5.1 Findings & Issues

Mutual Trust Bank Limited is a private sector bank. When preparing this report I have found some areas which require attention.

  •           When a client try to open an A/C he must have to need an introducer, sometime it may create a problems for the new clients.
  •           The person who wants to purchase pay order, TT, DD should have account in the bank branch. These will discourage customers to transact with bank.
  •           They have no own ATM booth, their Visa cards can be used by DBBL ATM’S.
  •           Their numbers of branches are not sufficient enough.
  •           MTB offer relatively low interest rate for Deposited Account than interest rate on lending.
  •           The advertisement of the bank is not enough.
  •           MTB provide comprehensive training to their employees.
  •           MTBL’S SWIFT service is only applicable for the branches of Dhaka city.
  •           As a private bank, MTBL is trying its best to increase their service to the public.
  •          MTBL gives emphasis on E-Banking.

5.2 Recommendations

Following are my recommendations for improvements-

  •           Very immediately they need to setup their own ATM booth to uphold their goodwill.
  •          Branch expansion should be done very rapidly to increase their market share, especially in the prime location of the country and to make the best use of online banking.
  •           They need more advertisement to promote their Tele and SMS Banking.
  •           MTB provide comprehensive training to their employees and need to continue it.
  •           They need to introduce SWIFT services in other branches of the country to facilitate customer.
  •           The bank should introduce new innovative products to attract new potential customers and also to keep its existing customer happy.
  •          They need to flexible conditions on P/O, TT, and DD to encourage outside customers to transact with bank.
  •           Personal relationship should be build up with clients.

MTBL should consider the above criteria to provide customer the best service which will add value to their company while at the same time will make them able to survive in the competitive field.

5.3 Conclusion

In today’s world every economic activity is depend on banking system. It plays a vital role for the economic development. So banking services are very important to speed development. MTBL as a one of the leading private bank in Bangladesh also introduce no. of new and customer oriented banking services and product to contribute in the economic welfare of the country. In this report I tried to highlight their banking services and which will help me a lot to be a professional banker in future.
