancements in security software, physical infrastructure is intrinsically related to
security.
15. Booth (2014) Users can use their mobile device to access their banking services using
the mobile banking application. For system users, interaction with the programme is
critical.
16. Raja et al. (2013) Banks that give their clients with smooth transaction services are
more likely to achieve high levels of customer satisfaction, and hence compete more
favorably with competing banks since they are able to keep their customers.
17. Hoober & Berkman, (2012) A user should be able to figure out what each button does
just by glancing at the programme. This implies that the application's functionality and
accompanying buttons should be properly identified. If a user is unable to comprehend
the application's features, they are unlikely to use it. This is especially true with a
mobile banking application. Because the programme will deal with sensitive
information, the user will be hesitant to use it if the instructions are unclear, for fear of
making a mistake.
18. Zhao, Zhang & Chau (2012) In mobile value-added services, service quality is an

8
essential indicator of client happiness. This is due to the fact that a client must be
certain that the application offers the best degree of service possible in order to be
pleased while using it. This implies that when a user wants to execute a given
transaction, the application should deliver high-quality services.

19. Kim & Hwang (2012) For mobile consumers, service quality is one of the most crucial
factors to consider. This is due to the fact that service quality influences the degree of
service a user receives from a certain application.
20. Vogels (2009) This acronym stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and
Durability, according to the author. These traits are essential for any computer system
to perform smoothly and deliver high levels of service to clients. Any transactions
made using the mobile banking app should be identical to those made in person at the
bank. This is crucial for maintaining consistency.

CHAPTER III

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Theoretical Framework

Smartphones are compatible with the Mobile Banking App. Nowadays, the majority of banks
provide a software programme that the account user may easily download from the bank's
website or through the play-store application on his smartphone. This application serves as a
secure and sophisticated channel that provides access to a wide range of mobile banking
services. The majority, if not all, of one's banking needs may be addressed using this app, which
uses an M-PIN password for protection. Banks that provide this type of mobile banking service
have their own bespoke software programme.
Concept of Mobile Banking
According to the Reserve Bank of India's Master Circular 2008, "Mobile Banking Transactions"
refers to bank clients accessing, crediting, or debiting their accounts via their mobile phones.
This RBI definition not only specifies the scope of mobile banking, but also the required
elements that must be taken into account while defining the parameters of a mobile banking
research. In the scope of the research of mobile banking, the definition explicitly states what
should be included as well as what should be omitted. In India, mobile banking rules seek to
facilitate real-time financial transfers from any bank account to any other bank (interoperability),
regardless of the customer's mobile network subscription.Mobile banking may be done by using
a browser or your mobile phone to access your bank's website, sending a text message, or
downloading a mobile banking application to your phone. Mobile Banking is made up of three
principles that are all interconnected: mobile accounting, mobile brokerage, and mobile financial
information (Bamoriya& Singh, 2011).
Mobile banking is described as "the supply and management of banking and financial services
using mobile communications devices," based with one academic model. Facilities for
conducting bank and stock market transactions, administering accounts, and accessing
customized information may be included in the scope of supplied services."
Global history and evolution of mobile banking applications
In 1999 (the same year as Fundamo launched their initial prototype), the first mobile banking and
payment efforts were revealed. A business named Pay Box was the first to do a substantial
rollout (largely supported financially by Deutsche Bank). Two young Germans (Mathias
Entemann and Eckart Ortwein) formed the firm, which has successfully deployed the solution in

12
Germany, Austria, Sweden, Spain, and the United Kingdom. More than a million 32 individuals
were registered on Pay Box about 2003, and the firm was ranked as the top in the market by
Gartner. Unfortunately, Deutsch Bank withdrew its financial assistance, forcing the firm to
swiftly restructure. All save the Austrian activities were shut down.
Mobi Pago, a Spanish effort funded by BBVA and Telephonic, was another early starter and
acknowledged as a pioneer in the area. Later, the name was changed to Mobi Pay, and all
Spanish banks and mobile carriers were encouraged to participate. When the product was first
introduced in 2003, numerous businesses agreed to accept the unique USSD payment
confirmation. The product never lived up to its promise due to the complicated shareholding and
continual political issues of the several owners. This programme is now sinking due to a lack of
marketing support and a compelling justification for adoption.
Many other significant companies launched projects and pilots with much hoopla, but none of
them gained traction, and all of them were eventually abandoned. Some of the first instances are
the well-known vending machines at the Helsinki airport, which are powered by a Nokia system.
Siemens made announcements in partnership with Brokat, a publicly traded and high-flying
German e-commerce startup. Brokat also got the lucrative Vodafone contract in 2002, but the
company went bankrupt shortly after due to a lack of funding. A considerable number of mobile
payment start-ups have emerged in Israel. Only one of the numerous survived - Trivnet. Others,
such as Adamtech (who had a technically solid solution called Cell pay) and Paytt, went out of
business after a few pilots but no successful production deployments. Norway, Sweden, and
France all tried but failed to gain traction. France Telecom has unveiled an ambitious idea based
on a unique mobile phone with a built-in card reader. The method worked effectively, but it
never gained traction because of the unappealing, 33 unique phone that participants needed to
make these payments. The mobile banking and payment business has matured since 2004.
Recently, there have been successful deployments with favourable business cases and significant
strategic implications. During 200809, the widespread use of mobile technology and WAP
enabled strategies resulted in a significant increase in e-banking or mobile banking. In June
2013, there were 6587.4 million global mobile subscriptions.
Mobile Banking Applications in India
Union Bank of India, India's first state-owned bank to launch mobile banking services, has just
1700 mobile banking subscribers thus far. SBI has only received 10,000 registrations for mobile

13
banking, whereas ICICI bank became the first bank in India to offer complete mobile banking
services to its customers on January 11, 2008 (ICICI bank, Press Release, 2008). ICICI bank has
80 lakh customers registered for mobile banking, HDFC bank has 40 lakh, and Kotak Mahindra
bank has around 52000 clients. According to the Boston-based financial regional and consulting
organisation, 84 percent of Indian households were unbanked in 2005, while mobile banking has
increased by 94 percent in India since 2002. In this context, Patel estimates that India's active
mobile banking users will reach 25 million by 2012.According to a study by the Reserve Bank of
India, 82 banks were allowed to provide mobile banking application services in India in 2014,
compared to 21 banks in 2010. According to the latest RBI data, 445 banks in India are licensed
to provide mobile banking application services as of July 31, 2018. In India, the volume and
value of mobile banking transactions has increased dramatically. According to RBI data on the
payment and settlement system (month-by-month), the number of mobile banking transactions
was 19.75 million in April 2015, 48.67 million in April 2016, and 106.27 million in April
2017.In comparison to 2016 and 2015, the amount of monthly mobile banking transactions at the
RBI increased significantly in 2017. This clearly indicates that the amount of mobile banking
transactions in India is expanding. According to the Economic Times (11th January 2017), based
on RBI statistics, mobile banking applications have emerged as the clear victor among all digital
payment choices since the Prime Minister of India declared demonetisation on November 8,
2016. According to RBI data on payment and settlement systems, there were 8.55 million mobile
banking transactions in the first month after the note ban (November 2016), compared to 7.81
million transactions in the month before the note ban (October 2016).

Characteristics/features of Mobile Banking Applications

Over time, mobile banking applications have grown in popularity. Banks provide mobile banking
to their customers not just because it is convenient, but also because it saves them money. Here
are some characteristics/features to think about while using mobile banking apps: \

1. Saving money: Many banks utilise the money saved from online transactions to give
customers greater interest rates or other incentives for keeping their accounts online.

2. Environmentally friendly: Mobile banking minimises the quantity of paper transactions that
would otherwise occur if a customer visited or contacted a bank. Reduced paper use aids in the
preservation of natural resources and is beneficial for the environment.

3. Cross-selling: Banks frequently utilise mobile banking to cross-sell or up-sell other financial
services, such as credit cards and vehicle loans.The client is more likely to explore such services
when performing an online banking transaction since he or she is not being forced to do so.

17
4. Convenience: When compared to contacting or visiting a bank, mobile banking is
unquestionably more convenient. Financial transactions can be carried out at any time of day or
night, as well as on weekends and holidays.

5. A larger customer base: Because mobile banking can be done from any computer, clients
who would previously have to look for a more local bank no longer have to. As a result, the
bank's client base is geographically broader and consequently greater.

6. Security: There are certain security risks with mobile banking. Hackers have been known to
obtain access to customer accounts, however it is uncommon. Banks have been more cautious
about protecting mobile banking access points, demanding additional passwords or security
questions.

7. Information: Clients who use mobile banking have a better understanding of their daily
balances and financial transactions. They're more likely to have a balanced chequebook and
discover mistakes or even fraud.

8. Convenience: Clients may use mobile banking to set up automatic bill payment and other
chores. This streamlines bill payment and eliminates the need for the customer to write cheques
and ship envelopes. When a client is out of the country and unable to pick up the mail, automated
bill payment is quite useful.

9. Account notice: When a bill is due or an account statement is ready, most banks will send an
e-mail notification to their customers. This aids the customer in remembering to pay bills and
other obligations before they get past late.

10. Devices: Mobile banking was originally made available through personal computer over the
Internet. It was eventually made accessible on other (and smaller) devices, such as smart phones
and personal digital assistants (PDAs). Clients will no longer need to bring a laptop with them or
stay at their desktop computers to monitor their bank accounts.

Challenges for mobile banking Applications solutions

Key challenges in developing a sophisticated mobile banking application are:

19
Handset accessibility

There are an outsized number of colorful mobile bias and it's an enormous challenge for banks to
supply a mobile banking result on any kind of device. Some of these bias support Java ME etal.
support SIM Application Toolkit, a WAP cyberspace, or only SMS. Original interoperability
issues still are localized, with countries like India using doors like"R- World"to enable the
restrictions of low end java grounded phones, while specialise in areas similar as South Africa
have defaulted to the USSD as a base of communication attainable with any phone.

The desire for interoperability is basically hooked in to the banks themselves, where installed
operations (Java grounded or native) give better security, are easier to use and permit
development of further complex capabilities nearly like those of internet banking while SMS can
give the fundamentals but becomes delicate to work with further complex deals. There's a myth
that there is a challenge of interoperability between mobile banking operations thanks to
perceived lack of common technology norms for mobile banking. In practice it's too early within
the service lifecycle for interoperability to be addressed within a private country, as only a many
countries have relatively one mobile banking service provider. In practice, banking interfaces are
well defined and plutocrat movements between banks follow the IS0-8583 standard. As mobile
banking matures, plutocrat movements between service providers will naturally borrow an
original norms as within the banking world. In January 2009, Mobile Marketing Association
(MMA) BankingSub-Committee, chaired by Cell Trust and VeriSignInc., published the Mobile
Banking Overview for fiscal institutions during which it bandied the advantages and downsides
of Mobile Channel Platforms like Short Communication Services (SMS), Mobile Web, Mobile
Client Applications,. SMS with Mobile Web and Secure SMS.

Security

As with utmost internet- connected bias, as well as mobile-telephony bias, cybercrime rates are
raising time-on- time. The types of cybercrimes which may affect mobile banking might range
from unauthorized use while the proprietor is using the mobile banking, to remote-hacking, or
indeed jamming or hindrance via the internet or telephone network data aqueducts. This is
demonstrated by the malware called SMSZombie.A, which infected Chinese Android bias. It
was bedded in wallpaper apps and installed itself so it can exploit the sins of China Mobile SMS

20
Payment system, stealing banks credit card figures and information linked to fiscal deals. One of
the most advanced malwares discovered lately was the Trojan called Bankbot. It went once
Google's protections in its Android app business and targeted Wells Fargo, Chase, and Citibank
guests on Android bias worldwide before its junking by Google in September 2017. This vicious
app was actuated when druggies opened a banking app, overlaying it so it can steal banking
credentials.

In the banking world, currency rates may change by the millisecond.

Security of financial deals, being executed from some remote position and transmission of
financial information over the air, are the most complicated challenges that need to be addressed
jointly by mobile operation formulators, wireless network service providers and the
banks'ITdepartments.The following aspects need to be addressed to offer a secure infrastructure
for financial transaction over wireless network:

1. Physical part of the hand-held device. If the bank is offering smart-card based security, the
physical security of the device is more important.

2. Security of any thick-client application running on the device. In case the device is stolen,
the hacker should require at least an ID/Password to access the application.

3. Authentication of the device with service provider before initiating a transaction. This would
ensure that unauthorized devices are not connected to perform financial transactions.

4. User ID / Password authentication of bank's customer.

5. Encryption of the data being transmitted over the air. 6. Encryption of the data that will be
stored in device for later / off-line analysis by the customer.

One-time password (OTPs) is the latest tool used by financial and banking service providers in
the fight against cyber fraud. Instead of relying on traditional memorized passwords, OTPs are
requested by consumers each time they want to perform transactions using the online or mobile
banking interface. When the request is received the password is sent to the consumer's phone via
SMS. The password is expired once it has been used or once its scheduled life cycle has expired.
Because of the concerns made explicit above, it is extremely important that SMS gateway

21
providers can provide a decent quality of service for banks and financial institutions in regards to
SMS services. Therefore, the provision of service level agreements (SLAs) is a requirement for
this industry; it is necessary to give the bank customer delivery guarantees of all messages, as
well as measurements on the speed of delivery, throughput, etc. SLAs give the service
parameters in which a messaging solution is guaranteed to perform.

Scalability and reliability

Another challenge for the CIOs and CTOs of the banks is to gauge-up the mobile banking
structure to handle exponential growth of the client base. With mobile banking, the client may be
sitting in any part of the world ( true anytime, anywhere banking) and hence banks need to insure
that the systems are over and running in a true 24 × 7 fashion. As guests will find mobile
banking more and more useful, their prospects from the result will increase. Banks unfit to meet
the performance and trustability prospects may lose client confidence. There are systems similar
as Mobile Transaction Platform which allow quick and secure mobile enabling of colorful
banking services. Lately in India there has been a phenomenal growth in the use of Mobile
Banking operations, with leading banks espousing Mobile Transaction Platform and the Central
Bank publishing guidelines for mobile banking operations.

Application distribution

Due to the nature of the connectivity between bank and its guests, it would be impracticable to
anticipate guests to regularly visit banks or connect to a web point for regular upgrade of their
mobile banking operation. It'll be anticipated that the mobile operation itself check the upgrades
and updates and download necessary patches ( socalled"Over The Air"updates). Still, there could
be numerous issues to apply this approach similar as upgrade/ synchronization of other
dependent factors. Studies have shown that a huge concerning factor of having mobile banking
more extensively used is a banking client's reluctance to acclimatize. Numerous consumers,
whether they're misinformed or not, don't want to begin using mobile banking for several
reasons. These can include the literacy wind associated with new technology, having fears about
possible security negotiations, just simply not wanting to start using technology, etc.

22
Personalization

It would be expected from the mobile application to support personalization such as:

1. Preferred Language

2. Date / Time format

3. Amount format

4. Default transactions

5. Standard Beneficiary list

6. Alerts

Summarised View of Regulations Set up by RBI for Governing the Mobile Banking Service
in India.

 Only banks which are licensed and supervised in India along with having physical
presence in India are authorised to offer mobile banking services. The service shall be
offered only to bank holders and only rupee based transactions and services are available.
Cross border transactions are not permitted.
 Banks which have already implemented core banking in past are allowed offering mobile
banking.
 Banks are required to maintain secrecy and confidentiality of customers account and are
required to make mandatory disclosure of customers’ risk and responsibility on the
bank’s website or through printed brochures and also on the application forms issued for
registering for mobile banking service.
 Banks should design full proof and dependable system for verification of sender and
receiver in case of any transaction affected through mobile banking.
 Banks can also use the service of business correspondents/ agents appointed in
compliance with RBI guidelines to support its activities for providing mobile banking
facility however the bank shall be responsible for all acts of omission commission of their
agent. Banks are also expected to develop outsourcing guidelines to manage risk of
defective service from third party provider.

5.2 Suggestions

1 Respondents have a neutral opinion that their personal information is not misused, there
are most satisfied with that. This issue should be resolved
2 The knowledge about the investment opportunities with mobile banking should be
provided to the users.
3 Lack of computer/tablet/ phone knowledge prevents user from mobile banking so
measures should be taken according to it.
4 Proper customer redressal system should be maintained to create trust and improve
security.

5.3 Conclusion

The study has analyzed the customer satisfaction towards mobile banking applications. This
study shows that majority of the respondents are satisfied with the mobile banking applications
by the banks. The users prefer to use severs facilities provided by these applications. It can be
considered that mobile banking application definitely changes the way we are transferring now
and transforming in to digital payment where each person’s smart phone will be the primary
device for all payment. We know that in recent times, there is an enormous growth in smart
phone uses and penetration of internet in rural service. This leads big potential for adoption of
mobile banking applications by Indian customers. On the basis of the study, the Gender does not
have significant relation with level of satisfaction of the customers. From all the above points we
can conclude that mobile banking will gradually end the cash payment and reduce the circulation
of currency note. This will lead to a transparent system and cash less economy.
