Chapter 1
Introduction
Retail banking is, however, quite broad in nature - it refers to the dealing of commercial
banks with individual customers, both on liabilities and assets sides of the balance sheet. Fixed,
current / savings accounts on the liabilities side; and mortgages, loans (e.g., personal, housing,
auto, and educational) on the assets side, are the more important of the products offered by
banks. Related ancillary services include credit cards, or depository services.
The issue of retail banking is extremely important and topical. Across the globe, retail
lending has been a spectacular innovation in the commercial banking sector in recent years.
The growth of retail lending, especially, in emerging economies, is attributable to the rapid
advances in information technology, the evolving macroeconomic environment, financial
market reform, and several micro-level demand and supply side factors.
India too experienced a surge in retail banking. There are various pointers towards this.
Retail loan is estimated to have accounted for nearly one-fifth of all bank credit. Housing sector
is experiencing a boom in its credit. The retail loan market has decisively got transformed from
a sellers’ market to a buyers’ market. All these emphasize the momentum that retail banking is
experiencing in the Indian economy in recent years.
Retail banking refers to provision of banking services to individuals and small business where
the financial institutions are dealing with large number of low value transactions. This is in
contrast to wholesale banking where the customers are large, often multinational companies,
governments and government enterprise, and the financial institution deal in small numbers of
high value transactions.
The concept is not new to banks but is now viewed as an important and attractive market
segment that offers opportunities for growth and profits. Today’s retail banking sector is
characterized by three basic characteristics:
Multiple products (deposits, credit cards, insurance, investments and securities)
Multiple channels of distribution (call center, branch, and internet)
Multiple customer groups (consumer, small business, and corporate).
