Background of the Report
A country is financially rich when it has modern financial institutions of its own. These institutions play a vital role in the field of financial stability of a country. Banking sector is one of the stable financial institutions of a country. Due to Globalization and Technological change, the banking business has become very competitive now a day. All banks are competing to give effective real time service to their customers. For giving friendly service to the customers they need experienced and well-educated working force. But a bank is also judged by its overall performance and for that reason I made this report to illustrate the performance of Trust Bank ltd.
Objectives of the Report
The general objective of preparing this report is to find the performance of the bank.
I have gathered theoretical knowledge from my College. But there is a far difference between practical and theoretical knowledge. This difference was crystal clear to me while I was preparing this report.
To learn about the activities of the bank.
To learn internal environment of the bank
To observe Employee-Customer relationship.
To observe inter personal relationship between employees.
Scope of the report
The report will help to understand the overall performance as well as the individual unit performance of the bank.
The report it self will deliver the financial strength of the bank in the money market and it will also help to learn about the bank with its infrastructural facilities, its services, products, interest rates and location of branches.
Methodology of the Study
Sources of Data: Both primary and secondary data were required to attain the objectives of this study.
Primary data:
For Primary data face-to-face interview. Depth interview technique has been used to collect information about bank’s financial performance. The interviewing methods were applied on responsible authority like Management trainees, officers, DGMs, AGMs, and the bank manager himself. They told us that why they think that they are running a successful banking operation.
Secondary data:
Some published materials of the bank under study have been used as the sources of secondary data. The published materials for the present study include list of journals, articles, notifications, important and also confidential report of Bangladesh Bank, guide books, annual report, brochures and web site etc. Trust Bank has provided those materials and help in collecting data for analysis and interpretation.
Web link of TBL to make this report has helped me to show the necessary information regarding the bank itself.
Limitations of the Study
It is natural that every journal, report has a few limitations. This report is not an exception. To work with this report I have faced some theoretical, informatory and confidential limitations. In this regard there are plenty of information and theory to use but not everyone is accustomed to using it.
In this report I have drawn some limitations. These are mentioned as below:
It was very hard to collect information from Officers and staffs because they were extremely busy with their day-to-day official works.
Original data could not be collected in some cases due to confidential reasons of specific units.
Since information is not contained in a compiled form it was difficult to collect up-to-date data on the subject in spite of co-operation from the officers and employees.
Another major limitation of the study was the lack of scope for communication with other banks’ officials and banks so the report may lack in comparison.
I did not work with full concentration because there were various types of general activities of the bank.
The time period was not sufficient to made this report so elaborative.
I have used limited data in this report.
This report tells about the activities of The Trust Bank in a nutshell.
Most of the data are collected from Secondary as well as Primary sources.
