Types of Credit offered
Prime Bank Limited offers both funded and non-funded credit facilities. The various funded and non-funded credit facilities that Prime Bank provides to its borrowers are:
Funded Facilities
The funded credit facilities are those which involve direct cash. In other words, any type of credit facility which involves direct outflow of bank’s fund on account of borrower is termed as funded credit facility. The following funded credit facilities are provided by Prime Bank Limited:
Cash Credit
Cash credit is a continuous loan facility usually provided to meet up working capital requirements of the customer. Cash credit can be given on hypothecation or pledge of goods but Prime Bank only provides Cash Credit on Hypothecation.
This advance is given to the retailers and whole sellers. In this credit primary security is the goods under hypothecation i.e. the goods for purchase of which the bank provides finance. This is a continuous loan and the customer can withdraw money from the account as many times a day as it wants and thus it functions as a checking account. Again the customer can deposit money as many times as it wants and is obliged to deposit the sale proceeds in the account as per terms of sanction.
Secondary security and hence collateral security is the registered mortgage of houses, land and buildings etc as provided by the customer. Prime Bank Limited encourages highly collateralized facility only. Interest rate is 14.00% p.a with quarterly compounding with special rate for corporate customers.
Cash Credit (Pledge)
This is another advance mode to finance the working capital requirement of the retailers and resembles Cash Credit (hypothecation). The only difference between Cash Credit (Hypothecation) and Cash Credit (Pledge) is that in case of CC(Hypo) the goods are both owned and controlled by the retailer, the loanee whereas in case of CC(Pledge) ownership of the goods lies with the borrower and control of the goods lies with the bank. The borrower deposits money in the account and releases the goods equivalent to the money deposited.
Interest rate is 14.00% p.a. For customers with exceptionally good repayment the interest rate is lowered up to 12.50% p.a. Interest rate also is dependant on the quality and marketability of the security offered.
Features of Cash Credit
- A certain limit of credit amount is set at the time of initiation of Cash Credit facility
- An expiration date is set, which is not more than one year
- The drawings are subject to drawing power
- The primary security of Cash Credit facility is stock of goods, which is hypothecated to Prime Bank Limited as collateral
- With satisfactory transaction the limit may be enhanced based of the requirement of the customer
Over draft
Over draft facility is also a continuous loan arrangement permitting him/her to draw up to a certain approved limit for an agreed period. Here the withdrawal of deposits can be made any number of times at the convenience of the borrower, provided that the total overdrawn amount does not exceed the sanctioned limit.
Customer can return any amount at any time within the pre-fixed time of the facility. Turn over of an Over Draft facility is the most important phenomenon on which renewal of the facility depends. Over Draft facility is given to the businessmen for financing working capital requirement and high net worth individual to overcome temporary liquidity crisis.
Secured Overdraft
This type of loan is provided to both individuals as well as business entities. This is named so as the advance made is secured by either financial instruments like Sanchaypatra, Fixed Deposit Receipt and other financial obligations or by the bills receivable. This has following sub types:
- SOD against financial Obligation
- SOD against FDR
- SOD against Special Scheme
- SOD General
- SOD against Work Order
- SOF against Shares
This is the overdraft against lien on financial obligations like Sanchaypatra, ICB Unit certificate etc. Rate of interest ranges from 2.50% to 3.00% above the rate earned by the financial instrument e.g if the Sanchaypatra earns 10% interest, interest on loans against the Sanchaypatra ranges from 12.50% to 13.00%. However as this loan account can be transacted as many times as possible within the given validity period of one year this also meets requirement of business houses. Interesting thing that is beneficial to the loanee is that the loanee has to pay interest only on the outstanding amount e.g. if the loanee takes a loan of Tk. 50,000.00 against lien on Sanchaypatra valuing Tk. 1,00,000.00, he has to pay interest only on 50,000.00 whereas he earns interest on the whole amount of Sanchaypatra i.e. 1,00,000.00.
SOD (FDR) is the overdraft against lien on FDR. The FDR may be of the same bank or other bank. In case of FDR of Prime Bank Limited, the interest rate is 2.50% above the FDR interest rate whereas for other bank’s FDR the interest is 14.00% p.a with quarterly compounding irrespective of the interest earned by the FDR.
SOD against special scheme is the SOD against special schemes like CSS (Contributory Savings Scheme). In this case only 80% of the principal amount deposited by the customer is given as advance. Again the interest rate is 14.00% per annum with quarterly compounding.
SOD general is the overdraft for bidding in tenders and is given as Pay Order. Whenever a government authority like Roads and Highways Division invites a tender it seeks security from the bidders so that in case of award of the work order the contractor cannot leave the job undone. To avoid the risk the authority asks the bidders to submit pay order which is highly liquid to them. Banks issue pay orders on behalf of the customer, here the contractor, through creation of a loan account in the name of the customer.
Another thing is that most of the times each individual contractor submits his bid in the name of multiple firms to increase the probability of winning the bid. This requires huge amount of money which businesses do not have always. The banks bridge the gap through extension of SOD (Earnest Money) or SOD (General) facility. The pay orders that do not win the tender are returned by the work giving authority to the contractors who submit it to the banker and thus gets rid of its liabilities. Interest rate charged by Prime Bank Limited on this facility is 14.00% p.a with quarterly rest.
SOD against work order is given for execution of work orders awarded by different government bodies and private companies. In this case the security is the bills receivable by the contractor from the work awarding authority following execution of work to its complete satisfaction.
The Irrevocable General Power of Attorney executed by the contractor in favor of the bank authorizing it to collect all the bills receivable by him stands as the primary security. The work awarding authority pays the bills to the bank and thus the liabilities are adjusted. Rate of interest is 14% for general customers and for top rated customers it ranges from 14.00% to 12.00% depending on the creditworthiness and bargaining power of the customer.
vi. SOD against Shares is loans given against shares as security. However, to cope with the volatility of the share market, the bank gives loans only up to 50% of the average Market value of the particular share under consideration during the last six months or the face value whichever is lower. Interest rate is 15.00% per annum. Interest is 1% higher due to higher risk of the share value fluctuation.
Hire Purchase
Hire Purchase is a type of installment credit under which the Hire Purchase agrees to take the goods on hire at a stated rental, which is inclusive of the repayment of Principal as well as interest for adjustment of the loan within a specified period.
Lease Finance

Lending is the main profit generating activity of a bank. Every bank should possess a lending procedure that provides correct borrower selection, quick processing, assurance of repayment and effective monitoring and supervision. The lending procedure followed by Prime Bank Limited consists of a set of sequential activities. In these sequential activities, both bank officials and potential borrowers play significant role.
Different Activities in Lending Process
The lending procedure starts with building up relationship with customer through account opening. The stages of credit approval are done both at the branches and at the corporate office level. The lending procedure is described below in sequential order:
Step-1
A loan procedure formally starts with a loan application from a client who must have an account with the bank. Branch receives application from client for a loan facility. In the application client mention what type of credit facility he/she wants from the bank including his/her personal information and business information. Branch Manager or the Officer-in-charge of the credit department conducts the initial interview with the customer.
Step-2
The bank sends a letter to Credit Information Bureau of Bangladesh Bank for obtaining a credit inquiry report of the customer from there. This report is called CIB (Credit Information Bureau) report. This report is usually collected if the loan amount exceeds Taka fifty thousand. The purpose of this report is to be informed that whether or not the borrower has taken loans and advances from any other banks and if so, what is the status of those loans and advances i.e. whether those loans are classified.
Step-3
If Bangladesh Bank sends positive CIB report on that particular borrower and if the Bank thinks that the prospective borrower will be a good one, then the bank will scrutinize the documents. Required documents are:
- In case of corporate client, financial statements of the company for the last three to five years. If the company is a new one, projected financial data for the same duration is required.
- Personal net worth of the borrower(s).
Step-4
Bank officials of the credit department will inspect the project for which the loan is applied. Project existence, its distance from the bank originating the loan, monitoring cost and possibilities are examined.
Step-5
Any loan proposal is evaluated on the basis of financial information provided by the applicant. Financial spread sheet analysis which consists of a series of quantitative techniques is employed to analyze the risks associated with a particular loan and to judge the financial soundness and worthiness of the borrower. Besides lending risk analysis is also undertaken by the bank to measure the borrower’s ability to pay considering various risks associated the loan. These quantitative techniques supported with qualitative judgment are the most important and integral part of the credit approval process used by Prime Bank Limited.
Step-6
Documents related to the collateral security offered by the customer are sent to the bank’s panel lawyer for vetting. Bank based on the expert opinion of the lawyer further process the loan proposal.
Step-7
If the proposal meets Prime Bank’s lending criteria and is within the manager’s delegated power, the credit line is approved by the manager himself. The manager and the sponsoring officer sign the credit line proposal and issue a sanction letter to the client.
If the value of the credit line is above the branch manager’s limit then it is sent to head office or for final approval with detailed information regarding the client (s), credit analysis and security papers.
Step-8
Head office processes the credit proposal and puts forward an office note if the loan is within the power of the head office credit committee. Otherwise it is sent to board if the loan requires approval from the board of directors.
Step-9
If the credit committee of the head office or the board as the case may be approves the credit line, an approval letter is sent to the branch. The branch then issues a sanction letter to the borrower with a duplicate copy.
Step-10
After issuing the sanction advice, the bank will collect necessary charge documents. Charge documents vary on the basis of types of facility, types of collateral.
Step-11
Finally loan is disbursed by the branch through a loan account in the name of the borrower and monitoring of the loan starts formally.
Credit analysis is of utmost importance for the lending process to be successful. Proper credit analysis helps avoid risks in lending and brings transparency. The analysis of financial statements of the prospective borrower(s) carried on for the purpose of determining the past financial health of the borrowing unit and judging whether any future loan commitment to the unit is secured or not is known as credit analysis. Credit analysis is generally done at the branch level of lending process and the results and findings are evaluated in the corporate office.
The basic financial statements required for credit analysis are:
Balance Sheet
Income statement (Profit and Loss Account)
Cash Flow Statement.
Equity Statement
The credit analysis starts with the financial spread sheet analysis using the financial statements provided by the borrowing unit.
