The Sales person then narrates the product feature i.e. interest rate and fees & charges to the customers. Flyers & Brochures are also provided to the customer whenever applicable. RM / Sales person is liable for disclosing all information regarding fee and product feature to the customer to avoid mis-selling. If the customer shows interest after due consideration, the salesperson closes the deal through opening the account. For walk-in customers at branches, the branch opens the account in the system with the customer’s name and basic information or gives them a Welcome Pack as per customer’s choice. In case of welcome pack, the customer receives the account number along with cheque book and ATM/Debit Card instantly.

Then branch sends the details and all required documents to Retail Banking Operations (RBO) to open the account. After receiving all details, RBO updates the customer information, uploads photograph & Signatures in the system. RBO produces personalized cheque book and ATM/Debit Card and sends those to customers’ mailing addresses. Finally customer receives, PIN numbers from respective branches.

ALTERNATE BANKING ???
Service delivery is a customer-oriented activity which is carried out by organizations and are oriented
towards meeting customers needs and expectations. An Alternate Channel of Delivery is the mean by which a service is delivered to the clients through an alternative way other than a traditional delivery or
distribution channel.
Alternate Banking deals with alternate means of providing banking service to our valuable clients rather than the Direct Banking which is the Distribution Network (branches)
WHY ALTERNATE BANKING ???
BRAC Bank Ltd. Is the first ever Financial Institution in Bangladesh to depart from ‘brick and mortar’ concept of banking system by introducing branchless banking system facilities through Alternate Banking.
Alternate Banking has been initiated with the concept to divert customer traffic from the branches to accommodate more business to the distribution points and subsequently it cuts significant cost per customer Service.
It also widen the range of customer services available by utilizing modern technology.The focus of BRAC Bank’s channels has to date been mainly on service providing activity which is available to customers 24″17.
