Think different!
• No branch• No ATM• No cheque books
![Page 9: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

The Orange Code: Rebel with a cause
• ING Bank entered USA in 2000• Under Arkadi Kuhlmann ING Direct’s simple
mantra was ‘save your money• Modelled as pure online bank; no brick and
mortar• 7.7 million customers accounts• As of March 2011 managed EUR 57 billion
funds and EUR 29 billion in own originated mortgages
• Sold in 2011 to Capital One for USD 9 billion

‘We the savers’ campaign
Money doesn’t grow on fees!
![Page 11: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Finding the gaps
• Why should customers pay all kinds of fees?
• Is it too much to expect a real person to pick up the phone when you dial a toll free number?
• Should you have to jump through hoops to keep your personal information being sold to others?
• The McDonald way; simple straightforward product– Southwest flew airplanes without assigned
seats– Ikea sold design-minded furniture without
assembling it--so why not do that with banks?
![Page 12: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Credit Card success
• Started in 1988• Pioneers in ‘teaser rate’ and ‘balance
transfer option’• Power of information, technology and
testing and highly customized products
![Page 13: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Reasons for success
• For every action taken they capture the reaction
• Commitment to endless innovation• Intelligent call routing• Sell at every opportunity
![Page 14: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Esurance.com
• Competing against Goliaths like GEICO and Progressive
• Completely online sales model• Appealed to Gen Y who like to do things
online• No face to face interaction• Convenience, customer service and
best rates were reasons for success• Sold to Allstate for a Billion Dollars
![Page 15: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Redefining Existing Channels
• Turning branches into hangouts– Children play area– Yoga classes, ‘movie nights’, wifi internet access– Plasma screens instead of posters– Three dimensional ‘mortgage centers’– Staffers serve coffee while selling products– Open architecture, warm trustworthy atmosphere
• Encourage people to stay longer• Find ways to sell other products• Encourage people to consider branch as some
place to visit more often
![Page 16: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

The fine art of finance
• ING branch displays art for HNI customers• Customers can appreciate art while they
bank• Globally more than 15000 artworks
displayed in 900 branches– Gallery open beyond bank timings– Senior artists conduct classes– Not just for investing in art but to create
awareness

Gold Loans: Runaway success
•Manappuram – Revenues 19 crs to 500 crs in 2010 (five years)– Profits from 3 crs to 120 crs– AUM of more than 10000 crs– More than 2500 branches; available next door– 12 lacs customer base– More than 18000 tonnes of gold – Very low default rate
![Page 20: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Success decoded
• No credit check required for taking loan• Rates significantly lower than local
pawnbroker• Loan terms are flexible• Gold has emotional value
– Customer willing to pay interest on loan rather than sell the gold!
Win-win for both lender and borrower

Reason for Not Purchasing Insurance Online
The single largest reason for not purchasing Insurance Online is Consumers across countries still prefer “Human Contact” when purchasing Insurance…. Source: David Parry. The Future of European Insurance, available

Case Study 1
C.T Financial:
Personal Lending&
Understanding the ROLE OF DISTRIBUTION
![Page 30: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

CT Financial
BEFORE• ‘Aveco’ started as a sub prime
lender. • Offered loans at high rates
– But USP was quick turnaround• Internal controls were tight
– First cheque bounce would lead to invoking repossession of vehicles
– Any default was managed very tightly
– All collections were outsourced but managed well
AFTER•MNC Bank buys Aveco and renamed CT Financial•Branches increased from 83 to 430 in less than 2 years
• Opened a branch a day• Rapid hiring• Experience v/s
responsibility mismatch• Reference check for
employee hiring compromised
•High incentives for top line
![Page 31: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
The result
• Rapid increase in NPAs• Networth zero: lost 1400 crs• Made some turnaround in 2009; stopped
lending in 2010; reduced branches to 70• Trying to sell; no buyer till date!
![Page 32: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Domino effect
• Seeing apparent success of CT Financial, many players like Barclays, Fullerton expanded rapidly
• They all were not successful• Only successful player has been HDFC
Bank
![Page 33: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Learning
• The cornerstone of Personal Lending is Distribution coupled with Neighbourhood Lending
• Distribution should take you closer to customer
• Relationship and customer service is critical
• ‘Know your customer’ is non negotiable• Incentives need to be carefully designed
![Page 34: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

CASE STUDY 2
D.E Capital:
Truck Financing&
The Importance of being GLOCAL
![Page 35: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
D.E Capital
• A global MNC, D.E Capital stuck on credit parameters!!
• One of the world’s largest financial services companies
• Believes in credit mechanism
• Would not create an India centric credit policy
We work in more than 90 countries!
• Bought out Jaishriram Finance, one of the leading truck finance companies in India
• Established their credit norms on day one
• Believed that Jaishriram team was not ‘managing risks’ as per their global philosophy
• Comparisons with Sundaram Finance or Shriram Transport were trashed
We can buy them out!
![Page 36: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Truck finance customer
• Is a known entity; rather NOT an unknown!
• Very easy to check credentials– But very poor documentary
evidence available for credit evaluation
• Many trucks are owner driven; thus owner is often on the move and not ‘available’ to meet
![Page 37: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Local practices; Global view
Local Practices– Credit check was
through references and field visits
– NPA needs to be seen in context of customer’s situation
– Word of mouth in this business is critical
– Relationship is more important than process!
D.E Capital’s View– Credit needs to be
supported by documentary evidence
– Default can damage credit rating globally
– Offer the lowest lending rates
– Process is prime; relationship will follow
![Page 38: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Local practices; Global view
•Did not realize that – Recovery of asset (repossession) is easy
as customer cannot keep asset idle• He has to be on the highway!
– Customer needs to build a good track record if he needs to expand• Cannot afford to default
– Word of mouth in this business is critical
![Page 39: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Local Practices
• Sundaram Finance– Built business on good relationships; managers
know the client and his family well– Built business on conservative but consistent
credit policies
• Sriram Transport Finance– Higher rates of interest but quick approvals– Very strong collection mechanism– Used repossessed Trucks to build second hand
finance business; backward integration
![Page 40: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
D.E Capital’s fallout
• Continued losing top customers due to insistence on credit process and rigid documentation
• Was unable to adopt local credit practises– No one willing to battle global hierarchy!
• Exited the business after 8 years of acquisition
![Page 41: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Learning
• Marry global processes with local realities– Look at family credit rather than individual credit– Look for references from existing customers– Bank statement may be more useful than IT
returns
• Direct sales is key– High employee cost compensated by lower NPAs
GLOCAL is the way to go
![Page 42: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Social
![Page 43: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
Disruptive factors
• SocialThe emergence of Banca Takaful was a prime
reason for success of Insurance companies in Islamic countries
Widespread mis-selling lead to the death of the traditional Insurance agent in UK. Only brokers and banks survive
The American belief in Individual advisor continues
![Page 44: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
Disruptive factors
• Technology– Internet leads to Disintermediation– Web created a new type of intermediary: The
web broker/ aggregator/ comparator– Technology enables banker and customer to
interact as and when required– Opens new avenues for customer satisfaction
![Page 45: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Disruptive factors
• Regulatory The Glass Stegall Act prevented the evolution
of Bancassurance upto 1999 in USAContrary to USA, Bancassurance flourished in
certain European countries like SpainThe recent changes by SEBI are a serious
threat to distribution of Mutual Funds through brokers and advisors
Korea encouraged payments through electronic means leading to huge credit card penetration giving tax concessions
![Page 46: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Buyer behaviour..
• Always looking for returns• The immense popularity of ULIPs• Why whole life does not sell much
• Housing scams, ponzi schems….many such examples of the buyer falling for the trap
![Page 47: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Buyer behaviour..
• ‘Sabji ke saath dhaniya’ mindset• ‘Towel ke saath hanuman chalisa free!!
![Page 48: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
Buyer Behaviour..KILB!
• We hate to quantify risk• Social structures mitigated insurance
needs• Continued exposure to risk may numb you
against need for protection– Vikrant’s postulate!
![Page 49: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
Buyer Behaviour..Gen Y
• Has seen many economic downturns• Has seen parents and grandparents
surviving beyond 90• Has seen implications of losing a job• Rising health costs• Rising debts• Technology savvy• Socially networked• Believes in peer groups
![Page 50: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
Learning for Manufacturers
• Create products which suit current generation– Premium holidays; stand alone critical illness
covers– Reverse mortgages
• Allow customers to ‘do their own thing’– Highly interactive websites– Online support
• Explore innovative distribution channels– Shopassurance
![Page 51: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
Learning for Manufacturers
• There is a clear trend towards ‘search’• 70% of customers in developed countries
search for the financial product before buying
• Role of web aggregators• Keep your focus:
– Customers who don't fit our business model don't fit our business model, and that's totally O.K.- ING
![Page 52: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
Emergence of Web Aggregators: UK example
• More than 25 million people used price comparison sites for purchase of Insurance in 2010.
• In UK Moneysupermarket.com is the most valued price comparison site with 38% market share. Some of the other notable sites are gocompare. com (20%) and confused.com (13%)
• Moneysupermarket.com has on an average more than 3 million visitors per month.
• The most searched products online were car insurance followed by auto, travel, credit cards, savings account and Life Insurance.
• Phone sales continue to be almost 25% of the online ‘search’ market wherein the customer searches for information online but prefers to buy it through a tele sales or face to face channel.
![Page 53: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
Why not Kolaveri di?
• Viral marketing in financial services is more often for negative publicity
• Can be disastrous
![Page 54: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
Conclusions
• Technology creates new opportunities AND challenges for manufacturers
• Technological advancement is NOT necessarily a substitute for– Intermediaries– Detailed advice– Reducing costs
• Buyer behaviour changes with socio-economic changes; Banks and Insurance companies need to be congnizant of the changes
![Page 55: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
55
Conclusions…
• Leaders invent the ‘HOW’• True leaders are not conquerors; they are
pioneers• Leaders challenge the paradigm• People copy fast so you need to constantly
innovate if you want to be on top
![Page 56: Overview of distribution of financial produts](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061220/5485f94db47959140d8b4fed/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
