Of all the companies in my area there are many that don’t seem to implement the marketing concept to its fullest potential. Among these companies are Chase Bank, Big Lots, Pulse Yoga and Fitness Studio, and Tecknowlogic. On the other hand are the companies that use the marketing concept to the fullest extent.

They lack in promoting their banking to customers and this is essential to maintain those customers. Chase is unable to show how valuable their company is in their marketing and should take measures to coordinate their efforts accordingly.

The multichannel banking customers connect with the bank through various channels - branch, mobile, online, call centre, ATM. However, the consumers don’t get the same service quality across all channels. Banks recommend their customers to use the channel that is the most cost effective.

In this essay I will be writing about Online Banking, its use, how it evolved, impacts and how it benefited the global businesses. In late 1980s, the term online banking became popular. But in 1990s, the financial institutions implemented the online banking services. Initially it took some time to adopt the customers to do monetary transactions through online banking.
