LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

It is tuff to identify limitations that where I had to work three months time as an
internee. But in general limitation may come from different side in different way.
Typically internship program is the systematic gathering, recording and analyzing of
data on the given subject. Inspire of best efforts and better facilities I had to face some
silly problems. I mention here to my own works limitation when I worked in the NCC
Bank Limited in Agrabad Branch.

 So far I have observed over there, they have not so strong believed and
confidence over the internee’s activity and also to disclose omit able banking
activity.

 I got very little opportunity to do work practically after understanding the


theoretical lesson which was very crucial to me.

 Though I got three months time but to me the time is not sufficient enough to
complete and understand all the necessary activities relating to the banking
services.

 I had to face prohibition when I tried to work in depth.

 Sometime I had to face some unexpected situation due to the manager and
regional manager’s strictness over the employee.

 I am sorry to say that I didn’t find any encouragement from the part of the
branch’s chief that I have got from others.

 Most of the customers were found reluctant to express their dis-satisfaction in


bank’s services.

Modern banks cover a wide area so it is not possible to know every thing about a bank
within this limited time. I just observed what the bankers were doing and how so,
that’s why this report seems to some extent a theoretical one.

2.2 DYNAMIC INTEGRATION OF NCCBL

National Credit & Commerce Bank Limited is a second generation bank in


Bangladesh and has a strong position in the present competitive market. The
bank has not restricted itself to traditional function rather it has extended its
wings into numerous sectors. The NCC Bank Ltd has been trying to operate
its business with in an appropriate register. NCCBL is trying to develop its
goodwill among its client by offering its excellent services through General
Banking, Credit division & Foreign Exchange division. From my stand point
the working atmosphere of NCC Bank Ltd. is very stimulating. For being this
span of time of its operation, the bank is going to be a progressive & dynamic
financial institution in the country due to the following reasons.

 It gives a clear conception to the customer like a glass that the bank is too
much dynamic that we get from their season wise different credit
facilities and some other attractive and lucrative facilities for the new
customer. For instance; “Festival Loan Offer” in this year.

 Always trying to catch talent people in the bank by offering very much
attractive salary. A recruitment circulation containing with minimum 3
first class postgraduate and tk.21600 salary in the first year could be the
best example in favor of my statement (Daily Star June 2004).
 At present NCC Bank Limited becoming an adult position in the banking
sector of Bangladesh. In this establishment period huge sunk cost &
operating cost are incurred. That is why the bank is trying to reduce cost
proportionately through an effective management.

Internship Report 11
 Interest expenses of the bank is going to reduced proportionately
compared to interest income due to huge accumulating deposit as a result
the number of depositors is going to be increased.
 Other income of the bank is also going up due to increase of commission,
exchange & brokerage fees in the foreign exchange section.
 All this together with its adoption of modern trend of banking system has
enabled it to turn out as potential profiteering organization. My course of
internship in this bank had been the best part of gathering knowledge.

3.4 CAMEL RATING OF NCC BANK LIMITED

CAMEL rating (C-Capital Adequacy, A-Asset Quality, M-Management, E-


Earnings and L-Liability) has some formula and standard level of values for
each measure for rating the bank’s performance as strong, satisfactory, fair,
marginal and unsatisfactory.

Internship Report 16
The rating formulas with its standards are given below:

1) CAPITAL ADEQUACY RATIO:

It is the ratio of capital and reserve (adjusted) to the risk weighted assets. The
main objective of this ratio to find out the proportion of reserve to the risky
assets that means the capacity to cover the risk with reserve. Incase of capital,
banks (Tier-1, Tier-2 Capital) have to maintain not less than 8% of total risk
weighted assets with at least 4% in Tier-1 capital and Tier-2 capital could be
100% of Tier-1 capital.

Capital Adequacy = Capital and Reserve (adjusted) * 100


Total Risk Weighted Assets

By calculating ratio Central Bank rates the bank according to their


performance. The rating system is given below:

Capital Adequacy Rating


Rating Remarks Rating scale (In Percentage)
1 Strong 9 and above
2 Satisfactory 8-8.99
3 Fair 7-7.99
4 Marginal 5-6.99
5 Unsatisfactory Less than 5

Capital Adequacy Rating Of NCC Bank Limited From 2001 to 2003 is as follows:
Years 2003 2002 2001
Capital & reserve/Total risk weighted assets 8.47% 8.86% 6.55%
Rating 2 2 4
Remarks Satisfactory Satisfactory Marginal

The above data shows an up warded trend over the last three years. In its beginning
two years NCC Bank Ltd. holds a satisfactory position in respect of capital adequacy
followed by marginal one.

2) Asset Quality Rating:

Internship Report 17
This is the ratio between classified loans to total loans. Loans and advances are the
assets of a bank. If a loan is made without prudential judgment that involves project
appraisal, proper repayment schedule, industry conditions and so many others the
loans and advances have every possibility to be classified. A higher amount of
classified loans indicate the inefficiency in management.
Asset Quality = Classified Loans * 100
Total Loans

Asset Quality Rating


Rating Remarks Rating Scale ( In Percentage)
1 Strong Up to 5
2 Satisfactory 5.01 to 10.00
3 Fair 10.01 to 15.00
4 Marginal 15.01 to 20.00
5 Unsatisfactory Above 20.00

This ratio shows an inverse relation unlike Capital Adequacy. Because the lesser the
amount of classified loans the better the position of asset quality. Classified loans
hamper not only the profit but also lessen the total assets of a bank. A higher amount
of classified loans causes a bank to keep higher amount of its fund unutilized as they
are kept aside as provision.

Last three years Asset Quality Position of NCC Bank Limited is as follows:
Years 2003 2002 2001
Classified loan to total loan 3.26% 2.39% 1.19%
Rating 1 1 1
Remarks Strong Strong Strong

NCC bank Limited shows a very strong asset quality for all the three years as it
contains very low figure of classified loans. So this bank can be said well asset quality
according to the international standard.

3) Management Rating

Internship Report 18
Management is the composition of capital adequacy, asset quality, earnings and
liquidity position. The average position of these four components represents the
management quality of a bank.
Management Quality = C+A+E+L
4

Management Rating
Rating Remarks Rating Scale (In Percentage)
1 Strong 1 to 1.49
2 Satisfactory 1.5 to 2.49
3 Fair 2.5 to 3.49
4 Marginal 3.5 to 4.49
5 Unsatisfactory 4.5 to 5

Management rating of NCC Bank Limited from 2001 to 2003 is as follows:


Year 2003 2002 2001
(C+A+E+L)/4 1.25 1.25 1.75

Rating 1 1 2

Remarks Strong Strong Satisfactory

Therefore the performance of the bank shown by other ratios will reflect the
performance of the management. The rationale behind this is that the efficient
handling of the capital ratio, asset quality, and earning and liquidity ratio will cause a
good management rating.
The NCC Bank Limited has a good management rating for last three years.

4) Earning Rating

Earning ratio is the ratio between net income and total assets. It measures that how
much the bank earns utilizing its total asset. If earning is higher, then bank is certainly
in good position.
Earning Ratio = Net Income * 100

Internship Report 19
Total Assets

Earnings or Return on Assets Rating


Rating Remarks Rating Scale (In Percentage)
1 Strong .85 and above
2 Satisfactory .65 to .84
3 Fair .45 to .64
4 Marginal Below .45
5 Unsatisfactory Losses

To observe the earning scenario of a bank Return on Assets is considered to be the


measuring tool under CAMEL rating. ROA shows that how many times the bank
earns against its total asset.

Below we can see the ROA of NCC Bank Limited:


Years 2003 2002 2001
Return on Assets 1.29% 1.23% 1.13%
Rating 1 1 1
Remarks Strong Strong Strong

The above figure shows that there existing a stable situation in earning ratings over
the last three years. Each of the last three years the bank has considerably done their
activities thus the above table is focusing strong position of ROA.

strong position. That is, the bank is basically sound in every respect; findings are of
minor nature, handle routinely; resistant to external economic and financial
disturbances and no cause of supervisory concern. But in the year of 2001 the
composite rating was ‘2’, which means that the bank’s performance was in a
satisfactory level. Which also focus that it was fundamentally sound; findings are of
minor nature, can be handled routinely; withstand business fluctuation; supervisory
concerns were limited.

4.0 "SWOT" ANALYSIS

SWOT is the snap for the internal strengths & weaknesses of a firm & the
environmental opportunities & threats facing that firm. SWOT analysis is an
easy technique through which managers create quite overviews of Company's
strategic situation. By having SWOT analysis manager can easily keep pace
with the new challenge in the forth coming days. A good fit maximizes firms'
strengths & opportunities & minimizes its weakness & threats.

STRENGTH:

Internship Report 22
Strength is resource skill or other advantage relative to competitors & the
needs of the markets a firm serves or expects to serve.

a) Company republication: NCCBL has already gained reputation in banking


industry in this country. NCCBL has already established affirm toting in
the banking sector having tremendous growth in the profits & deposits.
b) Sponsors: NCCBL has been founded formed by a group of eminent
entrepreneurs of the country having adequate financial strength. The
sponsor’s directors belonging large industry & conglomerates of the
country.
c) Top management: The top management of the bank is also a major
strength for the NCCBL & contributed heavily towards the growth &
development of the bank. The top management officials all have had
reputed of banking experience, skill & expertise.

WEAKNESS:

A weakness is a limitation or deficiency in resources skills or capabilities that


seriously impedes a firm’s effective performance. NCCBL weaknesses are as
follows:

a) Advertising & promoting:This is the major set bank for NCCBL & one of
its weakest points. NCCBL does not pursue on aggressive marketing
comparing to others. It is not in the lime light like other banks. NCCBL
does not have any display boards.

b) Disguised employment: Currently there are "Trombone heads but few


hands" and this is related to the problem of reference appointment.
There are people who are only drawing salaries at the end of the month
but not have a part of contribution towards the organization. On the

Internship Report 23
contrary, there are people who worked hard but are not appreciated
accordingly.
c) Limitation of PC Bank: PC bank is not comprehensive banking software. It
is desirable that a more comprehensive banking system should replace
PC bank system.
d) Team work: At NCCBL having mid level & lower level management.
There are no team works. But it is obvious that many jobs are
performed in groups of two or three in order to reduce the work load &
enhance the process of completion of the job.

OPPORTUNITIES:

NCCBL can pursue a diversification strategy in expanding its current line of


business. The management considers options of starting retail banking or
diversifies into fast banking & cons odium business by expanding business
port folio, it might be possible for NCCBL to reduce business risk.

THREATS:

a) Multinational Bank: The rapid expansion of multinational bank poses a


potential threat to the new private commercial Banks. Due to the
booming energy sector, more foreign banks are expected to operate in
Bangladesh. Since the foreign banks have spectacular financial
strength, it will poses threat to local banks to a certain extent in terms
of grabbing the lucrative clients.

b) Upcoming Banks: The upcoming private local banks can also pose a threat
to the existing commercial Bank more of the local private banks may
emerge. If that happens the intensity of competition will rise further &
banks will have to develop new strategies to compete the fairing banks.

Internship Report 24
c) Contemporary banks : The contemporary banks of NCCBL like Jamuna
bank, prime bank, one bank, southeast bank, exim bank, bank Asia are
its major rivals. They are carrying out aggressive comparing to
lucrative, corporate clients as well as long time depositors. NCCBL
should require vigilant absent the steps taken by these banks as these
will in turn affect NCCBL strategies.

d) Retail Banking: Retail banking of some foreign banks and others local
bank become a threat for NCCBL. Because they operate mainly
corporate and merchant banking and as retail banking as small portion.
So that they face problem some how.

5.0 INNOVATION IN BANKING PRODUCTS IN


BANGLADESH

Innovation is the art of overcoming constraints towards development. It occurs when


a new or changed product or services is introduced to the market, or when a new or
changed process is used in a commercial situation. No organization can remain happy
with the existing products to cope with the changing demand of the customers as well
as to face competition with the competitors. Banks are no exception to this situation.

The achievements of the banking system in Bangladesh in innovating products are not
encouraging in the post independence era. There has been hardly any innovation of
banking products in Bangladesh in this period. Of course, bank brought required
several products in Bangladesh which are already in use in others countries. In this
process, besides traditional banking products, banks have recently introduced some
innovative products such as consumer product financing, credit card, merchant
banking, leasing, loan syndication, etc. in terms of asset product base; preferential and
installment saving deposits, insurance linked deposit schemes, etc. in terms of liability

Internship Report 25
product base; however, still some products being used in other countries are yet to be
introduced in the banking system of Bangladesh.

The economy of Bangladesh has been growing gradually, and as such it needs the
support of a financial structure, which is responsive to the needs of development. In
the process of development of Bangladesh, banks will have to shoulder more
responsibilities than before for meeting the financial needs of customers of different
sectors of the economy. For this, banks must develop new products to serve their
clients. This will enable banks to move away from the traditional banking and make
them responsive to economic needs. In this perspective, it is desirable to examine the
major innovations in banking products which have taken place, and which are yet to
make entry in the banking sector of Bangladesh.

5.1 Products Introduced in Banks of Bangladesh

In line with changes in economic policies and with the implementation of financial
sector reforms, the banking sector of Bangladesh witnessed the introduction of
prudential norms, liberalization of interest rates, abolition of directed lending, and

entry of new private banks. In this environment, banks in Bangladesh introduced


several products over time. An attempt has been made here to locate the products,
which have been adopted in banks of Bangladesh.

5.2 Deposit Products

There are several deposit options available to the customers of banks in Bangladesh.
Each deposit option differs with regard to name, interest rate, maturity, terms and
liquidity. These are created to satisfy a board range of depositors. Nationalized
commercial banks (NCBs) are the initiators of innovation of deposit products. Before
1998, they have evolved and used several deposit products (Table #). Private
commercial banks (PCBs) keep eyes on deposit products more aggressively.

Table # 4

It appears from the above that deposit collection efforts by offering new deposit
schemes have been confined more to the urban area than to the rural area. Except few
products like ‘Kudra saving scheme’ all deposit products were designed for city base
people. Because of the assumptions of bank people that rural people have low income
and cannot save. Another observation is that innovation of deposit scheme
concentrated more on household sector. Other sector like public enterprise and private
enterprise were not highlighted sufficiently in introducing new deposit scheme.
Finally, schemes were introduced more for collecting higher interest bearing deposit

Internship Report 27
(fixed deposit) as compared to non interest bearing (current depositor) and lower
interest bearing (saving) deposit.

5.3 Loans and Advances

When money is deposited with a bank, the bank, in turn, creates assets through
disbursement of loan and advances in different modes. NCBS do these functions
under three board heads namely continuous loans, demand loans, and term loans.
Continuous loan consists of two important credit portfolios of commercial banks,
namely overdraft and cash credit. Cash credits are given against pledge or
hypothecation of various assets of a client. Borrowers prefer this form of advance
because of liberty to draw the amount as when required and payment of interest on
outstanding. Apart from these, banks sometimes grant unsecured overdraft called
temporary overdraft. Demand loan include import financing, export financing, bridge
loan/ financing etc. private commercial banks are active in the race of product
innovation relating to loans and advances. Table# shows that PCBs have adopted
almost all products available in NCBs. Besides, lease financing, hire purchase,
overdraft against credit card are the important products in PCBs credit lines. After

1998, PCBs have also introduced some new products like syndicate loan, transport
loan, house building loan, loan for treatment, any purpose loan and education loan etc.

Types of Loans and Advances by Category of Banks

Table # 5

It is found from the above table, that most of the products used in loans and advances
are designed to9 finance mainly the business sector. However personal financing
needs were neglected earlier.
5.4 Ancillary Business

Ancillary service is of great importance to a bank. Banks may even find that their
major source of profit is not in their traditional business of taking deposits and making
loans, but in the newer ancillary services. With this realization, Bangladeshi banks
offer a number of ancillary services. Banks earn fees or commissions by performing
ancillary services. Table # shows that modes of ancillary services of Nibs are confined
to transfer of money and agency services. Banks transfer money from one place to
another through MT< TT< MD< PO, Foreign MT< Home remittance scheme. Under
the agency services, banks offer a number of services such as collection of bills and
cheques, collection of utility services, sale of shares, prize bond sanchaya patra, and
cricket’s tickets, and payment of various government grants. Two more services

Internship Report 29
namely locker services and guarantee are also popularly offered by banks. PCBs offer
some extra ancillary services apart from those provided by NCBs. Of them credit
card, and travelers’ cheques are well accepted. Credit card is called plastic money,
which is offered by a name of private banks. It provides credit to variety of
commodities and services at the designed shops of the traders. Other service in the
area of merchant banking such as underwriting, issue management, portfolio
management are being adopted gradually by private commercial banks. After 1998,
PCBs have also introduced some products namely on line banking, advisory service,
ATM card, debit card etc.

6.0 Underlying Factors that Have Caused


Introduction of new Banking Products in
Bangladesh

Despite available existing banking products, there has been acceleration in the
introduction of new banking products in recent years in Bangladesh. Some driving

Internship Report 30
forces worked behind this acceleration. An important driving force is competition
among banks. At present 49 scheduled banks operate in Bangladesh. Moreover a
variety of financial institutions have emerged in the financial sector of Bangladesh to
provide board range of financial services. Hence, banks strive to introduce several
new products either to preserve existing market share or both. However, new products
were introduced mainly by targeting urban base client as competition among bank is
confined to the urban areas. PCBS and FCBs are in operation mainly in the urban
areas. Rural areas people are not therefore the beneficiaries of these bank’s new
products.

Another influence on innovations in banking products is deregulation. Bangladesh has


undertaken deregulation measures in a gradual manner. Here in Bangladesh
deregulation includes liberalization of interest rate, relaxation of constraints on banks’
portfolio management, introduction of new products in the money market- repo, to
create a new channel to adjust banks’ liquidity position, elimination of exchange
control etc. moreover to be effective, financial deregulation backed by updated laws
and prudential regulations. Deregulation and updated laws and prudential regulations
have enabled banks to compete more freely with each other and to broaden the range
of services that they offer to the customer.

Innovations have also been prompted by information technology (ICT). Banks in


Bangladesh are gradually introducing the latest information technology according to
their capacity. All banks have been using either local or foreign software in their
banking operation, for example NCCBL using Indian- Micro Banking Software for
their banking purpose. A good number of banks offer services of Automated Teller
Machine (ATM) and point of sale terminals. Other electronic banking services are
tele-banking, electronic fund transfer, credit card, debit card, merchant account
service to merchants, SWIFT are also in vogue in banks of Bangladesh. Introduction
of ICT in banks had two effects. Firstly, it has reduced the costs of financial
transaction and ensured delivery of better customer service. Secondly, it has spawned
growth of bank products. Customer sophistication is also a driving force for current
acceleration in the introduction of new banking products. Customers demand a more
professional service at the least possible cost and expect that banks would offer only
those products that can meet their specific requirements most appropriately.

Internship Report 31
Consequently, banks have attempted to introduce newer products that serve to replace
existing products at lower costs.

An increase the default loan of traditional banking products also influenced banks to
introduced new products. Sarker ( 1997, P>H) writes that incase of traditional
banking cash mode of lending, accountability on the part of borrowers as well as
lenders recourse on borrowers are minimum which encourage loan default attitude.
He suggest that bank should therefore , think of introducing new asset or commodity
based products like leasing, consumer product financing, merchant banking, etc. and
expect that these products would not only diversify asset products base but would
also help to reduce loan default attitude of the borrowers.

7.0 RELATIONSHIP MARKETING FOR BANK

Relationship banking is a process which has the aim of persuading customers to


become lifetime customers and to place all their banking business with one bank now
and in the future. Relationship banking enables to provide a cost effective, proactive
service to selected customers. As a whole, relationship marketing refers to a long
term, mutually beneficial and exclusive problem solving relation between customers
and banker.

7.1 Relationship Marketing

We have to develop relationship with our customers so that they feel they are our
family members. Customers should think that Banker cares about their well being. We
feel happy in their prosperity and we feel sorry in their distress.

8.0 MARKETING ASPECTS OF NCCBL

Bank belongs to service industry and its marketing strategy is to sell its products to its
customers. Creating customer value and satisfaction are the heart of modern
marketing thinking and practice. Marketing is the delivery of customer satisfaction at
a profit. The two- fold goal of marketing is to attract new customers by promising
superior value and to keep customers by delivery satisfaction.

Internship Report 32
8.1 Marketing System in a Bank
Communication
Information
Figure # 1
Bank Market/ Customer
A Collection of Sellers 8.3 Business A Collection of Buyers
Philosophy:

In order to be successful, we have to sell our services/ products at a profit and satisfy
customer.
 If we satisfy our customer but fail to make a profit, we will soon be out of
business.
 If we make profit without satisfy our customers, we will soon be out of
customers.
The secret of doing business lies on the one word service. Service means doing
something so valuable for the customers that he is glad to pay a price that allows us to
make a profit.

8.4 Marketing Strategy

For achieving balanced and sustainable growth, we must satisfy two groups:

 New Customers and


 Repeat Customers

Traditional marketing theory and practice have focused on attracting new customers
and making the service. Today, however, the emphasis is shifting. Our marketing
strategy should be all effort to retain current customers and build lasting customer
relationship. Thus, marketing is service oriented. The service is “A Bridge between
Product and Customer”.

8.5 Three C’s of Marketing in Bank

1. Customer Focus
2. Co- operation
3. Continuous Improvement

Customer Focus: It means,

Internship Report 33
 Know Your Customer
 Know Your Product

It also means “the design, creation and delivery of product, service based on meeting
customer needs and exceeding their expectation”.

Co-operation: It implies ‘share information and share resources”.

Continuous Improvement:

This is part of Marketing Research. We take feedback from the market, we collect
note of the customer complain and try to improve our product and service on a
continuous basis. Why? To remain and compete in the market.
Satisfied Customer

In a bank, all officers and executive are Marketing Officers. The existing customers
should get proper service, which will turn bring new customers. One satisfied
customers will do advertisement on our behalf and automatically bring chain of new
customers. On the other hand, dissatisfied customer (if any) is enough to ruin our
image and good- will. The costs of attracting new customers are rising. In fact, it cost

ten times as much to attract a new customer as it does to keep a current customer
satisfied. We should also realize that loosing a customer means more than loosing an
account, it means loosing the entire stream of service that the customer make over the
lifetime of patronage. So in our behavior and dealings with one customer should never
be hurt. We have to provide personalized service.

9.0 ASSET MARKETING AND INFORMATION

For achieving balanced and sustainable growth for a bank, their market should be both
liability and asset.

Bank means:

Deposit Bank Lending


Figure # 2

Internship Report 34
Bank accept deposits from the public fro the purpose of lending. We always go fro
deposit hunting. No doubt deposit is life-blood fro a bank. But if we cannot deploy
this fund, then bank cannot earn profit. So we must also do marketing fro bringing
good borrowers. If asset and liability can be matched then only we can expect
sustainable growth. In this line, we can also try to bring more import – export
business, guarantee business and other miscellaneous service for the growth of the
bank. If we can increase non funded business, then our profitability will go high.

Moreover, we can markets new products for our existing and would be new
customers. Lending is the main asset of the bank. Borrowers are also our important
and valued customers. So, if we want to be a good banker or a credit officer, we must
know the market and product. We must have the information about the company and
also the industry. Fro example, we want to finance new cement factory. Then we must
have the information about the cement industry. About the total supply and demand.
We should take information about from the competitors, from the bankers, from the
market and finally from CIB of Bangladesh bank. If we are through in analyzing
Balance Sheet, then we can find vital information for taking decisions. If we can
calculate Credit Risk Grading, then also it will give us financial information whether
to take or reject any proposal. Thus information and only information can take us
close to our customer by which we can render better services.

10.0 MARKETING OF BANK PRODUCTS

There is a maximum that for doing better marketing: known your customer and
known your products. Thus a banker should known all about its product in details.
The lists of products are given below:

10.1 Deposit Products

Internship Report 36

10.4 Product Development and Customer Complain

To provide efficient and better service, we should take opinion from the existing
customers. We can keep a complain box, visible in the branches/ head offices, where
customer will go give their suggestions. These information, once again will help the
management to rectify and also improve the products or services.

11.0 CONCEPT OF SELLING WITH INTEGRITY

We would like to add one new concept ‘selling with integrity” as a marketing tool.
This concept care about the persons. Anyone responsible for the sales of any product
or service where the long term relationship with the customers are important. The
main theme is ‘Care about your Customer” give solutions to buyer’s problems. This
can be shown by the following table:

Your Customer
Agenda Agenda
Loose your agenda Give priority to customer’s agenda

 Then your marketing will be successful and this is selling with integrity
 If customer wins then it will ultimately bring you a success
 Initially loose / win situation finally it becomes win/ win for both.

A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us.
We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption on our work. He is purpose of it.
He/ she are not outsider on our business. He is doing us favor by giving us an
opportunity to do so.

changed into a more attractive one, as explained earlier. NCCBL desperately needs a
strong Brand Image to survive the competitive bank environment. Previously due to

The prosperity of a country depends upon its economic activities. Like any other

sphere of modern Socio-Economic activities, banking is a powerful medium of

bringing about socio-economic changes of developing country. Agriculture,

commerce and industry provide the bulk of a country’s wealth. Without adequate

banking facility these three cannot flourish. For a rapid economic growth a fully

developed banking system can provide the necessary boost. The whole economy of a

country is linked up with its banking system. The functions of the bank are now wide

and diverse. Of all the functions of a modern bank, lending is by far the most

important. They provide both long term and short term credits. The customers come

from all walks of life, from a small business to a multi-national corporation having its

business activities all around the world. The banks have to satisfy the requirements of

different customers belonging to different social groups. The banking business has,

Internship Report 55
therefore, become complex and requires specialized skills. They function as catalytic

agent for bringing about economic, industrial and agricultural growth and prosperity

of the country. The banking can, therefore, be conceived as a “a sector of economy on

the one hand and as a lubricant for the whole economy on the other”. As a result

different types of banks have come into existence to suit specific requirements. A

prudent banker should always try to make an appropriate balance between the risk and

return involved in the loan portfolio management. The lending banker has to take into

account various considerations which relate to bank itself, the borrower, the proposal,

the socio-economic factors etc. National Credit and Commerce Bank Limited offers

its valuable customers both consumer credit scheme and financing for small, medium

and large scale business and industries that fulfill requirements of the bank and have

parties who have either fixed source of income or who desire to pay it in lump sum.
When an advance is made in a lump sum reliable either in fixed monthly installments
or in lump sum and no subsequent debit is ordinarily allowed except by way of
interest, incidental charges, etc., it is called a loan. Loans are, thus, allowed for
definite purpose and for a predetermined period to those parties who have either fixed
source of income or who desire to pay it in lump sum. The whole amount of loan is
debited to the customer’s name on a separate loan account to be opened in the ledger
and, is paid to the borrower either in cash or by way of credit to his account. Interest
is charged on the entire amount of debit balance, usually with quarterly rests, unless
there is an arrangement to the contrary. After creation of loan, there will be only
repayment by borrower. A loan once repaid in full or in part, cannot be drawn again
by the borrower. If the borrower desires further accommodation, it will be treated as
separate transaction subject to separate terms and conditions. Thus, a borrower is
required to negotiate every time he is taking a new loan or renewing an existing loan.

The characteristic of loans are as follows:

 May be short term or long term


 Sanctioned for a fixed period of time

against the credit facility; pledge has been defined as ‘a bailment of goods as security
for payment of a debt or performance of a promise’. The ownership of the pledged
goods remains with the pledge. Banks retains the effective control of the pledged
goods. Pledged goods may be stored in a godown of the borrower but under lock and

2) Borrower Selection:

Internship Report 65
Lending banker is always exposed to risk of non-repayment by the borrower. The
bankers while selecting their borrowers should have a clear appraisal about them. The
proper selection of borrower is the vital point to be considered by the lending bankers.
The study of a borrower is a study of his character, capacity and capital eligibility for
a bank advance.
Character denotes the integrity of the borrower, i.e., he should have willingness to
repay the money borrowed. This is the greatest single asset any individual can have
and is the first factor to be evaluated. A person who is really honest will rarely change
whatever be the testing factors. His determination to be honest and willingness to
repay, when possible, will remain steadfastly like a rock. This aspect is the good part
of the security for any bank advance. However, honesty alone does not constitute
character.
Banks get information on borrowers through various sources enumerated below:

 Loan application.
 Mode of living.
 Market reports through friends or rivals mostly from the borrower’s trade or
business.
 Borrower’s account with the bank or statements of account with other banks.
 Statements of assets and liabilities. In the case of companies, their balance
sheets and profit and loss accounts for say three years, records of the registrar
of companies etc.
 Income tax returns.
 Wealth tax returns.
 Trade and other reports in the press.
 Reports about actions and decrees in Government Gazettes.
 Registration, revenue and municipal reports.
 Other banker and branches of the bank.
 Operations by a customer on his safe custody account or locker.
 Bangladesh Bank Credit Information Bureau.
 Personal contact including personal interview.

5) Documentation procedure:

The whole process of completion of the documents to sure the credit is called
documentation. It is necessary for acknowledgement of the debit by the borrower /
guarantor /mortgagor and charging of securities in favor of the bank by them.
Documentation must be proper and correct for the safety of a credit. Proper
documentation is essential to safeguard bank’s interest. It is made covering its all legal
aspects. The process of creating charge over the assets is called perfection of security.
Charging a security means making it available as a cover for a credit. Not only
security has to be good but the method of charging should be legal and perfect. It is,
therefore, important that the charge must be complete and all necessary formalities are
completed with, so that in case of default by a borrower, the security will be available
to the banker.

Internship Report 67
There are different types of charge created on securities considering types of assets,
nature of credit and the degree of control over the debtor’s properly required by the
banker.

The common ways of charging securities are as follows:

 Lien: Lien means right to hold the securities till the liability is adjusted. For
excusing the right of lien the following conditions to be fulfilled:
1. The security over which the right is to be executed must be in possession
of the creditor who will exercise it.
2. There must be a lawful debit due to the person in possession of the goods
by the owner of the goods.
3. There must not be any contract to the contrary.
 Pledge: Pledge may be define as the transfer of possession of goods and
produce by a debtor to his creditor as security for the payment of a debt or the
fulfillment of some obligations by the transferor. The essence of pledge is that
possession passes to the pledge but legal ownership remains with the pledge.
Only moveable property can be pledged.

 Hypothecation: hypothecation means the charging of property to secure debt


while the possession and ownership of the property remain with the debtor. A
deed of hypothecation gives the bank the right to sell the goods if the loan is
not repaid.
 Mortgage: Mortgage is a transfer of interest in specific immovable properly

Foreign Exchange refers to the process or mechanism by which the currency of one
country is converted into the currency of another country. In accordance with banks,
Foreign exchange refers to the general mechanism by which a bank converts currency
of one country into that of another. Foreign trade gives rise to foreign exchange.
Foreign trade is transacted either in the currency of the exporter’s country or that of
the importer’s country or that of a third country acceptable to both the exporter and
the importer.

In the words of Mr. H. E. Evitt, “Foreign exchange is that section of Economic


Science which deals with the means and methods by which rights to wealth in a
country’s currency are converted into rights to wealth in another country’s currency. It

Internship Report 72
involves the investigation of the method by which the currency of one country is
exchanged for that of another, the causes which render such exchange necessary, the
forms which in exchange may take, and the ratios or equivalent values at which such
exchanges are effected.” The expression “Foreign Exchange” is also popularly used to
denote a foreign currency. A bank is said to buy or sell foreign exchange, which deals
in claims on foreign currency or the actual legal tender money of other countries. It
covers all methods by which the claims expressed in terms of one currency are
converted into another currency and the rates at which exchanges are take place.

20.1Fundamental of Foreign Exchange

There are 3 fundamental aspects of the general mechanism of Foreign Exchange:

 Every country has its own currency-legal tender/distinctive unit of account.


 Banks by bookkeeping entry carried out in the two centers concerned effect
the conversion of one currency into another.
 These exchanges are affected by means of credit instruments viz. Draft, Mail
Transfer, Telegraphic Transfer, SWIFT etc.

need not require having a bank account. We do not levy any extra charge. We give
a better exchange rate to the Recipient. The Recipient can approach any for the
NCC Bank branches at his convenience for payment.

22.0 INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR EFFECTIVE BANK


PRODUCT AND SERVICE MARKETING

While in the first half of the 19th century people used to wait hours to hours to
communicate with the buyers of different places and countries, the invention of
information technology has relieved their mental agony of waiting and also brought
magical change in transforming information round the globe. The invention of
information technology has also brought a significant change in collecting
information about the markets and thus increased competition among the marketers.
Now, no one can imagine winning the market without the help of information
technology which is sign quo non to develop buyer driven products and to reach them
effectively and efficiently to the hands of all customers. Importantly the invention of
information technology has affected the banking industry too in terms of costs,

Internship Report 75
convenience, delivery, and speed of providing services and thus today’s banking
institutions are also engaged in free competition to satisfy the needs of the market.

22.1 Information System in Marketing of Banking


Products

Banking products encompasses all goods and services that a bank or financial
institution offers in market to its target customer. And, marketing of banking products
includes all tools, techniques and strategies that a bank uses to sell its products to the
target market. The ultimate objective, of course is to build a win- win relationship
with the valued customers. However, the valued customers can only be created
through offering of demand oriented products at a reasonable price. The need of
marketing arises here as marketing practically work with the satisfaction and
dissatisfaction of the customers. Marketing says which a product is to be sold at
which price and at which channels.

22.2 Marketing Information System

Marketing is a very broad concept. When we are talking about marketing, we are not
talking about sells and advertisement rather we are focusing on all activities and
strategies that a marketer undertake to satisfy its target market. It encompasses-

market research, product Development, competitors’ movements, pricing, advertising,


sales promotion, customer analysis, and even politics. However for development of an
effective information system, we would focus here the three important questions:
1. What business are we in?
2. What business should we in?
3. What capacities do we have?

23.0 FINANCIAL PRODUCTS AND MARKETING IN


BANGLADESH

There are five major areas in banking marketing techniques could be successfully
applied, such as:

Internship Report 76
 Market Segmentation
 Customer Behavior in Bank Selection Criteria
 Customer Loyalty
 Bank Products/ Service Study
 Bank branch Research
 Forecasting and Research future significant market need.

In marketing of banking financial products, the controllable tactical marketing mix is


product, price and place. In general, the financial products of a bank can be
categorized as follows:

Mobilization of Deposit
Deployments of Fund
Offering Financial Services
Extending Agency Services
Offering consultancy service
International Trade and Foreign Exchange
Customer Services
Promotion of Foreign Investment
Customer Services
Social Service Product Promotion.

However a bank needs at least three broad categories of market information to


manage its marketing activities properly. These are:

 Information about market forces


 Information about market behavior and
 Internal information.

Appropriate financial products can only be developed if the banks have an effective
information system that connects internal and external markets. Side by side efficient
marketing people needs to deployed for convincing the customer. Interior decoration
of the bank is another important area where bank should focus their attention. Finally

Internship Report 77
bank should give more attention to the market research and incentive packages for
effective selling of financial products.

24.0 PROBLEMS OF NATIONAL CREDIT & COMMERCE


BANK LIMITED

24.1 General Problem of NCCBL:

1. Lack of Manpower: Where are not enough officers in all the departments of
the Agrabad branch to handle the activity properly?
2. Absence of Job Description: All the employees have not well structured job
description. For this reason the officers are often seen to work haphazardly.
3. Improper Management: NCCBL does not exercise corporate client
managements for which the bank remains in backward in knowing latest
information about the corporate client.
4. Working Environment: There is lack of enough and proper promotion for
different products of the bank. It makes the customer ignorant of the banks
services.
5. Lack of Islami Banking
6. They are not enough conscious about their quality service providing in
competitive market (in some branch & some times).
7. NCCBL brochure and website is not gathering sufficient information and not
enrich.
8. Frequent Policy Change of Bangladesh Bank: Sometimes it is impossible to
meet the demands of the central bank.
9. Lack of Inter Bank Cooperation: This creates problems for getting
information about the customer.
10. Government policy: Sometimes Govt. policies are not favorable for banking
business.

24.2 Problem Related with Credit Department:

1. High Cost of Fund: The cost of fund of this bank is higher than others bank
and in increasing g rate.

Internship Report 78
2. Higher Rate OF Interest: Due to the high fund cost the bank has to charge high
interest rate on lending. For this the bank cannot attract more clients for credit
or investment.

3. Lengthy Procedure: the procedure of processing loan is complex and lengthy.

4. Inadequate information: Some customer gives improper and incomplete


information about themselves. So it increases the credit risk of bank.
5. Limited Credit Scheme: The menu of the service of the branch is not wider for
serving more customers.

26.3 Problems Related in Marketing for Banking


Business:
PRODUCT:

 Product feature are not well-known about customer and product feature is not
more attractable.
 Product developments are not emphasizing by banking function. They are
generally busy fro general banking.
 Product category is in small and with few departments.
 There is no marketing research that search for new products in order to
customer needs and wants.

PRICE:

In pricing deposit products, bank management is caught between the horns of


an old dilemma.
In pricing loans and advances products bank charges higher cost so that many
potential and existing borrower cut their relationship with bank.
Frequently change the charges of both products that’s create some setback.

PROMOTION

Internship Report 79
Insufficient Advertising: There is a lack of enough and proper visual and
others types of promotion for different products of the bank and also service.
There is no customer information booth and advertising that makes
information availability of customer.

PLACE
 Target market is not wide in whole country in every district or
thana level.
 Branches are not covering all type of customer.

25.0 SUGGESION

NCCBL should try to establish subsequent interest rate in both of


deposit and lending products that attract more customers.
NCCBL should try to increase the market share by providing attractable
new products and quality services.
Implement strong monitoring system that decreases the default loan.
NCCBL should update modernized, enriched information of its brochure
and website that create opportunity of promotion and increase getting
more clients.
Complain of customers should be decreased at zero level.
The bank should always try to follow the Bangladesh bank and also
monitor others competitor banks as adjusting mode that increase profit
margin and growth level of bank.
NCCBL should recruit more young and dynamic manpower.
As early as possible the bank should provide online banking in all
branches of NCCBL.

the level of risk and also create new customer.

subject related that enhance service knowledge of manpower.
Office space of the every branch should be wider and well decorated.

Working environment should be attractive, familiar and motivational.


Increases inter bank cooperation that getting more necessary information
about the borrower.

26.1 Marketing Solution

Firstly bank should liberate the marketing department that’s way they will work
freely, dynamically for increasing profitability as well as customer satisfaction.
And they can also increase its operational as well as opt to market demand by
following way:

Devise out new products in deposit section and in loans scheme


products line for serving more diversified clients and capturing
current market demand to hold market position.
Bank should introduce new line small scale loan for serving more
client and increase business for getting higher profit.
Arranging market research for new products that give the
differentiate product to the customer.
Bank should always develop his product by moderating, changing or
creating new product for whole market capture.
Price or charge should be always adjustable (Not over 4% from
deposit) in deposit and lending rate so that people believe about their
satisfaction.

Internship Report 81
Bank will choose those places that will be give higher deposit and
also enhance bank business that means landing.
Product design should attract diversified customer.
Budget higher amount advertising in both printing and visual media
that increase customer.
Establish separate information booth.
Increase societal marketing program.

27.0 SPECIAL FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION


Due to the work in NCCBL as an internee, I found some special problem
regarding financial solution. In our country most of the people’s income is
lower level and most of them are middle class in society (without lower level).
In most of the case, middle class people need financial help in unscheduled
money demand work like, higher education, marriage, treatment and

Internship Report 82
housewives want deposit or savings some money in bank because security and
benefit. But banking service and products are not in boundary of those people.
Because when anyone wants to open an account in bank he/ she need to an
introducer but for middle class or housewives have not contact those group. It
is possible only when people already have a business or special recognition in
society. In this regard banks also have not any initiatives. So we can easily say
that bank work only some sector of the society not for all level of society.

Information is another important aspect for banking activities. In our country,


most of general people are not conscious about banking service that how it can
will help them. For that reason, they are fall in unwanted situation in finance.
As a marketer point of view, banking services are fully marketing oriented in
current competitive market. Its every stair needs marketing plan, strategy but
bank management is not practicing that’s way which will be brought large scale
of markets share, profit and leadership position in banking sector.

NCC Bank Limited is a second generation bank in Bangladesh and has a strong
position in the present competitive market. The bank has not restricted itself to
traditional function rather it has extended its wings into numerous sectors. The
performance of the bank is satisfactory till its inception and achieving growth
in all key areas of operation. National Credit and Commerce Bank Limited by
its performance has established itself as one of the leading bank in the area. I
wish that the bank would continue its face of growth and retain its present
strong position as well as image in the market.
