Banks today face a world of competition and opportunities. Traditionally, banks and financial institutions have reached their customers through the use of branch networks. However, a number of factors have led banks to rethink their channel marketing strategies. These factors include: 

	Rapid growth of the Internet
	Demands on time as a limited resource
	Rising branch real estate expenses
	Changing HR and IT infrastructures
	Fierce competition

These changes require banks to provide services to their customers anytime, anywhere, anyhow - in effect, creating branchless, borderless banks. Becoming a successful player in the New Economy requires a plan, a strategy, and methodical execution.
Banks of all sizes are competing for the same pool of customers. Here are some questions to consider:

	What is your current Internet status?
	Are you benefiting from the opportunities that the Internet offers your business?
	What electronic services are you using and how are they made available to your customers?
	How is your bank coping with developing and implementing an Internet solution?
