Findings –
ng the period of my internship program I collected various information according to various types of deposit & loan accounts. On the basis of these information and critical observation I find that the Dhanmondi branch of NBL is in a good position. From my point of view I discuss these informations in below:
- From the observation of various deposit accounts I find that the amount as well as the number of accounts is increasing dramatically day by day. In the month of April, 2009 the most accounts are decrease due to some reasons like rate of interest, account opening is low etc.
- We can see the performance of monthly savings scheme is very good than other deposit accounts. Other accounts like savings & short term deposit accounts are also appreciated.
- The authority should more concern about current and FDR accounts because the charts & graph shows that these two types of accounts increase but the level of increasing is not as like as other deposits accounts.
- The loan provided by the Dhanmondi branch is significantly increasing from last six months but the rate of increase is not sufficient.
- From the study of the chart & graph I find that the bank provide averagely TK.26,70,250/= from January to April but in last two months the average loan is increase & become TK.5,55,15,500/=.So the authority should give more concern to increase the bank loan.
- I interviewed 30 deposit customers & they think that the bank should provide online services, establish more ATM booths, reduce the processing time of application regarding various types of accounts, increase the money limit on credit card, reduce service charge etc.
- I also interviewed 10 loan customers & they suggest that the bank should give more emphasize on these matters like provide education loan, micro credit loans, reduce the amount of securities against loans, the rate of interest should decrease etc.
- The charts & graphs regarding customers’ satisfaction on deposit & loan account also shows that the customers of dhanmondi branch of NBL is satisfied with the bank services bur they want some improvement in the sectors which is already mentioned in the above. If dhanmondi branch of NBL can improve their service level than the bank can earn more profit & more customers’ satisfaction
Conclusion –
Bank is the blood of present financial system. Deposit Mobilization is the bread & butter of any bank. The endurance of any bank depends on how competently it can administer its customers with its services & facilities through Deposit Mobilization. I have work with National Bank as an internee for three months & found many positive reasons of people trust on NBL.I have acquainted with the deposit mobilization procedure of the NBL as it was the part of my internship program. It is an institution which is not only serving people with quality & special service but also serving with great courage. For this reason, the report of NBL is drastically increasing from last year. The analysis shows that NBL has secured its position in the banking business of our country. The track record of NBL mentioned on the analysis is a proof of its tremendous success in banking business. The comparative analysis with some other banks verifies the competitiveness of deposit mobilization of NBL.
However, people do trust on the officers & listen to their advices. The bankers also provide counseling to the clients who need to improve themselves financially. The deposit of NBL is increasing from its inception because people trust on the bank & the relationship with NBL maintains with its clients.Thus, I conclude basing on the analysis that the theme line of National Bank Ltd appropriately matches with the services it offers. The theme of National Bank Ltd is “A Bank for Performance with Potential”.
