Introduction to e-banking
Online banking
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Online banking is an electronic payment system that enables customers of a financial institution
to conduct financial transactions on a website operated by the institution, such as a retail bank,
virtual bank, credit union or building society. Online banking is also referred as Internet
banking, e-banking, virtual banking and by other terms.
To access a financial institution's online banking facility, a customer with Internet access would
need to register with the institution for the service, and set up some password (under various
names) for customer verification. The password for online banking is normally not the same as
for telephone banking. Financial institutions now routinely allocate customers numbers (also
under various names), whether or not customers have indicated an intention to access their online
banking facility. Customers' numbers are normally not the same as account numbers, because a
number of customer accounts can be linked to the one customer number. The customer can link
to the customer number any account which the customer controls, which may be cheque,
savings, loan, credit card and other accounts. Customer numbers will also not be the same as any
debit or credit card issued by the financial institution to the customer.
To access online banking, a customer would go to the financial institution's secured website, and
enter the online banking facility using the customer number and password previously setup.
Some financial institutions have set up additional security steps for access to online banking, but
there is no consistency to the approach adopted.



Features
Online banking facilities offered by various financial institutions have many features and
capabilities in common, but also have some that are application specific.
The common features fall broadly into several categories:
A bank customer can perform non-transactional tasks through online banking, including -
o viewing account balances
o viewing recent transactions
o downloading bank statements, for example in PDF format
o viewing images of paid cheques
o ordering cheque books
o download periodic account statements
o Downloading applications for M-banking, E-banking etc.
Bank customers can transact banking tasks through online banking, including -
o Funds transfers between the customer's linked accounts
o Paying third parties, including bill payments (see, e.g., BPAY) and third party fund
transfers(see, e.g., FAST)
o Investment purchase or sale
o Loan applications and transactions, such as repayments of enrollments
o Credit card applications
o Register utility billers and make bill payments
Financial institution administration
Management of multiple users having varying levels of authority
Transaction approval process
the process of banking has become much faster
Some financial institutions offer unique Internet banking services, for example:
Personal financial management support, such as importing data into personal accounting
software. Some online banking platforms support account aggregation to allow the customers
to monitor all of their accounts in one place whether they are with their main bank or with other
institutions.
History
The precursor for the modern home online banking services were the distance banking services
over electronic media from the early 1980s. The term online became popular in the late '80s and
referred to the use of a terminal, keyboard and TV (or monitor) to access the banking system
using a phone line. 'Home banking' can also refer to the use of a numeric keypad to send tones
down a phone line with instructions to the bank. Online services started in New York in 1981
when four of the city's major banks (Citibank, Chase Manhattan, Chemical and Manufacturers
Hanover) offered home banking services.

using the videotex system. Because of the
commercial failure of videotex these banking services never became popular except in France
where the use of videotex (Minitel) was subsidised by the telecom provider and the UK, where
the Prestel system was used.
When the clicks-and-bricks euphoria hit in the late 1990s, many banks began to view Web-based
banking as a strategic imperative. The attraction of banks to online banking are fairly obvious:
diminished transaction costs, easier integration of services, interactive marketing capabilities,
and other benefits that boost customer lists and profit margins. Additionally, Web banking
services allow institutions to bundle more services into single packages, thereby luring customers
and minimizing overhead.
A mergers-and-acquisitions wave swept the financial industries in the mid-and late 1998s,
greatly expanding banks' customer bases. Following this, banks looked to the Web as a way of
maintaining their customers and building loyalty. A number of different factors are causing
bankers to shift more of their business to the virtual realm.
While financial institutions took steps to implement e-banking services in the mid-1990s, many
consumers were hesitant to conduct monetary transactions over the web. It took widespread
adoption of electronic commerce, based on trailblazing companies such as America Online,
Amazon.com and eBay, to make the idea of paying for items online widespread. By 2000, 80
percent of U.S. banks offered e-banking. Customer use grew slowly. At Bank of America, for
example, it took 10 years to acquire 2 million e-banking customers. However, a significant
cultural change took place after the Y2K scare ended. In 2001, Bank of America became the first
bank to top 3 million online banking customers, more than 20 percent of its customer base. In
comparison, larger national institutions, such as Citigroup claimed 2.2 million online
relationships globally, while J.P. Morgan Chase estimated it had more than 750,000 online
banking customers. Wells Fargo had 2.5 million online banking customers, including small
businesses. Online customers proved more loyal and profitable than regular customers. In
October 2001, Bank of America customers executed a record 3.1 million electronic bill
payments, totaling more than $1 billion. In 2009, a report by Gartner Group estimated that 47
percent of U.S. adults and 30 percent in the United Kingdom bank online.


First online banking services in the United States
According to "Banking and Finance on the Internet," edited by Mary J. Cronin, online banking
was first introduced in the early 1980s in New York. Four major banks--Citibank, Chase
Manhattan, Chemical and Manufacturers Hanover--offered home banking services. Chemical
introduced its Pronto services for individuals and small businesses in 1983. It allowed individual
and small-business clients to maintain electronic checkbook registers, see account balances, and
transfer funds between checking and savings accounts. Pronto failed to attract enough customers
to break even and was abandoned in 1989. Other banks had a similar experience.
