CHAPTER-2

ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN

3.1 Works-Related:

I started my journey at Jamuna Bank Ltd. at Kamarpara Branch. I had the opportunity to get the

experience working over on two important departments of the bank-

of 33

A. Daily Transaction

B. Front Desk in General Banking.

C. Calculation of (TPKC)

D. Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT)

A. Daily Transaction in Jamuna Bank Limited:

This is the most confidential department of a bank. Recording all kinds of transactions of the branch, confirming their accuracy and preparing statements are the main job of this department. Now a day under computerized banking system, the jobs of accounts department become very easy. Now the computer directly prepares the clean cash statement on party ledger vouchers. The function of the accounts department can be divided into two parts: a) Daily function b) Periodical functions Daily functions: The routine daily tasks of the accounts departments are as follows: Record the daily transactions in the cash book.

Record the daily transactions in general and subsidiary ledger.

Prepare the daily position of the branch comprising of deposit and cash.

Prepare the daily statement of affairs showing all the assets and liability of the branch as per ledger and subsidiary ledger separately.

Pay all expenditure on behalf of the branch.

of 33

Periodical Tasks: The routine periodical tasked performed by the department are as follows:

Prepare the monthly salary statements for the employees.

Publish the basic data of the branch.

Prepare the weekly position for the branch, which is sent to the Head Office to maintain Cash Reserve Requirement.

Deposit so as to take necessary steps to generate and mobilize deposit.

JAMUNA bank instead of recording transactions in a journal initially, these are directly recorded and

posted in the ledger separating debit and credit by slip and voucher system. Records of all the

transactions of every department are kept here as well with other respective branch.

B. Front Desk in General Banking:

General Banking is the heart of all banking activities. Overall banking activities procedure start

with this department. This department performs the core function of the bank. The process

through which performs it operational function is known "Retail Banking". They take the deposit

from the customer, meet customer's demand for cash honoring checks.

This department works for opening new accounts, cheque requisition, issues bank draft & pay

order. All of these are part of General Banking.

General banking designed to serve the general people in saving money, smoothing transaction for

commercial people. It ensures security of the precious wealth of clients. FSIB has all the required

sections of general banking. General Banking includes the following activities-

Account open

Cheque requisition

Cheque delivery

Cheque issue

Client account statement of 33

Scanning of different documents

Client data entry or edit

Account opening:

People need bank account for different purpose. Generally there are four (4) types of account.

1. Mudaraba Savings deposit (Savings Account).

2. Al Wadia Current Account (Current Account).

3. Mudaraba Term Deposit (Fixed Deposit).

4. Mudaraba Special Deposit Pension Scheme (DPS- Deposit Pension Scheme).

Some people need personal account, some people need business account. Each and every

account has different purpose.

Cheque requisition:

Savings and current account holders need cheque book. Because those account holders

deposit and withdraw their money frequently. Without cheque book they cannot withdraw

their money. So realistically those account holders need cheque book for their transaction, for

business and personal purpose. When they open their account there is a separate form for

cheque book requisition. Account holders need to fill out those forms for their account

activation. Through banking software (Ababil) I give entry cheque requisition.

Cheque delivery:

After giving cheque requisition customers need to wait for their cheque book. After cheque

requisition normally it takes couple of working days to delivery cheque book to respective

customers. After that customers need to collect their cheque book from our branch.

Cheque issue:

When customers come to our premises for collecting their cheque book, they need to sign it

in a register book. After that I issued their cheque book and give it to them. After issuing

of 33

cheque book they can use their cheque book at any time when they wish. But it has to be in

between transaction hour, which is 10am to 4pm.

Client account statement:

Some customers ask for their bank account statement. According to their demand I gave bank

account statement to our customers. We didn't apply any charge for bank account statement.

Scanning of different documents

When I open an account, I need to collect different documents from customers. Ex- National

ID Card, Passport, driving Licence, Commissioner Certificate etc. So I need to scan those

documents for banking purpose. After scanning those documents I print it and return the

original copy to the customers.

Client data entry or edit:

In the account opening form customers write the details according to what is asking for. After

filling the form I need to cheque it. After that I need to entry those data in computer through

banking software. In the banking software there are minimum two (2) pages that I need to fill

out. In this software I can also edit the data if required.

Work safety: Health, safety and well-being are core issues for every employee in every

function and in every working situation.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an important starting point

3.3.2 Customer Communicate of FSIB:

The main task of a bank is to provide service to its honorable customers. Deposit is the major

source of fund of a bank. It is essential to know whether customers are satisfied with the service

provided by the bank or not. To know the opinion of general people about the performance of the

bank is also very important. Based on the customer's feedback the employers can take necessary

steps to change or modify their policies & procedures. This can provide the guideline how to deal

with the customers in a proper way. Thus management can manage all the tasks in a good way.

Therefore clients will be more pleased and very much loyal to the bank. This is very much

effective and profitable not only for the bank but also for its shareholders which will have a large

effect to the society as well. As a result the bank gets more deposits and becomes proficient to

contribute for the betterment of the economy.

As an Islamic Bank, First Security Islami Bank Limited is quite conscious of its social

responsibility and always trying to participate in social cause program in the country. The bank is

committed to serve the society at large through its family empowerment Micro Investment,

Micro Enterprise and SME programs under non-formal sector, social capital mobilization

through CASH WAQF and other programs under voluntary sector. The bank has already formed

CSR Desk with the aim to serve humanity through different philanthropic activities giving

emphasis on health and Education.

The Board of Directors of the Bank consists of winning personalities in respective area of Trade,

Commerce & Industry of the country. Under the proactive guidance, policy and direction of the

Board, Management conducts its business operations. The Corporate Governance systems in

FSIB ensure transparency and accountability at all levels in conducting business.

Economists and Lawyers to advise the Management on Sharia matters relating to the business

operations.

The Board of Directors provides leadership and direction to the Management to attain goals and

objectives of the bank. The solid performance of the bank that achieved is due to the divine

blessings of Allah Sobhanahuï¿½Tala and constant guidance, cooperation and support of the

Board & Shariah Supervisory Committee as well as committed, dedicated and hard work of the

Management Team.

3.3.4 The Processes for Delivering Customer Service:

The tools and the processes are as follow:-

1. Customer application form

2. Centralized software where the whole data is collected.

3. Wide range of offerings

of 33

4. Cross - selling

5. Feedback forms

1. Customer Application Forms:

Bank collects all the data from customer application form and gets the personalized information

to know which product to offer to which customer. This process helps in collecting the data and

knowing what the customer wants.

2. Centralized Software where the Whole Data is collected:

The data collected through customer application forms is available at one server and can be

accessed anytime, anywhere. So, this helps in the further process of customized offerings and

cross -selling.

3. Wide Range of Offerings:

After collecting the data from the customer, team decides what product to offer to which

customer. In case the bank recognizes you as a valuable customer then is offers a more

customized service.

4. Cross - Selling:

It refers to offering another product from the service offering of the bank to the customer which

he has not gone for. For example if customer has savings account with the bank then they offer

him a insurance, fixed deposits etc. This depends on the value of the customer to the bank. Cross

selling is not offered to every customer. It depends on how loyal the customer is to the bank. The

more business he gives us, the more are his chances of being special services offered.

of 33

5. Feedback Forms:

The bank distributes feedback forms at all its branches. The customers feedbacks on the

service, technology used, employee behavior and promptness in solving customer's problems, are

taken and they are analyzed. Good service helps to know the needs and wants of the customer.

So, on the basis of this company can decide which product to offer to which customer. It has

been observed that cross - selling is the best weapon. It enhances the relationship value with the

customer. This satisfies the customer and that is the reason why the customer keeps on coming

again and again to the company. This helps in retaining the market share. Now, the satisfied

customers help in the word-of-mouth promotion of the bank, which eventually increases our

market share.

3.3.5 Customer Acceptance of First Security Islami Bank Limited:

The success of any product is largely dependent on customer's satisfaction and acceptance.

Selling a product or a service is just the beginning of a relationship, which is to be built and

maintained over the year. Only this way the sense of loyalty is established in customer's mind.

First Security Islamic Bank Limited with the commitment - Journey towards excellence always

tries to offer better product to the customers as well as keeping in mind about the volatility of the

market.

CHAPTER-4CONSTRAINTS/CHALLENGES

of 33

4.1 Critical Observation:

At the same time as making this report I observed the JBL activities. Here I would like to

mention both positive and negative sides of JBL. Like as-

4.1.1 Right Findings:

Pressure from Directors for maintain to customer relationship management.

JBL plays a great role in placing the right person to the right job.

Each and every employee is very much active in performing their duties &

responsibilities.

They coordinate with different departments effectively.

A lot of savings & credit schemes have been introduced for different market

segmentation.

A lot of clients are involved with this branch & they are satisfied & very much loyal to

the bank.

It’s a newly generation bank & a short history of operation but successfully it has created

a brand image among the clients.

This branch is well decorate has enough space for the relaxation of the clients.

of 33

4.1.2 Wrong Findings:

Network of corresponded banks are very poor

Lack of Supervision and Monitoring

Higher cost of maintain customer relationship management

Lower Remuneration Structure.

Higher Rate of Interest.

Advertisements about various services are not properly managed.

Banking law & banking practice are found sometimes inverse.

4.2 Academic Preparation:

Moreover, yes; I found mismatch in working there. Although I started working in Foreign

Exchange department, after few days they transferred me to the General Banking section.

In fact only three months are not enough to understand the overall operations of a commercial

bank. Our course on banking was based on theories. Sometimes it was difficult to relate all the

practices of banking operation to the theories. Bank’s policy of not disclosing some sensitive

data and information for obvious reason posed an obstacle to the practical orientation that could

be very much useful. Non-availability of data and information that are more recent on different

activities of FSIB was a great difficulty to depict the actual and up-to-date business position of

the bank.

In American International University-Bangladesh gave me opportunity; I have learned almost

everything needed to perform here. But I think our practical knowledge needed to be more

developed. Most of our course instructors took assignment, presentation, case studies etc. This

can easily be done through the help of the internet-The most well known helping hand of the

decade-“Google”. But practical involvement with the organizations was not sufficient.

of 33

Moreover course duration was really a fact to consider. Teachers tried to provide practical

knowledge but time & opportunity were relatively low. Too much examinations & quizzes took

away the opportunities.

CHAPTER-5

LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

of 33

5 Lessons Learned From FSIB:

A financial institution intermediary that mediates or stands between ultimate borrowers and

ultimate lenders is knows as banking financial institution. Banks perform this function in two

ways- taking deposits from various areas in different forms and lending that accumulated amount

of money to the potential investors in other different forms. General banking department aids in

taking deposits and simultaneously provides some ancillaries services.

General banking is the front-side banking service department. It provides those customers who

come frequently and those customers who come one time in banking for enjoying ancillary

services. In some general banking activities, there is no relation between banker and customers

who will take only one service form bank. On the other hand, there are some customers with who

bank are doing its business frequently. It is an important department for all banks because it

provides day-to-day service to the customers. Front Desk is the important for general banking.

Customers give their deposits and meet their demand for cash by honoring cheques. Besides this

a customer opens new accounts, remit funds, issues bank drafts and pay orders etc.

of 33

After working at First Security Islamic Bank Limited, at Tongi College Gate Branch, I have

collected information, studied with my limited experience and gained some clear concepts that I

am intended to highlight precisely.

Checking and writing the Beneficiaries’ name on the Beneficiaries account opening book.

Writing the Saving Account Form.

Writing the Bank Draft.

Download the raw data about remittance through internet.

Successfully print the necessary document from the computer, using internet.

Foreign documentary bills for collection.

Opening and closing Special Deposit Scheme file.

Checking the Checkbook serial no.

Bank management: It allows bank managers should make decisions and maximize

the wealth of the bank’s shareholders.

Customer relationship management: I learned how to maintain customer

relationship management.

Foreign trade: Our domestic currency converts into foreign currency. Basically it

need for export, import and foreign remittance.

Exchange Rates: An exchange rate measures the value of one currency in units of

another currency. If a country’s currency begins to rise in value, its current account

balance will decrease as imports increase and exports decrease.

After finishing internship program at FSIB, I judge that all these will help me in building

my career. As an intern of FSIB, I have really enjoyed my internship from the learning &

of 33

experience viewpoint. I am confident that this internship program at FSIB will absolutely

help me to realize my further career in present job market.

CHAPTER-6

CONCLUDING STATEMENTS

of 33

6 Summary:

In general sense we mean “Bank” as a financial institution that deals with money. There are

different types of banks like Central bank, Commercial bank, Savings bank, Investment bank,

Merchant bank, Co-operative bank etc. But when we use the term bank it generally means

“commercial bank‟ that is one which is concerned with accepting deposit of money from the

public, repaying on demand or otherwise and withdraw able on demand or otherwise and

employing the deposits in the form of loan and investment to meet the financial needs of

business and other classes of society. Now-a day’s banking sector is modernizing and expanding

its hand in different financial events every day. At the same time the banking process is

becoming faster, easier and is becoming wider. In order to survive in the competitive field of the

banking sector all organizations are looking for better service opportunities to provide their

fellow clients. So it has become essential for every person to have some idea on the bank and

banking procedure.

of 33

First Security Islamic Bank (FSIB) is a Public Limited Company by shares in the Bangladesh,

with commendable operating performance. Directed by the mission to provide with prompt and

efficient services to clients, FSIB provides a wide range of commercial banking services also.

The bank has achieved success among its peer group within a short span of time with its

professional and dedicated team of management having long experience, commendable

knowledge and expertise in convention with modern banking. With all the resources,

management of the bank firmly believes that the bank would be able to encounter problems that

may arise both at micro and macroeconomic levels.

First Security Islamic Bank is a financial institution whose main objective is the mobilization of

fund from surplus unit to deficit unit. In the process of acceptance of deposits and provision of

loan, Bank creates money. This characteristics feature sets Bank apart from other financial

institution. The bank can influence the money supply through lending and investment. The bank

is an economic institution whose main objective is to earn profit through exchange of money and

credit instruments.

CHAPTER-7

SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT OR COURSE

OF ACTION

of 33

7 Recommendation:

As we all know FSIB is one of the well-known banks in our country. From my little knowledge

it’s quite hard to give recommendation to such a well-established bank. Still from my learning

and observation, I am giving following recommendation to follow:

They should do more marketing activities to improve their presence in the minds of their

potential target market. As we see that, Media coverage of FSIB is not so strong. To

attract new clients, they should go for mass media coverage like TV, Radio etc.

FSIB’s both loan processing service charge and loan processing time is quite high

compare to their competitors. To attract new customers as well as retain existing clients,

they have to set a standard rate and make the process fast.

of 33

As we seen percentage of non-performing loan is increasing year by year that means their

current strategy regarding recovery of loan is not working appropriately. To exist in the

market successfully they have to minimize the non-performing loan amount that’s why

they should take effective steps regarding this.

Maximum amount of loan is provided to the long-term industrial sectors. They

intentionally ignore the agriculture sector because of riskiness and safety issues. But for

the overall economic development of the country they should diversify their loans in

agriculture as well as SME sectors.

First Security Islamic Bank Ltd. should renovate its Front Desk as it remains extremely

busy the whole time and GB is the base for any bank.

The First Security Islamic Bank Ltd. should clarify and endorse publicity about their

position and their activities in socio-economic and socio-cultural development in

Bangladesh.

The bank can provide a student loan. In many countries bank provide this facility. This

may encourage the students to come forward to do something for the economy as well as

it will differentiate FSIB a bit.

FSIB has only 126 branches all over the country. Since day by day their demand is

increasing so it is quite hard to provide full range services with those branches. So they

need to put more attention toward the expansion of branch network as well as ATM

Booths.

After all, the main target of any organization should be to satisfy its customers or clients, because

they are the prime and most important concern to go forward. A loyal client is an asset of a bank

of 33

especially for a private bank like FSIB. Deposit is the major source of a bank’s fund which is

upholder by its clients. So the management of First Security Islamic Bank Limited should take

care of it.
