The mentality of the citizens of the Republic.
Distrust of customers to banks, low spread of banking services among the population and the risk of passing the security of financial information by electronic communication channels
The low level of income.
Technical illiteracy of the population.
Lack of proper attention to the promotion of remote services by the bank.
Legal restrictions.
Undeveloped communication infrastructures in the regions.
High cost of implementation of DBS for the bank.
Unavailability of payment recipients, primarily utilities, taking a large number of non-cash payments, often due to lack of appropriate agreements with the banks in these services.
Based on the foregoing we can say that during the current development of information and communication technologies to provide banking products and services with the help of remote communication devices is considered the most perspective direction of development of the banking system. Based on the analysis of the current situation of distant banking services of the country and for
improving the quality of customer services in the remote mode, we can offer the following suggestions (recommendations) to the commercial banks of Uzbekistan:
Suggestions
1. Our country is trying to develop system of plastic card. Nowadays almost all people have this kind of cards. But unfortunately plastic card on the system “Uzkart” cannot be scanned with the devices, which scan “Viza” cards and vice versa. This is also one factor that stops the development of non-cash payment system. Commercial banks of Uzbekistan should create special devices that can scan both plastic cards: system “Uzkart” and “Viza”.
Implement the service «mobile banking» in all banks of the republic, because it is the second promising development direction of the remote service (after the Internet banking). The interface and technology of using should be intuitive to an individual, as not all are IT-specialists: instead of the standard WAP-pages to create a colorful Java-based applications, make settings to work «by default», etc. In order to educate clients banks should begin implementation of SMS-mailing system to customers with ability to simultaneously send a request for information they are interested (the possibility of dialogue with the bank through the SMS-messages). And also on the websites of banks put demo version of
«Mobile Banking».
Territorial expansion, not only in a geographical sense. Not just the opening of offices, expensive and sometimes ineffective, and search the entire complex solutions that come to every potential customer as closely as possible - to his place of work, life and leisure. This is the concept of branchless banking, using all possible channels of communication and equipment, including mobile phone and laptop. This mobile unit of the front office can be a self-service kiosk, ATM cash-in (which in the arsenal of the banks still do not) or even one person, agent, and the experience of insurance companies. A group of insurance agents can offer their customers access to remote services, for example, pay for insurance through internet banking.
Also, to attract clients for remote access by using the terminal with Internet access, and consultants in the branches of banks, shops, cinemas, etc. The consultants will help customers to pay utility bills, cellular, Internet, immediately needs of clients, while showing them that this is very easy and convenient, because only 3 lines should be filled: Name, services` title and the payment amount. By this the confidence of potential customers will increase to the bank and the virtual system.
It is necessary to carry out competent marketing, to attract bright images in advertising, to educate users with positive examples, and not to talk instead about the «advanced technology transfer» and «cryptographically secure financial information transmitted». It is terrible, boring, incomprehensible, and as a result - is not necessary. You cannot just leave the man alone with a web-site or mobile phone –it is needed vibrant and friendly people, who, at any time of day and night come to help the customer and answer all his questions, both by telephone and the Internet, including those in special forums.
To assist the client in the development of Internet banking and other remote services use animations that clearly explain the technology to connect, or transactions, or better yet - animation assistant (as in Microsoft Word Help appears when you call «paperclip-assistant»), which will advise the customers in the form of text and voice instructions.
Another variation of this service - video consultation (similar to video conferencing, when people are in different places, but communicate live via the internet and see each other through a web-camera).
Actively promote the services of DBS for individuals: leaflets in banks, advertising on television, radio, the Internet, through call-center operators and IVR.
And it is needed to advertise, by attracting customers:
focus on low fares and free services (goal - to prove that almost for free, and no different from the branches, but do not need to waste time in queues);
focus partners with which cooperated banks: mobile operators, service
providers, etc. (target - so customers understand that all services can be paid in one place, instead of looking for the terminals of each firm, where can be paid only to its service);
on the reverse side of account statements received by the client from an ATM, place ads, review proposals from the extract (more complete and for any period), using the services of DBS and ending with advertising of opportunities of branchless banking;
create a field on the websites of banks with accounting received daily income of the outstanding contribution of funds (goal - to give the client an opportunity to see the process of incremental capital, which indirectly increase his confidence to the bank).
Expand the range of services offered, such as air and w/e ticket purchases on the Internet, subscription to your favorite media, insurance payments, etc. Or a monthly transfer from the sum of salary to pay off the car, education or mortgage.
On websites of commercial banks, banks should accommodate requests for credit or a plastic card (or replacement for). Client will need to send the necessary documents and photos via your network, email or fax. An envelope with the card and PIN-code can be taken away from the nearest office to the customer (not to stand in a queue) or to receive in the mail.
In order to eliminate the distrust of customers to the new banking services it is needed to establish the legal framework relating to financial services.
Implement sms-service banking in all banks of the republic and provide such services to all holders of plastic cards free of charge. Because by using this service, customers will be able at any time know balance amount on a plastic card and information about the latest transaction. This in turn will facilitate the client's life from the economic side and will help to attract new customers to the bank.
From the foregoing it can be concluded that using of most modern information and communication technologies will allow banks to expand the customer base and helps them win during competition. In the near future, the pace
of development of information technology will grow rapidly. Almost all emerging network technologies will be quickly taken by banks for service. It is inevitable process of integration of banks in national and international banking communities. This will ensure the continuously growth of banking services` quality, from which will benefit in the long term, both - banks and their customers.
