Re-making the banking sector
Article Abstract:
The Australian banking industry is more competitive in 1999 than it was in the 1980s. The industry's focus has turned to the maximization of profits and the improvement of shareholder values. Relationships between customers and banks have changed as a result. For example, customers generally have to pay for services as they need them instead of paying higher fees for a set group of services.
