The next chapter deals with the Company ProfilesChapter 2INTERNET BANKING4 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaThe chapter describes in brief about INTERNETBANKING.Internet:-INTRODUCTION: -There is a sea change in the media world. While most consumerssee the news papers, the same magazines and listen to the sameradio programs, behind this bland public exterior there is aseething world of innovation, acquisition, global partnership anddivorces, births and deaths all of it most readily interpreted asthe inevitable result of the technological revolution that is in theprocess of merging telephones, computers, televisions in to asingle all singing, all dancing magic kit that will, very possible,change all of our lives more than we can imagine some dayThere are 2 ways you can respond to this 1 is to panic, whichmay mean simply curling up in a corner and wishing that itwould all go away. The other is to embrace the new religion withmessianic fervor and go out to proclaim the millennium. Iwelcome you to the new emerging world of the Info-High-Way,destined to redefine the world of communications:5 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaHISTORY: -It is said that necessity is the mother of invention. And true, it isseeds of Internet were sown in the ashes of the world warHaving bombed the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, USmilitary was forced to provide the answer to the question Whatif someone bombed the USA? So for many years after the war,most of the US military research concentrated on ways andmeans to survive the nuclear holocaust. And one of the mostimportant strategic problems was- How would us authoritiescommunicate with each other in the aftermath of a nuclearattack? computers were already there. But, communicationnetworks were connected to each in a private fashion- in sort ofchains: somewhat like an electricity line to your home. Thismeans that if even one chain in the middle were blown up, thewhole network would collapse.Then in the 1960s the problem was taken by Americas foremostmilitary think tank, the Rand Corporation. After a lot of ideaswere put up and knocked down, Paul baron- a rand thinker hitupon an idea. What if the network was not built like a chain butlike a fish net? he said. If one strand on the fish net broke thenet would still be functional. After spending many agonizing6 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of Indiahours over it, he came up with 11-volume report for thepentagon. But, as fate would have it was rejected. By then,young engineers were impressed by the idea and worked on it.Well before the end of the decade, the first net was created andcalled ARPANET, connecting four American researchorganizations- university of Utah, university of California in LosAngeles and Santa Barbara, and Stanford research institute.Internet as a communication medium and as a repository ofinformation has caught the imagination of computer users. Thishas fuelled an unparalleled growth in the number of Internetusers.VARIOUS PARTS OF INTERNET: -The Internet is made up of terminal computers through whichsubscribers access the net; gateways servers which connect theusers to the rest of the network (of computers); servers whichhost information in them; and, the communication network overwhich data actually flows.Internet offers its users a variety of services. The subscribersmay have access to all or any of the following servicesdepending upon the type of connection that one has subscribedfor:7 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of India1) E-Mail2) World Wide Web (WWW)3) File Transfer Protocol (FTP)4) Telnet8 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaThe net banking, thus, now is more of a norm rather than anexception in many developed countries due to the fact that it isthe cheapest way of providing banking services.Internet bankingrefers to the use of the Internet as a remotedelivery channel for banking services. Such services includetraditional ones, such as opening a deposit account ortransferring funds among different accounts, and new bankingservices, such as electronic bill presentment and payment(allowing customers to receive and pay bills on a banks Website). Banks offer Internet banking in two main ways. An existingbank with physical offices can establish a Web site and offerInternet banking to its customers as an addition to its traditionaldelivery channels. A second alternative is to establish a virtual,branchless, or Internet-only bank. The computer server thatlies at the heart of a virtual bank may be housed in an office thatserves as the legal address of such a bank, or at some otherlocation. Virtual banks may offer their customers the ability tomake deposits and withdraw funds via ATMs or other remotedelivery channels owned by other institutions.The impact of E-transaction and authentication issues in banking9 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaIt's hardly great news that there has been tremendous growth inthe use of the Internet and other electronic facilities toprocess financial transactions. According to the FederalDeposit Insurance Corp., transactional Web sites have more thandoubled each year for the past six years, growing from one in1995 to nearly 2,500 in 2000.This growth is a reflection of the fact that over the past fewyears, financial leaders have been considering various ways inwhich to allow their customers to transact business using theInternet. This objective is now reaching beyond the financialservices industry into non-electronic business segments, such asthe building supply industry. Furthermore, this growth is likely tocontinue to climb as the number of Internet users, Internetconnection speed, and the number of transactional Web sitescontinues to increase. The number of adults using PC banking isalso growing. With this growth, there is an increased awarenessof the benefits of using online transaction processing, therebyfueling the thought that all business should be electronicallyfacilitated.10 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaGartner predicts that worldwide business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce will total $3.6 trillion by 2003 and $8.5 trillion in2005. Online financial activity had a slower start, but has hadsteady growth, from 6 million users in 1998 to 27.5 million usersin 2000. During 2000, only 30 percent of the Internet-capablehouseholds were using some form of Internet banking, indicatingthat there is tremendous room for increased use.The e-Commerce Value ChainConsider that the consumer and the merchant are on either endsof the electronic commerce value chain, with the authenticationnetwork and transaction processor (bank) in the middle. Bankshave traditionally been the trusted agents, have the largestcustomer base, and have received the initial benefits fromelectronic commerce. Value has begun a steady migration to theends of the value chain. Customers can receive and pay billsfrom one point using products from multiple issuers. Merchantscan influence and enhance the consumer experience by providinginnovative and time-saving means of doing business. Merchantscan add value to the payment process, for example, by offeringdiscounted prices for electronic payment.11 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaMerchants can also reduce their costs by receiving electronicpayments, which results in reducing and sometimes eliminatingthe need for data entry, as well as reducing the error rate and thetime to investigate and correct the data. By increasing andeffectively managing cash flow, merchants may also be able toreduce costs associated with lines of credit.12 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaDigital SignaturesOn October 1, 2000, the Electronic Signatures in National andGlobal Commerce Act was signed. This act states that anagreement, contract, or transaction signed electronically isenforceable in a court of law. Accordingly, financial servicesinstitutions can now legally transact business using electronicsignatures, allowing transactions such as mortgages, fundstransfers, opening and closing of accounts, benefits enrollment,and beneficiary designations to occur in an electronicenvironment.13 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaThe law defines an electronic signature as "an electronic sound,symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with acontract or other record and executed or adopted by a person withthe intent to sign the record." Fortunately, the legislation does notattempt to define acceptable technologies except to indicate thatthe technologies must be mutually acceptable to the transactingparties. Since a valid signature can be as simple as a digitalimage of a signature (enabled through an electronic pen and pad)or as complex as today's public key infrastructure (PKI) andassociated encryption methods, the technology decision makermust define relevant business objectives and understand therisks, such as cost and unauthorized use associated withalternative implementations.There are possible additional benefits to the implementingorganization. These include reduced transaction timelines,reduction in paper processing costs, facilitation of customermigration to the Internet as a business channel, and increasedonline transaction security.14 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaWhen compared to physical signatures, e-signature technologiesare, in general, a more secure authentication method. Manyfinancial institutions are studying the possible implementation ofa public key infrastructure (PKI) system that will allow them toexchange electronic information securely with unknown parties.PKI is the delivery channel for public key cryptography, amethod that allows the parties to a transaction to keep acommunication private through the use of a two-part key madeup of public and private components. To encrypt messages, thepublished public keys of the recipients are used. To decrypt themessages, the recipients use their unpublished private keys,known only to them. Quite simply, if the signer's private key isnot compromised, which can happen by releasing the passwordor allowing access to the device containing the private key, adocument cannot be digitally signed15 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaWhat Is Internet Banking?16 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaInternet Banking System is a system that has been developed inorder to help clients with the daily day-to-day transactions.Internet banking systems means that clients can now do bankingat the leisure of their homes.Also known as online banking, the system allows bothtransactional and non-transactional features.Online banking or internet banking allows customers to conductfinancial transactions on a secure website operated by the retailor virtual bankHistory17 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaThe term online banking was first started in 80s. The termonline became popular in the late '80s and referred to the use of aterminal, keyboard and TV (or monitor) to access the bankingsystem using a phone line. Home banking can also refer to theuse of a numeric keypad to send tones down a phone line withinstructions to the bank. Online services started in New York in1981 when four of the citys major banks(,CitibankChase,and)offered homeManhattanChemicalManufacturers Hanoverbanking services using thesystem. Because of thevideotextcommercial failure of videotex these banking services neverbecame popular except in France where the use of videotex() was subsidized by the telecom provider and the UK,Minitelwhere thesystem was used.Prestel18 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaThe UKs first home online banking services was set up by the(NBS) in 1983 .The system used wasNottingham Building Societybased on the UK'ssystem and used a computer,such asPrestelthe, or keyboard (Tandata Td1400) connected to theBBC Microtelephone system and television set. The system (known as'Home link') allowed on-line viewing of statements, banktransfers and bill payments. In order to make bank transfers andbill payments, a written instruction giving details of the intendedrecipient had to be sent to the NBS who set the details up on theHome link system. Typical recipients were gas, electricity andtelephone companies and accounts with other banks. Details ofpayments to be made were input into the NBS system by theaccount holder via Prestel. A cheque was then sent by NBS to thepayee and an advice giving details of the payment was sent tothe account holder.was later used to transfer the paymentBACSdirectly.Stanford Federal Credit Union was the first financial institutionto offer online internet banking services to all of its members inOct, 1994. Later on it was adopted by worldwide banks19 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaChapter 3Company ProfileThe chapter describes the Company profile of State Bank Of India which was takenfor the study of project.State bank of India:-20 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaState bank of India is the nations largest and oldest bank.Tracing its roots back some 200 years to the British East IndiaCompany (and initially established as the Bank of Calcutta in1806), the bank operates more than 15,000 branches withinIndia, where it also owns majority stakes in six associate banks.State Bank of India (SBI) has more than 80 offices in nearly 35other countries, including multiple locations in the US, Canada,and Nigeria. The bank has other units devoted to capital markets,fund management, factoring and commercial services, creditcards, and brokerage services.

The government-controlled bank--the Indian governmentmaintains a stake of nearly 60 percent in SBI through the centralReserve Bank of India--also operates the world's largest branchnetwork, with more than 13,500 branch offices throughout India,staffed by nearly 220,000 employees. SBI is also presentworldwide, with seven international subsidiaries in the UnitedStates, Canada, Nepal, Bhutan, Nigeria, Mauritius, and theUnited Kingdom, and more than 50 branch offices in 30countries. Long an arm of the Indian government's infrastructure,agricultural, and industrial development policies, SBI has beenforced to revamp its operations since competition was introducedinto the country's commercial banking system. As part of thateffort, SBI has been rolling out its own network of automatedteller machines, as well as developing anytime-anywherebanking services through Internet and other technologies. SBIalso has taken advantage of the deregulation of the Indianbanking sector to enter the, assets management, and securitiesbrokering sectors. In addition, SBI has been working on reigningin its branch network, reducing its payroll, and strengthening itsloan portfolio. In 2003, SBI reported revenue of $10.36 billionand total assets of $104.81 billion.24 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaThe establishment of the British colonial government in Indiabrought with it calls for the formation of a Western-style bankingsystem, if only to serve the needs and interests of the Britishimperial government and of the European trading houses doingbusiness there. The creation of a national banking system beganat the beginning of the 19th century.The first component of what was later to become the State Bankof India was created in 1806, in Calcutta. Called the Bank ofCalcutta, it was also the country's first joint stock company.Originally established to serve the city's interests, the bank wasgranted a charter to serve all of Bengal in 1809, becoming theBank of Bengal. The introduction of Western-style bankinginstituted deposit savings accounts and, in some cases,investment services. The Bank of Bengal also received the rightto issue its own notes, which became legal currency within theBengali region. This right enabled the bank to establish a solidfinancial foundation, building an interest-free capital base.25 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaThe spread of colonial influence also extended the scope ofgovernment and commercial financial influence. Toward themiddle of the century, the imperial government created two moreregional banks. The Bank of Bombay was created in 1840, andwas soon joined by the Bank of Madras in 1843. Together withthe Bank of Bengal, they became known as the "presidency"banks.All three banks were operated as joint stock companies, with theimperial government holding a one-fifth share of each bank. Theremaining shares were sold to private subscribers and, typically,were claimed by the Western European trading firms. Thesefirms were represented on each bank's board of directors, whichwas presided over by a nominee from the government. While thebanks performed typical banking functions, for the Western firmsand population and members of Indian society, their main rolewas to act as a lever for raising loan capital, as well as helpstabilize government securities.26 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaThe charters backing the establishment of the presidency banksgranted them the right to establish branch offices. Into thesecond half of the century, however, the banks remained single-office concerns. It was only after the passage of the PaperCurrency Act in 1861 that the banks began their first expansioneffort. That legislation had taken away the presidency banks'authority to issue currency, instead placing the issuing of papercurrency under direct control of the British government in India,starting in 1862.Yet that same legislation included two key features thatstimulated the growth of a national banking network. On the onehand, the presidency banks were given the responsibility for thenew currency's management and circulation. On the other, thegovernment agreed to transfer treasury capital backing thecurrency to the banks--and especially to their branch offices.This latter feature encouraged the three banks to begin buildingthe country's first banking network. The three banks thenlaunched an expansion effort, establishing a system of branchoffices, agencies, and sub-agencies throughout the mostpopulated regions of the Indian coast, and into the inland areasas well. By the end of the 1870s, the three presidency banksoperated nearly 50 branches among them.27 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaThe rapid growth of the presidency banks came to an abrupt haltin 1876, when a new piece of legislation, the Presidency BanksAct, placed all three banks under a common charter--and acommon set of restrictions. As part of the legislation, the Britishimperial government gave up its ownership stakes in the banks,although they continued to provide a number of services to thegovernment, and retained some of the government's treasurycapital. The majority of that, however, was transferred to thethree newly created Reserve Treasuries, located in Calcutta,Bombay, and Madras. The Reserve Treasuries continued to lendcapital to the presidency banks, but on a more restrictive basis.The minimum balance now guaranteed under the PresidencyBanks Act was applicable only to the banks' central offices. Withbranch offices no longer guaranteed a minimum balance backedby government funds, the banks ended development of theirnetworks. Only the Bank of Madras continued to grow for sometime, supplied as it was by the influx of capital fromdevelopment of trade among the region's port cities.28 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaThe loss of the government-backed balances was sooncompensated by India's rapid economic development at the endof the 19th century. The building of a national railroad networklaunched the country into a new era, seeing the rise of cash-cropfarming, a mining industry, and widespread industrialdevelopment. The three presidency banks took active roles infinancing this development. The banks also extended their rangeof services and operations, although for the time being wasexcluded from the foreign exchange market.By the beginning of the 20th century, India's banking industryboasted a host of new arrivals, and particularly foreign banksauthorized to exchange currency. The growth of the bankingsector, and the development of indigenous banks, in turn createda need for a larger "bankers' bank." At the same time, the Indiangovernment had outgrown its colonial background and nowrequired a more centralized banking institution. These factors ledto the decision to merge the three presidency banks into a new,single and centralized banking institution, the Imperial Bank ofIndia.29 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaCreated in 1921, the Imperial Bank of India appeared toinaugurate a new era in India's history--culminating in itsdeclaration of independence from the British Empire. TheImperial Bank took on the role of central bank for the Indiangovernment, while acting as a bankers' bank for the growingIndian banking sector. At the same time, the Imperial Bank,which, despite its role in the government financial structureremained independent of the government, carried on its owncommercial banking operations.In 1926, a government commission recommended the creation ofa true central bank. While some proposed converting theImperial Bank into a central banking organization for thecountry, the commission rejected this idea and insteadrecommended that the Imperial Bank be transformed into apurely commercial banking institution. The government took upthe commission's recommendations, drafting a new bill in 1927.Passage of the new legislation did not occur until 1935, however,with the creation of the Reserve Bank of India. That bank tookover all central banking functions.30 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaThe Imperial Bank then converted to full commercial status,which accordingly allowed it to enter a number of banking areas,such as currency exchange and trustee and estate management,from which it had previously been restricted. Despite the loss ofits role as a government banking office, the Imperial Bankcontinued to provide banking services to the Reserve Bank,particularly in areas where the Reserve Bank had not yetestablished offices. At the same time, the Imperial Bank retainedits position as a bankers' bank.By then, India had achieved its independence from Britain. In1951, the new government launched its first Five Year Plan,targeting in particular the development of the country's ruralareas. The lack of a banking infrastructure in these regions ledthe government to develop a state-owned banking entity to fillthe gap. As part of that process, the Imperial Bank wasnationalized and then integrated with other existing government-owned banking components. The result was the creation of theState Bank of India, or SBI, in 1955.31 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaThe new state-owned bank now controlled more than one-fourthof India's total banking industry. That position was expanded atthe end of the decade, when new legislation was passedproviding for the takeover by the State Bank of eight regionallybased, government-controlled banks. As such the Banks ofBikaner, Jaipur, Indore, Mysore, Patiala, Hyderabad, Saurashtra,and Travancore became subsidiaries of the State Bank.Following the 1963 merger of the Bikaner and Jaipur banks,their seven remaining subsidiaries were converted into associatebanks.In the early 1960s, the State Bank's network already containednearly 500 branches and sub-offices, as well as the three originalhead offices inherited from the presidency bank era. Yet the StateBank now began an era of expansion, acting as a motor forIndia's industrial and agricultural development that was totransform it into one of the world's largest financial networks.Indeed, by the early 1990s, the State Bank counted nearly 15,000branches and offices throughout India, giving it the world'ssingle largest branch network.32 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaSBI played an extremely important role in developing India'srural regions, providing the financing needed to modernize thecountry's agricultural industry and develop new irrigationmethods and cattle breeding techniques, and backing the creationof dairy farming, as well as pork and poultry industries. Thebank also provided backing for the development of the country'sinfrastructure, particularly on a local level, where it providedcredit coverage and development assistance to villages. Thenationalization of the banking sector itself, an event thatoccurred in 1969 under the government led by Indira Gandhi,gave SBI new prominence as the country's leading bank.33 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaEven as it played a primary role in the Indian government'sindustrial and agricultural development policies, SBI continuedto develop its commercial banking operations. In 1972, forexample, the bank began offering merchant banking services. Bythe mid-1980s, the bank's merchant banking operations hadgrown sufficiently to support the creation of a dedicatedsubsidiary, SBI Capital Markets, in 1986. The following year, thecompany launched another subsidiary, SBI Home Finance, incollaboration with the Housing Development FinanceCorporation. Then in the early 1990s, SBI added subsidiariesSBI Factors and Commercial Services, and then launchedinstitutional investor services.34 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaSBI was allowed to dominate the Indian banking sector for morethan two decades. In the early 1990s, the Indian governmentkicked off a series of reforms aimed at deregulating the bankingand financial industries. SBI was now forced to brace itself forthe arrival of a new wave of competitors eager to enter the fast-growing Indian economy's commercial banking sector. Yet yearsas a government-run institution had left SBI bloated--the civil-servant status of its employees had encouraged its payroll toswell to more than 230,000. The bureaucratic nature of thebank's management left little room for personal initiative, norincentive for controlling costs.In 1994, the bank hired consulting group McKinsey & Co. tohelp it restructure its operations. McKinsey then led SBI througha massive restructuring effort that lasted through much of thedecade and into the beginning of the next, an effort that helpedSBI develop a new corporate culture focused more onprofitability than on social and political policy. SBI also steppedup its international trade operations, such as foreign exchangetrading, as well as corporate finance, export credit, andinternational banking.35 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaSBI had long been present overseas, operating some 50 offices in34 countries, including full-fledged subsidiaries in the UnitedKingdom, the United States, and elsewhere. In 1995 the bank setup a new subsidiary, SBI Commercial and International BankLtd., to back its corporate and international banking services.The bank also extended its international network into newmarkets such as Russia, China, and South Africa.Back home, in the meantime, SBI began addressing thetechnology gap that existed between it and its foreign-backedcompetitors. Into the 1990s, SBI had yet to establish anautomated teller network; indeed, it had not even automated itsinformation systems. SBI responded by launching an ambitioustechnology drive, rolling out its own ATM network, then teamingup with GE Capital to issue its own credit card. In the early2000s, the bank began cross-linking its banking network with itsATM network and Internet and telephone access, rolling out"anytime, anywhere" banking access. By 2002, the bank hadsucceeded in networking its 3,000 most profitable branches.36 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaThe implementation of new technology helped the bank achievestrong profit gains into the early years of the new century. SBIalso adopted new human resources and retirement policies,helping trim its payroll by some 20,000, almost entirely throughvoluntary retirement in a country where joblessness remained adecided problem.By the beginning of 2004, SBI appeared to be well on its way tomeeting the challenges offered by the deregulated Indianbanking sector. In a twist, the bank had become an aggressor intonew territories, launching its own line of banc assuranceproducts, and also initiating securities brokering services. In themeantime, SBI continued its technology rollout, boosting thenumber of networked branches to more than 4,000 at the end of2003. SBI promised to remain a central figure in the Indianbanking sector as it entered its third century.Key Dates:1806: The Bank of Calcutta is established as the first Western-type bank.1809: The bank receives a charter from the imperial governmentand changes its name to Bank of Bengal.37 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of India1840: A sister bank, Bank of Bombay, is formed.1843: Another sister bank is formed: Bank of Madras, which,together with Bank of Bengal and Bank of Bombay becomeknown as the presidency banks, which had the right to issuecurrency in their regions.1861: The Presidency Banks Act takes away currency issuingprivileges but offers incentives to begin rapid expansion, and thethree banks open nearly 50 branches among them by the mid-1870s.1876: The creation of Central Treasuries ends the expansionphase of the presidency banks.1921: The presidency banks are merged to form a single entity,Imperial Bank of India.1955: The nationalization of Imperial Bank of India results inthe formation of the State Bank of India, which then becomes aprimary factor behind the country's industrial, agricultural, andrural development.1969: The Indian government establishes a monopoly over thebanking sector.1972: SBI begins offering merchant banking services.1986: SBI Capital Markets is created.38 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of India1995: SBI Commercial and International Bank Ltd. arelaunched as part of SBI's stepped-up international bankingoperations.1998: SBI launches credit cards in partnership with GE Capital.2002: SBI networks 3,000 branches in a massive technologyimplementation.2004: A networking effort reaches 4,000 branches.39 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaChapter IVInternet banking at State Bank of IndiaThe chapter describes the facts about working of internetbanking in state bank of India.Where SBI was?In early 1990s more than 7000 branches were usingtraditional manual procedures.These manual procedures were inherited from the ImperialBank.Traditional procedures were evolved over decadesVery few changes were brought in those procedures as perthe need of time.40 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaIn that time, mainframe or mini computers were used forMIS, RECONCILLATION & FUND SETTLEMENTPROCESS, or we can say that for backhand operationspurpose.Changes brought in Information Technology by SBI:-In the next decade internet facility was provided forindividualsAll SBI branches were connected and ATMS were launch2001 - KMPG appointed consultant for preparing IT Planfor the Bank.Later on Core banking proposed by the IT consultancycompany.2002 All branches computerized but on decentralizedsystems, there the initiative of core banking took place2008- more than 6500 branches (95% of business) on CoreBanking Solution (CBS)41 Internet Banking OfState Bank Of IndiaInternet Banking facility for Corporate customers were alsolaunched in early 2008More Interfaces developed with e-Commerce & other sitesthrough alternate channels like ATM & Online BankingAll Foreign Offices were brought on Centralized SolutionLarge network is playing the role of backbone forconnectivity across the countryMultiple Service Providers are providing the links BSNL,MTNL, Reliance, Tata & reliance which are making thesystem errorless and provide high speed.Multiple Technologies to support the networkinginfrastructure Leased lines, Dial-up, CDMA & VSATCBS - Core Banking System Components42
