1.1 Origin of the report:

Generally by the word “Bank” we can easily understand that the financial institution which deals with money. Bank owners want to render efficient service to clients at every

Possible location at the maximum cost, Government wants banks to regulate the money market and as well as issue notes and currencies. The clients want their belongings safe as well deposit money from different locations, Recognizing the different needs of the different key party’s interest the banking business; the banks have evolved into different categorizes to meet these needs. That’s why there are different types of banks like- central Bank, Commercial Bank, Agriculture bank, Industrial bank, cooperative bank. But when we use the term “Bank” without ant prefix or restriction it refers to the Commercial bank. Commercial bank is an institution, which plays a major role in channeling to borrowers with productive investment opportunities to run the economy smoothly. That’s why commercial banks are the most important type of financial institution interest the terms of asset. So, the people of the society and the government are very much dependent on the commercial bank as well as the financial intermediary.

In 1983, banks were allowed in the private sector. Now banking sector is one of the fastest growing sectors of the country. During the last 30 years, banking sector in Bangladesh has grown and developed horizontally and vertically. Bank branches have been spread up to the rural areas. Bank services have multiplied. Number of bank has increased impressively. Now there are 48 scheduled commercial banks in the country with 6,596 branches. Besides these there are also four unscheduled bank.

1.2 Background of the Study

Knowledge and learning become perfect when it is associated with theory and practice. For any business student only curriculum activity is not enough for handling the real business situation, therefore, it is a requirement after the completion of BBA to involve with a business organization to prepare a interne report. So it is an opportunity for the students to know about the field of business through the internship program.

So Bachelor of business Administration is a specialized course. Stamford University Bangladesh organizes this four years specialized course to provide some efficient graduates in the business sector of the country .The whole course design is not limited within the theoretical boundary but it it also extend to the practical exposure through the internships program . The internship program is a require course for student who are completing Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) from Stamford University. It is a four credit hour program with duration of three months .Student who have completed all the courses are eligible for this program.

In the Interne program the attached to The City Bank Limited for two months, days starting from June 6 ,2009 to August 13 ,2009 . During this period have learned about the banks and the facilities that are providing by them. Only theoretical knowledge without any practical experience makes a person sterile. On the other hand a person having practical experience but no theoretical exposure keeps him blind. The internships program is designed to overcome such position . Bank is a service oriented organization .So the orientation has been made as an integral part of the BBA degree. The outcome of the report is the result of in\immense supportive effort with a large group of personnel of the bank along with the trainers, banking experts and my respected supervision teacher.

The assigned topic is “General Banking a Study on The City Bank Limited, Shaymoli Branch” which is assigned by my supervisor in the department. On the basis of working experience in the internship period the prepared this report and tried level best to relate the theoretical knowledge with the practical work situation.

1.5 Limitations

Like any other study the limitations of this study is not out of questions. But the following factors seem to me as the some points of weakness of this study, despite all out co-ordination from the bank officials.

  • One of the notable limitations of this report is bank’s policy of not disclosing some data and information for obvious reasons, which could be very much useful.
  • Entrance to every nock and corner of the bank was not possible for me.
  • The main constraint of the study is inadequate access to information.

Chapter -3: Organization profile

3.1 History & origin of City Bank

City Bank is one of the oldest private Commercial Banks operating in Bangladesh. It is a top bank among the oldest five Commercial Banks in the country which started their operations in 1983. The Bank started its journey on 27th March 1983 through opening its first branch at B. B. Avenue Branch in the capital, Dhaka city. It was the visionary entrepreneurship of around 13 local businessmen who braved the immense uncertainties and risks with courage and zeal that made the establishment and forward march of the bank possible. Those sponsor directors commenced the journey with only Taka 3.4 crore worth of Capital, which now is a respectable Taka 330.77 crore as capital and reserve.

City Bank is among the very few local banks which do not follow the traditional, decentralized, geographically managed, branch based business or profit model. Instead the bank manages its business and operation vertically from the head office through 4 distinct business divisions namely

1.Corporate and Investment Banking;

2.Retail Banking (including Cards);

3.SME Banking; and

4.Treasury and Market Risks.

Under a real-time online banking platform, these 4 business divisions are supported at the back by a robust service delivery or operations setup and also a smart IT Backbone. Such centralized business segment based business and operating model ensure specialized treatment and services to the bank’s different customer segments.

The bank currently has 83 online branches spread across the length and breadth of the country that include a full fledged Islami Banking branch. Besides these traditional delivery points, the bank is also very active in the alternative delivery area. It currently has 25 ATMs of its own; and ATM sharing arrangement with a partner bank that has 225 ATMs in place; SMS Banking; Interest Banking and so on. Soon its Customer Call Center is going to start operation. The bank has a plan to end the current year with 50 own ATMs.

City Bank is the first bank in Bangladesh to have issued Dual Currency Credit Card. The bank is a principal member of VISA international and it issues both Local Currency (Taka) and Foreign Currency (US Dollar) card limits in a single plastic. VISA Debit Card is another popular product which the bank is pushing hard in order to ease out the queues at the branch created by its astounding base of some 400,000 retail customers. The launch of VISA Prepaid Card for the travel sector is currently underway.

City Bank prides itself in offering a very personalized and friendly customer service. It has in place a customized service excellence model called GAP (Graceful-Appropriate-Pleasing) that focuses on ensuring happy customers through setting benchmarks for the bank’s employees’ attitude, behavior, readiness level, accuracy and timelines of service quality.

City Bank is one of the largest corporate banks in the country with a current business model that heavily encourages and supports the growth of the bank in Retail and SME Banking. The bank is very much on its way to opening many independent SME centers across the country within a short time. The bank is also very active in the workers’ foreign remittance business. It has strong tie-ups with major exchange companies in the Middle East, Europe, Far East & USA, from where thousands of individual remittances come to the country every month for disbursements through the bank’s large network of 83 online branches.

The current senior management leaders of the bank consist of mostly people form the multinational banks with superior management skills and knowledge in their respective “specialized” areas. The bank this year, is celebrating its 25th year of journey with the clear ambition of becoming the no.1 private commercial bank in the country in 3 years time. The newly launched logo and the pay-off line of the bank are just one initial step towards reaching that point.

We give here a simple note on the philosophy that went behind the creation of this logo:

It’s a simple logo. Its beauty is in its simplicity of arrangement which is also bold. Since it is simple, it connects with people easily.

· The red and silver shape may mean a chess board. Chessboard stands for wisdom & vision. Since we are 25 years old, we are expert, wise & experienced. Chess is the game of the smart people who knows all the moves. Our game is to deal with your money matters and – as wise & experienced bankers, we are experts in that.

· The red and silver shape may also mean something dynamic. It may mean the checkered flag of Formula One Racing. Then it signifies speed and agility & fast pace.

· The red and silver shape may also mean a kite. It’s a beautiful colorful kite, nose up, going to reach for the sky. In that case, it means the bank is soaring high into the skies of many possibilities in order to make customers’ financial dreams come true

· The red and silver shape may also mean it’s a flying chessboard. It’s a chess-board that has taken wings and is flying. In that case it indicates to what extent this bank can go to serve customers better

The logo has a dynamic shape. Such dynamism stands for modernity, the 21st century. That signifies, this is going to be a techno-savvy bank, a state-of-the-art tech-powered modern bank

The color ‘red’ stands for emotion, passion, strength, vitality, action, confidence & courage.

The color silver symbolizes riches, just as gold does. Silver is glamorous & distinguished. Silver is the traditional 25th anniversary color or Silver Jubilee color. Another thing is: “Pieces of silver” means money or coin. And our pay-off line is “Making Sense of Money”.

Now the pay-off line “Making Sense of Money”.

No money, no bank. We all know how important money can be for any of us. Money is a need all by itself. It is the most precious thing. Money is the port key to any destination. It is everything between a person and his / her dreams & hopes. So, the money which is almost synonymous to life, must make sense. And for your money to make sense, it must be handled by an expert. That is where we come in. We say, we make sense of your money. Because, at City, we are wise men of banking.
