EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project titled “Customer’s Perception Towards the
Performance of ICICI Credit Cards with Reference to the City of Cuttack”
has been carried out for ICICI Bank Ltd in the city of Cuttack.. The main
objectives of the study were to study the perception of people and market
opinion towards credit cards in general and towards ICICI credit cards in
particular in the city of Cuttack.
Market research in Cuttack showed credit cards offer consumers
an easy way to track expenses, which is necessary for both monitoring
personal expenditures and the tracking of work-related expenses for
taxation and reimbursement purposes. It was convenient in providing large
variety of credit limits, repayment arrangement, and other perks (such as
rewards schemes in which points earned by purchasing goods with the card
can be redeemed for further goods and services or credit card cash back).
Market study shows that everybody wants money to keep in pocket but the
bunch of money is not safe for them. However, the plastic money is
comparatively safe and having highest value in terms of money. The demand
for plastic money has been increased through decades, which shows that the
people are going towards advancement.
In this project the great emphasis is given to the customers’ mindset
about the ICICI Bank credit card. It is found that ICICI Bank credit card is
much popular among the customers because of its variety of credit cards. I
hope this project gives the best way for the ICICI Bank for increasing the
number of credit card customers in future. I have taken the maximum data
and best way of analysis to make my project valuable. The data analysis
part provides details of my findings which will provide more idea to the
ICICI Bank to keep going in the credit card business.
Morever,this project will give more idea about the different credit
cards introduced by the ICICI Bank. This project will also help the other
financial company to take a fresh look towards the credit cards.

even its best lucrative part and its drawbacks which give us a perception that if person
used it in better way within its limitations and rule and regulations then it help in lots of
way.In the second day only we went to the market and were supposed to know the
mindset of the customers those want to buy credit card or those who don’t want to buy. In
our first week we find that there are lots of people who still want to know something
about the ICICI bank credit card and its benefits, but still there are lots of people who
don’t want to listen anything about the ICICI bank credit card these are those people
who faced some problem while using the credit card. Even though we were not set any
target, but we were asked to collect as much as leads as possible who would be
interested for ICICI bank credit cards and we were successful enough to create some
positive files out of it in the very first week itself.
Second week
In the second week, our corporate guide have set a target for us and we started
finding out the customers who want to buy ICICI bank credit card. Our corporate guide
wanted us to work freely to achieve the target so that we just come to know the thinking
of customers, what they expect from a ICICI bank credit card regarding its facilities and
services. We just try to convince them to buy credit card. We have work to make aware
about the credit card facilities of ICICI bank, the types of credit card they have launched
in the market. People have made some bad remarks about the ICICI bank credit card
relating its hidden charges and bad service. We have taken it as a challenge and make
people aware about their all types of queries.But , we also met with some people who
were much satisfied with ICICI bank credit cards.

knew that it was the best option for selling of credit cards. convincing customers
according to there expectations. We start talking those person having good corporate
contacts, not only that while convincing customers if we get anyone visiting cards then
1
we took it seriously and started making calls to that customers. Accordingly we visited
many customers and started showing them the best and lucrative area from where they
can easily get attracted. And thus we were successful in closing some files. We also got
many references from those customers and thus started making calls them too and got

OVERVIEW OF ICICI BANK
The Government of India established ICICI in 1955 as a Financial Institution (FI,
other such institutions were IDBI and SIDBI) with the objective to finance large
industrial projects. ICICI was not a bank - it could not take retail deposits - and nor was
it required to comply with Indian banking requirements for liquid reserves. ICICI
borrowed funds from many multilateral agencies (such as the World Bank), often at
concessional rates. It used these to make large corporate loans.
All this changed in 1990s. ICICI founded a separate legal entity, ICICI Bank, to
undertake normal banking operations - taking deposits, credit cards, car loans etc. The
experiment was so successful that ICICI merged into ICICI Bank in a "reverse merger"
in 2002.At the time of the reverse merger,
there were rumours that ICICI had a large proportions of Non Performing Loans
("NPA", as they are known in India) on its books - in particular to the steel industry.
Since 2002, there has been a general revival in Indian industry (and metal based
industry in particular).
ICICI Bank now is the largest among all banks in retail or consumer financing.
ICICI Bank is the largest issuer of credit cards in India . It was the first bank to offer a
wide network of ATM's and has a large network of ATM's.ICICI Bank also has the
largest market value of all banks in India, and is widely seen as a sophisticated bank
able to take on many global banks in the Indian market.
The Bank is expanding in overseas markets and has the largest international
balance sheet among Indian banks. The international banking business was set up in
4
2002 to implement a focussed strategy for the overseas market. The Bank now has
wholly-owned subsidiaries, branches and representatives offices in 18 countries,
including an offshore unit in Mumbai. This includes wholly owned subsidiaries in UK,
Canada and Russia, offshore banking units in Singapore and Bahrain; advisory branch
in Dubai, branches in Sri Lanka, Hong Kong and Belgium; and rep offices in the US,
China, United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh, South Africa, Indonesia, Thailand and
Malaysia. The bank is targeting the NRI (Non Resident Indian) population for expanding
its business.
ICICI Bank has been endorsed by Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan. The
Cheques presented to winners in the first 2 versions of the famous game show - Kaun
Banega crorepati were ICICI Bank cheques. ICICI Bank reported marked-to-market loss
of $264 million as of January 31, 2008 following USA subprime mortgage crisis.

Outlook and Future prospects of ICICI Bank:

ICICI Bank dominates the Indian .financial sector with its aggressive growth
overtures.ICICI Bank commands 25% share of the total retail assets outstanding in India
(33% in fresh disbursements), against 17% for SBI. After its success in retail .financing,
the bank is eyeing overseas expansion and rural banking to leverage the huge growth
opportunities unfolding in these areas. Recent decision of RBI to allow ICICI bank to
open new branches would help bank to maintain its growth momentum and increase its
rural reach. This would help the bank to penetrate the market further and reach non
banked rural people.
Apart from the Indian operations, the bank is eyeing the international markets.
The vision of the bank is to play a significant role in facilitating trade by providing home
and host country links to the domestic companies having business relations in the region
and enable the bank to increase its participation in India’s trade transactions in the
region.
6
The bank is planning to expand its international operations to 25% of its total business
in the next three years. With the bank targeting an overall growth of 30% per annum, its
overseas business will have to triple from its current level to reach 25%. Unlocking of
value in it major subsidiaries will be a trigger for the stock in the next 12- 18 months.
ABOUT THE CREDIT CARDS

A credit card is a system of payment named after the small plastic card issued to
users of the system. A credit card is different from a debit card in that it does not remove
money from the user's account after every transaction. In the case of credit cards, the
issuer lends money to the consumer (or the user) to be paid to the merchant. It is also
different from a charge card (though this name is sometimes used by the public to
describe credit cards), which requires the balance to be paid in full each month. In
contrast, a credit card allows the consumer to 'revolve' their balance, at the cost of
having interest charged.
HISTORY OF CREDIT CARDS

The credit card was the successor of a variety of merchant credit schemes. It was
first used in the 1920s, in the United States, specifically to sell fuel to a growing number
of automobile owners. In 1938 several companies started to accept each other's cards.
The concept of using a card for purchases was invented in 1887 by Edward Bellamy and
described in his utopian novel Looking Backward. Bellamy uses the explicit term "Credit
Card" eleven times in his novel.The concept of paying merchants using a card was
invented in 1950 by Ralph Schneider and Frank X. McNamara in order to consolidate
multiple cards. The Diners Club, which was created partially through a merger with
Dine and Sign, produced the first "general purpose" charge card, which is similar but
required the entire bill to be paid with each statement; it was followed shortly thereafter
by American Express and Carte Blanche. Western Union had begun issuing charge cards
to its frequent customers in 1914.
Bank of America created the BankAmericard in 1958, a product which eventually
evolved into the Visa system ("Chargex" also became Visa). MasterCard came to being
in 1966 when a group of credit-issuing banks established MasterCharge. The fractured
nature of the US banking system meant that credit cards became an effective way for
those who were travelling around the country to move their credit to places where they
could not directly use their banking facilities. In 1966 Barclaycard in the UK launched
the first credit card outside of the US.
In contrast, although having reached very high adoption levels in the US, Canada
and the UK, it is important to note that many cultures were much more cash-oriented in
the latter half of the twentieth century, or had developed alternative forms of cash-less
payments, like Carte bleue, or the EC-card (Germany, France, Switzerland, among many
others). In these places, the take-up of credit cards was initially much slower. It took
until the 1990s to reach anything like the percentage market-penetration levels achieved
in the US, Canada or UK. In many countries acceptance still remains poor as the use of
a credit card system depends on the banking system being perceived as reliable. In
contrast, because of the legislative framework surrounding banking system overdrafts,
some countries, France in particular, were much faster to develop and adopt chip-based
7
credit cards which are now seen as major anti-fraud credit devices.
The credit card market in India has started out in 1981, is on the verge of an
unprecedented boom. Between 1987 and 2000, the market has virtually grown to over 3.8
million cards with almost 25-30 per cent growth in new card-holders.The card industry,
which is growing at the rate of 20 per cent per annum is flooded with cards ranging from
gold, silver, global, smart to secure…the list is endless. From just two payments in the
early ‘80s, the industry now houses over 10 major players vying for a major chunk of the
card pie.
SHAPE,SIZE AND DESIGN

The design of the credit card itself has become a major selling point in recent years.
The value of the card to the issuer being related to the Customer's usage of the card. This
has led to the rise of Co-Brand and Affinity cards - where the card design is related to
the "affinity" leading to higher card usage. In most cases a percentage of the value of
the card is returned to the affinity group.Most credit cards are the same shape and size,
as specified by the ISO 7810 standard. The most common credit card size, known as ID-
1, is 85.60 × 53.98 mm.
The front of a typical credit card has:
• Issuing bank logo
• EMV chip
• Hologram
• Credit card number
• Card brand logo
• Expiry Date
• Cardholder's name
The reverse side of a typical credit card has:
• Magnetic Stripe
• Signature Strip
• Card Security Code
HOW CREDIT CARDS WORKS ?

A user is issued credit after an account has been approved by the credit provider,
and is given a credit card, with which the user will be able to make purchases from
merchants accepting that credit card up to a pre-established credit limit. Often a general
bank issues the credit, but sometimes a captive bank created to issue a particular brand
of credit card, such as Chase, Wells Fargo or Bank of America, issues the credit.
When a purchase is made, the credit card user agrees to pay the card issuer. The
cardholder indicates his/her consent to pay, by signing a receipt with a record of the
card details and indicating the amount to be paid or by entering a Personal identification
number (PIN). Also, many merchants now accept verbal authorizations via telephone
and electronic authorization using the Internet, known as a 'Card/Cardholder Not
Present' (CNP) transaction. Electronic verification systems allow merchants to verify
that the card is valid and the credit card customer has sufficient credit to cover the
purchase in a few seconds, allowing the verification to happen at time of purchase. The
verification is
8
performed using a credit card payment terminal or Point of Sale (POS) system with a
communications link to the merchant's acquiring bank. Data from the card is obtained
from a magnetic stripe or chip on the card; the latter system is in the United Kingdom
commonly known as Chip and PIN, but is more technically an EMV card.
Other variations of verification systems are used by eCommerce merchants to
determine if the user's account is valid and able to accept the charge. These will typically
involve the cardholder providing additional information, such as the security code
printed on the back of the card, or the address of the cardholder.
Each month, the credit card user is sent a statement indicating the purchases
undertaken with the card, any outstanding fees, and the total amount owed. After
receiving the statement, the cardholder may dispute any charges that he or she thinks are
incorrect. Otherwise, the cardholder must pay a defined minimum proportion of the bill
by a due date, or may choose to pay a higher amount up to the entire amount owed. The
credit provider charges interest on the amount owed (typically at a much higher rate
than most other forms of debt). Some financial institutions can arrange for automatic
payments to be deducted from the user's bank accounts, thus avoiding late payment
altogether as long as the cardholder has sufficient funds. Credit card issuers usually
waive interest charges if the balance is paid in full each month, but typically will charge
full interest on the entire outstanding balance from the date of each purchase if the total
balance is not paid.
Financial institutions refer to interest charged back to the original time of the
transaction and up to the time a payment was made, if not in full, as RRFC or residual
retail finance charge. Thus after an amount has revolved and a payment has been made
that the user of the card will still receive interest charges on their statement after paying
the next statement in full (in fact the statement may only have a charge for interest that
collected up until the date the full balance was paid...i.e. when the balance stopped
revolving).
The credit card may simply serve as a form of revolving credit, or it may become a
complicated financial instrument with multiple balance segments each at a different
interest rate, possibly with a single umbrella credit limit, or with separate credit limits
applicable to the various balance segments. Usually this compartmentalization is the
result of special incentive offers from the issuing bank, either to encourage balance
transfers from cards of other issuers, or to encourage more spending on the part of the
customer. In the event that several interest rates apply to various balance segments,
payment allocation is generally at the discretion of the issuing bank, and payments will
therefore usually be allocated towards the lowest rate balances until paid in full before
any money is paid towards higher rate balances. Interest rates can vary considerably
from card to card, and the interest rate on a particular card may jump dramatically if the
card user is late with a payment on that card or any other credit instrument, or even if
the issuing bank decides to raise its revenue. As the rates and terms vary, services have
been set up allowing users to calculate savings available by switching cards, which can
be considerable if there is a large outstanding balance .
Because of intense competition in the credit card industry, credit providers often
offer incentives such as frequent flyer points, gift certificates, or cash back (typically up
to 1 percent based on total purchases) to try to attract customers to their program.Low
9
interest credit cards or even 0% interest credit cards are available. The only downside to
consumers is that the period of low interest credit cards is limited to a fixed term, usually
between 6 and 12 months after which a higher rate is charged. However, services are
available which alert credit card holders when their low interest period is due to expire.
Most such services charge a monthly or annual fee.
Grace period
A credit card's grace period is the time the customer has to pay the balance
before interest is charged to the balance. Grace periods vary, but usually range from 20
to 30 days depending on the type of credit card and the issuing bank. Some policies allow
for reinstatement after certain conditions are met. Usually, if a customer is late paying
the balance, finance charges will be calculated and the grace period does not apply.
Finance charge(s) incurred depends on the grace period and balance, with most credit
cards there is no grace period if there's any outstanding balance from the previous
billing cycle or statement (i.e. interest is applied on both the previous balance and new
transactions). However, there are some credit cards that will only apply finance charge
on the previous or old balance, excluding new transactions.

services sold to the cardholder
Acquiring bank: The financial institution accepting payment for the products or services
on behalf of the merchant.
Independent sales organization: Resellers (to merchants) of the services of

Merchant account: This could refer to the acquiring bank or the independent sales
organization, but in general is the organization that the merchant deals with.
Credit Card association: An association of card-issuing banks such as Visa,
MasterCard, Discover, American Express, etc. that set transaction terms for merchants,
card-issuing banks, and acquiring banks.
Transaction network: The system that implements the mechanics of the electronic
transactions. May be operated by an independent company, and one company may
operate multiple networks. Transaction processing networks include: Cardnet, Nabanco,
Omaha, Paymentech, NDC Atlanta, Nova, Vital, Concord EFSnet, and VisaNet.
Affinity partner: Some institutions lend their name to an issuer to attract customers that
have a strong relationship with that institution, and get paid a fee or a percentage of the
balance for each card issued using their name. Examples of typical affinity partners are
sports teams, universities and charities.
FEATURES OF CREDIT CARDS
As well as convenient, accessible credit, credit cards offer consumers an easy
way to track expenses, which is necessary for both monitoring personal expenditures and
10
the tracking of work-related expenses for taxation and reimbursement purposes. Credit
cards are accepted worldwide, and are available with a large variety of credit limits,
repayment arrangement, and other perks (such as rewards schemes in which points
earned by purchasing goods with the card can be redeemed for further goods and
services or credit card cashback).Some countries, such as the United States, the United
Kingdom, and France, limit the amount for which a consumer can be held liable due to
fraudulent transactions as a result of a consumer's credit card being lost or stolen.
Security Overview
Credit card security is based on privacy of the actual credit card number. This
means that whenever a person other than the card owner reads the number, security is
potentially compromised. Since this happens most of the time when a transaction is
made, security is low.A user with access to just the number can only make certain types
of transactions. Merchants will often accept credit card numbers without extra
verification for mail order, but then the delivery address will be recorded, so the thief
must make sure he can have the goods delivered to an anonymous address
(i.e. not his own) and collect them without being detected. Some merchants will accept a
credit card number for in-store purchases, whereupon access to the number allows easy
fraud, but many require the card itself to be present, and require a signature. Thus, a
stolen card can be cancelled, and if this is done quickly, no fraud can take place in this
way. For internet purchases, there is sometimes the same level of security as for mail
order (number only) hence requiring only that the fraudster take care about collecting
the goods, but often there are additional measures. The main one is to require a security
PIN with the card, which requires that the thief have access to the card.
An additional feature to secure the credit card transaction and prohibit the use of a
lost credit card is the MobiClear solution. Each transaction is authenticated through a
call to the user mobile phone. The transaction is released once the transaction has been
confirmed by the cardholder pushing his/her pincode during the call.The PCI DSS is the
security standard issued by The PCI SSC (Payment Card Industry Security Standards
Council). This data security standard is used by acquiring banks to impose cardholder
data securit measures upon their merchants.
Security Problems & Protection
A smart card, combining credit card and debit card properties. The 3 by 5 mm
security chip embedded in the card is shown enlarged in the inset. The gold contact pads
on the card enable electronic access to the chip.The low security of the credit card
system presents countless opportunities for fraud. This opportunity has created a huge
black market in stolen credit card numbers, which are generally used quickly before the
cards are reported stolen.
The goal of the credit card companies is not to eliminate fraud, but to "reduce it to
manageable levels", such that the total cost of both fraud and fraud prevention is
minimized. This implies that high-cost low-return fraud prevention measures will not be
used if their cost exceeds the potential gains from fraud reduction.
Most internet fraud is done through the use of stolen credit card information which is
obtained in many ways, the simplest being copying information from retailers, either
online or offline. Despite efforts to improve security for remote purchases using credit
cards, systems with security holes are usually the result of poor implementations of card
11
acquisition by merchants. For example, a website that uses SSL to encrypt card numbers
from a client may simply email the number from the
webserver to someone who manually processes the card details at a card terminal.
Naturally, anywhere card details become human-readable before being processed at the
acquiring bank, a security risk is created. However, many banks offer systems where
encrypted card details captured on a merchant's webserver can be sent directly to the
payment processor.
Controlled Payment Numbers are another option for protecting one's credit card
number: they are "alias" numbers linked to one's actual card number, generated as
needed, valid for a relatively short time, with a very low limit, and typically only valid
with a single merchant.
Three improvements to card security have been introduced to the more common
credit card networks but none has proven to help reduce credit card fraud so far. First,
the on-line verification system used by merchants is being enhanced to require a 4 digit
Personal Identification Number (PIN) known only to the card holder. Second, the cards
themselves are being replaced with similar-looking tamper-resistant smart cards which
are intended to make forgery more difficult. The majority of smartcard (IC card) based
credit cards comply with the EMV (Europay MasterCard Visa) standard. Third, an
additional 3 or 4 digit code is now present on the back of most cards, for use in "card not
present" transactions.
The way credit card owners pay off their balances has a tremendous effect on their
credit history. All the information is collected by credit bureaus. The credit information
stays on the credit report, depending on the jurisdiction and the situation, for 1, 2, 5, 7 or
even 10 years after the debt is repaid.
.
COSTS ASSOCIATED
Credit card issuers (banks) have several types of costs:
Interest expenses
Banks generally borrow the money they then lend to their customers. As they receive
very low-interest loans from other firms, they may borrow as much as their customers
require, while lending their capital to other borrowers at higher rates. If the card issuer
charges 15% on money lent to users, and it costs 5% to borrow the money to lend, and
the balance sits with the cardholder for a year, the issuer earns 10% on the loan. This
5% difference is the "interest expense" and the 10% is the "net interest spread".
Operating costs
This is the cost of running the credit card portfolio, including everything from
paying the executives who run the company to printing the plastics, to
mailing the statements, to running the computers that keep track of every cardholder's
balance, to taking the many phone calls which cardholders place to their issuer, to
protecting the customers from fraud rings.
Charge offs
When a consumer becomes severely delinquent on a debt (often at the point of six
months without payment), the creditor may declare the debt to be a charge-off. It will
then be listed as such on the debtor's credit bureau reports (Equifax, for instance, lists
"R9" in the "status" column to denote a charge-off.) It is one of the worst possible items
12
to have on your file. The item will include relevant dates, and the amount of the bad
debt.A charge-off is considered to be "written off as uncollectable." To banks, bad debts
and even fraud are simply part of the cost of doing business. However, the debt is still
legally valid, and the creditor can attempt to collect the full amount for the time periods
permitted under state law, which is usually 3 to 7 years. This includes contacts from
internal collections staff, or more likely, an outside collection agency.
Rewards
Many credit card customers receive rewards, such as frequent flier points, gift
certificates, or cash back as an incentive to use the card. Rewards are generally tied to
purchasing an item or service on the card, which may or may not include balance
transfers, cash advances, or other special uses. Depending on the type of card, rewards
will generally cost the issuer between 0.25% and 2.0% of the spend. Networks like Visa
or MasterCard have increased their fees to allow issuers to fund their rewards system.
However, most rewards points are accrued as a liability on a company's balance sheet
and expensed at the time of reward redemption. As a result, some issuers discourage
redemption by forcing the cardholder to call customer service for rewards. On their
servicing website, redeeming awards is usually a feature that is very well hidden by the
issuers. Others encourage redemption for lower cost merchandise; instead of an airline
ticket, which is very expensive to an issuer, the cardholder may be encouraged to redeem
for a gift certificate instead. With a fractured and competitive environment, rewards
points cut dramatically into an issuer's bottom line, and rewards points and related
incentives must be carefully managed to ensure a profitable portfolio. There is a case to
be made that rewards not redeemed should follow the same path as gift cards that are
not used: in certain states the gift card breakage goes to the state's treasury. The same
could happen to the value of points or cash not redeemed.
Credit card fraud
Where a card is stolen, or an unauthorized duplicate made, most card issuers will
refund some or all of the charges that the customer has received
for things they did not buy. These refunds will, in some cases, be at the expense of the
merchant, especially in mail order cases where the merchant cannot claim sight of the
card. In several countries, merchants will lose the money if no ID card was asked for,
therefore merchants usually require ID card in these countries.
The cost of fraud is high; in the UK in 2004 it was over £500 million.Credit card
companies generally guarantee the merchant will be paid on legitimate transactions
regardless of whether the consumer pays their credit card bill."Soft fraud" is fraud
committed by the customer himself: getting a card and using it with no intention ever to
repay the balance. Such customers are called "diabolicals" by the credit card
companies; they try to avoid them at all cost.
Industry jargon for customer categories
Customers who do not pay in full the amount owed on their monthly statement (the
"balance") by the due date (that is, at the end of the "grace period") and are not in a
promotional period owe interest ("finance charges") are known in the industry as
"revolvers." Those who pay in full (pay the entire balance) are known in the industry as
"deadbeaters", "transactors," or "convenience users". Those that shift usage of their
credit cards or transfer balances frequently are known in the industry as "rate surfers".
13
Interest on outstanding balances
Interest charges vary widely from card issuer to card issuer. Often, there are "teaser"
rates in effect for initial periods of time (as low as zero percent for, say, six months),
whereas regular rates can be as high as 40 percent. In the U.S. there is no federal limit
on the interest or late fees credit card issuers can charge; the interest rates are set by the
states, with some states, like South Dakota, having no ceiling on interest rates and fees,
inviting some banks to establish their credit card operations there. Other states, like
Delaware, have very weak usury laws. The teaser rate no longer applies if the customer
doesn't pay his bills on time, and is replaced by a penalty interest rate (for example,
24.99%) that applies retroactively. So customers should be wary of these offers, that
usually contain some traps. Cash withdrawals will never carry the teaser rate. Some
issuers will charge interest even if the balance was paid off in full by the due date. This
practice is called double cycle billing, and is becoming rare in the industry.
Fees charged to customers
The major fees are for:
• Late payments or overdue payments
• Charges that result in exceeding the credit limit on the card (whether done
deliberately or by mistake), called overlimit fees
• Returned cheque fees or payment processing fees (eg phone payment fee)
• Cash advances and convenience cheques (often 3% of the amount). Transactions
in a foreign currency (as much as 3% of the amount). A few financial institutions
do not charge a fee for this.
• Membership fees (annual or monthly), sometimes a percentage of the credit limit.
• Foreign Exchange Premium
• Neutral consumer resources
The Government of Canada maintains a database of the fees, features, interest rates
and reward programs of nearly 200 credit cards available in Canada. This database is
updated on a quarterly basis with information supplied by the credit card issuing
companies. Information in the database is published every quarter on the website of the
Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC).
Information in the database is published in two formats. It is available in PDF
comparison tables that break down the information according to type of credit card,
allowing the reader to compare the features of, for example, all the student credit cards
in the database.
The database also feeds into an interactive tool on the FCAC website. The
interactive tool uses several interview-type questions to build a profile of the user's credit
card usage habits and needs, eliminating unsuitable choices based on the profile, so that
the user is presented with a small number of credit cards and the ability to carry out
detailed comparisons of features, reward programs, interest rates, etc.
Controversy Associated
There is some controversy about credit card usage in recent years. Credit card debt
has soared, particularly among young people. Since the late 1990s, lawmakers,
consumer advocacy groups, college officials and other higher education affiliates have
become increasingly concerned about the rising use of credit cards among college
students. The
14
major credit card companies have been accused of targeting a younger audience, in
particular college students, many of whom are already in debt with college tuition fees
and college loans and who typically are less experienced at managing their own
finances. A recent study by United College Marketing Services has shown that student
credit lines have increased to over $6,000. Credit card usage has tripled since 2001
amongst teenagers as well. Since eighteen year olds in many countries and most U.S.
states are eligible for a card without parental consent or employment, the likelihood of
increased balances, unwise use of credit and damaged credit scores increases..
According to Larry Chiang of United College Marketing Services, an example of a
credit card class action was where issuers were "rolling back" posting times to extract
more late fees. The due dates were "rolled back" from 1pm to 10am because mail was
delivered in the afternoon so due dates were actually rolled back to charge more late
fees. The following banks are listed (with the amounts penalized) in this one particular
class action.
• Providian: US$405 million
• Bank One: US$40 million
• Chase: US$22.2 million
• Citibank: US$15.5 million
Another controversial area is the universal default feature of many North American
credit card contracts. When a cardholder is late paying a particular credit card issuer,
that card's interest rate can be raised, often considerably. Universal default allows
creditors to periodically check cardholders' credit portfolios to view trade, thus allowing
the institution to decrease the credit limit or increase rates on cardholders who may be
late with another credit card issuer. Being late on one credit card will potentially affect
all the cardholder's credit cards. Citibank voluntarily stopped this practice in March
2007 and Chase stopped the practice in November 2007.
Another controversial area is the trailing interest issue. Trailing interest is the
practice of charging interest on the entire bill no matter what percentage of it is paid.
U.S Senator Carl Levin raised the issue at a U.S Senate Hearing of millions of
Americans whom he said are slaves to hidden fees, compounding interest and cryptic
terms. Their woes were heard in a Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations
hearing which was chaired by Senator Levin who said that he intends to keep the
spotlight on credit card companies and that legislative action may be necessary to purge
the industry.
Payment Allotment
Credit card companies typically apply your payment to a balance with a lower
interest rate before a balance with a higher interest rate. With this payment allocation, if
you have a balance from a transfer with an interest rate of 2% and a balance from point
of sale purchases with an interest rate of 8%, your payment will affect the purchase
balance only after the transfer balance has been paid in full.
Hidden costs
Merchants pay a negotiated fee -- typically 1-3% for larger merchants and 3-6% for
smaller merchants -- to process credit payments. They must also bear the cost of
providing a point-of-sale solution to enable the acceptance of card transactions and
other card services related expenses. Credit card issuers understand full well that if card
holders were aware of and made to pay these additional costs with their purchases it
15
would tend to discourage credit card usage. As a consequence, businesses who accept
credit cards often must sign a "merchant agreement" or contract with the acquirer that
stipulates that they are not allowed to offer different prices for card and non-card
transactions (sometimes referred to as surcharging) despite the additional costs to the
business for accepting the cards. The prohibition on surcharging or cash discounts is
enforced by law in some countries, although some governments are beginning to lift this
restriction.
Some critics have observed that this results in what is effectively a hidden expense on
all transactions conducted by merchants who accept credit cards since they must build
the cost of transaction fees into their overall business expense. Furthermore, cash and
other non-credit card using customers are in effect made to subsidize credit card user
purchases. The cost of the convenience and protections enjoyed by card holders and the
profits taken from transaction fees by the card industry (which has come to rely
increasingly on this revenue stream over the years) is in part borne by the non-card
purchaser. Critics further note that the customers most likely to pay in cash are probably
the least able to afford the additional expense, the argument going that card holders are
more likely to be affluent and non-card holders less so. In response, others point out that
credit cards can pay for themselves through an overall increase in sales, allowing the
business owner to retain his existing price structure and offsetting the hidden extra
expenses.One counterargument to the cash subsidization argument is that there are also
costs to the merchant in other forms of payment.
Redlining
Credit Card redlining is a spatially discriminatory practice among credit card
issuers of providing different amounts of credit to different areas, based on their ethnic-
minority composition, rather than on economic criteria, such as the potential
profitability of operating in those areas.
Credit card numbering
The numbers found on credit cards have a certain amount of internal structure, and
share a common numbering scheme.
The card number's prefix, called the Bank Identification Number, is the sequence of
digits at the beginning of the number that determine the bank to which a credit card
number belongs. This is the first six digits for MasterCard and Visa cards. The next nine
digits are the individual account number, and the final digit is a validity check code.In
addition to the main credit card number, credit cards also carry issue and expiration
dates (given to the nearest month), as well as extra codes such as issue numbers and
security codes. Not all credit cards have the same sets of extra codes nor do they use the
same number of digits.
Credit cards in ATMs
Many credit cards can also be used in an ATM to withdraw money against the credit
limit extended to the card but many card issuers charge interest on cash advances before
they do so on purchases. The interest on cash advances is commonly charged from the
date the withdrawal is made, rather than the monthly billing date. Many card issuers levy
a commission for cash withdrawals, even if the ATM belongs to the same bank as the
card issuer. Merchants do not offer cashback on credit card transactions because they
would pay a percentage commission of the additional cash amount to their bank or
16
merchant services provider, thereby making it uneconomical.
Many credit card companies will also, when applying payments to a card, do so at
the end of a billing cycle, and apply those payments to everything before cash advances.
For this reason, many consumers have large cash balances, which have no grace period
and incur interest at a rate that is (usually) higher than the purchase rate, and will carry
those balance for years, even if they pay off their statement balance each month.
Credit cards as funding for entrepreneurs
Credit cards are a creative, yet often risky way for entrepreneurs to acquire capital
for their start ups when more conventional financing is unavailable. It is rumoured that
Larry Page and Sergey Brin's start up of Google was financed by credit cards to buy the
necessary computers and office equipment, more specifically "a terabyte of memory".
Similarly, filmmaker Robert Townsend financed part of Hollywood Shuffle using credit
cards. Director Kevin Smith funded Clerks in part by maxing out several credit cards.
Richard Hatch also financed his production of Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming
partly through his credit cards. Famed hedge fund manager Bruce Kovner began his
career (and, later on, his firm Caxton Associates) in financial markets by borrowing
from his credit card.
Collectible credit cards
A growing field of numismatics (study of money), or more specifically exonumia
(study of money-like objects), credit card collectors seek to collect various embodiments
of credit from the now familiar plastic cards to older
paper merchant cards, and even metal tokens that were accepted as merchant credit
cards. Early credit cards were made of celluloid, then metal and fiber, then paper and
are now mostly plastic.

ICICI-FUTURE CREDIT CARD
Kishore Biyani-led Future Group’s new credit card offering loyalty points —
Future Card — is expected to include service-oriented companies from the telecom and
aviation industries.Entities which are currently not part of the Future Group are already
in talks with the retailer to use its platform to increase consumption of their services.
Airlines such as Kingfisher and Deccan, which already have their respective loyalty
programmes, have evinced interest in being part of the Future Card.
In fact, there are airlines already in this segment but at the same time are open
to expanding their existing loyalty programmes.” Even telecom service providers, who
already have discount schemes as part of their packages, are looking at tapping into the
resources provided by the Future Card due to its wide consumer base. “The Future
Group has a presence in 50 locations, which is expected to go up to 100. There would be
even regional telecom players whom we could include in the Future Card.Besides, travel
is going to be a focus area for the Future Group, having forged alliances with travel
agencies such as Cleartrip.com and Travel House. In fact, with Future Capital having
picked up a stake in Centrum Capital, there is a possibility of getting into forex-related
services for which it might rope in Cleartrip.com as well.Besides, the Mumbai-based
travel agency, Travel House, is already a member company of the Future Card and is
giving discounts for its packages as part of the loyalty programmes.
Meanwhile, the 1 million ICICI Big Bazaar Credit Card-holders would be
transferred to the new Future Card, which would cover the 32 Future Group companies
ranging from Pantaloon Retail to its several joint ventures such as Lee Cooper and
Etam. While the new Future Card would continue to be empowered by ICICI Bank,
companies outside the Future group would continue to be added to it, offering loyalty
points for members. With free gifts assured on the Future Card, the Future Group
expects its membership to touch 3-4 million in the near future.
It could be a venture that could bring one of
the most innovative companies in their respective
businesses to launch a co-branded credit card.
Future Group’s financial services arm,
Future Capital Holdings has tied up with India’s
largest private sector bank,ICICI to launch Future
Card, which is a credit card cum loyalty card. As
opposed to the current ICICI Bank Big Bazaar
card, this card would offer customers discounts and
benefits across all Future Group stores such as Pantaloons, Central, Big Bazaar, Food
Bazaar, Home Town, e-zone among others.Customers will receive four loyalty points for
every Rs 100 spent at Future group’s retail stores and one loyalty point for every Rs 200
spent outside the group’s retail stores. All 5 lakh existing holders of ICICI Bank Big
Bazaar card would have option to migrate to Future Card.While ICICI will do all the
41
legal work along with collection and recovery of money from card holders, Future Group
would market and distribute the cards for which it will receive Rs.600 for every new
credit card issued.

• The scope of this analysis is to tell the ICICI bank, that where they are lacking.
Many customers are leaving ICICI bank credit card because of some rule and
regulations. This particular study will help any financial institution to overcome
from there bad retention rate.
• I have taken the help of some questions which will make me clear whether people
still want ICICI bank credit card or not?. On the basis of my analysis I will give
some suggestion which will work as life jacket for the ICICI bank to overcome
from its bad image.
• The main scope of this analysis is to make the popularity of the ICICI bank credit
card, and try to make them (customers) aware about the credit card and its
benefits. This study is beneficiary for the both ICICI bank and the customer using
the credit cards.
• This study is fully supported by the wide range of data vividly analyzed which will
help the company to read the customers mindset and try to bend them according
to its need.
LIMITATION OF STUDY
• The study was restricted to City of Cuttack. It may not provide an overall view of
the market of financial card (Credit Card).
• Some of respondents were hesitant to give information to some questions; the
information was withheld saying it was confidential.
44
• Information provided by the customers and the bank’s personnel can be biased,
which may have affected my project.
• As the topic of my project was completely research- oriented, I didn’t get any
suitable book for my project.
• Due to shortage of time I was not able to take more sample size than 100,, which
could also be a hurdle in my suggestion.
Problems Encountered During the Study
• The people have less knowledge of rule & regulation of proper handling of credit
cards.
• Although it is very much beneficial for the customers to some extent, generally
they don’t want to use the credit card.
• The professional people are not ready to give time for these interactions.
• It was very difficult to convince people to participate in the study.
• People also sometimes hesitated to give appointment for interaction.
• Problem was also faced while getting permission in different business firms to
interact with their customers.
• Sometimes it was very difficult to get accurate information from the respondents.

Findings, Conclusion & Recommendations
FINDINGS
The particular research what I have done on topic “Customer’s Perception
Towards the Performance of ICICI Credit Cards with Reference to the City of
Cuttack”, is basically depend on the perception and thinking of the customers. In this
project I have taken the sample of 100 people, means I have asked some questions to
the 100 people, from that only 68 people have the credit card. What they have given
as a answer to my questions is as follows:
• After completing my research I found that only 68 people have credit card
included, ICICI bank. From that number the number of people having ICICI bank
credit card are 41, and rest has different bank credit card.(Q.8)
• The maximum mode of payment is by using credit card, it is 68 in number and the
rest from 100 are using debit card or cash. It make clear that now the people are
looking for more credit card then the debit card or cash.(Q.8)
• Customers always excited to know about some facility in credit card. Maximum
people approx. 85 from 90 are interested to know about some reward in credit
card. So the company should always come up with some reward
program(facility), that will keep the customers attractions towards the credit
card.(Q.11)
• From my research I just come to know that there are still lots of people who are
not satisfied with the ICICI bank credit card service which is bad for the
company. It may harm the image of ICICI bank.(Q.10,Q.6)
• My research showed that still there are lots of people who are interested in ICICI
bank credit card. And many of them are also say that approximately more then 80
people said credit card is necessary for life.(Q.18)
• My research also showed that many people more then 50% are not aware about
type of credit card and timely offer by ICICI bank.(Q.13)
• In my research I also find that among 100 people who are eligible for credit card
they are belong to private sector only. So it is necessary for bank to consider
Govt employee and businessman also.(Q.3)
CONCLUSION
There are 68%(according to my analysis and data collection) people, who have credit
card. They always like to use credit card whenever they need it. These 68% people are a
satisfied with the services and offer given to the credit card holder. Customers have very
54
positive opinion about the ICICI bank credit card. From the collected data about 41 from
68(according to my analysis and data collection) people have ICICI bank credit card
and they are happy with it.
The ICICI bank credit card are very popular among the customers. If they suppose to
be a credit card holder in future the always like to buy a ICICI bank credit card because
of its varieties and its different qualities. ICICI bank has introduced credit card, and all
cards are very much popular in there sectors.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• There is some recommendation for the ICICI bank to get rise in the future. Those
recommendations are:
• Company should tell every term and condition for everything from applying for
credit card to deposit the money while making any customer. There should not be
anything hidden, which may create problem for the customers. If customers will
get any problem then it will became the bad word mouth, which may increase the
number of leaving customers in future.
• Customers want to withdraw some cash which is not benefiting through credit
card, because it has very hard and fast rule. So the company should give some
option for those customers who want to withdraw cash through credit card it will
increase the number of customers.
• There are some customers who have no time to go specially to deposit the money
in ICICI bank. They ask us for some other idea to deposit money but they don’t
have debit account in the ICICI bank so they cannot do anything. So the company
should give option to automatic deduction of money from debit account from any
bank and bank statement will send to the customers, which gives a better comfort
for the customers.
• The company should lower the interest charges on delayed payment.
• Bank should also think about those person having Rs 5000 as minimum salary.
Those person are also interested in credit card.
• The staff of bank should change their behave towards customers.
• Company should think for the advertisement for the card. There is less
advertisement for the credit card, the company should give the ads relating the
benefits given by the company.
