One more public sector banks, has
joined the eLounge bandwagon. The latest public sector bank is Canara Bank.
Like all other PSB’s the eLounge is targeted
at Metro customers only. Somewhere Indian Bankers think that only the Metro
customers are only interested for eLounge facilities, and there is no demand in
Semi-Urban, Tier I and Tier II cities.
Banks would be surprised at the
latent demand in non-metro cities. In metro cities, majority of the bank
customers have access to secure computer access, through which they prefer to
carry out their banking needs via the Banks net modules.
Canara Bank’s e-Lounge is one stop facility targeted at
corporate, IT and business professionals depending on their needs.
Like other eLounges, Canara Bank eLounge
also offers similar services viz
01)
Services
of ATM,
02)cash deposit kiosk,
03)check deposit kiosk,
04) pass book update,
05)internet banking terminal,
06)online trading terminal,
07)corporate web site terminal to offer latest
information of bank’s services.
The
first e-Lounge facility will be inaugurated by bank’s Chairman and Managing
Director R K Dubey, at Koramangala Branch, Bangalore.
Yes, even in Metros if the facility
is properly publicized, there is a fair chance that Bank Customers would make
use of the varied facilities. Otherwise, it will be just another revenue
guzzler.
