It has correspondent relationship with almost all major 122 Banks of 109 countries of the world like Standard Chartered Bank, American Express Bank Limited, HSBC, HBZ Finance, Mashreq Bank PSC, Dresdner Bank AG and with local banks in Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bhutan etc with whom is plays role over advising, reimbursing and add confirming arrangement.

All correspondences of foreign trade both export and import is communicated through SWIFT. As a result foreign exchange trade becomes expeditious and instant.

Bank makes cash payment and takes cash receipts.net figure of cash receipt and payment added with opening cash balance .this figure is called closing balance.

The debit card can be used to withdraw cash at a bank like an ATM cart, and it can also be used at stores to pay for goods and services in place of a check.

Small Entrepreneurs, Agri. Clients and Women Entrepreneurs who are properly addressed by the diversified products designed for this purpose.

Challenges and Proposed course of action Identified in the Organization-

The SWOT analysis comprises of the organization’s internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats. SWOT analysis helps to identify the current position of the organization.

Drawbacks of the Organization

In spite of the good management system and customer service the organization has lack of performance. There are some areas which require extensive improvement. To remain established in the completive market Social Islami Bank must solve their problems and improve their service. The drawbacks they must work on are:

No enough ATM Booths

Social Islami bank does not have much ATM booths in Dhaka City and outside Dhaka as well. So the customer faces problems for withdrawal of money. Where the other commercial banks have emphasized on the ATM Boot, SIBL is far away from the competition. To ensure the customer satisfaction SIBL must increase the number of ATM booth in whole Bangladesh.

Bad network of ATM Booth

During my internship period I have noticed many times that the customers are complaining about the ATM booths. Sometimes the clients can not withdraw their money from the booth in spite of having balance in the account. Service of ATM booths must be updated.

Captured card

The debit/credit card of Social Islami Bank Limited is the VISA debit card. So it can be used in other VISA Card booths. But sometimes the card gets captured by those booths. That’s why the client face hassles. They need to give application to recover the captured card. I think this is the responsibility of the card division of SIBL.

No Automatic Transaction Profile

Transaction Profile is the profile of the client of savings and current account in which they mention an approximate amount of money which can take place in every transaction or the total amount of transaction in a certain month. Sometimes the client may violate the Transaction profile where there transactions exceed that certain amount. In SIBL if the TP violates the software does not notify that. So in every month the offices need to check the transaction profile of every client which is very time consuming. To avoid this updated software is required.

No Circular for the changing rates of deposits and loans

The rate of deposits and loans are fluctuating all the time. Whenever the rate changes an updated chart of rate or installment is needed for the customers. For DPS the customers need a chart to know about the installments and profits from the certain period. When the rate changes, the installment amount and maturity changes as well. But there is no updated circular or chart for the depository amount or maturity.

The head office should provide a new chart for the deposits and loans to all the branches. So the customer will not face any confusion.

No updated form

The account opening forms are not updated enough. All the accounts have the same form which is very confusing for the clients and the officials. For better customer service, the forms need to be more updated.

No enough promotional activities

SIBL does not give enough emphasizes to the promotional activities which results less popularity of it. When more people will get to know about the services , more people would like to involve with it.

Less motivational activities

The motivational activities can increase the quality of the performa.nce and can take the organization in the higher position. To get better performance from the employees the motivational activities should be broaden. Such as:

High-quality work environment
Standard amount of salary
Other beneficiary things
Poor service quality

The customer service quality is not satisfactory enough according to the perceptions of the customers, in terms of responsiveness and assurance of the employees in comparison with other banks. Most of the employees are not aware of the segmentation of the customers, which results into dissatisfaction of those customers.

Lack of waiting place

Compared to the amount of customer the waiting place for them is too little. The branch Manager should pay more attention to the comfort of the customers.

Conclusion

The Banks always contribute towards the economic development of a country. Compared to other Banks SIBL is also playing a leading role in socio-economic development of the country.

The bank is currently doing average. By analyzing its performance it is observed that a potential growth might be accelerated through effective implications of some policy. Being an old generation bank it has an advantage compared to newly established bank in the form of wide range of activities. However policy implication needs to be as fast as possible to grab the early mover advantage. The bank through years has been able to spread operation in mass banking rather than concentrating in niches. It can hedge poor performance of one sector by some other sector for its wide range of offering. Capital market operation has become a great potential for the bank to increase its profitability. SIBL is concentrating to establish new work stations in order to facilitate investor of remote places. The bank has been able to create a multi component portfolio. However none performing are a real challenge to the sound general banking management. Default is increasing for lack of monitoring. The bank is trying to increase its quality by accelerating its recovery policy.
