5. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BANKER AND CUSTOMER
The relationship between a customer and a banker depends on the activities, services or products provided by the bank to its customers or availed by the customers. The relationship between a banker and a customer is a transactional relationship. A bank’s business depends on the strong bondage with the customer. Trust plays an important role in building this strong bondage between a banker and a customer.
When does a legal relationship begin?
When two parties enter into negotiation, or a transaction, that are perceivable as a part of a contract intended by the parties to be concluded in future, a relationship of a legal nature is presumed to begin. Thus, where a person asks the banker to open an account for him, and is yet to lodge cash or a cheque for collection, a contractual relation is said to arise. The actual transactions in the account will only strengthen the relationship in terms of the benefits and obligations flowing from a contract.

Employees were using the cross-selling which is a concept of attempting to sell multiple products to consumers. This concept led to fraudulent actions, in fact employees were encouraged to order credit cards for pre-approved customers without their consent, and to use their own contact information when filling out requests to prevent customers from discovering the fraud. " The Wells Fargo scandal was far different. Instead of a select few doing bad things, the unethical behavior was widespread at the bank, with thousands of employees engaged in secretly creating new bank and credit-card accounts for customers without their knowledge, resulting in overdraft and other fees." (Kouchaki, 2016). According to the Los Angeles City Attorney, employees were opening and funding accounts without customers' permission or knowledge in order to "satisfy sales goals and earn financial rewards under the bank's incentive-compensation program."

In fact, they were pressured by aggressive goals and performance which led them to immoral behaviors. Facing this problem, Wells Fargo bank had to take some measures to avoid bankruptcy, losing customers, or loosing brand

The law governing bail in India is inadequate uncertain and above the ground. The working of the system is also unsatisfactory. The administration of criminal justice has recognized that a bail decision is a recurring one, which takes place through a number of distinct stages. It also recognizes that pre trial release by the police on bail is within the purview of the bail system. Further bail can be granted before the accused makes an appearance before the court or before the verdict of the trial is passed and even after he has been declared guilty and convicted in order to enable him to avail the appeal process.

Both from the customer and the company point of view, each customer interaction is part of an iterative learning process (Ballantyne, 2004). Further, Yau et al. (2000) advocated that the relationships between business firms and its customers have been constantly encouraged as successful business practices worldwide. The strategy of relationship marketing is of high relevance particularly in the service industries because of the intangible nature of service and their high level of customer interaction (Al-Hersh, Aburoub, & Saaty, 2014). Relationship marketing is defined as the process of engaging in proactively creating, developing and maintaining committed, interactive and profitable exchanges with targeted customers (Haker, 1999). Furthermore, Gronroos (1990) asserted that relationship marketing is to establish, maintain, enhance and commercialise customer relationship so that the objectives of the parties involved are met which can be done by a mutual exchange and fulfillment of promises. Moreover, the implementation of the relationship marketing concept at the operational level refers to relationship marketing orientation (Hau & Ngo, 2012). Relationship marketing orientation indicates the firms’ philosophy of doing business concerning relationship building by propagating developing trust, empathy, bonding, and reciprocity between a firm and its customers (Sin et al., 2005a, b; Tse et al., 2004).

Offshore banking is the action of having a bank account outside of the country of residence. Since its start, offshore banking has become a considerably lucrative business. Many of those who take part in offshore banking are looking for a secure location to place their income or seize the opportunity of having lower taxes. However, there are those who misuse the privilege of a foreign bank and use the business ventures for illegal actions rather than the original purpose of the dealings. Offshore banks seem to have an impartial acceptance of quite a few clients within the bank that create a lower standard of ethics in contrast to the ethics meant to be held—this includes those of a political position. Furthermore, this has the potential to be detrimental to the economy.
The topic offers a brief discussion on investment banking and its relationship with the research division. Investment banking acts as an intermediary between investors and corporate issuance firms during initial public offerings (IPO’s). It also performs various functions such as aiding firms in mergers and acquisitions. In addition, investment banking relies heavily on information regarding market intelligence. This necessitates the importance of a research department that performs the duty of carrying out research on the market conditions. However, there is a conflict of interest since investment banking relies on this research to capitalize their gains. As a result, the Global Research Analyst Settlement found it necessary to formalize separation of these two departments in order to prevent exchange of information (Morrison and Foerster 2).
