The report produced by the ShoreBank team, (Ronald Grzywinsky, Mary Houghton and lynn Pikholz) and the independent consultant, Kaisar Zaman, indicates that the market size would be over hundreds of billion of takas. The Bank quotes: “As a result of the achievement of the micro-credit providers, Bangladesh now has an hour glass shaped Banking market in which credit and other limited financial services are valuable to both very large and very small business and very wealthy and very poor individuals. While there is well-known informal system that provide credit to business, virtually nothing is available from either Banks or micro finance provider to the million the middle-business and individual – who are severely constrained in their ability to produce and save for lack of access to financial resources and services. Until modern, terms and conditions that small can access, Bangladesh will not be able to create the large middle class that is a prerequisite to social stability.”

As from the very first, the top management believed in empowered employees, where they refuse to put their finger in very p[art of the pie.

Companionable Environment | All office walls in BRAC Bank are only shoulder high partitions & there is no executive dining room. Any of the executives is likely to plop down at a table in its dining space & join in a lunch chat with whoever is there.

The management can consider options of starting merchant banking of diversify in to leasing and insurance. As BRAC Bank is one of the leading providers of all financial services in Bangladesh, it can also offer these services. |

Various other banks and institutions are currently offering this product. Since BRAC Bank is yet to introduce such a world-class product, it can also take advantage of this product and grab the market share. |

If any problem arises regarding customers, as well as company or if changes are required for customer service immediately, long hierarchy will impede the job done instantly. |

Upcoming Banks | The upcoming private local & multinational banks posses a serious threat to the existing banking network of BRAC Bank. It is expected that in the next few years more commercial banks will emerge. If that happens the industry of competition will raise further and banks will have to develop strategies to compete against and win the battle of banks. |
Lose of Customers | Absence of various products such as Credit Card, Housing Loan are causing various customer detract from BRAC Bank. This is a serious threat for BRAC Bank Bangladesh. |
Moderate Levels of Customer Satisfaction | BRAC Bank should continuously improve its customer service strategies and the overall service quality needs to win the customer satisfaction undoubtedly. |
Strong Presence of International Banks | These are a growing number of international and Multinational Banks in Bangladesh. Standard chartered, HSBC, City Bank, American Express and such other are expanding there operations here, poising threatening competition for BRAC Bank. |
Growing Bargaining Power of Customer | In the banking sector of Bangladesh, customers have a strong bargaining power since there a large number of commercial banks providing similar services. Customers have a wide range of options in deciding where to bank. They can either go for the Multinationals or run to new local banks for getting quality service, poising a serious threat of BRAC Bank. |
Innovative Competitors | New banks are entering into this industry with new facilities and better services, and consumers are becoming more fragmented. Competitors becoming more innovative to attract more customers by providing better products & services then their rivals. BRAC Bank has to be aware of this situation as they have already been facing the consequence of such problems. |
Default Culture | This is a major problem in Bangladesh. As BRAC Bank is a very new organization the problem of non-performing loans or default loans is very minimum or insignificant. However, as the bank becomes older this problem will arise enormously and the bank finds itself in a more threatening environment. Thus BRAC Bank has to remain vigilant about this problem so that proactive strategies are taken to minimize this problem. |
Limited Network | The geographic coverage of BRAC Bank is not that great. It is operating 5 out of 64 districts (Zone) of Bangladesh (Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshahi and Khulna) and has only 52 branches. Other nationalized commercial Banks (example: Uttara Bank, Jakuna Bank, etc.) have much expanded coverage. So, it seems that BRAC Bank Limited is losing potential sales. |
