country without bank. Banks play diversified role in an economy. Banking plays very
significant contribution towards socio-economic development of a country. This sector

components of the financial system it forms the core of the money market and plays
very pivotal role in mobilizing resources for productive investments in a country which
in turn contributes to economic development. The efficiency of the sector is very
important for overall development of the country. The most important task that is done
by a bank is building of capital. That is the key factor of the development of an economy.
An Industrialized nation’s build their industrial sector with the help of banking sector.
The growth of the economy also depends on the performance of the banking sector.
Banks secure money of the society. Government takes various monetary policies. These

lot to carry on the business. This report has been prepared in the light of practical as

Banking Industry of Bangladesh

2.1 Introduction
Banks are among the most important financial institution in the economy. Banks are the
financial intermediaries that collect money from surplus spending individual and
institutions (whose current income exceeds their current expenditure and they have
surplus funds to save and invest) and loan this fund to the deficit spending individuals
and institutions (whose expenditure on consumption and investment exceeds their
current income and who therefore need to raise fund externally through borrowing).
Banking has changed in many ways through the years. Banks today offer a wider range
of products and services than ever before, and deliver them faster and more efficiently.
But bank’s prime function remains as it has always been. In Bangladesh banks are the
first choice for saving, borrowing, and investing their money.

2.2 Definition of Bank


A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits from the public and creates credit.
Lending activities can be performed either directly or indirectly through capital
markets. Bank can be called as an establishment authorized by a government to accept
deposits, pay interest, clear checks, make loan, act as intermediary in financial
transactions and provide other financial services to its customer.
Bank is a financial institution that accepts the surplus money of the people in the form
of deposit and gives it to other form of loans and advances.
According to professor Chamber, “Bank is an office or institution for keeping, lending
and exchanging etc of money.”
According to John Harry, “Bank is an economic institution whose main aim is earn
profit through exchange of money and credit instrument.”
From the above definition we can say that, Bank is an institution which deals with the
money. It receives surplus fund from individuals or any organizations and gives money
to individuals or organizations that needed in exchange of profit or interest. So bank is
an intermediary between the surplus units of the society who save and the deficit units
of the society who borrow.
2.3 Features of a Bank
Bank is a financial institution which deals with other people’s money i.e. money given
by depositors.
1. A bank accepts money from the people in the form of deposits which are usually
repayable on demand or after the expiry of a fixed period.
2. A bank provides easy payment and withdrawal facility to its customers in the
form of cheques and drafts.
3. A bank works as an agent for its customer and provides utility services.
4. Banks make loans to consumers, businesses and organizations. Loans represent
funds that are extended by the Bank to the creditor who agrees to pay the funds
back, with interest, over a specified time period.
5. Banks are operated with the objective of making a profit. Their fee structure and
interest rate is designed with the intention of making money for owners and
shareholders.
6. A bank acts as a connecting link between borrowers and lenders of money. Bank

collects money from those who have surplus money and give to those who are in

need of money.

2.4 Banking
Banking is an activity which involves acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending
or investing. Banking also involves providing various other services along with its main
banking activity.
According to the oxford dictionary of Finance and Banking, “Banking is the activities
undertaken by bank.”
So we can say that, Banking is the summation of all activities of bank.

2.5 History of Banking


The English Word “Bank” is derived from Italian word “Banco” which means Bench. The
Latin “bancus” and French word “banque” which means a bench. There are the opinions
that the medieval European bankers (i.e. money changers and money lenders)
transacted their banking activities on the benches in the market place. This money
changing and money lending business is known as the “Banking Business.” The history
of Banking is very old; actually, the need of keeping the surplus of earning safely created
the need of banking activities. So, the concept of Banking first established around 2000
BC in Assyria and Babylonia. This concept spread to the Dutch Republic in the 16th
century and in the 17th century in London. Various monarchs have established the
necessity of banking in different ways. Banking concept was well established in the
whole Europe by the time of Adam Smith. He came along with the “Invisible Hand”
theory. Empowered by his views of a self-regulated company, money lenders and
bankers managed to limit the states’ involvement in the banking sector and the economy
as a whole. This free market capitalism and competitive banking found fertile ground in
the new world, where the United States of America was getting ready to emerge. At first
the US Banking system was not benefited by the smith’s theory. They only issued bank
notes against gold and silver coins. Alexander Hamilton, the secretary of treasury
established the national bank to direct the issuance of bank notes and maintain the
reserve of the bank notes. Gradually, many banking activities like loans, corporate
finance transferred at the hand of merchant banks. After the World War I, U.S. replaced
the Europe as the center of financial world. World War II created the opportunity to
spread the banking activities through the whole world. Banks have come a long way
from the ancient world, but the basic business practices have not changed. Now, at the
present world, banking activities have come in our own hand through the blessings of
internet and online activities.

2.6 Banking in Bangladesh


After the liberation war, and the eventual independence of Bangladesh, the Government
of Bangladesh reorganized the Dhaka branch of the State Bank of Pakistan as the central
Bank of the country, and named it Bangladesh Bank. This reorganization was done
pursuant to Bangladesh Bank Order, 1972 and the Bangladesh Bank came into existence
with retrospective effect from 16 December 1971. In the 80s it was increasingly felt that
a number of PCBs might have improved their position putting nationalized banks into
competition. The launching of PCBs has finally created a significant impact in quality of
services in banking. Banking being a service industry, it is not easy to quantify the
performance of this sector like manufacturing.
After the independence, banking industry in Bangladesh started its journey with 6
nationalized commercialized Banks, 2 State owned specialized Banks and 3 Foreign
Banks.
In the 1980s banking industry achieved significant expansion with the entrance of
private Banks. Now, Banks in Bangladesh are primarily of two types:

2.6.1 Scheduled Banks


The Banks which get license to operate under Bank Company Act, 1991 (Amended in
2003) are termed as Scheduled Banks. Banks which are included in the list of central
Banks are termed as Schedule Banks.
There are 57 schedule Banks which include:
 6 State Owned Commercial Banks
 2 Specialized Banks
 40 Private Commercial Banks
 32 Conventional Banks
 8 Islamic Banks
 9 foreign Commercial Banks.
2.6.2 Non-Scheduled Banks:
The banks which are established for special and definite objective and operate under the
acts that are enacted for meeting up those objectives, are termed as Non-Scheduled
Banks. These banks cannot perform all functions of scheduled Banks. There are 4 non
schedule banks.

Management Performance

“General Banking Activities of National Banking Limited” 31 | P a g e


5. 1 Introduction
A bank is a financial institution which accepts deposits, pays interest on pre-defined
rates, clears checks, makes loans, and often acts as an intermediary in financial
transactions. It also provides other financial services to its customers.
Bank management governs various concerns associated with bank in order to
maximize profits. The concerns broadly include liquidity management, asset
management, liability management and capital management.

Management means the administration and the governing body that is concerning the
whole organization. All the decision and strategies are been proposed and evaluated the
management of the organization. At National bank, the management is pretty strong and
there is lot centralization in the whole network of the bank. The management at
National bank has been divided into 3 major parts i.e. Board of Directors, the Top
management, and the group of middle managers, supervisors and the employees.

5.1.1 The Board of Directors:


The upper most part of the management is the Board of Directors or the Executives. The
Board of Directors is responsible for the first phase of the management process, i.e.
planning. So, all the decisions and the strategies are being proposed and implemented
under the instructions and the supervision of the board of directors or the executives.
Also the policies and the overall objectives of the Bank are being proposed at this level
of the organization.

5.1.2 The Top Management:


The top management involves the branch managers and the chief managers of the bank
including the operations managers as well. The major responsibilities include the
strategy formulating for the bank and supervising the whole staff at the branch. They
define and interpret the objectives and vision and then formulate policies for their
completion.

5.1.3 The middle management, supervisors and the employees:

“General Banking Activities of National Banking Limited” 32 | P a g e


Departmental heads constitute this level of management at National Bank Ltd. They are
directly responsible for planning and controlling the activities of officers. Finally, the
employee’s activities are monitored and controlled according to the desired objectives.

5.2 Bank Management System


Bank Management System Accepting deposits, clearing checks, paying interest on pre-
defined rates and making loans; a bank can be defined by such activities. Besides being
an intermediary in financial transactions, a bank can provide other financial services to
its customers. All these tasks and services are coordinated by a system called Banking
Management System.
Yes, banking management system governs a variety of concerns associated with a bank’s
efforts to render services and maximize profits.

5.3 The Origin of Banking Management System

The need for a system, which could ensure quality services to customers, had always
been there. The need for such system becomes really indispensable when many banking
activities are monitored by the government. Banks that deal with banking activities on a
larger scale are the ones usually have to comply with the rules set by the government.
And, this requires a bank management system. The system has proved effective in
coordinating among the customers, the government and the banks.
It gives us a system in which the government is allowed to play an important role with
its control over the banking system. And, the bank can also offer quality services to the
customers.

5.4 Evolution of Banking Management System


Modern banking system caters to a wide range of financial services. Banking
management system can be traced back to the Roman Empire where banking
management system was practiced. But, the system wasn’t systematic. And, it didn’t
have a framework as modern banking system does.
So, banking management system evolved gradually in each and every sector of the
banking sector.

“General Banking Activities of National Banking Limited” 33 | P a g e


5.4.1 The Major Changes a Banking Management System of Today Faced:
Some of the major changes that occurred regarding modern banking system are as
follows:

 Money replaced barter system, which produced transaction uniform


 To increase public trust, uniform laws were established
 Centralized banks were setup to manage other banks
 Book keeping transformed from papers to digital with the advent of computers
 ATM booths were established for easier withdrawal of money
 Internet banking system emerged with the introduction of Internet

5.5 Market Risk Management:


Market risk may be defined as the possibility of loss to a bank caused by changes in the
market variables such as interest rate, foreign exchange rates and market value of
equities. Market risks are broken down into various risk factors namely, foreign
exchange risk, interest rate risk and equity risk. Treasury division manages the market
risk and the asset liability committee (ALCO) monitors the activities of treasury division
in managing the risk.
Market risk occurs due to changes:
 In the market level of interest rates,
 prices of securities,
 Foreign exchange and equities,
 The volatilities of those changes.
Financial institutions may be exposed to Market Risk in variety of ways. Market risk
exposure may be explicit in portfolios of securities equities and instruments that are
actively traded. Conversely it may be implicit such as interest rate risk due to mismatch
of loans and deposits. Besides, market risk may also arise from activities categorized as
off-balance sheet item. Therefore market risk is potential for loss resulting from adverse
movement in market risk factors such as interest rates, forex rates, and equity and
commodity prices.

5.6 Empirical Analysis of Fund Management System:


“General Banking Activities of National Banking Limited” 34 | P a g e
To analyze the fund management I have analyzed of a bank’s Net Interest Income,
Liquidity Ratio (loan-deposit ratio), Return on Loans (ROL) and tried to compare with
bank’s profitability to find that whether there have any relations or not.

5.7 Problems in Loan Management:


Like all other banks, NBL provides loans to different parties for different purpose. The
recovery of all these loans is not certain. The loan which recovery is questionable is the
main problem in loan management. But it is possible for the bankers to prevent their
loan program from bad ones by detecting the risk elements with them and taking
measures in time. For this purpose, first of all, the authorized officer in loan section
checks the loan application properly in order to choose the right person for providing
the loan. He considers two factors to determine whether the loan is good or bad loan.

5.8 Fund Management and its Impact on Profitability:


It is already mentioned that effective fund management depends on less cost and less
volatile fund. It also depends on the effective utilization of the collected funds. From the
analysis, it is already clear that current deposit is the least costly source of deposited
funds whereas fixed deposit is the most costly source of deposited funds. But current
deposit is the most volatile sources in nature and fixed deposit is the stable nature. Term
deposit is consists of savings and fixed deposit. So, for getting an appropriate source of
fund structure, bank management must make a balance between current and term
deposit.

It can also use money market borrowing because it is less costly and flexible compared
to deposit. A bank can also rely on various off-balance sheet items for funding to its
needs.
Fund management also depends on the effective use of the collected funds. Improper
use makes the collected funds burden for the bank. In this part, various ratios are
analyzed both in the context of interest cost of the funds and their effective utilization.

5.9 Principles of Risk Management of NBL:


The primary objective of risk management is the protection of a bank’s financial
strength. Risk management is based on the following principles:

“General Banking Activities of National Banking Limited” 35 | P a g e


 Protecting the bank’s financial strength: NBL controls risks in order to limit the
impact of potential adverse events, both on its capital and on its financial results.
The risk appetite must be proportional to the available capital.
 Protecting the NBL’s reputation: reputation is essential for the proper
performance of a banker’s profession and needs to be diligently preserved.
 Risk transparency: for a good insight into NBL’s positions, it is vital to identify all
risks. Risks must always be considered as accurately as possible in order to be
able to make sound commercial decision
 Management responsibility: NBL’s business entities are individually responsible
for their results as well as for their risks associated with their operations. A
balance must be found between risk and return, while of course duly observing
the relevant risk limits.
 Independent risk control: this is the structured process of ensure integrity, the
risk control departments operate independently of the commercial activities. In
the normal course of business NBL is exposed to various risks, in relation to the
asset and liability portfolio of the bank.

5.10 Training and Development


Training and development consists of three materials, they are:
 Orientation
 Training
 Development

Task Completed During Internship Program & Knowledge
Gained During BBA Program to Accomplish Each Task

6.1 Definition of Internship:


Internship is a process to achieve practical knowledge about some theoretical lesson. Its
most important aspect is to acquire knowledge about the real position. As a practical
subject, Management needs some practical knowledge. Management of Business studies
includes an internship programs for its Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) programs.
According to Poling Efro (1977).
“Social Research is such a scientific effort which tries to discover new information
through some rational and organized system, which tries to examine the reliability of
former information, and which tries to make to new theories, systems and conceptions to
understand and Explain a human attitude”.
Practical work is achieved to fulfill our knowledge. In practical work, we can realize
some problems and possible determinants of their solution.

6.2 Importance of Internship:

Goods and services are produced for the purpose of using in daily life. Similarly,
Theoretical knowledge is acquired for the purpose of applying in the practical life. The
propensity of application of theoretical knowledge in practical life successfully
internship program is absolutely necessary because theoretical knowledge will be
fruitful if it can be applied in the practical life. When we can implement the theoretical
knowledge practically, we can say the knowledge is successful; otherwise the achieved
knowledge is valueless. Internship program is the way of implementing the theoretical
knowledge practically. However, the importance of internship may be described in the
following ways:

 As internship program is the practical implementation of the theoretical


knowledge, it helps to increase the quality and effectiveness of the trainer.
 We can only know the problems of an organization in directly through theoretical
knowledge, but we can know the nature of the problems, problems of the various
departments, methods of solving the problems through the practical training. So
it is very important to identify the problems and eradicate the problems.

“General Banking Activities of National Banking Limited” 37 | P a g e


 The trend of all activities is an organization becomes growing through practical
training.
 To Innovate new technique of management.
 To realize the present condition of the institution.
 To make policy for development of the organization.
 It mentally prepares for their professions.
 Internship program acts as a bridge between theoretical knowledge and
managerial practice. Internship acts as a guideline during the service period.
 By internship program students can understand limitations, shortages
and practicability of their knowledge and thereby can take necessary action
for removing these limitation and shortages.

academic knowledge acquired from BBA program. I also knew about the loan and
advance from the course “Banking and Insurance.”

Principle of Economics:

The theory of supply and demand is an organizing principle for explaining how prices
coordinate the amounts produced and consumed. The law of demand states that in
general price and quantity demanded in a given market is inversely related. That is the
higher the price of a product the less of it people would be prepared to buy of it (other
things unchanged). As the prices of a commodity falls; consumers move toward it from
relatively more expensive goods (the substitute effect).

Organizational Behavior:

This course helped me on developing an understanding of practical implications of


various theories of human behavior at work. Specific things I learned include
leadership; motivation; teamwork; different personality issues etc. This course helped
me in identifying the various personality traits through observation and dealing in a
proper and appropriate manner with them work as a team member; self development
etc.

“Marketing Management”. These two courses teach me how to behave with
customer/client that I performed in my internship. I provided necessary information to
the customer/client according to their query via phone.

various types of applications, how to prepare different types of reports, memos, letters,
agenda, etc. Therefore, this course helped me to communicate with different type of
people in the organizational and helped in writing application for internship.

 The bank should take the initiative to develop an effective research and
development center to get innovative ideas to capture the competitive market.
 Management should set proper planning for its operations of each and every
work for the whole bank as well as all branches of NBL.
 Accounting system of the Bank should be software base.
 The number of customer is increasing. To keep the commitment NBL must
increase its manpower. So the customer gets their result without wasting time.

work hard to make them believe that they are also a part of the team and the
bank does think about them.
 Stuck up advances should be reduced through more recovery at lower rate of
interest.
 NBL should take necessary step to increase their network facilities.

losing their many potential customers. So I think NBL should take necessary
step to easy their ATM card facilities for their customers. .
 Top management must ensure the proper implication of IT in all branches.
 In order to provide service, full-scale online system should be implemented.
Faster.

7.3 Conclusion:

“General Banking Activities of National Banking Limited” 45 | P a g e


The research paper is all about the General Banking and new products and services of
National bank ltd. National Bank is the first private bank of Bangladesh. The existing
products were successful to reach the consumer’s mind and as a result the number of
NBL has increased day by day. The old customers were satisfied with the existing
Products but day by day the numbers of consumers are increasing and with that the new
generation is getting connected with NBL.

In the changing concept of banking, financing in some areas, especially in advances to


agriculture, small industries, small borrowers and export oriented industries are
assuming great importance. Investment is the most important asset as well as the
primary source of earning for the bank. On the other hand this is also the major source
of risk for the bank. So the bank should always try to make an appropriate balance
between its return and risk involved with the investment portfolio. Close supervision
and effective follow up of investment activities might reduce the risk to a great extent.
An unsupervised investment might be stuck up. Consequently not only the depositors
but also the general share holders will be deprived of getting back their money from the
bank.
So as a private bank NBL is trying it’s best to extend their service to the public. NBL,
Laldighir Par Branch provides all kinds of commercial banking services to its customers.
Foreign Exchange department is doing well in rending all the services related to the
international trade and remittance. Though the advance of Laldighir Par Branch is high,
the Credit department will be in a good position if the Branch able to recover that.
General banking is engaged in cash receipt, payment, cheque clearing, opening accounts,
deposit scheme, and local remittance etc. So if the NBL wants to continue a profitable
business and position itself as one of the top bank in the bank arena then it has to earn
the trust of their assets and must be concerned about their commitment to the
customers.
