Banks are very important financial services sector, and in banking sector there is an intense competition amongst the local and foreign banks throughout the world. The objective of this research is to analyse the effects of perceived value and customer trust, and role of technology in banking service qualities and customers’ satisfaction in Pakistani context. For this purpose we employed modified SERVQUAL model with four dimensions such as empathy, competence, reliability, and online service. An adapted questionnaire was used to carry out this survey research, and collected 830 responses from the customers of Pakistani banking industry. We used factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and bootstrapping methods to carry out this research. The results of the study demonstrated that our four-dimensional model of modified SERVQUAL has a significant impact on overall customer satisfaction. It is further concluded from the bootstrapping method that modified SERVQUAL dimensions and customer satisfaction are positively mediated by the perceived value and trust. Finally, it is also concluded that the implementation of technology serves as moderating variable in the banking sector. The outcomes of this research are beneficial to the senior management of banking sector in order to implement the effective and customised online banking structure to gain competitive advantages, and provide vibrant online banking services that enhance the standard and ease of services to the customers and earn their confidence. The originality and novelty of this research provide a significant contribution in the application of SERVQUAL model specifically for the banking service quality dimensions and customer satisfaction in marketing research.


Subject Outlook for the banking sector. Significance The two-year recession has made Brazil’s public- and private-sector banks increasingly risk-averse in their lending to households and companies. This is likely to persist in 2017, owing to a very uncertain and fragile economic recovery, high unemployment and elevated levels of private-sector debt. Impacts Less-aggressive lending by national state banks will help public finances and give private banks a chance to increase market share. Spanish Santander will be the only foreign bank capable of competing in Brazil’s retail banking segment in the coming years. Other foreign banks lacking the necessary scale for profitable retail banking will focus on other niches.


Subject Banking sector prospects. Significance Private sector banks in Ecuador enjoyed strong double-digit loan growth last year -- a reflection of the troubled economy’s gradual emergence from recession. That economic recovery, and the pragmatic willingness of President Lenin Moreno to work with the private sector, is generating optimism regarding the prospects of the country’s banking sector. Impacts Strong bank lending is key for economic recovery, allowing firms to increase investments and consumers to spend more. Taking the E-money system from the central bank shows Moreno’s pragmatism vis-a-vis the private sector. The planned sale of state-owned lender Banco del Pacifico could attract the interest of foreign banks.

Purpose The level of non-performing assets (NPAs) best indicates the soundness of the banking sector of a country. The purpose of this study is an effort to look into the contribution of the different banks individually to the NPA in the industry by looking into its growth pattern during the period 2010-2017. Further, the study is made to look into the effect of different groups of banks, namely, State Bank of India (SBI) and its associates, nationalised banks and private sector banks on the banking industry in this regard. Design/methodology/approach The individual private sector banks, nationalised banks and SBI and its associates have been considered for the purpose of the study. The analysis is based on secondary data collected from the Reserve Bank of India website for the period 2010-2017. The geometric mean has been used as a statistical tool for arriving at the mean growth rate of gross NPAs. Further, refinement of the result is done by comparing the growth of gross NPAs of individual banks with that of the average growth rate. Findings The assessment of private sector banks reveals that the growth rate of NPAs is low as compared to the nationalised banks, as well as the SBI and its associates. The nationalised banks and the associate banks of SBI failed to handle the issue of poor loans effectively due to which the growth in such loans has been phenomenally high. Originality/value The research is interesting as the study period follows the financial crisis. There is no such previous study that has looked at the perspective of banking from this angle. The research is valuable from two angles. Firstly, it brings to light the situation of the different categories of banks with regard to NPAs. Secondly, the information can be useful for investors as the issue of poor loans is a relevant one for them because it has an impact on the profitability of banks and thereby the future prospects.

The study identifies and analyses the sociological implications of workers’ retrenchment in the banking industry on Nigeria’s economic growth using selected commercial banks in Uyo as reference. The paper argues that banking reforms in terms of rationalization, capitalization and merger have negative effects on economic growth (rather than enhancing the development) of any country. Data were gathered from selected commercial banks in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria through the use of questionnaires and from secondary sources such as statistical publications and other relevant materials. Findings show that retrenchment of workers in the banking industry instead of promoting growth resulted in loss of depositors’ confidence in the banking sector which also brought about loss of funds in the banking system and therefore stunt economic growth. The study recommends that training and retraining of workers should be given priority attention in the industry to improve their capacity for new demands.

Objectives- The purpose of this research is to find out the barriers to customer retention in banking sector of Pakistan. This paper aims to enhance the understanding about the barriers that influence the customer retention in banking organizations. Methodology – A qualitative mathematical based technique called interpretive structural modeling (ISM) is employed to identify the barriers and to understand interaction and mutual relationships among them. Findings – Seven barriers to customer retention are identified through extensive literature review and subsequent opinions of experts from banking industry and academia. Contextual relationships have been established and ISM based model is developed to represent the mutual interaction among diagnosed barriers. The matrix cross-reference multiplication applied to a classification (MICMAC) analysis has also been carried out to classify the nature of barriers according to their dependence and driving power. Practical Implications – The adoption of ISM based hierarchical model in this study would help in understanding the barriers and provide useful insights to top managers and policymakers of banking sector who want to focus and minimize these barriers in order to retain their customers for a longer time period.
