The quality of the relationship and the consequences of the customer relationship :
Losing customers negatively affects the market share and the profits of companies, especially banks. Several studies show that when the customer leaves the service provider and to another provider The loss of additional profits, initial investment costs on the customer, and additional costs of customer retrieval will be replaced. For the above reasons, as well as the competition, the discussion about customer withdrawal is necessary. (Colgate and Hutch 2001). The impact of e-CRM in the banking sector and the good preservation of CRM systems can be a long-term relationship make customers more productive and profitable. Banks must recognize the strategic role of CRM and the diversity and variety of needs of different customers. In addition, professional staff must be hired by the banks to work against the complexity of the system and an effective way. Gupta (2013). Focusing on highlighting the critical role of IT in enhancing customer engagement experience, where E-CRM content is similar to CRM. The banking industry uses IT to facilitate the use of information, customer profiles, flow control, cost reduction, and maintenance of partnerships. Technologies, customers and processes three The components that ensure the success of banking operations in this constantly changing environment. E-CRM is the most important word in business today and is perceived as one of the most effective tools in the banking sector. So banks are struggling to expand their core customers. Singh and Cyrus (2014). Many companies have combined the concepts of CRM and knowledge management to better serve their customers and make use of such information effective. Others consider e-CRM as an Internet banking app and they are researching on this perspective Mousavian and Jalili (2017).
( Gonaris et al. 2003) have done research on the quality of banking services as a precondition for the quality of perceived services: an exploratory study in the banking industry, the result of this study has examined the factors affecting customer perceptions about banks' quality. And identify. Types of quality are: system quality, quality of information and quality of service.

communication channels
respond quickly to customers' requests and supporting them (Alagheband 2006) . 4 formed by the fact that a customer has a complete relationship with a business firm It takes note of various deals. The quality of the relationship involves several key elements that express the overall nature of the relationship between companies and their customers. The main structures of the relationship quality As a result, the three most frequently identified structures are: Confidence, Satisfaction and Commitment .

Confidence
Everything that can provide satisfaction and customer satisfaction. (Rezaian 1387). Confidence effects on the stability of the relationship and the overall quality of the relationship. Gröners pointed out in 1990 that it is important to ensure that high-quality relationships are created.

Satisfaction
Satisfaction is a positive feeling that occurs in any person after the use of the goods or the receipt of services, if the goods and services received by the customer meet his expectations, he will feel satisfied if the level of service and the commodity is higher than the expectations of the customer, it will lead to dissatisfaction. (Rezaian 1387). Ostbrock and Grownorz (1994) defined customer satisfaction as a cognitive and emotional customer assessment based on their personal experiences across service flows in this regard . 1.2.5 loyalty, Maintenance, the tendency to compromise E-CRM and customer loyalty. The advent of new technologies has led to a shift from CRM to E-CRM, and with increasing global penetration of the internet, e-CRM has become a more popular communication tool and relationship-building platform (Lam et al. 2013). Organizations, therefore, are keen to deploy different types of e-CRM strategies to attract, maintain, and enhance customer relationships, which contribute to loyalty and the organization's success (Chess Media Group and Lieberman, 2010; Yun and Good, 2007). However, relationship management is an initiative that requires commitment, strategic CRM tenets and a correct mindset in order for it to succeed (Govender, 2004). Tanveer (2009) postulates that e-CRM infrastructure provides support to valuable customers to remain loyal, since information stored in the e-CRM database assists an organization to look at the actual cost of attracting and retaining customers. The firm can also access new international customers and seize valuable data essential to the firm's competitiveness and market share (Harrigan, Ramsey and Ibbotson, 2009). Azila and Noor (2011) assert that the association between e-CRM and customer loyalty means that the more customers are satisfied, they repurchase and spread positive word-of-mouth about the service and the provider, which tends to result in longer relationships, trust in, and commitment to the service provider. As such, loyalty will continue to play crucial roles in the organization's competitiveness and profitability (Rahman, 2006). This is supported by some researchers (Gorondutse, Hilman and Nasidi, 2014; Hayes, 2008; Khan and Fasih, 2014; Olupot and Kituyi, 2013) who have suggested that e-CRM impacts on loyalty.

Theoretical framework (model development)
Zarean (2009) In his thesis entitled "Investigating the Role of Information Technology in the Establishment of E-CRM" (E-CRM), concluded that the information technology in CRM was used to evolve into E-CRM. In this way E-CRM does not market traditional marketing, but empowers it. One of these enablers is the IT tools that marketers can use to develop an online technology.
Shams (2006) concluded in his thesis titled "Electronical Customers Relationship Management, the Management Relationship Bridge for Business and Information Technology (ICT)" concluded that in today's competitive environment, organizations need to maintain their valuable customers in order to maintain competition. The method that can be used to reach customer loyalty is to provide them with personalized service. CRM now provides the customer with two types of services. Customer relationship management is a comprehensive approach that ensures to increase relationship with all customers. These customers include the Internet or electronic customers, members of distribution channels, and service providers .
Knowing each customer through the techniques of data warehousing and customer business strategy helps the organization actively sell more products and services to maintenance a good and loyal customer.
Moezi (2012) in his thesis titled "Correlation between the determinants of electronic customer relationship management system (E-CRM) and customer satisfaction in Golsar Fars sanity " From this research, Golsar Fars Company's decision makers have the ability to determine the correlation between the elements shown in the research framework and make more informed decisions for the future of the E-CRM system of the company, and, by examining the changes in each of the model variables, changing the rest of the variable. It is a promising signal that there is a positive and reliable correlation between (information quality) and (customer system performance and customer satisfaction). This point can be gleaned from Golsar Fars Company to further enhance the E-CRM system of the company and to find out A higher level of customer satisfaction What was the quality of investment information, as a more general conclusion, it can be said that by investing in E-CRM information and services, it could be expected to enhance the performance of a well-considered organization.
Tanweer (2009), in his thesis titled "Electronic Customer Relationship Management (CMS) in Online Banking", aims to investigate how to Electronic Customer Relationship Management with banks using this tool, E-CRM, and how successful implementation this tool was in banks. A qualitative survey on both banks, one in Sweden and the other in Denmark, took a look at internal E-CRM measures. Results showed that banks use E-CRM for customer-friendly bulk, customer status descriptions, self-determination, interactions with one-to-one automated wafer The flow of financial data, such as collateral, which ultimately leads to a decline in revenue No performance and increase customer loyalty and more profitability.Also, employee training and customer feedback are considered key pillars of the successful implementation of E-CRM.
Sivares (2011) and his colleagues in a study entitled "The Impact of E-CRM (E-CRM) on the Quality and Consequences of Customer-Bank Relations" in Thailand, concluded that: a field study A complete survey of 684 Customers of Thai Business Banks. A special service pattern and a model of quality and relevance were created, verified and verified.

The findings based on correlation and multiple regression analyses, revealed that pre-service, during (the) service and post transactional e-CRM features have a positive and significant relationship with loyalty, and that the pre-service and during the service features significantly predict loyalty. Thus, enhancing e-CRM practices could be a strategic competitive tool to impact the banks' relationship with their customers.

. Findings
In this study, hypothesis testing is performed using structural equation modeling using Lizrel software. One of the basic points in structural equation models, such as the measurement model (confirmatory factor analysis), is the fitting indices that can be relied upon and used when the model is appropriate. If the indexes of NFI, NNFI, and CFI are greater than 0.90 and RMSEA is less than 0.08, then fitting the model is appropriate .
All eight of the research hypotheses have a proper fit and positive effect. In Figures 2 and 3, the results of the standard coefficients and the direction of the structural model of the research have been shown.
In Table 4, fit indices and Table 5 summarize the results of testing the main and secondary hypotheses along with the regression coefficient and the partial index values of each hypothesis.

. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION:
The main goal of this research is: the E-CRM on the relationships quality and it's consequences: evidence from Iranian the private banks, that the E-CRM in the Private Bank has a positive and significant relationship with the quality and consequence of customer relationships with the bank. The results of testing this hypothesis make it clear that the standard regression coefficient is 0.87. Since the value of the T-statistic is greater than 1.96, our hypothesis is confirmed; that is, the E-CRM in the Private Bank has a significant and significant impact on the quality and consequence of the customer relationship. This conclusion is consistent with the results of studies by Sivaraks, Krairit, Tang (2011).
The E-CRM in the Private Bank has a significant positive correlation with the customer communication channels with the bank. The results of this hypothesis test show that the standard regression coefficient is larger, so our hypothesis is confirmed; that is, E-CRM in the Private Bank has a significant and significant impact on the customer communication channels. This conclusion is consistent with the results of studies by Sivaraks, Krairit, Tang (2011).According to the results of the review of the first hypothesis, it seems that customer and customer orientation are needed in the eyes mortgages will be included in the Private Bank and workshops will be held to train "continuous customer relations" for employees and managers of the bank. In electronic devices, customer relationship management, chat services and forum development for customers who have questions or problems regarding electronic banking operations; therefore, a list of common questions frequently asked by customers is required. Be prepared and included with the answer on the site. The most commonly asked questions should be made available to the customer as a matter of urgency so that they can select the subject from the list if necessary. Additionally, you should always have a direct link to the linked page .
The E-CRM in the Private Bank has a significant positive correlation with the overall quality of customer relationships with the bank. The results of testing this hypothesis make it clear that the standard regression coefficient is bigger, so our hypothesis is confirmed; that is, the management of communication with electronic customers at Bank Private Bank has a significant and significant impact on the overall customer quality. This conclusion is consistent with the results of studies by Sivaraks, Krairit, Tang (2011). A similar study by Abdulfattah (2012) investigated the effects of various e-CRM features at different stages of the transaction cycle, on customer satisfaction on banks' websites. The aforementioned researcher also established that e-CRM influences customer relationships and enhances online customer satisfaction and service quality.
According to the results, the banking system should provide the services needed by the current community in line with the market structure and provide acceleration of growth and economic well-being of the country. In this way, it is important to examine the factors affecting the overall quality of customer relationship; therefore, considering the importance of the overall quality of customer relationship, bank managers must understand the implementation of e-CRM and, consequently, the overall quality of customer relationship as a profit factor and pay attention to this.
The E-CRM in the Private Bank has a significant positive relationship with customer confidence. The results of testing this hypothesis make it clear that the standard regression coefficient is bigger, so our hypothesis is confirmed; that is, the E-CRM in the Private Bank has a significant and significant effect on customer confidence. This is consistent with the results of the studies by Sivaraks, Krairit, Tang (2011). Considering the results of the third hypothesis on the security features used in conducting banking operations, it should be informed in a part of the bank's electronic tools in order to increase the trust and confidence of the customers.. Also, the bank can guarantee in its terms and conditions of using its electronic banking that, in case of non-compliance with the privacy of customer accounts, it will pay damages to increase the customer's confidence in this way.
The E-CRM in the Private Bank has a significant positive relationship with customer satisfaction. The results of testing this hypothesis make it clear that the standard regression coefficient is bigger, so our hypothesis is confirmed; the E-CRM in the Private Bank has a significant and significant effect on customer satisfaction. This conclusion is consistent with the results of the studies by Sivaraks, Krairit, Tang (2011). while Alim and Ozuem (2014) concluded that E-CRM is effective in strengthening relationships with customers and promoting the development of an attractive virtual community, which further enhances satisfaction. According to the results, the banking system, customers should consider themselves valuable assets and ask all their subsystems to use their best endeavors to satisfy customers because the likelihood of repeating and verifying the type of service by a loyal customer is satisfactory. It is therefore wise for the bank to regularly assess and evaluate the customer satisfaction from their point of view.
The E-CRM in the Private Bank has a significant positive correlation with customer loyalty. The results of this hypothesis test have made it clear that the standard regression coefficient is bigger, so our hypothesis is confirmed; that is, the E-CRM in the Private Bank has a significant and significant effect on customer loyalty. This conclusion is consistent with the results of the studies by Sivaraks, Krairit, Tang (2011).
Alhaiou (2011) who studied the relationship between e-CRM features and e-loyalty on online shoppers at the different stages of transaction cycle argued that the use of e-CRM in building consumer relationships affects online consumer satisfaction and loyalty, Rabbai (2013) confirmed the effect of e-CRM on customer loyalty.
According to the results, in the banking system, customers are the main focus, and in fact all the work is to attract satisfaction and attraction; therefore, in the competitive environment between banks, banks are more successful, which can be more loyal to customers. On the other hand, in view of the customers becoming more sensitive to the provision of services by banks, they always want to provide better and better service. Ultimately, if the banking system wants to establish loyalty to customers, then it is necessary to maintain the customer's responsibility as its most important task. The banking system must consider its customers valuable assets and ask all its subsystems to use their best efforts to attract, maintain and loyal customers, since the likelihood of repeating and verifying the type of service by the customer is loyal to the customer; It is wise for the bank to regularly evaluate and evaluate the customer loyalty from their point of view .
The E-CRM in the Private Bank has a significant positive correlation with customer retention. The results of testing this hypothesis make it clear that the standard regression coefficient is bigger, so our hypothesis is confirmed; that is, the E-CRM in the Private Bank has a significant and significant effect on customer retention. This conclusion is consistent with the results of the studies by Sivaraks, Krairit, Tang, (2011) and Tanveer (2009). Considering the results of the sixth hypothesis, finally, if a banking system wants to establish customer loyalty, then it should be the duty of customer preservation to be considered as its most important task.The banking system must consider its customers valuable assets and ask all its subsystems to use their best efforts to attract, maintain and loyal customers, since the likelihood of repeating and verifying the type of service by the customer is loyal to the customer; It is wise to regularly assess and evaluate the bank's healthy banking competition in their own way.
The E-CRM in the Private Bank has a significant positive correlation with the willingness to compromise. The results of testing this hypothesis make it clear that the standard regression coefficient is bigger, so the hypothesis is confirmed; that is, the E-CRM in the Private Bank has a significant and significant effect on the willingness to compromise. This conclusion is consistent with the results of the study by Sivarax, Curarite and Tang (2011). According to the results of the review, time and speed in the relationship between e-bank and customer, an important issue is that the bank should work towards improving this feature. The bank constantly updates its software and hardware equipment, so that it can always serve customers at higher speeds, otherwise the risk of loss of customers will increase. In response to customer issues, it is imperative that e-mails be answered promptly so that customers believe that follow-up authorities are their issues.

Executive Suggestions
The findings of this study have interesting implications for the role of information technology manager, public relations and senior marketing manager of the bank. In the analytical review, the findings of this study resulted in the following recommendations : 1. The management of technology and information and public relations management of the bank should pay particular attention to the more precise design of the website of the bank. Therefore, it is possible to quickly and without the need for additional effort to use internet banking services. Different stages of Internet banking and customer relationship management, It must be designed in such a way that after each step, the user can easily and easily lead the next step. Whatever, It is easier to use the system, it accepts and communicates more easily and benefits its users. In fact, a step-by-step guide to using electronic and Internet services and increasing the number of e-customers requires the creation of culture through both the electronic channels and the bank's website, as well as through the bank's promotional and educational brochures available to customers, and most importantly Learning and transferring it through partners at Private Bank Branches can help to manage communication with electronic customers . The government can also provide assistance by providing the necessary facilities to provide better electronic and
