1.4 Methodology
1.4.1 Data Collection Method
This report has been prepared on the basis of the data that was collected during the internship
period. In the internship period I was conducted in depth interview with the different experience
personnel in different area of the bank. I was also collect data by surveying the customers of
Savar Bazar Branch. In order to make the report more meaningful and acceptable, I tried to collect
data from two sources
Primary sources : face to face conversation with the respective officers, staff and customers of the
bank.
Secondary sources : Annual report (2008) , partial income statement of the branch, some
confidential documents of DBBL, printed material, DBBL website, previous report.
Observation technique.
Survey and analysis data by using table and chart
Financial analysis
SWOT analysis.
in several department of the bank in DBBL Savar Bazar Branch and I have tried to observe and
understand the all banking activities especially General Banking activities.
1.4 Limitation:
One of the major limitations of this study was the time limitation. For survey work it was not
possible to take the sample size more then 30. With in a very short time it was not possible for me
to collect data from section and work in every department. There are also some limitations those
are follows All the officers were very much busy with their day to day work. So they could
not provide me enough time.
Office secrecy was also one of the major problems. Some time they did not
disclose some confidential data.
In some cases they could not able to providing me about my topics related data
for preparing a more depth research study.
I carried out such a study for the first time, so inexperienced is one of the main
constraints of the study.
2.2 Background
Dutch-Bangla Bank Limited (the Bank) is a scheduled commercial bank. The Bank was
established under the Bank Companies Act 1991 and incorporated as a public limited company
under the Companies Act 1994 in Bangladesh with the primary objective to carry on all kinds of
banking business in Bangladesh. The Bank is listed with Dhaka Stock Exchange Limited and
Chittagong Stock Exchange Limited.
DBBL- a Bangladesh European private joint venture scheduled commercial bank commenced
formal operation from June 3, 1996. The head office of the Bank is located at Senakalyan Bhaban
(4th floor),195, Motijheel C/A, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Bank commenced its banking business
with one branch on 4 July 1996.
2.3
Brief History
Dutch-Bangla Bank started operation is Bangladesh's first joint venture bank. The bank was an
effort by local shareholders spearheaded by M Sahabuddin Ahmed (founder chairman) and the
Dutch company FMO.
From the onset, the focus of the bank has been financing high-growth manufacturing industries in
Bangladesh. The rationale being that the manufacturing sector exports Bangladeshi products
worldwide. Thereby financing and concentrating on this sector allows Bangladesh to achieve the
desired growth. DBBL's other focus is Corporate Social Responsiblity (CSR). Even though CSR
is now a cliche, DBBL is the pioneer in this sector and termed the contribution simply as 'social
responsiblity'. Due to its investment in this sector, DBBL has become one of the largest donors
and the largest bank donor in Bangladesh. The bank has won numerous international awards
because of its unique approach as a socially conscious bank.
DBBL was the first bank in Bangladesh to be fully automated. The Electronic-Banking Division
was established in 2002 to undertake rapid automation and bring modern banking services into
this field. Full automation was completed in 2003 and hereby introduced plastic money to the
Bangladeshi masses. DBBL also operates the nation's largest ATM fleet and in the process
drastically cut consumer costs and fees by 80%. Moreover, DBBL choosing the low profitability
route for this sector has surprised many critics. DBBL had pursued the mass automation in
Banking as a CSR activity and never intended profitability from this sector. As a result it now
provides unrivaled banking technology offerings to all its customers. Because of this mindset,
most local banks have joined DBBL's banking infrastructure instead of pursuing their own.
Even with a history of hefty technological investments and an even larger donations, consumer
and investor confidence has never waned. Dutch-Bangla Bank stock set the record for the highest
share price in the Dhaka Stock Exchange in 2008.

1.5
This chapter deals with two parts, first I tried to explain my major learning points from various
departments of the branch according to my position and duties. Second I describes the findings of
my study.
5.1.1.1
The main functions of this section are to open different types of account on the request of client.
From this section I learnt how to open different types of account like savings account, currant
account, salary account and different types of scheme. This section I also learnt how to make a
customers IC and ID number by using Banks software (Flexcube), how to scan , link and
authorize photo and signature. In this section I also learnt how to issue, add, authorized and
delivered check book. I also learnt how to close an account.
5.1.1.2
Clearing Section
Clearing Section is very important section in General banking division. Almost every section of
different has been linked with this section there are many types of work I did in this section likea) I learnt how to receive a clearing cheque from the clients b) how to record the cheque in
the OBC book and giving the OBC number c) I suffix crossing seal, OBC and authorized
seal. d) making the list of OBC cheques in MS Excel sheet and then I posted the cheques at
local office for collection.
5.1.1.3
This is another important section in GB. Here I have learnt how to handle different types of
customers. Here I also learnt how to balance inquiry, giving customers bank statement,
transferred balance from one account to another account of DBBL.
5.1.1.4
Card Section
Here I have learnt how to shorting the PIN number, card and confirmation letter delivering the
card and take the customer signature in confirmation letter recording the card registered book,
matching the signature, posting card activation message to card division under BDMS (Banks
own software which directly link with card division) for active delivering card. Here I have
alsolearnt how to solve various types of problem of clients about card such as lost card
replacement, forgotten Pin number etc.
Customers expectation
Daily withdrawal limit from ATM are needed to increase from 50,000 to 1, 00,000.
Reissuing charge for card and PIN number are needed to reduce.
6.1 Recommendation
My three months experience in DBBL at various Departments lead to recommend on following issues
Different types of product and services are available in DBBL, but clients are want more
banking product and services such as- credit card service, smooth and fast internet banking
services, flexible banking time.
Clients of DBBL are not satisfied about their Credit Division. They think that they are not
getting better services from this department. So this department should be flexible about
loan sanction.
DBBL should follow a stable interest rate. Clients are embarrassed about the fluctuation of
interest rate.
DBBL should try to reduce the rate of commission and charges for different services.
The bank should increase the number of ATM Booth and speared it in different area.
The personnel of different section of GB in not sufficient to provide efficient services to the
clients. So, it necessary to increase the number of personnel.
DBBL should introduce more innovative modern product and services for their product line.
The bank should decrease the charge for reissued PIN number and replaced card.
6.2 Conclusion
DBBL- a Bangladesh European private joint venture scheduled commercial bank commenced
formal operation from June 3, 1996. The Bank commenced its banking business with one branch
on 4 July 1996. Internship is an integral part to complete the BBA degree. As a finance (major)
student, I have decided to do my internship in a financial institutions and DBBL (Dutch-Bangla
Bank Ltd.) give me the opportunity. My internship period was from 12th March 2009 to 13th June
2009. During the period I tried to collect data and learn something from this period. And these
three months internship period is providing me a lot of practical knowledge about banking. At the
time of internship program students are suppose to prepare a report based on their observation of
practical work. In my internship period, I was assigned to work in several department of the bank
in DBBL Savar Bazar Branch and I have tried to observe and understand the all banking activities
especially General Banking activities.
