What is Alternative Delivery Channel?

Service delivery is a customer-oriented activity. Service delivery activities
are carried out by organizations and are oriented towards meeting
customer needs and expectations. An Alternative Delivery Channel is the
means by which a service is delivered to the clients through an alternative
way other than a traditional delivery or distribution channel.
In case of banking sector whenever a client thinks to have a banking
service first of all he thinks to go to a bank branch. But nowadays banking
service providers establish some new service delivery channels through
which clients can get the same service that they used to get from the
branch of a bank.

Call Center in a nut-shell

Guests in daily life. Technology can be the same for any company but what
differs from BRAC Bank is the service quality that is provided by our
employees. BRAC Bank Call Center promises to ensure that image.
Tale Sales
The vision of tale sales is to ensure the retention of the existing client by
increasing the number of products own by each client. In other terms tale
sales will be working with the objective that a client will own a product
portfolio rather than a single product. It will enable to restrain the
competition from snatching the client away.
Now the advantage that the competitors are taking is that they are offering
an increased benefit on one single attributes of the product like .25%
increased interest rate, time flexibility etc. and taking the clients away as
most of the clients do not any other involvement. But if the clients own a
portfolio it will be difficult for the competitors to offer the entire product
portfolio as they do not have the entire range and at the same time even
they have the entire product line it will be difficult for them to offer an
increased benefit for all the products.
So tale sales would primarily work as a sales channel for the retail banking
division and would deal the existing and upcoming client database. By
devising interactive software information regarding the clientale will be
collected and basing on that information tale sales would initiate the
selling process and would be closed by the direct sales team. As long as the
required software which is named as Business intelligence Tool (B I Tool)
is not ready to be operated information regarding the existing clients
would be generated manually basing on various assumptions with the help
of Business Solution Department. With that information the team would
carry on its operation.
Tale sales will also deal the references created from the existing client and
references provided by the other sources at the same time. It will collect
secondary databases from various organizations. So along with dealing the
existing clients of the bank it will also deal the fresh potential clients.
By definition tale sales means selling other products of the organization to
an existing client i.e. selling a deposit or a loan to client having a CASA
account. But the team would not limit its activity on tale sales only it would
involve itself in up selling also as tale sales is closely associated with up
selling. Up Selling refers to the additional sales of the same product to the
same client
tale sales team of BRAC Bank is first of its kind in the Bangladeshi
banking industry. No other bank so far has introduced the concept of tale
sales as such BRAC Bank did. Though it is a common practice of the
individuals in the entire industry to cross sell but it is neither a team effort
nor backed up the organization of that individual.
Vision
To retain our existing clients by making them enjoying the competitive

benefits of having a product portfolio rather than a single product and
attaching their confidence and emotion to the bank in such an innovative
way which in return will ensure an increase in market share and long term
sustainability of the bank at the same time.
Mission
To ensure the retention of the existing clients and exceed their
expectations, which would require targeting the followings:
Achieve a bench mark of 1:3 client product use ratio
Present a wide array of products to clients in an innovative way
Objectives
To ensure retention of the existing clients

To increase the size of the product portfolio of each client
To grab the untapped business opportunity within the existing
clients
To restrain the competition
To leverage on the effort given by the other value centers and
channels
To increase the market share in terms of FUM
To raise the image of the bank in the mind of the existing and
potential client
Selling Process

Consequently it can easily be concluded; developing the use of alternate
channels is now seen as an important strategy for delivering significant
savings for BRAC Bank Ltd. BBL plans to invest into the development of
alternate banking where efficiency savings can be realized. In the future we
have plans of expanding our services significantly by adapting state of art
technology in order to satisfy the needs of our clients at an optimum level

Parts of ADC
Most broadly defined, Alternative delivery channels are all channels that
allow service delivery without face-to-face communication. Within this
definition, Alternative delivery channels include:
Call Centers;
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems;
Kiosks;
Automated Teller Machines (ATM);
Bills Pay Machine (BPM) / Cash Deposit Machine (CDM)
Point of Sales (POS)
Internet websites;
Simple Message Service (SMS);
Call Center
A call centre is a centralized office used for the purpose of receiving and
transmitting a large volume of requests by talephone.
A call centre is operated by a company to administer incoming product
support or information inquiries from consumers. Outgoing calls for
talemarketing, clientale, and debt collection are also made.
IVR
Interactive Voice Response or IVR is a phone technology that allows a
computer to detect voice and touch tones using a normal phone call. The
IVR system can respond with pre-recorded or dynamically generated audio
to further direct callers on how to proceed. IVR systems can be used to
control almost any function where the interface can be broken down into a
series of simple menu choices. Once constructed IVR systems generally
scale well to handle large call volumes.
NSR
Natural speech recognition provides the unique ability for automated call
systems to really understand what customers are saying. Instead of having
to listen to a long menu of choices, customers can simply say, "I just want
to know my account balance", and speech recognition solution will
immediately deliver the information they want. Natural speech recognition
saves the customer time, and improves overall business efficiency as a
whole.
Kiosk
An kiosk is a computer terminal that provides information access via

electronic methods. Integration of technology allows kiosks to perform a
wide range of functions. A banking kiosk can provide the ability for
customers to perform transactions that may normally require a bank teller.
Such as:
Cheque Deposit
Personal inquiries
Internet Banking
Customer tool support
Marketing tool
MIS reporting
ATM
An automated teller machine or automatic teller machine (ATM) is a
computerised talecommunications device that provides a financial
institution's customers a method of financial transactions in a public space
without the need for a human clerk or bank teller. Using an ATM,
customers can access their bank accounts in order to make cash
withdrawals (or credit card cash advances) and check their account
balances. Many ATM's also allow people to deposit cash or checks, transfer
money between their bank accounts, pay bills, or purchase goods and
services.
Bills Pay Machine (BPM) / Cash Deposit Machine (CDM)
An Bills Pay Machine (BPM) / Cash Deposit Machine (CDM)is a
computerised talecommunications device that provides a financial
institution's customers a method of financial transactions in a public space

without the need for a human clerk or bank teller. Using an BPM / CDM,
customers can deposit their money or cheques and pay utility bills.
Point of Sales (POS)
This can mean a retail shop, a checkout counter in a shop, or a variable
location where a transaction occurs in this type of environment.
Additionally, point of sale sometimes refers to the electronic cash register
system being used in an establishment. Point of sale systems are used in
restaurants, hotels, stadiums, casinos, as well as retail environments in
short, if something can be sold, it can be sold where a point of sale system
is in use.
Internet
The content of the Web site is outside the scope of this discussion,
however, carefully profile the customers that will use this media, and keep
monitoring it. Typically today it will be business users, and the more
sophisticated personal customers. Tailor the services to meet these
segments. Provision of actual transactions requires careful planning and
the security implications are fraught with problems, as with any on line
service, such as the method to be used to positively identify the customer
with enough confidence to execute a financial transaction. However, these
problems are not insurmountable, and among the many methods available
today there are some that are workable without excessive complication of
the user interface.
Banks today are offering on the Internet:
Transaction inquiries
Credit card applications
Statement inquiries
Bill payment
Services directories
Personal finance package interfaces (to Intuit etc.)
and the list is growing daily. One aspect that requires consideration is
whether interfaces to popular financial managers should be provided, or
Web only content.
Simple Message Service (SMS
SMS Banking services are operated using both Push and Pull messages.
Push messages are those that the bank chooses to send out to a customer's
mobile phone, without the customer initiating a request for the
information. Typically push messages could be either Mobile Marketing
messages or messages alerting an event which happens in the customer's
bank account, such as a large withdrawal of funds from the ATM or a large
payment using the customer's credit card, etc. (see section below on
Typical Push and Pull messages).
Pull messages are those that are initiated by the customer, using a mobile
phone, for obtaining information or performing a transaction in the bank
account. Examples of pull messages for information include an account
balance enquiry, or requests for current information like currency
exchange rates and deposit interest rates, as published and updated by the
bank.
The banks customer is empowered with the capability to select the list of
activities (or alerts) that he/she needs to be informed. This functionality to
choose activities can be done either by integrating to the Internet Banking
channel or through the banks customer service call centre.
Why ADC is introduced by BBL?

BRAC Banks developments in alternative delivery channels are relatively
new, reflecting developments in, and the diffusion of, new information and
communications technology. The focus of BRAC Banks channels has, to
date, been mainly on service providing activity. Alternative channels
provide a means for clients to obtain service and information via such
means as:
ATM
CDM
POS
In addition to these available delivery channels, Job center Plus has

conducted a number of service delivery pilots using such channels such as
tale banking, text messaging INTERNET banking.
The main driver of the introduction of alternative channels was, initially,
the desire to widen the range of customer services available. Alternative
channels were seen as a means of adding to the front line services and
complementing face-to-face contact. Now BRAC Bank Ltd. funding
significantly and created a new focus on efficiency and cost saving.
Developing the use of alternative channels is now seen as an important
strategy for delivering significant savings for BRAC Bank Ltd. plans to
invest into the development of alternative channels where efficiency
savings can be realized. So far, the take-up of the current alternative
channels by clients has been low.

OBJECTIVES
To gain understanding of the various ATM services of BRAC Bank.
To gain under standing of how ATM concepts affect day to day
decision in the Bank.
FINDINGS OF THE REPORT

BRAC Bank ATM service is now the fastest service within any
other banks.
CDM service is only one which shows a booth as a branch of BRAC
Bank.
Phone banking provides 24 hours services of the bank.
SMS service provides a customer's instant alert of any transaction
or balance inquiry.
Through a ATM, a customer could get a mini statement of his/her
account without any cost.
RECOMMENDATION
BRAC Bank should ensure faster delivery of ATM Cards. Now it
requires 3-5 days while some competitor could provide it within 2
days.
Its some charges and fees are quite impractical. Relatively high for
the middle and lower middle class.
It is found from my experience in BRAC Bank that a portion of
total customer say that their complains not resolved immediately.
Establishment of a separate customer complains cell may help to
resolve the customers problems.
BRAC Bank should increase their profit rate on different deposit
scheme.
BRAC Bank should reduce the downtime of an ATM.
CONCLUSION
Thus I had the opportunity to work for this reputed Bank. I was placed in
the ATM and CDM service of BRAC Bank, Head Office. During this time
I got an opportunity to observe the overall service process of BRAC Bank
personal banking division.
It is my pleasure to submit my field study report provided by BRAC
Bank. While preparing this report, I have tried to gather as possible & to
gather all the information pertain the report to enrich it. I believe that it
was a fascinating experience to work live in the banking sector & it was
enriched both my knowledge & experience.
