Mahmudul Haque, lecturer of Northern College Bangladesh also approved the project and authorized me to prepare this report as part of the fulfilment of internship requirements

1.2 Justification of the Study

Theoretical knowledge is not enough for a student. It is miles difference between theoretical knowledge and practical field. So, this two should be synchronized. Internship is launched mainly for this purpose. Another purpose that may be is to know about the rules, regulations and environment of an organization before getting a job. Such experience may facilitate a student to have a better job.

1.3 Objectives of the Study

Before setting up this report certain objectives were in depth in mind and the research work went accordingly. The objectives are enumerated –

To gather comprehensive knowledge on overall banking functions and the expectation of the customers regarding the service quality of PBL.

To find out the lacking in customer service quality of PBL.

To have the idea of customers’ satisfaction level.

To have an exposure on the financial institution, especially on banking environment of Banglade

  1.4 Scope of the Study

While preparing this report, I had a great opportunity to have in depth knowledge about the customer services and banking practices. Additionally, I have achieved some practical experiences with the customers’. I think it will be helpful for me to have an idea about the customers’ attitude towards private commercial banks and overall banking sector as well.

  1.5 Limitations of the Study

It is an uphill task to study the on the management so the report was completed under certain constrains which were:

  1. Difficulty in gaining accesses to financial sector.
  2. Non‐availability of the most recent statistical data.
  3. As I am student it is not possible for me to collect all the necessary information.
  4. I had to complete this report within a very short span of time that was not sufficient for investigation.
  5. Lake of Experience.

CHAPTER 02: METHODOLOGY

2.1 Methodology of the Study

The following methodology will be followed for the study both primary and secondary data sources will be used to generate this report. Primary data sources are scheduled survey, informal discussion with professionals and observation while working in different desks. The secondary data sources are annual reports, manuals, and brochures of Prime Bank Limited and different publications of Bangladesh Bank.

To identify the implementation, supervision, monitoring and repayment practice- interview with the employee and Customer and extensive study of the existing file was and practical case observation was done.

2.2 Population

Population refers to any group of people or objects which are similar in one or more ways and which forms the subject of the study in a particular survey. So our population is all Customers’ of prime bank ltd. That means our population is the all bank account holders of Prime Bank Ltd.

2.3 Sampling

  1. Target population: Total 50 clients in Prime Bank Limited.
  2. Elements: Which clients are involved in this bank and other banks for last five years?
  3. Extent: Dhaka city.

2.5 Questionnaires:

There is different type of questionnaire. But we use only structured questionnaire which content two basic types.

They are : Closed ended questionnaire & Open ended questionnaire

2.6 Sources of Data Collection

In conducting this report basically, there have been two types of data and information used. The name of those two types and their sources to reveal the information for preparing this report has been showed in a flow chart.

2.7 DATA ANALYSIS

The main target of the study is to find out “Customer satisfaction of banking services of prime bank ltd by using procedure, rules and regulation of banking.” In Bangladesh there are 50 or more (public, private and foreign) commercial bank is running their business. But the entire bank is not providing the same services. Mainly public banks are not providing the online banking facility. But Maximum of the private and foreign banks is providing the online banking facility to their customer. Now a day’s people like such kind of banking service which can provide better banking service as well as online service. In that case whose banks are providing maximum branches, facilities and providing easy banking service with better customer service they can get maximum customer. In This present situation Bangladeshi people are using online banking a lot. But maximum times we can see the online banking holders are not satisfied with the bank services. Because banks are charging more amount as service charge. The customer thinks that banks are not able to provide the best services in terms of their policy. Even some customer blame that they are charging higher service charge in terms of interest rate for savings account. So we can say that customer is not fully satisfied. My main target of study that what kind of service customers want from the bank and what kind of new facilities they want from the bank.

2.9 Analysis and Interpretation of Data

Despite the challenges, Prime Bank closed on a high note and made an impressive progress in many lines of business during 2008.Through my survey I tried to find out the strengths and weaknesses of banking service. Now I am going to show the results through Table and some graphs.

2.10 Data Collecting Technique

For the purpose of the study two methods of techniques used:

  • Observation
  • Interview

Observation: Observation method is often used to complete this qualitative research because it is very difficult to provide any specific example from any file about certain document, as the matter is very sensitive for the client as well as for the bank. 

Interview: Primarily some data are collected from face-to-face interview of different employees of Prime Bank Limited at Matijheel Branch. By face to face conversation with the Customer’s and by personal interviewing it is easy to collect the accurate information for the study. For the purpose of this interview, customers were asked to fill up a questionnaire. Based on their answer, it is easy to justify the Customer’s Satisfaction on Prime Bank Limited.

Performance of the bank for the year 2010 was good considering the prevailing market challenges arising from global financial crisis. The performance of the bank against targets is as below:

Taka in million

Bangladesh Bank is expected to continue its persuasion to reduce the spread and charges further which is likely to affect the performance. Changes in provisioning requirement will also affect the performance of the bank.

CHAPTER 04: PROJECT PAR

  Data Analysis and Findings.

During the survey I have found lots of positive things as well as some negative things. Now I am going to discuss one by one-

  1. In Bangladeshi family, most of the time male provide the maximum effort for family. From my survey I have found that maximum percentage (74%) Respondent are male. That means normally male handle the bank account to survive the family needs.
  2. From my survey I found that now a day’s young person are encouraged to open a bank account. I found 62% of customers are in age between 18 to 35 years old. Because they are very much concern about savings.
  3. Prime bank Ltd always gets all level of people to open a bank account.
  4. Prime bank ltd will be really happy to learn that almost 94% of customer certifies that PBL is providing excellent service to their customer. Because almost all respondent are agree or strongly agree that PBL is excellent in service.
  5.  From the survey I found that PBL has all kind of facilities including security, Better services, simplicity and faster, they cover wide area of online banking and also have low maintenance cost.
  6. Customers are almost satisfied with ATM service. Because 60% of people said that they don’t feel any hassle during ATM card using. Though 40% of them are not satisfied.
  7. As 40% people are not satisfied, they said why they don’t agree to satisfy. Because some of them strongly said that technical defects are available in ATM booth.
  8. In case of service charge customers are almost same as service charge ok or not. 48% people are not satisfied with present charge. They ask to minimize service charge more.
  9. Bank can be satisfied that they are providing excellent ATM services. Because during survey I found that customer are frequently using ATM booth. Some of them are using ATM Booth 7 to 9 or more than that in every week.
  10. When I ask about cheque book the frequently answer me that they also use cheque book. Because by ATM card customer cannot withdraw large amount. Another thing that customer are using cheque book because it is transferable.
  11. Prime bank ltd allows their customer only 20000Tk to withdraw money by using ATM card in a day. That’s why some of customers are not satisfied.

So from all findings we can say that without some specific case Prime bank ltd almost covered their customer requirement and expectation. That much they did not, hope fully cover very near future to reach the core of customer heart.

CHAPTER 05: RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION

5.1 Recommendations

I had the practical exposure in Prime Bank Ltd. Motijheel Branch for just three months, with my little experience in the bank in comparison with vast and complex banking system, it is very difficult for me to recommend. I have observed some shortcomings regarding operational and other aspects of their banking. On the basis of my close observation I would like to propose the following recommendations-

  •  Improve office atmosphere to give customer friendly feeling.
  • Provide intimate attention to your customers’ needs.
  • Customers’ convenience will be of Top priority.
  • Fast Service Policy should be introduced. So that everybody get faster service.
  • The bank should try to arrange more training programs for their officials. Quality training will help the official to enrich them with more recent knowledge of banking and improve their skill.
  • Over burden of work and ill defined assignment unable the employee to discharge their duties in cool manner. It is also creates a hazardous situation in the work process. So all the employees should be assigned with proper and specific assignment.
  • Time consumed in servicing customers is minimized.
  • Develop communication skills.
  • Help new entrepreneurs to formulate business plans.
  • PBL provide a lot of ATM booth for their client. But problem is that some time technical problems are occurring. So they should look after it carefully.

PBL should provide a specific information desk in all branches for customers

5.2 Conclusion

The Bank is committed to being a sophisticated prominent and professional institution, providing a one window service to its customers. During the first five years Prime Bank’s strategy was focused on continuing in provident of internal procedures and operating structures, to have a greater control on the quality of our business and to provide better management direction. After five years of working on the Banks structure, its culture and controls, the management is confident that the Bank can move forward on a rapid growth path.  The PBL’s corporate philosophy is to build its non-funded fee and commission income stream, thus reducing its reliance on interest income alone.

We can say that without some specific case Prime bank ltd almost covered their customer requirement and expectation. That much they did not, hope fully cover very near future to reach the core of customer heart. So, yes customers are satisfied with banking service and ATM service of Prime Bank Ltd.
