RESUMO: A constante evolução das novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação introduz no mercado empresarial a necessidade de desenvolver métodos de gestão que permitam às empresas adaptar-se às formas emergentes de interacção com clientes. O caso do sector bancário é uma área que exemplifica essa situação. A desmaterialização das relações resultante das inúmeras novas tecnologias disponíveis no mercado, entre as quais o Internet «Banking» (IB), permite a satisfação de quase todas as necessidades do cliente com intervenção humana mínima. Este trabalho analisa o impacto da utilização do IB na relação entre os bancos e os seus clientes particulares. A investigação foi realizada em Portugal e identifica três factores da utilização do IB que reforçam a relação entre as partes: a intensidade de uso do IB, a diversidade de locais de acesso e a diversidade de operações realizadas via IB.

TITLE: The dematerialisation effects on banking relationships due to the Internet and relationships marketing use
ABSTRACT: The new technologies’ evolution has introduced new business methods that allow companies to adapt to the emergent ways of interaction with clients. These innovations are particularly evident in banking. The present challenge in this sector is the dematerialization of customer relationships from the numerous new information and communication technologies available in the market, which allows clients to satisfy almost all their needs with minimum human intervention. This paper analyses the impact of the Internet Banking (IB) in relationships between the banks and their clients. The research was done in Portugal and has identified three factors related with the use of IB which strengthen the relationship between the parts: the intensity of IB use, the diversity of access location sand the diversity of applications.
