1.2 COMPANY PROFILE
Canara Bank
Widely known for customer centricity, Canara Bank was founded by Shri
Ammembal Subba Rao Pai, a great visionary and philanthropist, in July 1906, at
Mangalore, then a small port town in Karnataka. The Bank has gone through the
various phases of its growth trajectory over hundred years of its existence. Growth
of Canara Bank was phenomenal, especially after nationalization in the year 1969,
attaining the status of a national level player in terms of geographical reach and
clientele segments. Eighties was characterized by business diversification for the
Bank. In June 2006, the Bank completed a century of operation in the Indian
banking industry. The eventful journey of the Bank has been characterized by
several memorable milestones. Today, Canara Bank occupies a premier position
in the comity of Indian banks. With an unbroken record of profits since its
inception, Canara Bank has several firsts to its credit. These include:
Over the years, the Bank has been scaling up its market position to emerge as
a major 'Financial Conglomerate' with as many as nine subsidiaries/sponsored
institutions/joint ventures in India and abroad. As at December 2011, the Bank has
further expanded its domestic presence, with 3564 branches spread across all
geographical segments. Keeping customer convenience at the forefront, the Bank
provides a wide array of alternative delivery channels that include 2665 ATMs,
covering 977 centres.
3
With 100% CBS, the Bank offers technology banking, such as, Internet
Banking, Mobile Banking and Funds Transfer through NEFT and RTGS across all
branches. The Bank has further enhanced its basket of new tech-products for
customer convenience like Canara Gift Cards, Canara Campus Card, Canara
Platinum Card, Bills Desk for utility bills payment, Cash withdrawal at Point of Sale
(PoS) machines at Merchant Establishments, VISA money transfer and the ASBA
(Application Supported by Blocked Amount) facility during FY11 .
Not just in commercial banking, the Bank has also carved a distinctive mark, in
various corporate social responsibilities, namely, serving national priorities,
promoting rural development, enhancing rural self-employment through several
training institutes and spearheading financial inclusion objective. Promoting an
inclusive growth strategy, which has been formed as the basic plank of national
policy agenda today, is in fact deeply rooted in the Bank's founding principles. "A
good bank is not only the financial heart of the community, but also one with
an obligation of helping in every possible manner to improve the economic
conditions of the common people". These insightful words of our founder
continue to resonate even today in serving the society with a purpose. The growth
story of Canara Bank in its first century was due, among others, to the continued
patronage of its valued customers, stakeholders, committed staff and uncanny
leadership ability demonstrated by its leaders at the helm of affairs. We strongly
believe that the next century is going to be equally rewarding and eventful not only
in service of the nation but also in helping the Bank emerge as a "Global Bank
with Best Practices". This justifiable belief is founded on strong fundamentals,
customer centricity, enlightened leadership and a family like work culture.

The aim of the study is to find the satisfaction level of customers in the
bank with regarding supervisor’s friendliness,knowledge,fastness and other
factors .The branch cleanliness and automatic machine available for customer
service also have to be defined.Then the Loan section’s services satisfies the
customers or not also have to be find.

Review of Literature

Review of literature
Planning is the first and the most crucial function of management that tell
where to begin and how things would be well-organized in a system. Human
beings are the most privileged animals of the creation because they need not start
every new thing from the beginning. The past experience is always helpful to
them. They learn from the past and make the plan for the future.
It is evident that most of the service firms are to follow modern marketing concept
to their business operation so that it is able to attract its existing and potential
customers. The marketing concept holds that the key to achieving its
organizational goals consists of the company being more effective than
competitors in creating, delivering and communicating superior customer value to
its chosen target markets. That is why, it is always important for the bankers to
keep satisfied its customer by giving competitive products rather than other
competitors. On the other hand, customers are more conscious than ever in
Bangladesh regarding Consumer credit scheme due to competition in the banking
sector. In this chapter, perception and expectation of customers and bankers
regarding consumer credit scheme are the spotlight in the light of expectation of
consumer credit service by the customers and bankers, customer knowledge
7
regarding consumer credit, perception of Consumer credit by customers and
bankers. The following discussion has also been made regarding the perception
and expectation of Consumer Credit customers and consumer credit providing
bankers.
Performance of Bank
The paper with title “Expectations and Perceptions of Service Quality in Old and
New Generation Banks- A study of select banks in the South Canara Region” by
A.J. Joshina and Moli. P. Koshi (2005) showed that service marketing was
different from goods marketing because of inherent differences in service as
compared to goods. The service was intangible, heterogeneous, production and
consumption took place simultaneously and it was perishable.
The results showed the challenges based by the service business and had
given rise to the need for new concepts and approaches for marketing and
managing service businesses. New generation banks like ICICI, UTI Bank
exceeded expectations of service quality in dimensions of reliability, empathy and
price. In case of other dimensions like tangibility, responsiveness and assurance,
there was negative gap in perception and expectations but it was much smaller in
new generation banks than old generation banks.
Sathya Swaroop Debasish (2001) in his paper titled “Service Quality in
Commercial Banks: A comparative analysis of selected banks in Delhi” evaluated
perception of service quality to customer on basis of three dimensions; the
customer-employee interaction i.e. Functional Quality (FQrefers to service delivery
of the staff to customers); the service environment i.e. Environment Quality (EQ-
refers to tangibles and intangible infrastructure that support better service
delivery);

Bank Customers, Implemented in bank by MohammedShamsuddoha and
Mohammed Alamgir.
Abstract
This study investigates customer satisfaction as the most important factor behind
loyalty in retail banking. Various study showed that satisfaction plays an important
role to establish loyal customer base. This study points out that satisfaction and
loyalty relationship is critical for retail banks. Understanding the factors behind
loyalty as well as the antecedents of customer satisfaction is an important issue for
academic research as well as for marketing in financial services. The major aim of
this study is to identify satisfaction as the major factor behind customer loyalty in
retail banking. To comply with the aim, two basic questions has been investigated
where one is related to determine the relationship between satisfaction and loyalty
in retail banking, and the second one is to determine the role of dimensions of
service quality towards satisfaction. The research has been carried out through
secondary research and primary research. Survey method has been used for
primary research. Personal contact approach through questionnaire has been
introduced to conduct the survey. The findings reveal that satisfaction and loyalty
are related to each other. Moreover, satisfaction has a positive and direct impact
on loyalty in banking.

District in Karnataka. It highlights the banks’ marketing strategies. The satisfaction
level of the customers has been measured and the varieties of new services which
influence the satisfaction level of the customers have been analyzed. The level of
customer service and satisfaction has been determined with the varieties of
services provided by the banks in Belgaum District.
Quality Services’ is the key to win global competition. It influences customer value

perceptions of service quality have greater potential to make correct decisions and
to deliver true value services to customers. This paper identifies the critical quality
dimensions of banking services based on the quality scale proposed by
Parasuraman et al. (1991a and 1991b). The paper investigates the five different
service quality dimensions and presents the results.
Abstract:

quality. This paper aims to assess customers perception on the different
dimensions of service quality such as responsiveness, tangibility, assurance,
empathy, reliability and the overall service quality in Standard Chartered bank, the

Research methodology
12
CHAPTER 3
Research methodology
Researchers not only need to know how to develop certain indices or tests,
how to calculate the mean, the mode, the median or the standard deviation or chi-
square, how to apply particular research techniques, but they also need to know
which of these methods or techniques, are relevant and which are not, and what
would they mean and indicate and why. Researchers also need to understand the
assumptions underlying various techniques and they need to know the criteria by
which they can decide that certain techniques and procedures will be applicable to
certain problems and others will not. All this means that it is necessary for the
researcher to design his methodology for his problem as the same may differ from
problem to problem.
We all possess the vital instinct of inquisitiveness for, when the unknown
confronts us, we wonder and our inquisitiveness makes us probe and attain full
and fuller understanding of the unknown. This inquisitiveness is the mother of all
knowledge and the method, which man employs for obtaining the knowledge of
whatever the unknown, can be termed as research. Research is an academic
activity and as such the term should be used in a technical sense. According to
Clifford Woody research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating
hypothesis or suggested solutions; collecting, organizing and evaluating data;
13
making deductions and reaching conclusions; and at last carefully testing the
conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis.
14
expressed in terms of quantity. Qualitative research, on the other hand, is
concerned with qualitative phenomenon, i.e., phenomena relating to or involving
quality or kind. For instance, when we are interested in investigating the reasons
for human behavior (i.e., why people think or do certain things), we quite often talk
of ‘Motivation Research’, an important type of qualitative research.
(iv) Conceptual vs. Empirical: Conceptual research is that related to
some abstract idea(s) or theory. It is generally used by philosophers and thinkers
to develop new concepts or to reinterpret existing ones.
(v) Some Other Types of Research: All other types of research are
variations of one or more of the above stated approaches, based on either the
purpose of research, or the time required to accomplish research, on the
environment in which research is done, or on the basis of some other similar
factor. Form the point of view of time, we can think of research either as one-time
research or longitudinal research. In the former case the research is confined to a
single time-period, whereas in the latter case the research is carried on over
several time-periods. Research can be field-setting research or laboratory
research or simulation research, depending upon the environment in which it is to
be carried out.
15
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE
· To deliver a positive customer experience is one of the few levers bank can
use to stand out in today’s market.
· To study the Top-quality ,personalized service from the Canara Bank
Tiruchengode branch.

· To enhance the customer service .
· Observation
· Questionnaire
· Personal or Group Interview
· Communication with respondents
· Analysis of documents and historical records
· Case study
· Small group study of random behavior
16
The researcher has chosen the questionnaire methods of data collection due to
limited time in hand. While designing data-collection procedure, adequate
safeguards against bias and unreliability must be ensured. Whichever method is
selected, questions must be well examined and be made unambiguous.
Researcher has examined the collected data for completeness, comprehensibility,
consistently and reliability.
17
Sample of the study
· A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from the sampling
frame. It refers to the technique or the procedure the researcher would adopt
in selecting some sampling units from which inferences about the population
is drawn. Sampling design is determined before any data are actually
collected for obtaining a sample from a given population. The researchers
must decide the way of selecting a sample.
· There are various methods o sampling like systematic sampling, random
sampling, deliberate sampling, mixed sampling, cluster sampling, etc. Among
these methods of sampling researcher has used random sampling so that bias
can be eliminated and sampling error can be estimated. Designing samples
should be made in such a fashion that the samples may yield accurate
information with minimum amount of research effort.
18
· Cross tabulation is the process made with two or more data sources
(variables) that are tabulating the results of one against the other. It is the
process of creating a contingency table from the multivariate frequency
distribution of statistical variables.

5.2 Suggestions
1. Banks must conduct regular customer Surveys and customer meets to assess
the changing needs of customers.
2. Banks should design services and products to suit the underlying dimensions of
quality service, convenient location, low cost and safety
3. With the newly acquired technology, banks should launch various value added
services and new technology driven products blended with the existing ones to
enable the bank to extend a variety of financial services, all under one roof.
4. While the existing products will continue to find takers, the competitive
environment will make it necessary to introduce products by leveraging technology
on a continuous basis to suit customers needs.
7. Facilities for ancillary services like safe custody of articles and Safe deposit
lockers are to be provided at all branches and customers should be made aware
of their availability.
8. Banks should accept the concept of learning organizations where new skills and
knowledge are continuously created, acquired and assimilated and everyone is set
74
on a learning mode. Training programs in banks should not only provide job
knowledge but also inputs in the areas of management, marketing and behavioral
sciences.
5.3 Conclusion
Customers for financial services are changing in terms of their wants,
needs, desires, expectations and problems and financial service providers have to
understand who their customers are, what they prefer, why they buy, who makes
the decision and how the consumer uses the product and service.

research along bank customers and staff in Kerala, the state with highest literacy
and banking habits. It will enable monitoring of customer satisfaction with personal
service and with automated service-delivery methods in order to pinpoint areas
where service quality can be enhanced. Internal marketing will also be challenged
to use technology to more precisely identify and segment markets and prospects
that can be targeted with a special offer.
