1.1 Background of the Study:

Bank is that financial institution which bridge between surplus group and deficit
group. This is the sector that can help in achieving economic growth of any
nation. Banking is one of the most competitive sectors in Bangladesh. Banking
industry has a huge growth during last decades. It is very difficult to capture a
large market share because of huge competition. Moreover it is totally service
based industry. So no one can deny the importance of customer service to gain
competitive advantage in banking industry and customer satisfaction is an
important dimension for performance measurement. As most of the banks offer
similar products and services, improving customer satisfaction has become the
crucial point to gain and increase market share.
The Prime Bank being the first privet sector bank is always one step ahead of
the other competitors in serving the customer and satisfying them. Its goal is to
meet customers expectation through offering better services.

1.2 Origin of the report:

This report is prepared as a compulsory part of BBA program of School of
Business, Sylhet International University, Sylhet. The main objective was to
translate theoretical knowledge into on the job situation. After completion of
academic courses of BBA program I was placed at Prime bank ltd., Subid Bazar
Branch, Svlhet as an intern.
This report covers the topic General Banking of Prime Bank Ltd., Snbid
Bazar Branch, Sylhet. During this internship period I learned how the host
organization works with the help of the internal supervisor. On the basis of
working experience for this period I have prepared this report and I have tried
my best to relate the theoretical knowledge with the practical work situation.

1.3 Scope of the Study:

The study is about Prime Bank Limited, it is a famous commercial bank and it
has 111 branches all over the Bangladesh. So the overall scope of the report
should be around all the branches of the bank. But my scope was limited
because I am appointed by the authority in Subid Bazar Branch of that
particular bank. So I had the opportunity to work at that branch only.

1.4 Objectives of the study:

Primary Objective
To fulfill the requirement of BBA program containing three months
internship and gain practical experience.

Secondary Objectives
1) To know about Prime Bank Limited and to observe and understand
the activities of customer service department.
2) To assess the quality and quantity of various service at Prime Bank
Limited.
3) To identify the customer perception towards the customer services of
Prime Bank Limited.
4) To identify problems in providing customer service.
5) To acquire the practical knowledge of the banking activities.
6) To know the mission, vision, objectives and strategies of the
organization.
7) To know the organizational major functions descriptions of its
business and detailed descriptions of various functional departments.
8) To explore the effectiveness of the products and services offered by

1.5 Methodology of the study:

To prepare the report on General Banking of Prime Bank Ltd., I have to
collect both primary and secondary data. The primary sources of my report areface to face conversation with the officers of Bank Asia, customers & expert
opinion. The secondary sources are-file record study, annual report of Prime
Bank Ltd. and other sample banks, journals, websites etc.

1.6 Limitations:
Time Limitation:
The duration of the internship was only three months. This time is not sufficient
to understand a broad sector like banking. So many aspects could not be
attached at this report only because of shortage of time.
Data Confidentiality:
The main barrier of preparing this report is data confidentiality. Data provided
by bank was not enough to cover the main aspects of this report. So I mainly
have to depend on observation of their internal banking process.
Information Validity:
Data was collected through observation and discussion of bank personnel.
Statistical analysis of the data has not been done. Thats why the findings are
not statistically validated.
Survey Limitation:
It was very difficult to questioning customers formally because of some
restrictions from bank. For this I mainly depend on informal conversation and
observation of customers.

2.1 Introduction:
The banking industry is highly competitive, with banks not only competing
among each other; but also with non-banks and other financial institutions.
Most bank product developments are easy to duplicate and when banks provide
nearly identical services, they can only distinguish themselves on the basis of
price and quality. Therefore, customer retention is potentially an effective tool
that banks can use to gain a strategic advantage and survive in todays everincreasing banking competitive environment.
A bank is a financial institution and a financial intermediary that accepts
deposits and channels those deposits into lending activities, either directly or
through capital markets. A bank connects customers that have capital deficits to
customers with capital surpluses.
Banks act as payment agents by conducting checking or current accounts for
customers, paying checks drawn by customers on the bank, and collecting
checks deposited to customers current accounts. Banks also enable customer
payments via other payment methods such as Automated Clearing House
(ACH), Wire transfers or telegraphic transfer, and automated teller machine
(ATM).
Banks borrow money by accepting funds deposited on current accounts, by
accepting term deposits, and by issuing debt securities such as banknotes and
bonds. Banks lend money by making advances to customers on current
accounts, by making installment loans, and by investing in marketable debt
securities and other forms of money lending. Prime Bank Limited has resulted
in great success in all areas of operation with a view to improve the socioeconomic development of the country.

4. SWOT analysis:
SWOT analysis is the detailed study of an organizations exposure and potential
in perspective of its strength, weakness, opportunity and threat. This facilitates
the organization to make their existing line of performance and also foresee the
future to improve their performance in comparison to their competitors. As
though this tool, an organization can also study its current position, it can also
be considered as an important tool for making changes in the strategic
management of the organization.

4.1 Strength:
(a) Good Customer Relationship:
PBL provides quality services to the clients compared to its other contemporary
competitors. The bank has a very good relationship with its customers. The
bank believes in maintaining personal relationship with the customer.
(b) Experienced Senior Management:
The senior management of PBL is responsible for promoting the highest level
of business ethics and integrity. Their aim is to create and foster a culture
throughout the bank that emphasizes and demonstrate the importance of
maintaining high business ethics and close relationship with customers.
(c) Islamic Banking Activities:
Beside the conventional banking activities Islamic banking activities of Prime
Bank ltd. provides a great edge to the bank then the other bank. So the
consumer of different mentalities can be satisfied getting two ways of banking
service in a single bank.
(f) Cooperative Banking environment:
In the Prime Bank, there always exist cooperative banking environment for the
clients and employees that also influenced its customers and the success of the
bank.

18

(g) Social responsibility through CSR activities:

Prime Bank Limited supports the concept of triple bottom line approaching in
Social responsibility through CSR: Good economic performance, Good Social
practice, Good environmental practice to that end.

4.2 Weakness:
(a) Offers only few services among the wide service range:
Though Prime Bank Ltd. has a wide range of services but they offer only a few
of them in Sylhet. In Sylhet, they offer some specific types of services.
(b) Lack in concentrating on marketing activities:
Prime bank does not promote their customer services on a regular basis. They
seem to be not concern about promoting themselves and their services at all.
Where other competitors use billboard to promote their single services, PBL
only use some 5 or 6 feet banners to promote the inauguration of new branch.
(c) Technological Backup is not satisfactory:
One of the major weaknesses of Prime bank Ltd. is the lack of proper
technological backup. Technological backup is not up to date for PBL which
often slower the pace of work. Recently, PBL entered into agreement with
Dutch-Bangla Bank Limited (DBBL) to facilitate the clients of PBI by
providing ATM facilities through ATM (Automated Teller Machine) Booth of
DBBL. This also is the lacking in technological facilities of PBL.
(d) Unavailability of ATM Booth:
There is shortage of ATM booth of Prime Bank in the Sylhet zone. The Prime
Bank provides only 4 ATM booths in Sylhet City, where sufficient balance of
money also become shortage. Beside ATM service charges of Prime Bank is so
high that is why customers are being dissatisfied with it.

19

4.3 Opportunities:
(a) Branch Expansion:
Prime bank is growing quickly all over the country. Besides expanding in the
urban areas, PBL has prospects to open more branches in sub-urban areas,
which will eventually enhance the governments efforts at reviving the rural
economy as well as reaching more people by better service.
(b) Training Facility:
Prime Bank Training Institute (PBTI) is supporting the bank by offering in
house training courses, workshops and seminars. As the bank has its own
training institute to enhance the capability of human resources, PBL can use this
opportunity to train their employees in specific areas and create specialized and
expert people for the bank.
(c) Banking Software:
Providing quality service is one of the major goal of Prime Bank ltd.
TEMENOUS T24 is functionally a rich thin client scalable modular system
which increase operational efficiency and is enabling the bank to gain
competitive edge and opportunity. The Prime Bank, Subidbazar branch is
enjoying the installment of this software from the very beginning.
(d) Banks Goodwill:
Prime Bank Ltd. has its own corporate goodwill that factors influenced the
success of this branch.

4.4 Threat:
(a) Level of competition:
Competition is always a major threat for any organization. In recent years, the
number of private bank is increasing. These banks always pose a threat for
others by coming up with new product line, innovative technology, quality
services, etc. thus the level of competition rises and create threat for Prime
Bank.

20

(b) Online facilities provided by the competitive bank:

As the technology is getting advanced, most of the banks, especially private
banks are installing more sophisticated Online Banking Systems to survive in
the industry. With time, the advancement of technology is posing a threat for the
bank.
(c) Lack of motivation:
The low compensation package of the employees from mid level to lower level
position threats the employee motivation. As a result, well qualified employees
leave the organization and its effects the organization as a whole.
(d) Threat of new entrance:
Recently government has approved few new banks to start their business
activities. As the customers demand for new attractive products and services
with new features are growing rapidly and new banks can expect to earn
attractive profits, as such the new entrance are classified to be a threat for Prime
Bank Limited.

21

5.1 Recommendations:
On the basis of my studies and observation, from my point of view, the
following recommendations can be judged and applied to promote the product
& service of Prime Bank Ltd.
1. Provide Prompt Customer Service:
Branch has to deal with lots of customers of the bank that is what it needs to
focus more on efficient service and more staffs are required for the Customer
Service Desk.
2. Introduce New Service:
According to their huge number of customer, product variety, number of
products and its availability should be increased and offered to the customers.
3. Promotional Activities:
The Prime Bank should amplify their effective promotional activity. As such it
should pursue more advertisement campaign in order to build a strong image
among people. To attract new customers they could use print and electronic
media.
4. Provide Banking Material faster:
The time duration from application to delivery of ATM/Master card of the
Prime Bank to its customer should be shorten.
5. Promote additional ATM Booth:
The Number of ATM booth has to be increased for the Sylhet zone.
6. Fully online banking facilities:
Prime Bank Limited is an online bank, but still they could not provide all the
facilities of online banking. Customers have to collect their cheque books, ATM
cards, etc, from the branch where they open account. These cause problems in
many times, and inconvenient for customers. So they must take steps to be a
fully online bank that means to provide all kinds of online facilities to
customers.

22

7. Foreign Remittance Service:

The foreign remittance exchange service should be provided in every branch of
Prime bank.
8. SMS Banking & Phone Banking:
The SMS banking and Phone banking service should be provided to customer
of Prime bank swiftly.
9. Internet Banking facilities:
The internet banking facilities for the customers of Prime Bank should be
uncomplicated as providing worldwide internet banking facility so that the
customer can exercise it even from outside the country.
10. Internal Network System:
The internal network service of Prime Bank should be more strong and
effective so that it does not get down during the working hour and the day to
day services can be served to the customers effectively.
11. Willingness to serve:
The Management of bank should improve the willingness among their staff to
serve their customer for better customer satisfaction.
12. Islamic banking activities:
In Sylhet, the Prime Bank Limited provides the Islamic banking service only
through Amborkhana branch. But in my point view, it should promote the
Islamic banking service through every branch in Sylhet as there are lots of
customer demands.
14. Motivation:
Lack of motivation is a strong threat for the Prime Bank Limited. As such the
HRM department of the Prime Bank should take effective measures to promote
and motivate their employees.

23

5.2 Conclusion:
The customers today are more conscious and apply their precious judgment in
selecting their service providers. Thus The Prime Bank finds a fundamental
change in the way the customers think and act in choosing their products and
services. The customer wants to know the value, ethical standard, tangibles etc
demonstrated by the banks. They are also careful and sensitive about the way
the banks treat the employees as well as the community in which the bank
operates their businesses. As such, it is imperative on the part of the bank to
strike the balance between profitability and service sensitiveness. To the end,
Prime Bank Limited is integrating their responsibility into service and its
operation.
During the three months internship program in Prime Bank Ltd. Subidbazar
branch, almost all the desks have been observed. As such, it has been observed
that the branch provides all the conventional banking services as well as some
specialized Financing activities to the economy. Customers Services of any
bank is a crucial department in reality. A banks performance is largely depends
on this department. The Prime Bank Ltd. Subidbazar branch provides all the
services related to the variety of products of the bank to its customers. Thus the
Prime Bank Ltd. Subidbazar branch is playing an important role in the banking
systems and service in Sylhet.
