Marketing strategies
? Financial inclusion & Rural – Microfinance

–In the quest for new markets and customer segments, as well as with the RBI directives in this area, UBI is looking at the rural and unbanked segments in a new light as a huge business opportunity.
? Technological innovations & challenges

– UBI aggressively adopting the latest technology in order to improve product offerings, customer service, operational efficiency and risk management systems.

? Consolidation –The process of consolidation in India aims at ironing out these deficiencies. – UBI is looking forward for consolidation.

? Financing rapid industrial growth

–With the Indian economy growing at a blistering pace on the
back of strong industrial and services growth, the Indian banks are looking to build up capacity to meet future demand. –UBI contributing a pivotal role in financing this industrial growth.

Some more points to be discuss….
? Depend on available fund- leads to fluctuating

rate of interest. ? Changing rate of interest-different response from customer directly to manager or employees. ? Being small and growing bank-high expectation of customer. ? Trying to do more promotion through Brand sponsorship.

Contd….
? Trying to increase the manpower and improving

infrastructure to compete specially SBI, AXIS, HDFC bank, Bank of Baroda etc. ? Opening many branches with ATM within few years. ? Trying to serve maximum facilities to their customers to retain them. ? They have not such specific Strategies to retain customers.

SUGGESTIONS:
? UBI and BOB has less number of branches in Rural areas. ? More ATM’s should be installed in Rural areas and in Urban

areas. ? Technological innovation ? Pricing strategies ? More new products and services in competitive market. ? Attractive Deposit rate and Interest rate. ? Infrastructure improvement ? More no. of Manpower ? Aggressive selling strategies ? Recruitment of Salesperson. ? More promotion in rural as well as in urban areas
