Introduction

A bank serves the
main purpose of acting as a payment system, and as a financial intermediary. The
banking system helps the flow of capital from those who have excess of it to those who
need it. The depositors at the banks keep their excess money and the banks use
these funds to finance various organizations, individuals and other who need money. A bank has a
very important social role to play. The careful maintenance of the deposits kept at a
bank is a matter of trustworthiness for the bankers. This is why the banking sector is
always under supervision. The investments that a bank makes with the help of deposits
have to be economically sound, because the default on that advance would make it
difficult for the bank to return the deposit amount to the depositor. The monitoring authority,
in our country, Bangladesh Bank, keeps a constant vigil to make sure that these
depositors get their money back.

All banks try to
promote their deposit and loan products in the market. The vision of every bank
is to be the most efficient bank in terms of customer service, profitability
and technology application. The mission is continuous improvement in business
policies and procedures, cost reduction through integration of technology at
all level. The efforts on delivery service in all areas of banking activities
with the aim to add increased value to shareholders investments and offer
highest possible benefits to the customers.

We try to present an
overview of NCC Bank Limited and its financial products, a comparative analysis
of NCC Bank Limited Consumer Credit Schemes with other commercial banks and
some suggestion for the improvement of NCC Bank Limited throughout the report.

The required data
about the interview procedure are collected from face to face conversation with
the manager and employee of NCC Bank Limited.

The report will be more interesting if the
time duration increased. But we have tried my best to full fill the report. Another
important factor is that data are not structurally distributed in the
organization for that reason we have to depend on the secondary data like the Annual report,
different product brochure. Due to secrecy point of view it was not possible to collect all the core information/data
from the office. Though it is a competitive market, the company was quite
liberal in disclosing the confidential information
to me for my report but it was expected to me to keep the confidential things at my discretion and as at the same time, render
as much information in the report as required.

Objectives of the report

The
main objectives of the report are: –

To study existing banker-customer relationship particularly
the efficacy of customer services of the bank.

Shown the profitable sector in which the bank achieved
high return after investing.

Identified the weak sector in which the bank has some
bad experience in past.

Methodology of
the Study:

Methodology of the study:

 The report was
fully exploratory in nature. Data have been collected from both primary &
secondary sources.

Primary Sources

Ø  Direct observation.

Ø  Information discussion with professionals.

Ø  Secondary
Sources

Ø  Annual report (2009) of NCC Bank Ltd.

Ø  Banks record.

Ø  Websites and News papers are was major sources.

Ø  Some of my course element as related to this report.

Limitation of the Project:

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 specially NCC
Bank. Some constraints are appended bellow:

ü  The main constraint of the study is inadequate access
to information, which has hampered the scope of analysis required for the
study.

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

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

ü  Another problem is that creates a lot of confusions
regarding verification of data. In some cases more than one person were
interviewed to clarify each concept as many of the bankers failed to provide
clear-cut idea about the job they perform.

ü  We carried out such a study for the first time, so
inexperience is one of the main constraints of the study.

An overview of Bangladesh’s Banking
Environment

The
banking in Bangladesh has passed three decades through different policy
environment and comprises central bank at the apex, nationalization commercial
banks, private commercial banks, foreign commercial banks and specialized
financial institutions.

Before
liberation of Bangladesh in 1971, the total banking system was private owned,
urban based and profit oriented. But after liberation, the government of
Bangladesh nationalized all the banks operating in Bangladesh in 1972, except a
few foreign bank branches.

Currently
the major financial institutions under the banking systems include:

·
Bangladesh Bank

·
Commercial Banks

·
Islamic Banks
(For interest free Islamic banking in adherence to the Islamic principles &
practice)

·
·
Merchant
Banks

Generally
the commercial banks and finance companies provide a myriad of banking products
/facilities and services to the needs of their customers. These include 24
hours banking, (Tele banking via modems and phones) and general banking and
service products. For customers’ convenience, such products are available
throughout the bank branches in our country.

However
the Bangladesh banking industry is characterized by the tight banking rules and
regulations set by Bangladesh Bank. All banks and financial institutions are
highly governed and controlled under the banking companies act 1993, which lays
out many restrictions, besides other guidelines. Among the many regulations
imposed, Bangladesh Bank does not allow any FI to into bankruptcy or insolvency.

In
addition as banking products which can be offered in our country, are fairly
homogeneous in nature due to the tight regulation imposed by Bangladesh Bank.
Competing through differentiating the range of products offered is often
difficult and not effective. Moreover any innovative banking service launched
is quickly duplicated by 7 other banks such as ATMs, Tele banking, online (real
time) computerization bank branches etc. Hence the key to establish a
competitive edge in banking industry of Bangladesh is to provide better
customer service quality.

SWOT Analysis

SWOT analysis is the detailed study of
an organization’s exposure and potential in perspective of its strength, weakness,
opportunity and threat. This facilitates the organization to make their
existing line of performance and also foresee the future to improve their
performance in comparison to their competitors. As though this tool, an
organization can also study its current position, it can also be considered as
an important tool for making changes in the strategic management of the
organization.

Strengths:

 — NCC BANK Limited has already established
a favorable reputation in the banking industry of the country. It is one of the
leading private sector commercial banks in Bangladesh. The bank has already
shown a tremendous growth in the profits and deposits sector.

 — NCC BANK Limited has already achieved a high growth
rate accompanied by an impressive profit growth rate in 2001. The number of
deposits and the loans and advances are also increasing rapidly.

 —   NCC BANK has an interactive corporate culture. The
working environment is very friendly, interactive and informal. And, there are
no hidden barriers or boundaries while communicate between the superior and the
employees. This corporate culture provides as a great motivation factor among
the employees.

Weaknesses:

— Not proper utilization of the banking
system.

 __ The
poor service quality has become a major problem for the bank. The quality of
the service at NCC BANK is higher than the Dhaka Bank or Dutch Bangla Bank etc.
But the bank has to compete with the Multinational Bank located here.

Opportunities:

 _ In order to reduce the business risk,
NCC BANK has to expand their business portfolio. The management can consider
options of starting merchant banking or diversify into leasing and insurance
sector.

— The
activity in the secondary financial market has direct impact on the primary
financial market. Banks operate in the primary financial market. Investment in
the secondary market governs the national economic activity. Activity in the
national economy controls the business of the bank.

— Opportunity in retail banking lies in the
fact that the country’s increased
population is gradually learning to adopt consumer finance. The bulk of our
population is middle class. Different types of retail lending products have
great appeal to this class. So a wide variety of retail lending products has a
very large and easily pregnable market.

—   A large number of private
banks coming into the market in the recent time. In this competitive
environment NCC BANK must expand its product line to enhance its sustainable
competitive advantage. In that product line, they can introduce the ATM to
compete with the local and the foreign bank.

Threats:

—
All sustaining multinational banks and upcoming foreign and private banks
pose significant threats to NCC BANK Limited. If that happens the intensity of
competition will rise further and banks will have to develop strategies to
compete against these local and foreign
banks.

—   The default risks of all
term loans have to be minimized in order to sustain in the financial market.
Because of default risk the organization may become bankrupt. NCC BANK has to
remain vigilant about this problem so that proactive strategies are taken to
minimize this problem if not eliminate.

—
The low compensation package of the employees from mid level to lower
level position is not able to keep the employee motivation. As a result, good
quality employees leave the organization and it effects the organization as a
whole.

Management of NCC BANK

For
any financial and non-financial organization, Management is the most valuable
and important resources of any kind of organization. And, a well-organize
management provides the organization to reach its ultimate goal. Management
means planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling of all
financial and non-financial resources of an organization. Different aspects of
management practice in NCC BANK planning, organizing, staffing, directing &
controlling, human resources practices and
recruitment finally.

GENERAL BANKING

General
banking department is the heart of all banking activities. This is the busiest
and important department of a branch, because funds are mobilized, cash
transactions are made; clearing, remittance and accounting activities are done
here.

Since
bank is confined to provide the services everyday, general banking is also
known as ‘retail banking’. In NCC BANK LTD Main Branch, the following
departments are under general banking section:

A) Account
opening section

B) Remittance
section

C) Clearing
section

D) Accounts
section

A) ACCOUNT OPENING SECTION

Account
opening is the gateway for clients to enter into business with bank. It is the
foundation of banker customer relationship. This is one of the most important
sections of a branch, because by opening accounts bank mobilizes funds for
investment. Various rules and regulations are maintained and various documents
are taken while opening an account. A customer can open different types of
accounts through this department. Such as:

1. Current
Deposit.

2. Savings account.

3. Short notice deposit (SND)

?Types of
Accounts with Terms and Conditions

Current Deposit

Current account is purely a demand deposit account.
There is no restriction on withdrawing money from the account. It is basically
justified when funds are to be collected and money is to be paid at frequent
interval.

Some Important Points are as follows :

v  v  There is no withdrawal limit.

v  v  Minimum Tk.1000 balance must always maintain all the
time;

Savings Bank
Account

This deposit is primarily for small-scale savers.
Hence, there is a restriction on withdrawals in a month. Heavy withdrawals are
permitted only against prior notice. Some Important Points are as follows-

v  v  Minimum Tk.1000 balance must always maintain all the
time;

v  Withdrawal amount should not be more than 1/4^th
of the total balance at a time and limit twice in a month.

v  If withdrawal amount exceed 1/4^th of the
total balance at a time no interest is given upon the deposited money for that
month.

SND (Short Notice Deposit) Account

Normally various big companies,
organizations, Government Departments keep money in STD account. Frequent
withdrawal is discouraged and requires prior notice.  The deposit should be kept for at least seven
days to get interest. The interest offered for STD is less than that of savings
deposit. Interest is calculated based on daily minimum product and paid two
times in a year. Interest rate is 6.00%.

B) LOCAL REMITTANCE

In
these purpose the three officer of this bank to help me. They are Mr. Humaun
Kabir, Ms. Syeda Taslima Begum and Special thanks Ms. Syeda Shammi Akter. 

Carrying
cash money is troublesome and risky. That’s why money can be transferred from
one place to another through banking channel. This is called remittance.
Remittances of funds are one of the most important aspects of the Commercial
Banks in rendering services to its customers.

Types
of remittance:

Ø  Between banks and non banks customer

Ø  Between banks in the same country

Ø  Between banks in the different centers.

Ø  Between banks and central bank in the same country

Ø  Between central bank of different customers.

The main instruments used by
the NCC BANK of remittance of funds are

Ø  Payment order (PO)

Ø  Demand Draft (DD)

Ø  Telegraphic Transfer (TT)

So the basic three types of
local remittances are discussed below:

Table- 02

2.Confirm with sent
advice

3.Check the ‘Test Code’

4.Make paymentCharge Only commissionCommission + telex charge

• Test – key
  Arrangement 

Test
key arrangement is a secret code maintained by the banks for the authentication
for their telex messages. It is a
systematic  procedure by  which a test number is and  the person to
whom this number  is  given
can easily authenticate the same test number  by
maintaining  that same procedure.
NCC BANK has test key arrangement with so many banks for the authentication of
LC message and for making payment.

• Commission for PO

NCC
BANK charges different amount of commission on the basis of Payment order
amount. The bank charges for pay order are given in the following chart:

Table-
03

Term Deposit Receipt

The
Local Remittance section of NCC BANK Motijheel Branch also issues TDR. They are
also known as time deposit or time liabilities. These are deposits, which are
made with the bank for a fixed period, specified in advance. The bank need not
maintain cash reserves against these deposits and therefore, the bank offers
higher of interest on such deposits.

• Opening of TDR
  Account:  The depositor has to fill
  an account form where in the mentions the amount of deposit, the period
  for which deposit is to be made and name/names is which the TDR term
  deposit is to be issued. In case of a Joint name NCC BANK also takes the
  instructions regarding payment of money on maturity of the deposit. The
  banker also takes specimen signatures of the depositors. A TDR term
  deposit account is then issued to the depositor acknowledging receipt of
  the sum of money mentioned there. It also contains the rate of interest
  and the date on which the deposit will fall due for payment.
• Term Deposits: These
  rates are not negotiable. In this table we can find out the percentage
  that is given by the bank for specific period of time to the customer.

Table
– 04

Term
Deposits

• Payment of interest:
  It is usually paid on maturity of the fixed deposit. NCC BANK calculates
  interest at each maturity date and provision is made on that
  “miscellaneous creditor expenditure payable accounts” is debited for the
  accrued interest.
• Encashment of FDR: In
  case of premature FDR< NCC BANK is not bound to accept surrender of the
  deposit before its maturity date. In order to deter such a tendency the
  interest on such a fixed deposit is made cut a certain percentage less the
  agreed rate. Normally savings bank deposit is allowed.

• Renewal of FDR: In NCC
  BANK, the instrument is automatically renewed within seven days after the
  date of its maturity if the customer does not come to encash the FDR. The
  period for renewal is determined as the previous one.

C)
CLEARING SECTION

The
amount of Cheques, Pay Order (P.O), and Demand Draft (D.D) Collection from
other banks on behalf of its customer is a basic function of a Clearing

Department is called as the nerve Centre of the bank. In banking business,
transactions are done every day and these transactions are to be recorded
properly and systematically as the banks deal with the depositors’ money. .
Improper recording of transactions will lead to the mismatch in the debit side
and in the credit side. To avoid these mishaps, the bank provides a separate
department; whose function is to check the mistakes in passing vouchers or
wrong entries or fraud or forgery. This department is called as Accounts
Department. If any discrepancy arises regarding any transaction this department
report to the concerned department.

Besides
these, the branch has to prepare some internal statements as well as some
statutory statements, which are to be submitted to the Central Bank and the
Head Office. This department prepares all these statements.

  vouchers according to the debit voucher and the credit voucher

Findings

When we were working
at NCC Bank Motijheel, Main Branch, we have attained to a never kind of
experience. By analyzing the various data the following finding have been
found:

General
Banking activities are related with progression of operation. NCC’S operations
are increasing gradually. Each year deposits growth indicates NCC`S better
movement in the banking field which is satisfying clients. As a result, clients
are increasing and ultimately equity is increasing. In 2009 Bank’s reserve
capital was Tk.871.77 (Million) compared with Tk.598.39 (Million) in 2007.
Gradually bank’s operations are increasing. Investment is increasing rapidly
and a good response is getting from the clients in different investment scheme.
NCC`S increasing movement is generating increasing profits. NCC is gaining huge
profits by satisfying clients. Client’s satisfaction depends on the efficacy of
customer service. All operational improvement with profit leads us to say that
–efficacy of customer service of NCC BANK is in the positive situation.

Recommendations

As per earnest observation
some suggestions for the improvements of the situation are given below:

q
Bank should offer
more facilities to the customers such as credit card visa card ATM machine etc.

q
As soon as
possible the bank should state more branches in Dhaka city as well as other
cities of the country.

q
Now a day’s world
is going very fast. Now most of the banks open online customer service system.
So in order to compete in the world marketing they should adopt online banking
system in every branch.    

q
In General Banking department it is
necessary to implement modern banking process instead of traditional system. It
should be more computerized.

CONCLUSIONS

From the practical
implementation of customer dealing procedure during the whole period of my practical
orientation in NCC BANK Limited we have reached a firm and concrete conclusion
in a very confident way. We believe that my realization will be in harmony with
most of the banking thinkers. It is quite evident that to build up an effective
and efficient banking system to the highest desire level computerized
transaction is a must.

Success in the banking
business largely depends on effective various accounts. The more income will be
from reserve fund. And also the more income from Credit operations the more
will be the profit of the NCC BANK Limited.

Though there are some
drawbacks in implementing Credit General banking in NCC BANK Limited as per
manual, it can be further developed in light of the recommendations being
discussed above. Finally it can be argued that though the results achieved so
far are not satisfactory, General banking is much more important part for
enhancing NCC Bank’s strength and there lies the opportunities to make it more
effective in the future for our own benefit.
