5 OBJECTIVE

activities. Provide standardized guidance to examiners on e-banking reviews.
This study has been developed for those of you who are keen to acquiresome basic
but key information about Banking industry as an initial step towardsbecoming a
more informed individual. I hope this module will act as a meansof satisfying some
of your initial queries on this industry.

The paper aims to examine the scenario of ATM in banks. In this broader
framework, an attempt is made to achieve the following specific objectives:
 To analyze the present ATM facilities
 To examine the factors affecting the choice of ATM.
 To examine the impact of ATM on customer satisfaction by appraising the
problems faced by the customers.
 To analyze the post purchase behavior of customers regarding the different
banks under study.

6 DATA COLLECTION

Primary data has been collected through questionnaire. A sample size of 100
respondents

―Impact of ATM on customer satisfaction‖ focus that customer satisfaction is
one of the major factors measuring the performance of the banks. This paper
examines the customer satisfaction level in the three banks under study with
special reference to problems faced, responses about the fee charged and post
purchase behavior of the consumers after using ATM. The paper also examines the
relationship between various ATM facilities, factors affecting the choice of ATM
and its interplay with customer satisfaction.

The customer satisfaction level has been analyzed in two terms i.e. material
customer satisfaction (MCS) level and abstract customer satisfaction (ACS) level.
Customer satisfaction in material sense denotes the aggregate position of the banks
in terms of fee charged, frequency with which problems are faced and post
purchase behavior of the customers. In abstract sense, customer satisfaction level
denotes the position of the banks in terms of post purchase behavior, the efficiency
of facilities provided and the example of others using the ATM of the same bank.

7 Research Methodology & Data Base

The present study is of analytical and exploratory nature. Accordingly, the use has
been made of primary as well as secondary data. The secondary data have been
collected mainly from RBI monthly bulletins, Financial Express political weekly,
various newspapers and other literature available in the field. To know the
problems of ATM structured questionnaires have been used to collect the data
from customers using ATM services.

15 DEFNEATION OF ATM
ATM means neither “avoids traveling with money” nor “any time money,” but
certainly implies both. Slim ATM cards are fast replacing confounding withdrawal
forms as a convenient way of getting your money from banks. In a way, they are
rewriting the rules of financial transaction. A smart person no longer needs to carry
a wallet-full of paper money on his person. All he needs to do is fish out an ATM
(automated teller machine) card, insert it in the slot, punch in a few details and go
home with hard cash.

Automated teller machines (ATMs) were the first well-known machines to
provide electronic access to customers. With advent of Automatic Teller Machines
(ATM), banks are able to serve customers outside the banking hall. ATM is
designed to perform the most important function of bank. It is operated by plastic
card with its special features. The plastic card is replacing cheque, personal
attendance of the customer, banking hour‘s restrictions and paper based
verification. ATMs have made hard cash just seconds away all throughout the day
at every corner of the globe. ATMs allow you to do a number of banking functions
– such as withdrawing cash from one‘s account, making balance inquiries and
transferring money from one account to another – using a plastic, magnetic-strip
card and personal identification number issued by the financial institution.

15.3 THE INDIAN ATM INDUSTRY
The Indian ATM industry has seen explosive growth in recent times. ATMs
represent the single largest investment in the electronic channel services for the
Banks. In India, HSBC set the trend and set up the first ATM machine here in
1987. Since then, they have become a common sight in many of our metros.
Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) have gained prominence as a delivery
channel for banking transactions in India. Banks have been deploying ATMs to
increase their reach. While ATMs facilitate a variety of banking transactions for
customers, their main utility has been for cash withdrawal and balance enquiry. As
at the end of October 2007, the number of ATMs deployed in India was 31,078.
According to some estimates the total cash movement through ATMs across India
was around Rs. 70,000 crore in FY 06. Clearly, industry watchers forecast a bright
future for ATMs in India. While the ATM is a great service for customers, for the
banks it means immense savings on the cost of operations. While a typical cash
transaction carried out in a banks branch premise would cost Rs 40 that in an ATM
will only cost Rs18translating into a cost saving of Rs 22 per transaction.

32

15.4 ATM NETWORKS

The ATMs of a bank are connected to the accounting platform of the bank through
ATM switches. Inter-bank ATM networks are created by setting up apex level
switches to communicate between the ATM switches of different banks. The inter-
bank ATM networks facilitate the use of ATM cards of one bank at the ATM(s) of
other banks for basic services like cash withdrawal and balance enquiry. Banks
owning the ATMs charge a fee for providing the ATM facility to the customers of
other banks. The ATM deploying bank from the card issuing banks recovers this
fee referred to as ‗interchange fee‘. However the interchange fee is not fixed across
banks and depends on the terms of bilateral / multilateral arrangements. Banks with

16 MATERIAL CONSUMER SATISFACTION
LEVEL:

Material customer satisfaction level has been examined on the basis of three
variables i.e. reasonability of the fee charged, frequency with which problems are
faced and the post purchase behavior of the customers.

16.1 Fee Charged

Fee charged by the banks is one of the variables taken for checking customer
satisfaction level. If customer feels that the fee charged by the bank is reasonable
then he is satisfied and vice-versa. Five degrees of reasonability have been taken
and they are coded as 5, 4, 3, 2, &1. There is direct relation between fee charged
and customer satisfaction.

16.2 Problems Faced
Second parameter for measuring MCS level is problems faced by the consumers
while using ATM of a particular bank. If consumers are facing problems more
frequently, customer satisfaction level will be less and vice-versa. There is indirect
relation between the problems faced and the customer satisfaction. Three degrees
namely often, rarely and never have been taken and they have rated as 3, 2, & 1
respectively.

55

16.3 Post Purchase Behavior

Post purchase behavior has been analyzed through two statements. If they are
agreeing with these statements then their customer satisfaction level is rated to be
high. There are five degrees for each statement and they are rated as 5,4,3,2 & 1
accordingly. Post purchase behavior has direct relation with customer satisfaction
level.

17 Overall Material Customer Satisfaction Level

After considering all the elements of customer satisfaction they are combined
together to find out the overall customer satisfaction level in materialistic terms.
The overall customer satisfaction level is the combination of three parameters i.e.
fee charged, frequency of the problems faced and the post purchase behavior.

18 Abstract Customer Satisfaction Level (ACS)

Abstract customer satisfaction level has been examined through the deep study of
the various parameters of customer satisfaction. Three parameters have been
chosen for this purpose i.e. factors affecting choice of ATM, the purpose for which
ATM is often used and the problems faced while using ATM.

18.1 Factors affecting choice of ATM

While choosing ATM of a particular bank customer takes care of some things.
They are known as factors affecting the choice of ATM.

56

18.2 The purpose for which ATM is most often used

ATM does not mean the plastic card and PIN (Personal Identification Number) but
the services for which you can use it are the most important part. These services
are cash/cheque deposit, fast cash withdrawal, view account balances & mini
statements and request a chequebook or account statement.

Among all the factors affecting example of others is one, which is the clear
indicator of the customer satisfaction. People will purchase ATM of a
particular bank on the basis of other‟s example if customers using it
previously are satisfied.
