Abstract: The banking sector in India has made remarkable progress since the economic reforms in 1991. New private sector banks have brought the necessary competition into the industry and spearheaded the changes towards higher utilization of technology, improved customer service and innovative products. Customers are now becoming increasingly conscious of their rights and are demanding more than ever before. The recent trends show that most banks are shifting from a “product-centric model” to a “customer-centric model” as customer satisfaction has become one of the major determinants of business growth. In this context, prioritization of preferences and close monitoring of customer satisfaction have become essential for banks. Keeping these in mind, an attempt has been made in this study to analyze the factors that are essential in influencing the investment decision of the customers of the public sector banks. For this purpose, Factor Analysis, which is the most appropriate multivariate technique, has been used to identify the groups of determinants. Factor analysis identifies common dimensions of factors from the observed variables that link together the seemingly unrelated variables and provides insight into the underlying structure of the data. Secondly, this study also suggests some measures to formulate marketing strategies to lure customers towards banks.
