In this regard other banks are very poor. Yes Bank for example has its customer support offices only in North India and hence cannot support other languages.
Banks really should serve Indians in their respective languages. For this they need to enable call-routing technology.
The South India based banks - Federal bank, Dhanalaxmi bank, City Union Bank, Karur Vysia bank, Lakshmi Vilas bank are expanding very fast.
Now let us consider some other facts about banks. The EU budget talks have failed. France has been downgraded. Hungary too has been downgraded. The troubled economies in Europe are expecting a double dip recession.
Banks in the West, have been having their tough times, since 2007-2008, that was when the evil recession crept in and played havoc with the western economies. Most western banks were hit hard by the recession and almost all of them reported huge losses. Some of them were at the verge of collapse and probably would have been wiped off but for the bailing out of many of them by the Governments of the European countries and the US.
Recovery has almost eluded the recession hit nations of Europe and America. And the banks are in real bad shape.
The rating agencies have downgraded the European banks several times. Some banks have been downgraded two notches in one go, instead of the usual one notch. The finances of these banks are in such bad shape. After the so called “haircuts”, these banks have become financial junk-shops, with no hopes of any kind of retrieval. Another one or two notches downgrading will take these banks to junk- status ratings.
Indian financial system has remained insulated against all the financial debacles of the west which ensued the recession.
Some of the failed western banks are running their shops in India too. They are no better off than their promoters or associates in those countries.
One wonders what kind of interests a few Indian market participants have in these junk-shops that they are indirectly promoting them by investing in stocks related to them or their associates. This is nothing but asking for trouble for it involves importing of huge risks from those markets to our own, which have been largely insulated and protected by the well founded measures and actions of our regulators.
