INTRODUCTION
1.1. Introductory Information
This section has dealt with introductory matters and overall design of field
work project.
1.1.1. Background Information
Nepal is one of the underdeveloped countries of the South Asia. It has
different geographical features. It has been facing the problem of
accelerating the pace of economic development. It has very low per-capita
income. The only one alternative of economic development is the maximum
utilization of existing human, economic, natural and physical resources in
the productive sector. For this purpose Nepal has been adopting mix
economic model in five year plans although the economic modality is under
restructuring phase. In this regard, banks play a vital role by identifying and
mobilizing the savings, which are scattered in small amounts in nook and
corner of the country. Banks collect the deposits from various a/c and invest
them in productive sectors. It deals with money and credit. It is an institution
that accepts deposits of customers and lends it out to those who require it for
investment. Thus, banks are those financial institutions that offer the widest
range of financial services especially saving and credit and perform the
widest range of function of financial intermediary for supporting the
business and industry in the national and international economy.
In Nepal there are development and commercial banks. Their number is
increasing very rapidly. Nepal Rastra Bank is central bank of Nepal. It
regulates, monitors and inspects the banking and financial sector and money
market. Banking regulation has made it mandatory that each bank should
establish its rural branch for extending its urban branches. Nepal's majority
of the population lives in rural areas. The poverty is also hedging in the same
area. Investment in new productive sectors has become compulsory for
creating employment and easy environment of development within country
boundary. At the same time many banks have been established aiming at
providing quick, quality and comfortable banking services to the general
public and commercial and industrial sectors. While speaking about
Dhading's banking sector, there are about dozen banks either development or
commercial ones. Agricultural Development Bank, Rastriya Banijya Bank,

use; loans that consumers and businesses can use to purchase goods and
services; and basic cash management services such as check cashing and
foreign currency exchange. Four types of banks specialize in offering these
basic banking services: commercial banks, savings and loan associations,
savings banks, and credit unions. But in developing countries like Nepal,
there are one more type of Bank-Development Banks.
A broader definition of a bank is any financial institution that receives,
collects, transfers, pays, exchanges, lends, invests, or safeguards money for
its customers. This broader definition includes many other financial
institutions that are not usually thought of as banks but which nevertheless
provide one or more of these broadly defined banking services. These
institutions include finance companies, investment companies, investment
banks, insurance companies, pension funds, security brokers and dealers,
mortgage companies, and real estate investment trusts.
Some definitions of Bank
Simply, Bank can be defined as the institution which is legally authorized to
create money and credit. Many scholars have defined bank with different
terms but with more or less same meaning.
R.S. Sayers defines bank as" I believe in that fact the banks are not
purveyors of money, but also in an important sense, manufacturers of
money."
G. Crowther defines bank in this way-"A bank is an institution, which
collects money from those who have it spare or who are saving it out of their
income and lends this out to those who require it."
On the other hand, Horace White defines bank as a manufacturer of credit
and machine for facilitating exchanges.
Professor R.P.Kinley defines Bank as "Bank is an establishment, which
makes to individuals such advance of money as may be required safety made
and to which individuals entrust money when not required for use."
According to Nepal's Commercial Bank Act, 2031(1974 A.D.), bank means
a commercial bank established under this act.
While summarizing above bank definitions it can be said about the nature of
bank that bank is an artificial individual created by state's law, it is financial
intermediary, it works as an agent, issues notes, accepts cheque, provides

family was founded by German financier Mayer Amschel Rothschild (17431812), but it soon spread to all the major European financial capitals.
The Bank of France was organized in 1800 by Napoleon. The bank had
become the dominant financial institution in France by the mid-1800s. In
Germany, banking experienced a rapid development about the middle of the
19th century with the establishment of several strong stock-issuing or
publicly owned banks.
Banking in the British Isles originated with the London goldsmiths of the
16th century. These men made loans and held valuables for safekeeping. By
the 17th century English goldsmiths created the model for todays modern
fractional reserve bankingthat is, the practice of keeping a fraction of
depositors money in reserve while extending the remainder to borrowers in
the form of loans. Customers deposited gold and silver with the goldsmiths
for safekeeping and were given deposit receipts verifying their ownership of
the gold deposited with the goldsmith. These receipts could be used as
money because they were backed by gold. But the goldsmiths soon
discovered that they could take a chance and issue additional receipts against
the gold to other people who needed to borrow money. This worked as long
as the original depositors did not withdraw all their gold at one time. Hence,
the amount of receipts or claims on the gold frequently exceeded the actual
amount of the gold, and the idea that bankers could create money was born.
Services Banks offer
Deposit Services
Commercial banks and thrifts offer various services to their customers.
These services fall into three major categories: deposits, loans, and cash
management services. There are four major types of deposits: demand
deposits, savings deposits, hybrid checking/savings deposits, and time
deposits. What distinguish one type from another are the conditions under
which the deposited funds may be withdrawn.
A demand deposit is a deposit that can be withdrawn on demand at any time
and in any amount up to the full amount of the deposit. The most common
example of a demand deposit is a checking account. Money orders and
travelers checks are also technically demand deposits. Checking accounts
are also considered transaction accounts in that payments can be made to
third partiesthat is, to someone other than the depositor or the bank
-5-
-6-
securities from one financial institution to another, and credit life insurance
which automatically pays off loans in the event of the borrowers death or
disability.
In recent years, banks have made their services increasingly convenient
through electronic banking. Electronic banking uses computers to carry out
transfers of money. For example, automated teller machines (ATMs) enable
bank customers to withdraw money from their checking or savings accounts
by inserting an ATM card and a private electronic code into an ATM. The
ATMs enable bank customers to access their money 24 hours a day and
seven days a week wherever ATMs are located, including in foreign
countries. Banks also offer debit cards that directly withdraw funds from a
customers account for the amount of a purchase, much like writing a check.
Banks also use electronic transfers to deposit payroll checks directly into a
customers account and to automatically pay a customers bills when they
are due. Many banks also use the Internet to enable customers to pay bills,
move money between accounts, and perform other banking functions.
For businesses, commercial banks also provide specialized cash
management and credit enhancement services. Cash management services
are designed to allow businesses to make efficient use of their cash. For
example, under normal circumstances a business would sell its product to a
customer and send the customer a bill. The customer would then send a
check to the business, and the business would then deposit the check in the
bank. The time between the date the business receives the check and
deposits the check in the bank could be several days or a week. To eliminate
this delay and allow the business to earn interest on its money sooner,
commercial banks offer services to businesses whereby customers send
checks directly to the bank, not the business. This practice is referred to as
lock box services because the payments are mailed to a secure post office
box where they are picked up by bank couriers for immediate deposit.
Another important business service performed by banks is a credit
enhancement. Commercial banks back up the performance of businesses by
promising to pay the debts of the business if the business itself cannot pay.
This service substitutes the credit of the bank for the credit of the business.
This is valuable, for example, in international trade where the exporting firm
is unfamiliar with the importing firm in another country and is, therefore,
reluctant to ship goods without knowing for certain that the importer will
pay for them. By substituting the credit of a foreign bank known to the
-8-
exporters bank, the exporter knows payment will be made and will ship the
goods. Credit enhancements are frequently called standby letters of credit or
commercial letters of credit.

The test shows that, at the 95 % confidence level (0.05 Significance level),
the calculated Chi Square Values of variables caste, decision making style,
competitors, motivating factors and interest rate sensitivity are greater than
the tabulated value for the given degrees of freedom. It means that there is
significant difference among the categories of tested variables. The
difference are real and not due to sampling variation.
Similarly the calculated Chi Square Values of variables VDCs, profession,
objectives, type of deposit, familiarity of interest rate, familiarity of
additional services, unique services and quality of services are smaller than
the tabulated value for the given degrees of freedom. It means that there is
not significant difference among the categories of tested variables. The
difference has appeared due to merely sampling fluctuation. The Chi-Square
test frequency tables (observed and expected, original and reduced level)
have been included in the appendix.
2. 4. Findings
Significant Chi-Square value indicates that for given degrees of freedom and
at specified significance level, there is a real difference among the categories
of variables. The significant Chi-Square value of the variable Caste of
respondents shows that there is not equal participation and access of
different ethnic groups in the banking activities and services. The
significance test indicates that marginalized groups are the least benefited
ones from the banking services of KIST Bank Ltd in Dhading district.
Janajatis and Elites have more access in services of KIST Bank.
Similarly, significant chi square value of the variable Decision making style
shows that most of the customers are self-motivated towards opening
accounts in KIST Bank. The advice and mouth-to-mouth publicity by bank
staffs has played second effective role to help the customers decide upon
opening a/c in KIST Bank in Dhading. The next variable whose chi square
value is significant is Other competitor banks in local area. This has
indicated that Rastriya Banijya Bank is the biggest one of competitor banks
where customers of KIST Bank have various saving accounts.
- 39 -
Although there are various competitors of KIST Bank in the local market,
the bank is successful to attract sufficient customers. The motivating factors
are namely Free services and facility, Higher interest rate, mixture of these
products, Location of bank premise and Quick good service. The significant
chi square value of this variable obviously demonstrates that the free
services and facilities have performed major role to attract customers. Free
ATM, ABBS and other free of cost services fall under this category.
Likewise the significance chi square value of variable Interest rate
sensitivity has indicated that most of the customers (14, 70%) are indifferent
to the interest rate decrease. Four (20%) respondents are sensitive in terms of
that they will invest anywhere else if the interest rate decreases. Similarly
two (10%) respondents say that, if the interest rate decreases, they will
decrease their balance gradually from their accounts.
The remaining variables are location (vdc), profession, objectives of
customers' bank visit, type of deposits, knowledge of interest rate,
familiarity of additional service, unique service and quality of banking

significance level for the given degrees of freedom is not significant for the
test statistics fall within the tabulated value. The difference between the

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
3.1. Summary of the Fieldwork project

Bank: A Case Study Of Dhading Branch, Dhadingbesi" was conducted to
find out the types of services provided by KIST Bank and gauge the
popularity of these services among customers. The study also aimed at
knowing the existence of relation among different levels and categories of
the nominal variables. The Questionnaire was administered to the 20
customers of the bank who visited the branch at the day the survey was
being carried out. The Software StatTrek and SPSS 14 were used to sample
bank, month, week and day of operation to collect and analyze the collected
data. The researcher undertook informal discussion with the bank branch
staffs also. Different reports, textbooks, journals, annual publication of
banks, online and offline both were gone through to get the idea of topic to
be studied. The collected data were analyzed using simple statistical tools
like frequency, percentages, mean, mode, standard deviation and chi square
value. The calculated statistics were tested at 95 % confidence level and
conclusion was drawn.
3.2. Conclusion
The Analysis of the data shows that the confidence interval of per customer
average number of a/c lies within 1.3+ 1.96*0.164 that is 0.9786 through
1.6214 in 95 % confidence level. Similarly per customer average age in
years lies within 30.5+ 1.96*1.9242 that is 26.73 through 34.27 in the same
confidence level. Similarly the Chi Square statistical test of five variablescaste of respondents, their decision making style pertaining to opening
various a/c in KIST Bank, KIST's competitor banking institutions,
motivating factors and interest rate sensitivity shows that there is significant
difference among different level and categories of these variables. It means
the differences are not due to merely sampling variation. The difference
carries important meanings regarding the researched aspects of banking
services of KIST Bank, Dhading.
3.3. Recommendations
The data analysis and finding suggests some important facts about the
banking services being provided by KIST Bank Ltd Dhading branch. On the
- 41 -
basis of above data analysis and findings, the researcher has pointed out
following recommendations:
3.3.1. Core Recommendation
KIST Bank Dhading branch has not spread its services to the
disadvantaged and marginalized people equally. Bank should equally
cater the banking needs of all ethnic and economic groups. It should
attract and bring such section of society under the umbrella of its smart
banking services. It should provide its banking services for the
upliftment of poor and marginalized people of Dhading.
The customers' decision regarding a/c opening in this bank seems
influenced with advice of bank staffs. So the branch must use its
dynamic staff's potential for motivating the customers. It should provide
decision platform for the self-motivated customers.
Rastriya Banijya Bank is the nearest competitor of this bank. There is
sufficient number of fresh customers also. The KBL should focus on
fresh customers rather than the shared customers who have multiple
deposits and various saving a/c in multiple banks.
It must continue its free services and facilities to keep on attracting
customers. The popular ATM and ABBS services shouldn't be dropped
soon. These are the magnetic weapons of this bank.
The contemporary money market is facing liquidity shortage. Dhading
is rural economy based district. Most of the population is living in
poverty. Neither there is employment generation nor sufficient
profitable investment opportunities. The share market is also
deteriorating. In such condition, the customers are looking very
sensitive to the interest rate behavior of the bank. The bank should
think once more before decreasing its interest rate given in various
deposit and savings a/c.
3.3.2. Other Recommendation
The bank branch should launch business loan quickly. This is because
businessmen are major customers of this bank which is increasing
gradually. Dhading is going to become industrial district as small and
medium type entrepreneurship is developing within its boundary.
Dhading is remote district but almost all VDCs have motor road access.
The bank branch must start mobile (bus) banking service to cater the
banking need of remote villagers.
- 42 -
The bank should expand its CSR component. Its majority of the
customers are from the age group of 20 through 25 years. To retain this
economically active population, the bank should launch youth-friendly
social packages in the district. This may include sponsorship of games
and tournaments in special occasions and so on.
The bank must give emphasis on research and development of unique
services because the banking sector is full of cut-throat competition.
Unique services may assist the bank to keep its mass of customers
intact and attract new customers.
The bank should keep on improving its pace of quick service.
The bank should aggressively go ahead to attract all categories of
customers. It should make its extra services familiar among all sectors
of population.
