Abstract	Customer trust has become essential to long-term success and sustainability in the quickly changing world of digital banking. The task of building and preserving trust has grown more difficult as consumers engage with banks more frequently via digital channels in contrast with conventional physical locations. Customer relationship management, or CRM, is essential in this situation, as it is a strategic tool for raising customer happiness, loyalty, and engagement. This study examines how crucial CRM is to establishing and maintaining long-term client trust in online banking. It investigates how CRM systems help clients feel dependable and transparent through customization, real-time communication, smooth service delivery, and data security. The research explores how CRM technology, through behavioral data analysis, customer feedback management, and tailored solutions, assists banks in comprehending and meeting the demands of their customers. The need for proactive service, consistency across digital platforms, and emotional connection in building relationships based on trust is emphasized. Additionally, the study emphasizes how crucial data privacy and cybersecurity are to CRM systems, as consumers' perceptions of the security of their financial and personal data are directly related to their propensity to trust digital platforms. The study offers insights into how top banks are using CRM solutions to enhance customer retention and competitive positioning. The study is based on secondary data and quantitative analysis. The results show that, in a digital-first banking ecosystem, CRM is more than just a customer service tool; it is a strategic framework for building enduring trust, boosting brand credibility, and ensuring customer loyalty. The study comes to the conclusion that banks looking to establish deep, enduring connections with digitally empowered clients must integrate intelligent CRM technologies. The study focuses mainly on Indian banks with reference to global standards.
