Banking operation sections

Following are some of the common banking operations sections.

• Retail banking:

This is easily the banking most people will find familiar. Retail banking includes consumer loans, mortgages, normal banking operations like accepting deposits and withdrawal of cash, checking account balance etc. Retail banking usually requires major investments in branch offices, customers service points, ATMs, and similar places.

Most retail banks compete with each other regarding convenience, customer satisfaction, accessibility of services, lower account service charges and similar facilities. Retail banking operations mostly target common customers who generate most business for the bank.

Retail banks also market several services to existing customers by encouraging them to open new accounts, borrow through them, transfer retirement accounts etc.

• Business banking:

The business banking section isn’t much different from consumer or retail banking. Operations still revolve around collecting deposits, extending loans and convincing customers to subscribe to other services.

Business banking customers usually have more sophisticated demands from the bank. They often depend on the bank to assist them in managing payables, receivables and various other treasury functions. Business banking is less demanding regarding branch networks and infrastructure. But they are more competitive in their rates and fees.

• Private banking:

There has been a drop in the number of independent financial institutions that exclusively deal with private banking. It’s mostly conducted as a department of a large bank. Private banking are often known as priority or exclusive banking and are usually offered to wealthy customers and high net-worth individuals, typically with more than a few lakhs to constantly keep in their account.

Besides the usual banking services offered to private banking customers like savings accounts, safe deposit vaults etc., the banks also offer an array of add-on service like estate and tax planning. Not surprisingly, the secrecy in laws of countries like Switzerland, have made them attractive destinations for private banking customers.

• Investment banking:

Ever since the repeal of Glass-Steagall, the law which forced entities to dissociate commercial banking activities from investment banking after the Great Depression in the US, several commercial banks have acquired investment banks. The latter is very different in its operations than commercial banks. Such banks, however, have emerged as a major source of revenue and profits in India and other countries.

Investment banks mostly specialize in underwriting of securities (debt and equity), finding markets for securities, extending advisory services to big corporate clients, and trading their own accounts. Underwriting derivatives may expose investment banks to major risks, as seen in the case of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns in the US during the 2008 depression. The depression had a ripple effect across the world. But India was largely insulated because investment banking was not much developed back then.

Earlier dominated mostly by public sector banks, the banking industry is India has come a long way with many international players entering the sector. The EduCba banking operations training course provides an array of opportunities.

Banking operations though largely remain the same, often undergo some changes from time to time. The introduction of computer systems in banking was a major change.

The banking sector in India is expected to expand further in the coming days and that will fuel the need for more banking operations professionals.
