Internship Learning Points & Findings of the Study:

This chapter deals with two parts, first, I tried to explain my major learning points from various departments of the branch according to my position and duties. Second I described the findings of my study.

Learning from General Banking:

As I prepared my report based on this department functions. So I gave much more concentration in this department. I learned a lot of banking works from this department. Among those I have mentioned some of my learning points that I acquired from this department-

Account opening section

The main function of this section is to open different types of account on the request of client. In this section I learnt how to open different type account like Al wadia current account & different type of scheme. I also learned how to issue cheque book and how to close an account.

Remittance Section

This section is one of the most important sections of General Banking department in Mohammadpur Kaderia Tayebia Madrasha Branch of SIBL. From this section I learnt a details idea about Payment order, Demand Draft and Telegraphic Transfer; I also learnt how to issue those things.

Cash Section

I worked three days in this section, at that time I learnt a lot of things, basically I learnt how to receive cash from the client & Cash payment procedure. When I received cash from the client, I count the cash and compares with the figure written in the deposit slip. I put signature on the slip along with the “Cash Received” seal and records in the cash receives register book against account no. I also worked in payment section, at that time I collect cheque from the client and verify some information like- date of the cheque, signature of account holder.

Clearing Section

Clearing section is very important sections in General Banking, almost every section of different departments are linked in this section. There are many types of works I  did in this section, at first I gave entry the previous days cheque in the outward bill and inward bill cleaning book , then I collect cheque book from the customer.

Learning from Foreign Exchange Department

Foreign Exchange is one of the most important departments, I worked only one week in this department, it is not enough time to learn every things but I tried to learn as much as possible. Basically I learnt a details idea about export & import and the procedure & required paper or document that is necessary to open Letter of credit.

Learning from Investment Department

I worked only one week in this department in Mohammadpur Kaderia Tayebia Madrasha Branch of SIBL. I learnt a lot of investment activities within this short period. Basically I have learnt a details idea about different types of investment modes that the bank used to meet their customer need, major modes of investment are-  Mudaraba, Murabaha, Bai-muazzal, etc.

Findings of the Study

Among the three departments of the bank, I gave more emphasize on General Banking activities, in order to prepare my report. Basically my report’s findings are cover two major areas, first- “Managing the need of General Banking customers”, where I  described how SIBL is fulfill their General Customers’ need by offering different types of accounts and deposit schemes. I also find the trend of different schemes and accounts that I described based on my three months observations.

I observed the client deposit of different types of account and schemes are increased. The deposited amount of Al wadia current account is TK. 127,849,141 in September and Tk. 135,446,726 in October. It indicates that Al wadia current account increased 6% from the previous months. The Mud. Saving deposit is also increase TK. 128,188,730 from the last month (September to October). The deposited amounts of other types of scheme are also increased.

Another major area of my finding is “Performance Analysis of SIBL”.  I have used some methods to analyze the performance of SIBL, one of this is Financial statement analysis (Common size and comparative Financial statement analysis), From the calculation I have observed the amount of total asset, investment, client deposit, owners equity and all other balance sheet items are increase from the previous year (2006 to 2007). The income statement items like income from investment, net profit after tax and all other major items are increased as both amount and percentage from the previous year.

Another major common tool to analyze the performance of the bank is Ratio analysis. From my calculation of different types of ratio I observed that the overall position of Liquidity and Efficiency ratio are not good but the percentage of profitability and capital adequacy  ratio are increase from the previous year.

So the above explanations indicate that the overall performance and financial position of the bank is satisfactory.

Conclusion:

Social Islami Bank Limitedis one of the leading Islamic shariah based commercial bank in Bangladesh. It was incorporated on 5th July, 1995 as a result of dedicated effort of a group of established Bangladeshi entrepreneurs and internationally important personalities. Internship functions have been performed in three departments (General banking, Foreign Exchange and Investment department). The main finding of the report is how SIBL meet their General banking customer need. To meet customer need the bank offer different types of account, such- Al wadia current account, saving, and different types of deposit scheme like- Lakhopoti deposit scheme, pension saving scheme etc. Some others important section in General Banking are- Remittance, cash and clearing section, the bank also provide different types of service from those department like Payment order, Demand Draft, and Telegraphic transfer etc. From the three months internship period it is observed that the deposited amount of different types of accounts and scheme are increased in every month.  Another major part of the report is performance analysis of the SIBL. Some major method is used to analyze the performance. From the calculation it is observed that the every items of Balance sheet and Income statement are increased from the last year. Ratio analysis in one of the common method to analyze the bank performance, from the calculation it is observed that the Liquidity and Efficiency ratio are not good but the percentage of profitability and capital adequacy ratio are increase from the previous year. From the above explanation indicate that the overall performances of the bank are satisfied.

Recommendations:

My three months experience in SIBL in various departments, lead me to recommend on the following issues-

  • Different types of product and service are available in SIBL but clients are not concerned about that, so advertisement and promotional activities should be increased.
  • In General banking department it is necessary to implement modern banking process instead of traditional system.
  • The personnel of different section of General Banking is not sufficient to provide efficient service for the client, so it necessary to increase number of personnel
  • SIBL should try to reduce the rate of commission charge for different service
  • The banks try to make flexible to account opening procedure.
  • Financial performance is not satisfied in some sector, so the bank needs to take appropriate action to develop financial position.
  • SIBL should try to increase the investment amount.
  • SIBL should introduce more innovative & modern product and service for their product.
  • SIBL should try to provide a computer for every personnel; especially for the personnel of cash section.
  • Now a day, the on line banking is very much popular in all over the world, so the bank should try to develop is this side.
  • SIBL should increase Debit card and ATM service
  • SIBL should try to introduce Credit card facilities for their client
