INTRODUCTION
General Banking of Trust Bank Limited page 2

Introduction of Topic:
This internship is a part of the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program that
provides an on the job experience to students. I was placed at Trust Bank Limited, Jalalabad
Cantonment Branch as an internee officer for three months. This internship program was
my very first on the job exposure and provided me with learning experience and knowledge
in several areas. During the first few weeks on my internship period, I was able to get
accustomed to the working environment of Trust Bank Limited. As the internship continued,
I not only learned about the activities and operations of correspondent bank, but I also
gathered some knowledge about the basic business activities of banking in first one month
of my internship period.

Generally by the word “bank” we can easily understand that the financial institution deals
with money. But they are difference types of bank such as; Central bank, Commercial Bank,
Saving Banks, Investment Bank, Industrial Banks, co-operative Banks etc. commercial bank
are the primary contributors to the economy of a country. So we can say commercial banks
are a profit making institution that holds the deposits of individuals and business in
checking and saving accounts and then uses these funds to make loans. As, banks are profit-
earning concern, they collect deposit at the lowest possible cost and provide loans and
advances at higher cost. The differences between two are the profit for the bank.

Efficacy of customer service is related with progression of operation. We can identify the
efficacy of customer service by studying the progress of “Trust Bank Limited.” The progress
of “Trust Bank Limited” is very rapid with the concern of its profit making and growth of its
operation within the country towards the country’s economy.

Trust Bank Limited pursues decentralized management policies and gives adequate work
freedom to the employees. This result is less pressure for the workers and acts as a
motivational tool for them, which gives them, increased encouragement and inspiration to
move up the ladder of success. Overall, I have experienced a very friendly and supporting
environment at Trust Bank Limited, which gives me the pleasure and satisfaction to be a
part of them for a while. While working in different departments of this branch I have found
each and every employee too friendly to us to cooperate. They have discussed in details
about their respective tasks. I have also participated with their works.

A) Rational for Internship

The Internship program is very helpful to bridge the gap between the theoretical knowledge
and real life experience as part of Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program. This
internship report has been designed to have a practical experience though the theoretical
understanding.

Internship program is essential for every student, especially for the student of Business of
Business Administration, which helps them to know the real life situation. For this reason a
student takes the internship program at the last stages of the degree, to launch a career
with some practical experience. As a complete fulfillment of internship program introduce
the student with the real business situation.

This report is a part of my academic program. This internship program has been set for
three months period at Trust Bank Limited as a part of my BBA program all courses based
on theoretical and we have to learn practically. The program has helped me a lot to
understand the organization atmosphere and behavior and I have some practical knowledge
about “general Banking of Trust Bank Limited.” The program covers has a period of 12
weeks of organization to upsurge relationship among them for further opportunities.

Internship is a great opportunity to gain ideas, knowledge and experience with applying
academic knowledge. Through the internship program, a student gets the opportunity to
face with the real business world. It helps to build self-confidence, and interpersonal skills
which is important for entrance as a fresher in job market. It is also beneficial for both a
student and organization to upsurge relationship among them for further opportunities.

As a mandatory part of my graduation, I took the opportunity to conduct my internship with


one of the renowned private commercial bank in our country, Trust Bank Limited. With the
help of Ashraful Haque Chowdhury, Assistant Officer of General Banking Department, I have
performed my internship report on “general Banking of Trust Bank Limited.” My academic
supervisor Mr. Gulam Mokat Dhir, Senior Lecturer, Department of Business Administration
approved the topic and allowed me to prepare the report as part of the fulfillment of
internship requirement as well as gave me appropriate guidelines.
General Banking of Trust Bank Limited page 4
I get the privilege to work at Trust Bank Limited from 15 January 2017 to 15 April 2017. In
recent banking sector, Trust Bank Limited has already created a positive image to the
customers mind by providing best banking service. This bank has introduced some modern
banking scheme that has gotten high market demand.

B) Background of topic:

This report has been prepared as a requirement of the internship program BUS 400 under
the BBA program of Metropolitan University. I get the opportunity to work in one of the
renowned banking brand of the country - Trust Bank Limited. I was placed in the Jalalabad
Cantonment Branch of National Bank for my internship program and prepare a report on
the general banking practices of Trust Bank Limited. I got the opportunity to observe the
banking practices in person and assist in different departmental work and attend a on the
job training from working in all the departments of the bank.

The report basically puts a deep insight into different banking products of Trust Bank. Trust
Bank has all the banking products (Account open, Account closed, Card re-issued, Received
clearing cheque, Dispute, Cheque issued, Debit card etc.) and maintains a very thorough
practice of each of its products. The report is prepared to give a little idea about all the
products.

The report was prepared with the observation of three months internship program. This is
one of the biggest limitations of the report that the study done for preparing the report was
a very short period of time and therefore the report contains information about most of the
banking products and practices those were prominent during the period.
General Banking of Trust Bank Limited page 5

C) Objective of the report


a) Broad Objective

The objective of the internship program is to familiarize student with the real market
situation, to compare than with the business theories and at the last stage make a report on
assigned task. The main objective of this report is to have an assessment about overall
activities of “Trust Bank Limited.” How the bank is providing facilities to its clients and to
suggest remedial means for the development of overall banking activates of “Trust Bank
Limited.” In addition, the study seeks to achieve the following objective.

b) Specific Objective

 To present an overview of “Trust Bank Limited.”


 To get an overall idea of banking from banker’s point of view.
 To apply theoretical knowledge in the practical procedures of day to day banking
operation.

General Banking of Trust Bank Limited page 6
Scope of the report:

The internship report covers all trade related products handled by the “Trust Bank Limited”
such as Foreign Exchange, Cash Department, Dispatch, Accounting Opening, Remittance,
Accounts, Loan and Advances, Cheque Clearing etc.

The report has been prepared through extensive discussion with bank employees and with
the customer. While preparing this report, I had a great opportunity to have an in depth
knowledge of all the banking activities practices by the “Trust Bank Limited.” It also helped
me to acquire a firsthand perspective of a leading Private Bank in Bangladesh.

Methodology of the report:

Interview of the basic technique complied to collect primary data for any people within the
organization. Information about the varieties of activities within the correspondent Banking
Department was collection through interviews. Data regarding the types of products offered
to the clients and the description for each of products was gathered though interviews.
Beside, on-the-job experience has also helped me learn quite a few things about the
corresponding Banking Department and organization as well.

General Banking Operation manual and Lecture sheet within the organization helped me to
gather data about the organization. Data have also been collected by going through
different circulars issues by the head office and Bangladesh Bank during the tenor of the
internship.

Limitation of the report:

The present study was not out of information. But it was a great opportunity for me to
know the banking activities of Bangladesh specially “Trust Bank Limited.” Some constraints
are appended bellow-

 The main constraint of the study is inadequate access to information, which has
hampered the scope of analysis required for the study. As it is a new bank it could
not start all its operation, it was unable to provide some formatted documents data
for the study.

General Banking of Trust Bank Limited page 7


 Due to time limitations, many of the aspects could not be discussed in the present
report.
 Every organization has they own security that is not revealed to other. While
collection data i.e. interviewing the employees, they did not disclose much
information for the confidentiality of the organization.
 Another problem is that creates a lot of confusions regarding verification of data. In
some cases more than one person were interviewed to clarify each concept as many
of the banking failed to provide clear cut idea about the job they perform.
 The clients were too busy to provide me much time for interview.
 I have had to opportunity to compare the General Banking System of the TBBL with
that of other contemporary and common size banks. It was mainly because of the
shortage of time and internship nature.

Chapter Three
OVERVIEW OF THE SPECIFIC INDUSTRY

General Banking of Trust Bank Limited page 11


Bank:
A bank is a financial institution licensed to receive deposits and make loans. Banks may also
provide financial services, such as wealth management, currency exchange and safe deposit
boxes. There are two types of banks: commercial/retail banks and investment banks.

Banking Industry in Bangladesh:


The gradual improvement in the overall policy environment has enabled Bangladesh to
improve its economic performance in recent years. Successive governments in Bangladesh
have been confronted with the problem of stimulating the economic growth rate in a
country where a substantial segment of the population lives below the subsistence level.
Economic policies are still guided by five year plans. Nevertheless, some progress has been
made over the years, such as self -sufficiency in food grain production, reducing the
population growth rate, poverty alleviation and boosting export income. The prospect of
economic growth in Bangladesh in the near future will depend on the pace of economic
reforms and the quality of macroeconomic management. Accelerating the rate of economic
growth will require higher levels of investment. This will primarily come from private flows
of foreign direct investment.

The banking industry of Bangladesh is mainly divided into two sectors, such as Specialized
Banks and Commercial Banks. The Specialized Banks are those banks that deal with specific
sectors or industry of an economy. For instance, Bangladesh Krishi Bank only deals with the
agricultural sector of the economy; Bangladesh Shilpa Bank only deals with the industrial
sector of the economy, etc.

On the other hand, Commercial Banks are Scheduled Banks that are operating in the
country under the rules and regulations of the Central Bank. Commercial banks in turn can
be grouped as Nationalized Commercial Banks, Foreign Commercial Banks and Private
Commercial Banks with three different segments, such as 1 st Generation Private Commercial
Banks, 2nd Generation Private Commercial Banks, and 3rd Generation Private Commercial
Banks.

General Banking of Trust Bank Limited page 12


Commercial Banks in Bangladesh are not allowed to do business other than just banking.
Normal activities include borrowing, raising or taking up of money, lending or advancing of
money with or without security. They are also authorized to issue letters of credit, trade in
precious commodities and buying and selling of foreign goods excluding foreign bank notes.
They are also authorized to trade in bills of exchange, promissory notes, coupons, drafts,
debentures, certificates and other instruments approved by Bangladesh Bank (BB). Banking
companies are required to provide safe vaults and are authorized to collect money and
securities.

Bangladesh Bank (BB) yesterday asked commercial banks to double its present capital base
to Tk 400 crore and said them not to provide any cash dividends to their shareholders until
the enforcement of the new instruction. In a circular the BB said it raised the minimum
ceiling of paid-up capital and statutory reserve of all scheduled banks operating in
Bangladesh to Tk 400 crore from current Tk 200 crore. The commercial banks must meet up
the shortfall by August 11, 2011, the circular said, adding that the banks that would fail to
pay might merge with other banks or financial institutions.

History of banking in Bangladesh bank:

After the Liberation War and the eventual independence of Bangladesh, the Government of
Bangladesh reorganized the Dhaka branch of the “State Bank of Pakistan” as the central
bank of the country, naming it “Bangladesh Bank.” This reorganization was done pursuant
to Bangladesh Bank Order, 1972, and the Bangladesh Bank came into existence
retroactively from 16 December 1971.

The 1971 Mujib regime pursued a pro-socialist agenda. In 1972, the government decided to
nationalize all banks to channel funds to the public sector and to priorities credit to those
sectors that sought to reconstruct the war-torn country – mainly industry and agriculture.
However, government control of the wrong sectors prevented these banks from functioning
well. This was compounded by the fact that loans were handed out to the public sector
without commercial considerations; banks had poor capital lease, provided poor customer
service and lacked all market-based monetary instruments.

General Banking of Trust Bank Limited page 13


Because loans were given out without commercial considerations, and because they took a long
time to call a loan non-performing, and once they did, recovery under the erstwhile judicial system
was so expensive, loan recovery was abysmally poor. While the government made a point of
intervening everywhere, it didn't set up a proper regulatory system to diagnose such problems and
correct them. Hence, banking concepts like profitability and liquidity were alien to bank managers,
and capital adequacy took a backseat.

In 1982, the first reform program was initiated, wherein the government denationalized
two of the six nationalized commercial banks and permitted private local banks to compete
in the banking sector. In 1986, a National Commission on Money, Banking and Credit was
appointed to deal with the problems of the banking sector, and a number of steps were
taken for the recovery targets for the nationalized commercial banks and development
financial institutions and prohibiting defaulters from getting new loans. Yet the efficiency of
the banking sector could not be improved.

Bangladesh Bank, the central bank and apex regulatory body for the country's monetary
and financial system, was established in Dhaka as a body corporate vide the Bangladesh
Bank Order, 1972 (P.O. No. 127 of 1972) with effect from 16 December 1971. At present it
has ten offices located at Motijheel, Sadarghat, Chittagong, Khulna, Bogra, Rajshahi, Sylhet,
Barisal, Rangpur and Mymensingh in Bangladesh; total manpower stood at 5807 (officials
3981, subordinate staff 1826) as of 31 March 2016.

Bangladesh Bank is both the government's banker and the banker's bank, a "lender of last
resort". Bangladesh Bank, like most other central banks, exercises a monopoly over the
issue of currency and banknotes. Except for the one, two, and five taka notes and coins, it
issues all other denominations of Bangladeshi taka.

department is one of the main sources of TBL’s profits.

When bank wants to give loans of advances to a borrower, first of all he has to de LRA

Because this amount, which to given to, a borrower, actually comes from the public and it is
repayable on demand. So, bank has to be careful when giving loans and advances. When
banks cannot collect the loan amount with interest, they have to bear losses.

If TBL agrees to give loans and advances to a borrower after analyzing all sorts of risk, then
the borrower writes an application addressing the manager and the amount, business types,
securities etc. also are mentioned in the application. And after doing this he sanction the
loan. He can also collect the borrower’s credit report CBI (Credit Information Bureau)
Department of Bangladesh Bank.

The manager can section specific amount of loans and advances. If the loan amount crosses
this limit, then he will recommend it to regional office. Regional manager also has limit for
sanctioning loans and advances. If the amount of loans and advances above this limit, he will
recommend it to the head office. Then head office will sanction that loans and advances.

TBL sanction loans and advances under certain terms of conditions. When the borrower’s
loan is sanctioned, he is known through intimation a copy of sanction letter. If he accepts all
terms of conditions, then he has to come within 3, 7 and 15 days whatever mentioned in the

 Giving better customer service, full computerization of all activities, Supply of new
PC’s in place of old one, sufficient numbers of PC needed of proper working.
 Interior decoration should be introduced for clients comfort.

So, that the employees will able to perform will at the end.
 The spread out mechanism of the bank should be faster and progressive as well.
Being established in1999, the bank has established only one handed eleven branches
in eighteen (18) years. The mode of extension is much slower than other
contemporary and equivalent banks.
 On line banking should be introduction to compete with multination banks.
 The management should care for the personal more. At the recruitment stage, it
should go for the best candidate and after selection the personal should be allowed
with proper opportunity to be expert on particular task bestowed on them.
 More product of varied interested should be introduced for the diversified client
group.
 To enhance the image of the bank and to assume social responsibility, the bank
should engage itself to various social programs like scholarship to poor but
