The idea of competition that occurs as a result of the free market or the ASEAN single market requires business organizations, one of which is the banking business, to be ready to face it. Competition in banking is no longer only among high-level banks in Indonesia, but already includes banks in the ASEAN region. Apart from that, the existence of a free market provides an opportunity for foreign banks to enter and be established in Indonesian territory. Thus all Indonesian banks must be ready to face it. On the other hand, seen from indicators of banking competitiveness. Indonesia is still in a low ranking. Forsyth . stated for the organizationwho market professional services efforts to grow, achieve profits, and to get ahead is not as easy as it used to A more active approach is needed, including a strategic marketing approach that enables organizations to overcome competition, grow and perform high. Yulia HenryYeni . states that in a hypercompetitive environment, the competitive strategy needed by every organization is a strategy that is able to improve performance so that it can be well received by the target market. Characteristics of Indonesian banking customersfor various reasons they still put their money in banks in Singapore. Indeed, it is alleged that some customers from Indonesia kept their money in Singapore banks as a result of past crimes, but we also know that Singapore has complete financial and banking services, so to Assaf. /International Journal of Education.

All banking services in Singapore can be accessed online by utilizing excellent information technology facilities. This shows that the world of bankingIndonesia still needs to continue to improve itself in order to be able to provide services that customers can really feel the added value of, so that customers with deep pockets who currently keep their money in a number of banks in Indonesia will remain loyal, and it is also hoped that Indonesians will those who previously parked their money overseas will bring it back in and deposit it in a domestic bank. If the country's banking conditions are really healthy and trusted by the majority of money owners, it is hoped that capital flows will return to Indonesia and of course development in Indonesia will become even faster. As a general illustration according to Mc. Kinsey research& Co, . in Indonesia, respondents from consumer banking, they are very loyal to their banks, especially top banks such as BCA. BNI. Bank Mandiri. Bank Danamon. Bank Niaga. CitiBank and Standard Chartered, and are also very satisfied with services, but they also still want to change banks, if other banks provide services according to their wishes. Regardless of the survey, customer behavior is quite diverse, but the problem is that the level of competition for customers is getting higher. addition, foreign banks are starting to fight for the same market, and foreign banks have the advantage of having a big worldwide name, a sophisticated product selection, and a global network. NowadaysThe banking sector has begun to actively capture public funds by offering various attractions. Starting from giving prizes in large amounts of rupiah to offering easy service and withdrawing funds.

In the development of the banking business worldwho are increasingly competitive, are no longer solely looking for profit, but must have a commitment to serving social interests. Corporate Social Responsibility, which is then written as CSR, is an indicator that a company is committed to implementing good corporate governance (Good Corporate Governanc. CSR Implementationin Indonesia, the background is the mandate of the 1945 Constitution regarding the national economy and social welfare that must be regulated by the state for the greatest possible prosperity of the people. Based on this, the implementation of CSR in Indonesia is something that is important to do, both from a legal perspective and government regulations.

Because it contains "investment and social cost". This means that if you don't do it, it will create social risks that will eventually disrupt your investment. This is in accordance with the mandate of Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies. It is hoped that this fact will make the business world increasingly aware that companies are no longer faced with making a profit, but must also pay attention to social and environmental aspects. In East Java, many companies are reluctant to implement CSR programs with the argument that they have already paid taxes and fees. There are companies that carry out CSR programs as mere lip service and are forced to implement CSR programs. There are also companies that seek to fulfill their CSR responsibilities. Analysismeta of 52 studies conducted by. Orlitzky. Schmidt. FL & Rynes. Sl . found that the kindness of companies through CSR is positively responded to by society. This is reflected in the existence of a significant positive relationship between CSR disclosure and company performance. Costs for CSR activities are covered by CSR benefits, especially with regard to employee morale and productivity. In its development, investors are more interested in investing their capital in companies that are environmentally friendly. The results of research by Guthrie J & Parker LD . indicate that corporate ethical behavior in the form of social responsibility towards the surrounding environment has a positive impact, which in the long run will be reflected in company profits.

Companies with a high CSR reputation can also attract employees to work better or increase employee goodwill so that this will improve company performance (Davis, 1973. McGuire. , et al, 1988.

PLS obtained the following model. Picture 2. Results of Overall Analysis Based onthe picture above, seen from the magnitude of the path coefficient can be explained as follows: Marketing communication has a very weak influence on banking marketing performance . Commitment to implementing CSRbank formed by marketing communications with a significant and quite close level of influence, which is equal to 22. CSR implementation commitmenthas a very weak influence on banking marketing performance . Marketing performancenot supported significantly by marketing communications, with a contribution of 0. 67%), a very weak influence. And according to Guilford can be ignored. Likewise, marketing performance is not significantly influenced by corporate social responsibility (CSR) with a magnitude of 0. 63%) with a very low contribution. However, the bank's marketing performance is indirectly influenced by marketing communications through the commitment to implementing corporate social responsibility with a strong level of influence, which is equal to 32. The results of this study do not support the results of previous studies which indicate that there is a sizable direct influence from marketing communications on marketing performance, and corporate social responsibility on marketing performance. Based on the explanation in no1 to number 4 above, it can be seen that the achievement of bank marketing performance will be realized if the bank is able to implement responsive marketing communications through a commitment to implementing corporate social responsibility in a conducive and targeted manner. Thus the results of this study can be stated that the commitment to implementing - 196 - Assaf. /International Journal of Education.

Thus, in the end this research produces a new research model, as seen in figure 2. Picture 3. Marketing Communication Influence Model On pictureFigure 1 and Figure 2 show a difference, where Figure 2 does not show a significant direct effect of marketing communications on performance, and commitment to implementing CSR has a very low effect on marketing performance. because the effect is not significant and the contribution is so small that it can be CONCLUSION Based onthe results of research and discussion of this study, it can be concluded as follows: Marketing performancethe bank has not achieved optimally in terms of customer loyalty. Likewise. CSR in the environment is also considered to be still not in line with expectations. Marketing performance is not directly influenced by marketing communications and CSR implementation commitments. a determining factor for achieving banking marketing performance. Marketing communicationsresponsive and targeted CSR implementation. Thus, banking performance is indirectly influenced by the commitment to implement CSR which is supported by appropriate marketing communications. This means that marketing performance cannot be realized optimally directly by marketing communications and CSR implementation commitments. BIBLIOGRAPHY
