Consumer Grievances in Banking – Root Causes
1. Loose control of the regulatory bodies
2. The judicial process itself has a lot of loopholes and is very slow
3. Banks are opportunists; they try to earn as much money as possible from the customer
4. Bank agents see loan as an opportunity to push more products to the customer
5. Agents are not 100% transparent due to the fear of losing the deal
6. Bankers leave terms/margins undefined with customers so they can generate more profit
7. Big pressure on the sales force to achieve the sales numbers
8. Banks want to recover their money by hook or by crook, even if it means going against the guidelines of the Supreme court
9. Customer service of private banks is more focused than public banks
10. People do not know the rules and hence get exploited
11. Banking paperwork is complicated which results in the customer blindly trusting the bank representatives more

I totally disagree that the private sector is better than public sector entities. Due to the weak regulatory environment, lack of knowledge on the part of customers, excessive efforts required to enforce a redress and very low penalties in the event wrong doings are established, the private sector corporate are least concerned about the rights of the customers and pursue their own goals of profits. They do not hesitate to short change and harass the customers if they do not fall in line. A typical method adopted by service providers on receipt of the complaint is to act in a manner that does not leave a legally enforceable right (talk on telephone or send a personal representative). The companies do not record the proceedings and in writing claim that complaint has been resolved. A WRITTEN RECORD SHOULD BE MADE MANDATORY REGULATORS SHOULD UNDERTAKE WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE COMPLAINT TO EMERGE OR WHETHER IT IS DESIGNED FOR SHORT CHANGING OF CUSTOMERS. more  
At this era of mobile banking, there is not enough security or check measures to have control on transactions. Today mobile applications crashed while transferring the money, later tried to do it again. But system had done the transaction twice creating a big challenge. Spoke to customer care and they informed, it can't be reversed or stopped. They need to bring more check mechanism to prevent these critical issues. more  
Either call center concept of banking should be scrapped or officers on call should be made more responsible. there should be mechanism of providing proof to consumers that they made call and requested services. Quiet often I have seen banks deny call / receipt of request more
