Introduction
1.1 Introduction

This report has a certain purpose to focus on the operations of “Remittance” of Janata
Bank Limited. Without any doubt Remittance catches the flash as it has great
importance in the balance of trade in economy. Banks plays a vital role in this
discipline.

In the age of globalization, the importance of banking sector is beyond description.


Banking sector is going ahead with the improvement and invention of new services and
offerings to gather and retain more customers. Besides other banking activities
“Remittance” has become an essential part of a Banks daily activity to perform. In our
daily life we usually use the tools like DD, TT, MT etc. in order to sent money from one
place to another. Again, we know that foreign remittance has a great impact on our
national economy. Internship in Janata Bank Ltd (Rajanigandha Super Market
Branch Dhaka) has brought me the opportunity to know details about various tools of
remittance. At the vary beginning of the internee period, I was too much interested
about Loan sanctioning and recovery system of a bank like Janata Bank Ltd but in a few
days I recognized that my branch deals with “remittance” more then any other banking
activities including loans. Working with remittance system in daily Banking day turns
my attention from loans to remittance which creates the background of the study.

Remittance Activities; A Study on Janata Bank
Ltd
1.2 Origin of the Report
Although total B.B.A. program combines an excellent blend of theoretical and
classroom knowledge but aside this internship program facilitates a student to bring
light on their theoretical knowledge to apply this in practical ground.

This report is based on an internship program at Janata Bank Limited to gather practical
knowledge about banking activities. This is followed by practical experiences in the
Rajanigandha Super Market Branch Dhakaof Janata Bank Limited. Each intern must
carry out a specific project, in order to report on specific activity of the organization.
Consequently a report based on the projects is to be submitted to both the authority of
Janata Bank Ltd and the University. My topic for this internship report is “Remittance
Activities:Study on Janata Bank Ltd”. Janata Bank Ltd deals with almost every
activities of Banking but Rajanigandha Super Market Branch Dhaka has a special
involvement with remittance. So it is the main reason behind choosing this topic.

Each of the above areas would be critically analyzed to determine the proper efficiency
of
Janata Bank‟s Remittance Management system.

1.5 Limitations of the Study:

There were some problems while conducting the study. A whole hearted effort was
applied to conduct the study and to bring a reliable and fruitful result. In spite of this,
there exist some limitations, which acted as a barrier to conduct the study. The
limitations were:

Time limitation: It was one of the main constraints that affected covering all aspects
of the study.Very short time frame- the report had to be conducted in a short duration
(3 months).

Lack of Secondary Information: The Remittance data of Janata Bank Ltd. is not
much available over the net. Secondary source of information was not sufficient for the
completion of the report.

Limitation of the Scope: Much confidential information was not disclosed by


respective personnel of the department

 In many case the relevant authorities are not helpful to provide information.
 The organization maintains strict confidentiality about their financial and
other information. They are afraid of any type of information leakage to
their competitors. So there was always difficulty to have appropriate
information from them.
 The main difficulty of the study was insufficiency of current information
relevant to the study.
 Consolidated data related to the study were not given due to time shortage.
 All required information was not available in any specific branch of the
bank and there was also limited opportunity to visit more than one
branch.
 Duration of the study was too short to find out the exact calculation from
the employee.
 Scope of my study is so wide that analytical and comprehensive study is
not possible.
 Lack of sufficient books, papers and journals etc.
 Web site of the Organization isn‟t up to date to gather valuable information.

1.6 Analysis techniques


Both qualitative and quantitative methods were applied for preparing this report. The

data were analyzed and presented by Microsoft excel and shows percentage,
graphical presentation and different types of charts. Best effort was given to analyze
the numerical findings.

1.7 Required data

I have mainly focused on numerical data in preparing the report. Also I have used
theoretical portion as the demand of the report. Analyzing Remittance management of
a bank, both theoretical and technical knowledge are necessary for execution. Then
everything with accuracy, I have analyzed and made conclusion.

1.8 Methodology of the Study

While conducting the study, sources were explored for primary information and data.
But hardly any updated data could be found. In the absence of updated information or
data dependence on secondary data has been inevitable. However, whenever possible
primary data has been used. Data were also collected by interviewing the responsible
officers and from some documents & statements printed by the Janata Bank Ltd. Janata
Bank Ltd. also helped me in collecting data providing books and Bank‟s annual
report.

2.1 History of Banking
The first banks were the merchants of the ancient world that made loans to farmers
and traders that carried goods between cities. The first record of such activity dates
back to around 2000 BC in Assyria and Babylonia. Later, in ancient Greece and during
the Roman Empire, lenders who were based in temples made loans but also added
two important innovations: accepting deposits and changing money. During this
period, there is similar evidence of the independent development of lending of
money in ancient China and separately in ancient India.

The origin of banking, in the modem sense, is traced to Italy. The word “Bank” also
seems to have originated from Italy. The word Bank is supposed to have been
derived from the German word “Banck”, meaning a mound or heap (like a small
hill), from which Italians adopted „Banco‟. Others believe that the word bank has been
derived from „Bancus‟ or „banc‟ or „Banque‟ which means a bench at which the money
changers or mediaeval bankers used to charge one kind of money into another and transact
their banking business. The early banking was, however, closely associates with the
business of money-changing.

Bangladesh inherited its banking structure from the British regime and had 49 banks
and other financial institutions before the Partition of India in 1947. Bengal Bank,
the first British-Patronized modern bank established in India in 1784, had opened its
two branches in 1873 in Sirajganj and Chittagong of Bangladesh region. Thereafter,
another branch of Bengal Bank was opened in Chandpur in 1900. A number of other
branches of Bengal Bank were opened in this region and some branches had been
closed in Course of time. There were six other branches of Bengal Bank in operation in
the territory of Bangladesh until the Partition of British-India in 1947 and these
branches were at Chittagong (1906), Mymensing (1922), Rangpur (1923), Chandpur
(1924), and Narayanganj (1926).

Following the emergence of Pakistan in 1947, Stat Bank of Pakistan, the Central Bank
of the country, came into being in July 1948. Later, the National bank of Pakistan, a
strong commercial bank was set up in 1949. In all, 36 scheduled commercial
banks were in operation in the whole Pakistan until 1971. Pakistanis owned most of
these banks and only three of them namely, National Bank of Pakistan, Habib Bank Ltd.
and the Australasia Bank Ltd, had one branch of each in East Pakistan in 1949.During
1950-58, there other Pakistani- owned banks, Premier Bank Ltd., Bank of Bhowalpur
Ltd. and Muslim Commercial Bank, had Opened their branch in East Pakistan. Four
Pakistan-owned banks, the United Bank Ltd., Union Bank Ltd.(Note: the United
Bank Limited and Union Bank Limited were renamed
as Janata Bank. ), Standard Bank Ltd. and the commerce Bank Ltd. Conducted banking
business in the Province during 1959-1965.But all of them Had their headquarters in
west Pakistan. East Pakistan had only two banks Owned by local business groups white
headquarters in Dhaka. These were the Eastern Mercantile Bank Ltd. (Presently
Pubali Bank Ltd.) and Eastern Banking Corporation Ltd. (Presently Uttara Bank Ltd.)
established in 1959 and 1965 respectively.
In the beginning of 1971, there were 1130 branches of 12 banks in operation in East
Pakistan. The foundation of independent banking system in Bangladesh was laid

& Technology 3
through the establishment of the Bangladesh Bank in 1972 by the Presidential Order
No. 127of 1972 (which took effect on 16th December, 1971). Through the Order, the
eastern branch of the

Remittance Activities; A Study on Janata Bank
former State Bank of Pakistan at DhakaLtd was renamed as the Bangladesh Bank as a
full- fledged office of the central bank of Bangladesh and the entire undertaking of the
State Bank of Pakistan in, and in relation to Bangladesh has been delivered to the
Bank.

Bangladesh Bank has been entrusted whit all of the traditional central banking
functions including the sole responsibilities of issuing currency, Keeping the reserves,
formulating and managing the monetary and credit policy, regulating the banking system,
stabilizing domestic and external monetary value, preserving the par value of
Bangladesh Taka, fostering economic growth and development and the
development of the country‟s market.

Janata Bank Limited is the 2nd largest state owned commercial bank in
Bangladesh. Immediately after the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971, the erstwhile
United Bank Limited and Union Bank Limited were renamed as Janata Bank.

The rate of growth and development of banking sector in the country was extremely
slow until 1983 when the government allowed to establish private banks and
started denationalization process: initially, the Uttara Bank in the same year and
thereafter, the Pubali Bank, and the Rupali Bank in 1986.

Modern banking system plays a vital role for a nation‟s economic development. Over
the last few years the banking world has been undergoing a lot of changes due to
deregulation, technological innovations, globalization etc. These changes in the
banking system also brought revolutionary changes in a country‟s economy. Present world
is changing rapidly to face the challenge of competitive free market economy. It is well
recognized that there is an urgent need for better, qualified management and better-
trained staff in the dynamic global financial market. Bangladesh is no exceptions of this
trend. Banking Sector in Bangladesh is facing challenges from different angles
though its prospect is bright in the future.

2.2 History of Private Banks in Bangladesh


There were no domestic private commercial banks in Bangladesh until 1982; When the
Arab- Bangladesh Bank Ltd. commenced private commercial banking in the country.
Five more commercial banks came up in 1983 and initiated a moderate growth in
banking financial institutions. Despite slow growth in number of individual banks, there
had been a relatively higher growth of branches of nationalized commercial banks
(NCBs) during 1973-83. There number had increased from 1512 in 1973-74 to4603
in 1982-83.

Financial sector reforms to strengthen the regulatory and supervisory framework for
banks made headway in 2006 although at a slower than expected pace. Overall
health of the banking system showed improvement since 2002 as the gross Non-
performing Loans (NPL) declined from 28 percent to 14 percent while net NPL (less

Remittance Activities; A Study on Janata Bank
Provision) reduced to 8 percent from 21Ltd percent. This led significant improvement in
the profitability ratios. Although the Private Commercial Banks (PCB) NPL ratio
registered a record low of 6 percent, the four Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCB)
position are still weak and showed very high NPL at

Ahsanullah University of Science 1


& Technology 5
25 percent. The NCBs have large capital shortfalls with a risk-weighted capital asset
ratio of just 0.5 percent (June 2006) as against the required 9 percent. For the PCBs
risk-weighted capital asset ratio stood at 10 percent. Bangladesh Bank issued a good
number of prudential guidelines during the year 2006 and the first quarter of 2007
which among others relate to:

•Rationalization of prudential norms for loan classification and provisioning,


•Policy for rescheduling of loans,
•Designing and enforcing an "integrated credit risk grading manual",
•Credit rating of the banks, and
•Revisions to the make-up of Tier-2 capital.

2.3 Current Structure of Banks in Bangladesh


The commercial banking system dominates Bangladesh's financial sector. Bangladesh Bank
is the Central Bank of Bangladesh and the chief regulatory authority in the sector.
The banking system is composed of four state-owned commercial banks, five
specialized development banks, thirty private commercial Banks and nine foreign
commercial banks. The Nobel-prize winning Grameen Bank is a specialized micro-
finance institution, which revolutionized the concept of micro-credit and contributed
greatly towards poverty reduction and the empowerment of women in Bangladesh.

2.3.1 Central Bank

2.4 Bangladesh Economy 2010-11


Bangladesh is an advantageous position in relation to world average growth and the
growth of emerging and developing economies. Bangladesh maintained a steady
growth in 2010 despite global financial turmoil, but given the increasing demand, the
growing power and energy shortages and poor infrastructure remained major
impediments to the country‟s industrial growth. Economic growth in Bangladesh has so
far been only insensibly affected by the ongoing global slowdown, attaining 6.7 percent
teal GDP growth in FY 11 following
6.0 percent growth of FY 10. (Appendix- )
Foreign exchange reserve in more than USD 10.14 billion even after ACU
adjustment Agriculture sector achieved a strong growth of 4.7 percent in FY 10 Growth
rate of industry sector slowed down from 6.5 percent in FY 09 to 6.0 percent in FY
10, Service sector consistently experienced a moderately high performance, contributing
to its increasing share in GDP. During the year 2009-10 contribution of service sector in
GDP is 49.9 percent. Gross investment as percentage of GDP increase, recording 25.0%
of GDP in FY 10 compared to 24.37% of GDP in FY 09.
Total foreign remittance during FY 10 stood at USD 10.99 billion, registering a
growth of 13.4% over FY 09. Remittance from Saudi Arabia constituted the major share
(30.87%) of the total inward remittance.

Janata Bank has contributed much to attain the achievement in all above sectors and boost
the economy of the country during the year under report.

4.1 Introduction of the Issue

Now a day a modern banker must have to perform a number of ancillary services,
besides performing the two essential functions of accepting deposits and investing
its funds. Remittance of funds can be considered as one of the most important
ancillary service provided by a Bank. With a network of the branches spread over the
entire country banks are eminently suitable institutions for the remittance of funds
from one place to another. Bank remittance is safe, swift, inexpensive, and simple.
Bank takes the risk of theft or loss of customer‟s money in exchange of a very little
commission. Again, the reserve of foreign remittance plays a great role in national
economy. With various types of accounts maintaining in international branches and
coordinating international banks these foreign currencies are being carried sending
by non-resident Bangladeshis.

4.2 Justification of the Report


Due to market economy a huge competition exists among the nationalized, foreign and
private commercial banks and therefore the expectation of the customers growing
rapidly concerning the banking operation & how customer service can be more
attractive. Bank Remittance- the way of sending customers money from one place to
another, has becomes the most important part of customer service in recent years. On
the other hand, these ancillary services are generating a great income to the Banks.
Under the above circumstances, it has become necessary for Janata Bank Ltd. to focus
its' attention towards the improvement of various customer services and increase the
efficiency to attract and also retain the customers. That is why it is quite justified to make
an in-depth study about its operation and evaluate service provided by this bank and
scope for its improvement. Since marketing is the area of my study, Bank Remittance
seems preferred to me rather then any other banking activities to study. Thus I think, this
study will vehemently help me to go forward and improve my career path.

4.3 Bank Remittance


One of the most important aspects of the Commercial Banks is rending services to
its customers. Among different services render by a Commercial Banks to its
customer remittance facilities are very well known and popular to the customers.
The word "Remittance" means sending of money from one place to another branch
within the country. There are two types of Remittance: Inward & Outward. The
Commercial Banks Remittance facilities enable its customers to avoid risk arising out of
theft or loss in carrying cash money from one place to another or making payment to
some one in another place. Banks take the risk and ensure payment to the
beneficiary in exchange of a little bit benefit known as Exchange or Commission.

4.6 Demand Draft (D.D.)
Demand Draft is an instruction payable on demand. It is negotiable instrument issued
by the branch Bank containing an order to another branch of the same Bank to pay a
certain sum of money to a certain person or order on demand. This instrument can
be purchased by a customer from a particular Bank branch for himself or for
beneficiary and can handed over to the purchaser for delivery to the beneficiary. The
payee or beneficiary will claim the proceeds of the instrument by producing the same
to the concerned paying branch. Demand Draft may be paid in cash to the payee on
proper identification or the proceeds may be credited to his account. Banks issue drafts
for a nominal commission. The commission depends upon the amount to be
transmitted. The purchaser of the draft needs not to be a customer or account holder
of the Bank. Draft can be crossed also.

4.6.3 Why D.D. Advice is used in Drawee/ Paying Branch.


When Drawee Branch gets a D.D. advice then this branch will take it as a voucher and
the paying banker will verify the genuineness of that advice by way of verifying the
number and signature. They will also record this information in their D.D. payable
register. Then they passed following voucher-

Dr. : CIBT A/C (Drawee branch zone) Cr. : Bills Payable A/C : D.D. Payable

4.6.4 Procedure of Payment


Proceeds of Demand Draft is received by the paying bank as and when it responds
the relative advise on the receipt of DD Advises from different branches, the paying
banker will verity the genuineness of the Advice by way of verifying the number and
signature. Beside this, Drafts payable can be made without the Advice of issuing Bank
and on that time the payment is called Acceptance Payment. Before making payment
of the DD, the branch will ascertain the genuine of its issuance as well as the genuine of
the payee. Open Drafts may be paid on proper identification of the payee and crossed
Drafts can never be paid in cash over the counter.

4.13 Foreign Remittances Activates in JBL

On the era of globalization and free economy, business has changed its shape and has
spread all over world. Now a day, banking business has not been limited only within the
commercial banking; it spread with different types of money and finance related
business. Investment banking, merchant banking as a brokerage house, syndicated
business, correspondent banking, foreign trade, currency dealing etc. There is no
national or geographic limitation for the business. As the Bangladeshi citizens/
nationals are migrating all over the world, created scope/ opportunity for money transfer
business as a global phenomenon. In the post 9/11 era, national and international
regulators are more vigilant against Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Anti Terrorist
Financing, resulting appreciation for fund transfer through Bank and registered
Financial Institutions.

Previously, the educated and well-off class of the remitters (Expatriate Bangladeshis) used to
send money through banking as well as illegal channels, but the uneducated and so
called under-privileged class of the remitters generally does not have access to banking
channel and used to send money through illegal channel. Due to high service charges, the
underprivileged do not maintain account with schedule banks and cannot use the money
transfer facility of the banks. This unique characteristic of the remitters creates the
scope of operation for Financial Intermediates basically Exchange House Operations.

Importance: Demand for inward remittance has immense importance, because remittance,
the portion of international migrant workers earnings sent back from the country of
employment to the country of origin, plays a central/crucial role in the economy of
our country. At the same time with micro economic development process, as
remittance often provide a significant source of foreign currency, increase national
income, finance import and contribute to the balance of payment improvement.
These wage earners' remittance helps building external sector viabilities of our country.
Inward remittance is relatively less volatile source of foreign exchange. Expatriate
Bangladeshi workers remittance contributes immensely to the economy with strong
positive impact on growth, employment and Balance of payment.

Currently, inward remittance is higher than the combined flow of foreign aid
disbursement and foreign direct investment. Though increasing, the current growth rate of
remittance is still much lower than the total flow of migrants from Bangladesh.

Remittance Systems of Janata Bank Limited: To speed up distribution of remittance


send by various foreign banks and exchange companies Speedy Foreign Remittance
Payment System has been introduced in phases since May 2009. Currently, 860
branches of our bank are on- lined with Speedy Foreign Remittance Payment System,
through which remittances from Foreign Banks/Exchange Companies are being

Ltd. does not provide any massage to the branches. The responding company provides a
software and pass-ward which is operated by the officers of the branches via
internet. In every transection Janata Bank Ltd. find some commission from the
above company.

Western Union is one of the most popular money transfer network in the world. About
40% transection of foreign remittance is done by Western Union.
So for better understand of this process here I explain about Western Union-

4.18 Outward Foreign Remittance
When remittance is sending from Bangladesh to abroad like London then it is called
Outward Foreign Remittance. But Outward Foreign Remittance is highly restricted by
the Bangladesh Government. Only some especial branch of all Banks can send money
from Bangladesh to abroad under Bangladesh Bank‟s rules& regulation.

In Janata Bank Ltd. following branches are only responsible and involved with
outward foreign remittance activities.
a) Local Office Dhaka.
b) Foreign Exchange Branch, Bitul-Mukaram Dhaka.
c) JanataBovon Corporate Dhaka.

The Foreign Remittance department of Janata Bank Ltd. is equipped with a


number of foreign remittance facilities. Following are the types of outward foreign
remittance facilities offered by Janata Bank Ltd. -
1.Issuance of Foreign Demand Draft (F.D.D)
2.Issuance of travelers Cheques (T.C.)
3.Issuance of foreign T.T (Telegraphic Transfer)
4.Disbursement of the cash of incoming F.T.T.

But Janata Bank Ltd. Rajanigandha Super Market Branch is not involved with these

5.1 SWOT Analysis of JBL
At the corporate level, the strategic Management process of an organization involves
the environmental. This environmental scanning is done both on the internal
environment: Strength and weaknesses and external environment: opportunities and
threats of the organization.
In internal environment strengths are those factor that influence the organization to do
better are weaknesses are those factors that lack the organization form its optimum
performance. On the other hand external environment at analysis shows the
opportunities or scope of development and external coming there at for the
business.
After doing my report on the service of the JBL. I have found both better
performance in some sectors of the bank and also weak services as well that occur
lacking to do better. There are also some eternal factors which height has business.
A particular SWOT analysis discloses the following issues for an organization that
an organization achieved over the time of its operation by analyzing its both
internal and external environment: The SWOT analysis of Janata Bank Ltd. is
shown below:
 “S”- Strengths

Strengths:
Janata Bank is a modern public Bank. It has more capacity to adopt new technology
when the environment will be changed. This JBL Rajanigondha Super Market Branch,
Dhaka as well as Janata Bank Ltd. has various types of strength elements. Such
kind of strength are representing below:

 The manager also helps their employees to solve their problems and accomplish
their work.
 They treat their employees as a essential part of the organization and the
psychological result is a feeling of participation and the task involvement in
the organization

Weakness:
A weakness is a limitation or deficiency in resources, Skills and capabilities that
seriously impedes effective performance.
When I study in JBL Rajanigondha Super Market Branch, Dhaka some pro blem surface
to me those internal problems mention in the below:
 Discouraging small entrepreneurs
JBL provides clean Import Loan to most of its solvent clients. But they usually do
not want to finance small entrepreneurs whose financial standing is not clean to
them.
 Absence of strong marketing activities
JBL currently don't have any strong marketing activities through mass media
e.g. Television. TV ads play vital role in awareness building. JBL has no such
TV ad campaign. Although they do a lot of CSR activities compared to other
banks.
 Not enough innovative products
In order to be more competitive in the market, JBL should come up with more
new attractive and innovative products. This is one of the weaknesses that JBL
is currently passing through but plans to get rid of by 2010.
 Lack of Proper Motivation
The salary at JBL is very decent, but it lacks other sorts of motivation. Incentives
such as bonuses are given for acquiring a particular figure, but all in all these
are the only motivational factors.
 Outdated Software and Hardware at JBL Rajanigondha Super Market Branch.
Some of the PCs in this branch have very outdated hardware which is very slow
and affects the customers and hence the performance of the bank as a whole. The
software themselves are pretty old – Flexcube is from 2003, Microsoft Office
XP is used. All of these prevent smooth operations.

& Technology 8
Opportunity:
In my study on JBL Rajanigondha Super Market Branch, Dhaka some opportunity
surface to me. Those opportunities of Janata Bank are given below:
 Distinct operating procedures
Repayment capacity as assessed by JBL of individual client helps to decide how much
one can borrow. As the whole lending process is based on a client's repayment
capacity, the recovery rate of JBL is close to 100%. This provides JBL financial
stability & gears up JBL to be remaining in the business for the long run.
 Country wide network
The ultimate goal of JBL is to expand its operations to whole Bangladesh. Nurturing this
type of vision & mission & to act as required, will not only increase JBL's
profitability but also will secure its existence in the log run.
 Experienced Managers
One of the key opportunities for JBL is its efficient managers. JBL has employed
experienced managers to facilitate its operation. These managers have already triggered
the business for JBL as being new in the market.
 Huge Population
Bangladesh is a developing country to satisfy the needs of the huge population, a large
amount of investment is required. On the other hand, building EPZ areas and some
Govt. policies easing foreign investment in our country made it attractive to the foreigners
to invest in our country. So, JBL has a large opportunity here.
 BASEL II
Implementation of BASEL II would definitely provide benefits. But it requires a lot
of monitoring. For this JBL has formed BIU (BASELL II Implementation Unit). BASEL
II is basically a framework set forth by Bangladesh Bank to reduce credit risk,
operational risk and market risk. This would definitely aid JBL if it is stringently
followed

Threats:
 Rapid advance in computers and management information system.
 Lack of E-Banking facilities.
 Top management of giant.
 Complex organizations cannot be authoritarian in the traditional sense and
be effective.

From the above discuss we can say that Janata Bank Limited is one of the largest
privatized Bank of the country. Overall Performance of Janata Bank Limited is
satisfactory. But to face challenges of Globalization, Janata Bank Ltd. should to
restructure its operation to improve as a first generation bank.

5.2 Findings
During my practical study at JBL, Rajanigondha Super Market Branch, Dhaka I
have got some problems that hamper in making element to the banks operations and
the way of profit making of the branch as well.

I however took the help of following techniques to do this…


 Personal observation and
 Interview
Thus the following problems are identified-

1) Process of money transfer:


Sending money through Janata Bank Ltd. is a complex process.
2) Lack of E-Banking facilities:
Most of the Branches of Janata Bank Ltd. has very outdated internet modem
which is very slow. The maximum speed of these modems is 3Kb/s and
sometime connection or network is disconnected. All of these prevent smooth
operations of E-Banking as well as remittance activities.
3) Absence of modern technologies:
Less involvement of technology and lot of entries of a single transaction in
various register books make tasks time-consuming. Some of the PCs in this
branch have very outdated hardware which is very slow and affects the
customers and hence the performance of the bank as a whole. The software
themselves are pretty old – Flex cube is from 2003, Microsoft Office XP is
used. All of these prevent smooth operations.
4) Lack of knowledge of employees and staffs about modern technology:
Most of the employees in Janata Bank Ltd. Rajanigondha Super Market
Branch, Dhaka has not enough knowledge about modern technology such as-
process of check and print SRC report from head office, Western Union Network
activities etc.
5) Lack of integrity and shortage:
Lack of integrity and shortage of employees are the main concerns in achieving
the target profit from Remittance.
6) Lack of Concentrating on the channeling of remittances:
However, Janata Bank Ltd. plays a great role in sending money to various rural
areas through its countrywide network but concentration on the channeling of
remittances activities is not enough.
7) Position in International Banking: A strong position in international Banking and
a great link with various foreign exchange companies makes the process of
collecting the foreign remittance easier to this bank.
8) Contribution of JBL in Foreign Remittance earning:
The achievement of JBL in attracting foreign remittance is increased year by
year except 2009 and 2010 due to economic crises. But on the contrary, the

Ahsanullah University of Science 8

percentage of

& Technology 1

Remittance Activities; A Study on Janata Bank
foreign remittance through JBL is decreased
Ltd year by year as compared to country‟s
foreign remittance.
9) Absence of strong marketing activities
JBL currently don't have any strong marketing activities about remittance
facilities through mass media e.g. Television. TV ads play vital role in
awareness building. JBL has no such TV ad campaign. Although they do a lot of
CSR activities compared to other banks.
10) Absence of strong Customer relationship :
Proper customer relationship activities are not enough in Janata Bank Ltd.
as compared to other privet commercial banks.
11) Not enough innovative products :
In order to be more competitive in the market, JBL should come up with more
new attractive and innovative products about remittance.

5.3 Recommendations

To make solve the abovementioned problems the following recommendations can


be made so that the problems can be solved………

1. Process of money transfer:


Remittance collection from the Bank should be a much easier and hassle free
job for the beneficiaries. Process flow should be smoother so that the waiting
time for them is decreased.
2. E-Banking facilities:
Janata Bank Ltd. should be used high speed internet modem for smooth
operations of E-Banking as well as remittance activities.
3. Adaptation of new technologies:
4. All of the PCs in this branch should be changed with update hardware and
software which is very fast.
5. Training to the employees:
6. A very strong and systematic training program creates the bankers efficient; the
disciplined environment makes them active.
7. Removing integrity and shortage:
The Gap between Head office and branches will have to be removed in
order to improve the situation. Reinforcement should be involved with the given
target.

& Technology 1
8. Concentrating on the channeling of remittances
Janata Bank Ltd. is now concentrating on the channeling of remittances. This
should be continued and enhanced. The vast network of JBL enables them to
reach the remote rural areas. Utilizing the micro finance systems and
keeping poverty alleviation in mind, the process can be taken further.
9. Position in International Banking
The highest volume of remittances is sent from Saudi Arabia. Effort should be
thus given to ensure the utilization of the remittance coming from that region
and hence can be customized according to the regions specialty or
characteristic traits of the remitters.
10. Contribution of JBL in Foreign Remittance earning:
To increase the percentage of foreign remittance earning JBL should be provided
the best E-Banking facility than other bank. For this reason JBL should try to
establish On-line banking system. Because most of the Inward foreign
remittance is enter in Bangladesh via On-line.
11. Strong marketing activities:
Better marketing policy should be applied in order to attain and retain more
customers in this competitive market.
12. Customer relationship:
Janata Bank is still conducting remittance business because of price sensitive market,
but without a proper customer relation it would be difficult to survive in the long
run.
13. Creating innovative products:
Janata Bank Ltd. can create special accounts cate gorizing to the different
classifications of the beneficiaries, requirements according to the family size,
and utilization arena.
14. Others:
Janata Bank Ltd. can also take following steps -
 Reduction of transaction time
 Reduction of transaction costs (by cutting commission fees)
 Making remittances tax-free
 Simplifying formalities
 Regular monitoring to ensure service
 Maintaining where possible the same exchange rate as the informal
market

Conclusion
In modern Banking, Remittance of Funds is one of the most important ancillary services
performed by every type of Banks. A nationalized commercial bank like Janata Bank Ltd
can perform it with better than other banks because of a wider network of branches
and lower service charge. Again, a strong position in international Banking and a great
link with various foreign exchange companies makes the process of collecting the foreign
remittance easier to this bank. Besides these advantages, a lot of lacking like-
shortage of manpower, Gap between officers of Head office & Branches, etc becomes
a matter of concern. Remittance- the subject of my study is a very small part of Janata
Bank Ltd.‟s. Activity, but it generates a portion of profit. So, by removing or at least
reducing the bank should try to achieve the targeted amount fixed by the top
management.
