Sample Size of the Study

I have conducted my survey among the existing customer of DBBL Savar Bazar Branch. But because of shortage of time, I took only 30 customers as my sample size.

In my internship period, I was assigned to work in several department of the bank in DBBL Savar Bazar Branch and I have tried to observe and understand the all banking activities especially General Banking activities.

Limitation:

One of the major limitations of this study was the time limitation. For survey work it was not possible to take the sample size more then 30. With in a very short time it was not possible for me to collect data from section and work in every department. There are also some limitations those are follows-

• All the officers were very much busy with their day to day work. So they could not provide me enough time.
• Office secrecy was also one of the major problems. Some time they did not disclose some confidential data.
• In some cases they could not able to providing me about my topics related data for preparing a more depth research study.
• I carried out such a study for the first time, so inexperienced is one of the main constraints of the study.

 Background

Dutch-Bangla Bank Limited (the Bank) is a scheduled commercial bank. The Bank was established under the Bank Companies Act 1991 and incorporated as a public limited company under the Companies Act 1994 in Bangladesh with the primary objective to carry on all kinds of banking business in Bangladesh. The Bank is listed with Dhaka Stock Exchange Limited and Chittagong Stock Exchange Limited.

DBBL- a Bangladesh European private joint venture scheduled commercial bank commenced formal operation from June 3, 1996. The head office of the Bank is located at Senakalyan Bhaban (4th floor),195, Motijheel C/A, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Bank commenced its banking business with one branch on 4 July 1996.

 Brief History

Dutch-Bangla Bank started operation is Bangladesh’s first joint venture bank. The bank was an effort by local shareholders spearheaded by M Sahabuddin Ahmed (founder chairman) and the Dutch company FMO.

From the onset, the focus of the bank has been financing high-growth manufacturing industries in Bangladesh. The rationale being that the manufacturing sector exports Bangladeshi products worldwide. Thereby financing and concentrating on this sector allows Bangladesh to achieve the desired growth. DBBL’s other focus is Corporate Social Responsiblity (CSR). Even though CSR is now a cliche, DBBL is the pioneer in this sector and termed the contribution simply as ‘social responsiblity’. Due to its investment in this sector, DBBL has become one of the largest donors and the largest bank donor in Bangladesh. The bank has won numerous international awards because of its unique approach as a socially conscious bank.

DBBL was the first bank in Bangladesh to be fully automated. The Electronic-Banking Division was established in 2002 to undertake rapid automation and bring modern banking services into this field. Full automation was completed in 2003 and hereby introduced plastic money to the Bangladeshi masses. DBBL also operates the nation’s largest ATM fleet and in the process drastically cut consumer costs and fees by 80%. Moreover, DBBL choosing the low profitability route for this sector has surprised many critics. DBBL had pursued the mass automation in Banking as a CSR activity and never intended profitability from this sector. As a result it now provides unrivaled banking technology offerings to all its customers. Because of this mindset, most local banks have joined DBBL’s banking infrastructure instead of pursuing their own.

Even with a history of hefty technological investments and an even larger donations, consumer and investor confidence has never waned. Dutch-Bangla Bank stock set the record for the highest share price in the Dhaka Stock Exchange in 2008.

Introduction to Electronic-Banking

Dutch-Bangla Bank is the first bank in Bangladesh to be fully automated and introduce Electronic Banking. The automation was completed in 2003, but further additions and features are continuously being added and upgraded. DBBL has adopted the same exact automation solution used my many international banking giants. Although this was significantly more expensive than other solutions, it is a small price to pay for a client’s peace of mind.

A DBBL client now has unrivaled access to banking from any DBBL branch, ATM and POS. All of these services are free-of-charge and are surprisingly affordable for everyone. Even though DBBL has invested more in Electronic Banking more than any other bank, the division was never intended to be profitable. It was undertaken with the same mindset DBBL undertakes its Corporate Social Responsibility tasks. This is why you pay barely nothing even though these same services would cost you much more in other countries and other banks. Never has any bank given so much for free.

DBBL also has the largest ATM network in Bangladesh. This gives DBBL clients full access to ‘anytime anywhere’ banking nationwide. All international and many local banks use the DBBL ATM network for their own clients. DBBL has installed over 800 ATMs nationwide. As with most things, ATM access to all DBBL ATMs is unlimited and free for all DBBL clients. If a client of a member bank (not DBBL) uses a DBBL ATM, the member bank may add a transaction charge.

DBBL has the largest IT budget in Bangladesh. DBBL maintains the state-of-the-art Electronic-Banking Division. The Electronic-Banking Division oversees and maintains DBBL’s investment as well as implementing upcoming projects.

DBBL is the only local bank to have a off-site Data Recovery Site (DRS). DRS ensures that customer records are safe, backed-up, and up to date in the event of a major catastrophe at the Electronic-Banking Division headquarters.

Since 2004, DBBL has introduced mobile and SMS banking. With a mobile phone, customers can perform many banking operations with their phone.

DBBL is a primary license holder for both VISA and Mastercard. It is authorized to issue and accept payments from both organizations. DBBL also works closely with both organizations to bring you the latest in card technology. DBBL also offer Visa and Mastercard Debit Cards.

Internship Learning Points and Findings of the study

This chapter deals with two parts, first I tried to explain my major learning points from various departments of the branch according to my position and duties. Second I describes the findings of my study.

Learning from General Banking Department

As I most of the time of my internship period in Generl Banking Division I have acquire lot of banking knowledge from this department. Among those I have mentioned some of my learning points from this department.

 Account Opening Section

The main functions of this section are to open different types of account on the request of client. From this section I learnt how to open different types of account like savings account, currant account, salary account and different types of scheme. This section I also learnt how to  make a customer’s IC and ID number by using Bank’s software (Flexcube), how to scan , link and authorize photo and signature. In this section I also learnt how to issue, add, authorized and delivered check book. I also learnt how to close an account.

Clearing Section

Clearing Section is very important section in General banking division. Almost every section of different has been linked with this section there are many types of work I did in this section like-

a)     I learnt how to receive a clearing cheque from the clients b) how to record the cheque in the OBC book and giving the OBC number c) I  suffix crossing seal, OBC and authorized seal. d) making the list of OBC cheques in MS Excel sheet and then I posted the cheques at local office for collection.

 Front Desk Section

This is another important section in GB. Here I have learnt how to handle different types of customers. Here I also learnt how to balance inquiry, giving customer’s bank statement, transferred  balance from one account to another account of DBBL.

 Card Section

Here I have learnt how to shorting the PIN number, card and confirmation letter delivering the card and take the customer signature in confirmation letter recording the card registered book, matching the signature, posting card activation message to card division under BDMS (Bank’s own software which directly link with card division) for active delivering card. Here I have alsolearnt how to solve various types of problem of clients about card such as lost card replacement, forgotten Pin number etc.

Findings of the study

Among the three department of the bank, I have worked in only two departments. I more emphasize on General Banking Activities, in order to prepare my report. Basically my findings cover two major areas , first “ Customer Satisfaction About DBBL Debit Card Service.” To learn the satisfaction level of the customer I have conducted a survey based on some questions. From the survey I have find some complain about the services in some causes they are satisfied and expected more.

 Customers are satisfied about –

• The numbers of ATM Booth are satisfied able.
• 24 hours cash withdrawal facilities.
• No per transaction cost.
• Cheapest yearly service charge.
• Lower cost then any other bank.

Customer’s complain about-

• Weak internet connection.
• Small amount of money in ATM Booth so that Booths are MT.
• Machinery problem.
• Electricity problem.
• Poor physical condition of card.

Customer’s expectation –

•  Daily withdrawal limit from ATM are needed to increase from 50,000 to 1, 00,000.
• Reissuing charge for card and PIN number are needed to reduce.

Another major area of my findings is “Banking Practice to Meet Customer’s Need.” In my internship period I observe that customers are not satisfied about DBBL banking service. Some time DBBL Savar Bazar Branch stop DPS and FDR and also the interest rate are fluctuated very frequently so the customers are facing problem to adjusting their balance. They are also thinking that to get loan from this branch is more difficult.

Customers are expecting more from DBBL. Their expectations are –

• Customers want flexible banking time.
• Credit Card service.
• Smooth and fast internet banking.
• Increasing interest rate on their savings and fixed deposit.
• Decreasing interest rate on credit.

Recommendation

My three months experience in DBBL at various Departments lead to recommend on following issues

• Different types of product and services are available in DBBL, but clients are want more banking product and services such as- credit card service, smooth and fast internet banking services, flexible banking time.
• Clients of DBBL are not satisfied about their Credit Division. They think that they are not getting better services from this department. So this department should be flexible about loan sanction.
• DBBL should follow a stable interest rate. Clients are embarrassed about the fluctuation of interest rate.
• DBBL should try to reduce the rate of commission and charges for different services.
• The bank should increase the number of ATM Booth and speared it in different area.
• The amounts of money in every ATM Booth are needed to increase.
• The personnel of different section of GB in not sufficient to provide efficient services to the clients. So, it necessary to increase the number of personnel.
• DBBL should introduce more innovative modern product and services for their product line.
• The bank should decrease the charge for reissued PIN number and replaced card.

Conclusion

DBBL- a Bangladesh European private joint venture scheduled commercial bank commenced formal operation from June 3, 1996. The Bank commenced its banking business with one branch on 4 July 1996. Internship is an integral part to complete the BBA degree.
