DISADVANTAGES
- Designing own and new financial products is very costly and time consuming for the bank.
- Customers now-a-days prefer net banking to branch banking. The banks that are slow in introducing technology-based products, are finding it difficult to retain the customers who wish to opt for net banking.
- Customers are attracted towards other financial products like mutual funds etc.
- Though banks are investing heavily in technology, they are not able to exploit the same to the full extent.
- A major disadvantage is monitoring and follow up of huge volume of loan accounts inducing banks to spend heavily in human resource department.
- Long term loans like housing loan due to its long repayment term in the absence of proper follow-up, can become NPAs.
- The volume of amount borrowed by a single customer is very low as compared to wholesale banking. This does not allow banks to to exploit the advantage of earning huge profits from single customer as in case of wholesale banking.
