MasterCard is accepted at millions of locations around the global. MasterCard began in the 1940s when several U.S. banks started giving their customers specially-issued paper that could be used like cash in local stores. In 1951, The Franklin National Bank in New York formalized the practice by introducing the first real credit card.
Over the next decade, several franchises evolved where a single bank in each major city would accept cards as payment with certain merchants theyd chosen to work with. ON August 16,196, one of the these groups formed the interbank card Association (ICA), which later become MasterCArd International. Unlike other similar organizations, ICA was not dominated by a single bank Member committees were established to run the associatio association. n. They establish established ed rules rules for authoriza authorization tion,, clearing clearing and and sett settle leme ment nt.. They They also also hand handle led d mark market etin ing, g, secu securi rity ty and and global aspects of running the organization. Once the organization was well underway, it was time to expand globally. In 1968, ICA began what is now a huge global network by forming an association with Banco Nacinal in Maxico. Later that year , they formed an alliance in Europe with Eurocard and the first first Japanese’s members joined joined . Many countries followed behind the early international members and by the late 1970s. ICA had members from as far as Africa and Australia. Australia. To reflect reflect the commitement to international international growth, ICA changed its name to MasterCard. In the 1980s, there was future expansion into Asia and Latin America. In 1987, MasterCard become become the first payment card to be issued issued in the
People’s Republic of China. In 1988, the first MasterCard was issued in the Soviet Union. Today, there are over 37 MasterCard offices around the world with the global is accepted in more locations around the world than MasterCard.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARDS CREDIT CARDS
If you carry a balance, credit cards can be like expensive loans made by banks, gasoline companies and department stores. The credit card issuer gives you a card. You use the card to pay for items and services up to certain total amount-your credit “limit” The store merchant or services provider collects what you owe from the card issuer, whom you replay. You’re allowed to pay off what you owe little by little each month, as long as you pay a mini minimu mum m amou amount nt each each time time.. You’ You’re re char charge ged d inte intere rest st on the the balance you owe ( as high as 26% each year) at the end of each peri period od,, unle unless ss you you pay pay the the full full bala balanc nce e each each time time your your bull bull arrives. Credit cards yield profits to their issuers for several reasons. The most important is the high rate of interest-interest on credit cards alone accounts for the bulk of the profit earned by banks that issue credit card, and most companies charge late fees, overthethe-ti time me fees fees and and othe otherr misce miscellllan aneo eous us char charge ges. s. Fina Finalllly, y, the the companies profit by charging merchants and service providers a fee fee each each time time a cust custom omer er uses uses the the comp compan any’ y’s s cred credit it in the the merchant’s establishment.
CHARGE CARDS
Charge cards, also called travel and entertainment cards, are a little different from credit cards. Charge cards, such as American Express and Diners Club, have no credit limit. You can usually charge as much as want, but you are required to pay off your entire balance when your bill arrives, with one exception. It you char charge ge air air fare fare,, crui cruise se fees fees or hote hotels ls fees fees for for a hote hotell room room booked booked throug through h a travel travel agent agent on an Americ American an Expres Express s card, card, you pay off your balance over 36 months. You’ll be charged between 19% and 21% interest and will have to make minimum monthly payments of $20, or 1/36 of your balance, whichever is greater. Charge card companies make their profits by charging very high annual fees- up to $100- and by charging merchants relatively high high fees fees each each time time a cust custom omer er pays pays usin using g the the comp compan any’ y’s s charge card. If you don’t pay your charge card bill in full, you’ll get a onemonth month grace grace perio period, d, when no intere interest st is charge charged. d. After After that, that, you’ll be charged interest that averages about 18%. It you don’t pay pay afte afterr abou aboutt mont months hs,, thre three e mont months hs,, your your acco accoun untt will will be closed and your bill sent s ent to the collections departments.
CASH ADVANCES
Many people use their credit or charge cards to obtain cash advances, Cash advances are generally more expensive than standard credit card charges. Most banks charge a transaction fee up to 4% for taking a cash advance. They also charged interest from the date the cash advance is posted, even if you pay it back in full when your bill comes. Finally , the interest rate is often higher or cash advances than it is on ordinary credit card charges. ATM CARDS
ATM ATM card cards s are issue ssued d by banks nks esse essen ntia tially lly to give bank customers flexibility in their banking hours . in most areas, with an ATM card you can withdraw money, make deposit, transfer, money money betwe between en accou accounts nts,, find find out out your your balan balance, ce, get get a cash cash advance and even make payments at all hours of the day or night. DEBIT CARDS
Debit cards combine the functions of ATM cards and checks. Debit card area issued by banks but are used at stores, not at the banks banks themse themselve lves. s. When you you pay pay with a debit debit card, the the money is automatically deducted from your checking account. Many banks issue a combined ATM/Debit card that looks just
like a credit card and can be used in places where credit cards are accepted. But don’t be mistaken- they are not credit cards. The The mone money y you you spen spend d come comes s out out of your your chec checki king ng acco accoun untt immediately. Man Many peo peopl ple e pre prefer fer deb debit car cards ove over check ecks for two reasons: •
You do not have to carry checkbook and present identification, identification, but are still s till able to make purchases directly from your checking account.
•
You pay your bills immediately, unlike when you use a credit card and get the bill later.
But there are disadvantages to using debit cards. Many people pref prefer er havi having ng 20-2 20-25 5 days days to pay pay thei theirr cred credit it card card bill bills. s. Also Also,, consumers using debit cards don’t have the right to withhold payment payment in the the event event of a dispute dispute with with the the mercha merchant nt over over the the goo goods or serv servic ice es pai paid for for. In add addition tion,, man many banks and merchants charge transaction fees for using debit card. Finally, if debit card number is stolen on the internet, the their may drain your your bank bank acco accoun untt befo before re the the bank bank is able able to comp comple lete te its its investigation. For this reason, it’s better to use credit , rather than debit, cards for online purchase.
CHEQUE GURANTEE CARD

Chip can record data or value or both and can store up to 80 times more information than a magnetic chip.
Terminal on which the card is used has a chip reader in addition to the magnetic stripe reader. CO-BRANDED CARD
Banks enter each into partnership with a non-bank to market credit cards. Both parties are into the alliance for financial gain as the non bank partner is a profit-making company with a good customer base. The bank gains an additional customer base while the non-bank partner can offer credit cards to its members. A customized card for a specific retailer or service provider, such as shoppers Stop that wishes to solicits customers. The issuer looks looks after after the card card opera operatio tions ns while while the co-bra co-brand nded ed partn partner er shared marketing costs and responsibility E.g. Citibank-Jet-Airways Card, HSBC-PNB card. AFFINITY CARDS

CUSTOMER VALUE & SATISFACTION
Over 38 years ago, peter drucker deserved that a company first task is “to create customer”. However, customer face a vast array of product and brand choices, prices, and suppliers. How do they make their choices we believe that customers estimate which offer will delivers the most value customers are value maximizes, within the bound of search costs costs and and limi limite ted d know knowled ledge ge,, mobi mobili lity ty,, and and incom incomee they they form form an expectation of value and act on it. Whether or not the offer lives up to the value expectation offer both satisfaction and repurchase probability.
Our premise is that customer will buy from the firm that they see as offering the highest precision value.
CONSUMER SATISFACTION

Here is big question that how companies can go about wailing custom customers ers and out perfor performin ming g compet competito itors. rs. The answe answerr lies lies in doing a better job of meeting or exceeding customer expectations be coz this is costumer centered era.
“John chambers , CEO of Cisco systems put it will “Make your customer customer the cente centerr of
your culture” culture” companies are adept at
building customers, not just product, they are skilled in market engineering, not just product engineering.
TOTAL CUSTOMER SATISFACTION Whether the buyer is satisfied after purchase depends on the offer’s per perfo form rman ance ce in rela relati tion on to the the buye buyerr expe expect ctat atio ions ns.. In gene genera ral, l, satisfaction is a person’s feelings of pleasure or disappointment resulting from comparing a product’s perceived performance (or out come) in relation to his or her expectations. If the performance fall fallss shor shortt of expe expect ctat atio ions ns the the cust custom omer er is diss dissat atis isfi fied ed.. If the the performance matches the expectations, the customer is satisfied. It the the perf perfor orma manc ncee exce exceed edss expe expect ctat atio ions ns the the cust custom omer er high highly ly,, satisfied or delighted.
MEASURING SATISFACTION
Although the customer centered firm seeks to create high customer sati satisf sfac acti tion on,, that that is not not main main goal goal.. If the the comp compan any y incr increa ease sess cust custom omer er sati satisf sfac acti tion on by lowe loweri ring ng its its pric pricee or incr increa easi sing ng its its services, the result may be lower profits.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Rese Resear arch ch meth method odol olog ogy y is a way way to syst system emat atic ical ally ly solv solvee the the research problem. It my be understood as a science of studying how research is done systematically systematically & scientifically. In it we study the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem along with the logic behind them.
Researcher also need to understand the assumptions underlying various techniques they need to know the criteria by which they can decide that certain techniques & procedures will be applicable to the certain problems and other will not.
The scope of research methodology is wider than that of research method. Thus when we talk of research methodology we will not only talk of the research method but also consider the logic behind the the meth method odss we use use in the the cont contex extt of our our rese resear arch ch stud study y and and explain why we are using a particular method or techniques and why we are not using others so that the research result are capable of being either by researcher himself or others. Why a research study undertaken, how the research problem has been undertaken, how the research problem has been define, in what way and why the hypothesis has been formulated.

•
There may be some disepecies in views as some, people might give false information in questionnaire, as they might not be in filling the form.
