CHAPTER ONE

Introduction

Banks are the most important functionary of financial system of a country. They play a dynamic role in the allocation of credit to the productive sectors. They divert and employ the funds in such avenues which are aimed to develop a country’s economy and add to national wealth. Banks transfer the funds from resigns where it is available in plenty to where it can be efficiently utilized. Banks offer necessary finance to set up and run the industries and provide finance to agriculture and other sectors which can create opportunities for the development of national resources and provide employment on a large scale. Inefficiencies in the financial market and institutions inhibit the formal financial sector from performing the proper intermediation services, which have adverse effects on the economic development of Bangladesh. Bank in general performs three basic functions valued by the overall economy.

q One of these functions is the centralization of credit evaluation and monitoring, which produces information that cannot be easily made public by the borrower. This centralization exploits cost economies and, together with diversified loan portfolio, lowers the price of credit.

q Second, Banks offer transformation services that convert claims issued by borrowers into instruments that in investors are willing to hold. These claims may be transformed with respect to their maturity, liquidity and credit risk. This special role of banks derives from the social welfare enhancements that can be realized when banks co-ordinate the funding of these illiquid assets with liquid liabilities.

q Third, banks provide access to payments system and to a clearinghouse for transactions. Public policies to attain safe and sound banking have traditionally been focused on methods to assure the continuous and efficient functioning of their transactions and payments mechanism.

For efficient operation in the banking sector skilled and talented personnel are also needed. On this point of view, this report is prepared to gather adequate knowledge about the operating procedure of the commercial banks of Bangladesh. In this regard the experiences and knowledge gathered during the period of practical orientation and working as an internee in the National Bank Ltd. Pagla Bazar Branch was manipulated.

Background of the study:

Banking sector in Bangladesh has been flourished during last few decades. It results due to the adoption of privatization policy. Until, Government sector owned, controlled and operated financial sector of Bangladesh with the objective of allocating funds to priority sectors. Loan recovery was not emphasized because the loans were ultimately collectible.

the quality of financial intermediation, judged by loan recovery rates, was dismal. But it is a matter of fact that the financial system was not efficient and failed to attain its objective. Then government decides to reform the financial sector and commercial banks now a day have proved themselves as the life blood of modern economy in Bangladesh. No business, trade, exports, imports. Production, all other economic activities can run without the aid of banking. So understanding the above circumstances, I being a business undergraduate student, become interested in the banking sector. Since internship program is the integral part of the MBA program, completed my internship program in one of the commercial bank named National Bank Limited. I was placed in the NBL, Pagla Bazar Branch and conducted practical training of banking activities for three months from 26, December 2006 to 27, March 2007. It was the requirement of MBA program to perform a study about the internship. This report is the outcome of the study.

Objective of the Report

The objective of the internship program is to familiarize myself with the real market situation, to compare them with the business’ theories & at the last stage make a report on the task. The main objective of this report is to review the General Banking Activities of National Bank Ltd. I tried my best to know how the Bank is providing facilities to its clients & to suggest remedial measure for the development of overall banking activities if required. In addition, the study seeks to achieve the following objectives:

♣ To review the present position of National Bank Ltd.

Limitations of the Study:

The present study was not out of limitations. But as an intern it was a great opportunity for me to know the banking activities of Bangladesh especially National Bank Ltd. Some restraints are disclosed bellow:

♣ The main constraint of the study is insufficiency of information, which was required for the study. There are various information the bank employee can’t provide due to security and other corporate obligations.

♣ Due to time limitations many of the aspects could not be discussed in the present report.

♣ Every organization has their own secrecy that is not revealed to others. While collecting data through interviewing the employees, they did not disclose much information for the sake of the confidentiality of the organization.

♣ Since the bank personals were very busy, they could provide me very little time.

♣ Another significant problem faced during the preparation of this report was the contradictory explanation of a single subject by different employee.

♣ The clients were very busy to provide me much time for interview.

♣ I carried out such a study for the first time, so in experience is one of the main constraints of the study.

CHAPTER TWO

Background/History of NBL

National Bank Limited has its prosperous past, glorious present, prospective future and under processing projects and activities. Established as the first private sector Bank fully owned by Bangladeshi entrepreneurs, NBL has been flourishing as the largest private sector Bank with the passage of time after facing many stress and strain.

Keeping the target in mind NBL has taken preparation to open new branches by the year 2007.

The emergence of National Bank Ltd. in the private sector is an important event in the Banking arena of Bangladesh. When the nation was in the grip of severe recession, Govt. took the farsighted decision to allow in the private sector to revive the economy of the country. Several dynamic entrepreneurs came forward for establishing a bank with a motto to revitalize the economy of the country.

From the very inception it is the firm determination of National Bank Limited to play a vital role in the national economy. We are determined to bring back the long forgotten taste of banking services and flavors. We want to serve each one promptly and with a sense of dedication and dignity.

The then President of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh Justice Ahsanuddin Chowdhury inaugurated the bank formally on March 28, 1983 but the first branch at 48, Dilkusha Commercial Area, Dhaka started commercial operation on March 23, 1983. The 2nd Branch was opened on 11th May 1983 at Khatungonj, Chittagong.

Now NBL is on line to establish trade and communication with the Prime International banking companies of the world. As a result NBL will be able to build a strong root in international banking horizon. Bank has been drawing arrangement with well conversant money transfer service agency “Western Union”. It has a full time arrangement for speedy transfer of money all over the world.

This department is one of the most significant departments in the bank. Loan and advance department is Warming vital role by financing the various sectors in the economy, expressing the close and intensive supervision of the project to ensure satisfactory performance of the economy.

Investment decision is one of the most import decisions that have to make by the management of the bank. A big portion of income of commercial Bank comes from investment. The bank, there are an investment committee. They shall perform and be responsible for the following to check daily deposit, investment and other advances of the bank and find out lend able surplus fund and invest in call market or in short term bonds as decided to cheque cash reserve requirement and till requirement 10 meet customers need.

Bilks make loans and advances to general customers, trades, businessmen and industrialist against the security of some assets or on the basis of persona! security of the borrower Generally the bank lends money from our of the deposits at various rates of interest higher then those paid by him on the deposits, in is the practice te incest up to 70-75%ofihe amount of the deposit.

Principles of lending

The principle of lending is a collection of certain accepted time tested standards, which ensure the proper use of loan fund in a profitable way and its timely recovery- Every person should follow the five principles in its lending activity. This are describe given below :—

a) Safety:

Safety should be the prior importance in the time of sanctioning the loan at the time of maturity the borrower may not willing or may unable to pay the loan amount so in the time of sanction the loan. At the time of maturity the borrower may not willing or may unable to pay the loan amount. So, in the time of sanctioning the loan adequate securities should be taken from the borrowers to recover the loan. Banker should not sacrifice safely for pro /liability.

b) Security:

Banker should be careful in the selection of security to maintain the safety of the loan. Banker should property evaluate the proper value of the security. If the estimated value is less than or equal to loan amount, the loan should be given against such securities. In the time of valuing the securities the Banker should be more conservative.

c) Liquidity:

Banker should consider the liquidity of the loan in time of sanctioning it. Liquidity is necessary to meet the consumer need.

d) Adequate Yield:

As a commercial organization Banker should consider the profitability. So banker should consider the interest rate when go for lending. Always Banker should fix such an interest rate for its lending which should be higher than its savings deposit interest rate_.To ensure this profitability Banker should consider the prospect of the project.

e) Diversity:

Banker should minimize the portfolio risk by putting its fund in the different fields. It bank put all its loan able fund in one sector it will increase the risk. Banker should distribute its loan able fund in different sectors. So if it faces any problem in any sector it can be covered by the profit of another sector.

CHAPTER SIX: CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION OF NBL

Conclusion

Conclusion is a ending part of my internship report in which I have given finishing about all those things which have learned during my internship period.

National Bank is a third generation Bank is the growing banking sector of Bangladesh. Overall It is conscious & firmly committed to ensure transparency and accountability in its activities & performance. Despite political & economic instability in different countries of the world. National Bank limited has maintained its tempo of progress. This has been made possible due to proper and timely steps taken, prudent management, untiring labor of the efficient & professional work fore, healthy fund management, credit supervision, increased foreign remittances etc. Now day banking sectors are more competitive.

During the whole period of my practical orientation in NBL at Pagla Bazar branch. I have seen customer dealing procedure and try my best to explain my real life experience. Now day banking sectors are more competitive. And existing organization have to face this competition and challenges. NBL at Pagla Bazar branch are very poor in this side than other some bank. They need to improve on every department of banks more or less comparing with other banks. They need to introduce online banking computerized transaction & modern banking system & procedure for their banking activities & modern banking system & procedure for their banking activities performance. After taking effective & time defeating measures regarding efficient employees & instruments will help this branch to reach top of success which they want.

Findings

1. NBL is the pioneer of privet banking business.

2. They provide the better customer service & also try to improve that.

3. Top management co-operate their subordinate.

4. In modern banking sector, there must need computerized transaction but many of the branch of NBL has lack of this.

5. Foreign exchange is the main sector of turnover of this branch.

6. Remittance, both local & foreign department are effective manner of customer services.

7. Special schemes like consumer credit scheme, monthly saving scheme etc are very popular.

8. Western Union money Transfer is providing better customer service by transacting their money from abroad. But this sector has fewer places for that reason it create noisier environment in the bank.

9. This branch also has some lack, such as officers, computer excellent decoration & space. Despite of above lacking its overall performances are good compare than other bank.

Recommendation

1. At first they need to introduce online banking system.

2. They need increase PC & try to utilize properly.

3. They need to introduce close circuit camera for watching people.

4. This branch has not sufficient T & T connected phone. So they should increase T & T connected phone for transacting banking activities.

5. Lack of officers for work in different department of this branch. They need to appoint officers for various departments.

6. As the Bank is one kind of service orientated organization. That’s why they need more care about service & should improve service then provides proper way to the customer.

7. For keeping their existing customer they should to collect customer’s opinions & try to find out their lacking & try to provide better service as their (parties) satisfaction level.

8. And also should to do communicate other new party as like field work at industrial/commercial area.

9. We know that Pagla Bazar is more popular for industrial & garment sector; for that reason NBL need ATM for providing better service.

10. If the branch can newly decorated, then it would help he bank to be a standard one compared with other private bank.

11. Every company may follow some strategy & testis. They want to emphasize this system. Because, management will be driven right way to organization. That’s why every company should create better & strong management system.
