To thrive in this dynamic market environment, banks have realized that they must implement E-CRM to enhance and improve the enduring relationship with their customers.

The data is collected using a questionnaire from the 300 customers (150 each from public and private sector banks) of Delhi/NCR who are using E-CRM services. The data is analyzed using independent t-test and multiple regression analysis. The results reveal that all six dimensions of E-CRM have a significant positive relationship with customer loyalty. This empirical results of the study will have academic and managerial implications as they will contribute to the existing knowledge base and help E-CRM managers in the decision-making process. Improving E-CRM practices will thus turn out to be a strategic competitive strategy for banks to establish interactions with their customers.
