ORGANIZATION: AN OVERVIEW

“To serve the nation through our excellent customer service” is the mission of National Credit and Commerce Bank Limited trough a contemplation of assuring ‘A professional term of Bankers is running the day to day operation of the bank’.

The journey of National Credit and Commerce Bank for Excellence in Banking as a scheduled Commercial Bank begun in 17 May 1993 as a public limited company incorporated in Bangladesh under the Companies Act 1994 and listed in Dhaka Stock Exchange Limited and Chittagong Stock Exchange Limited. It was the time when a rapid economic development in the country concurrent with urbanization and life style changes created demands for new banking products and services.

The institution started its function back in 1985 as an investment company in the name and style of National Credit Ltd. Paid-up capital of the company was Tk. 5.00 crore only at that time. NCL performed well for near about 7 years. The core objective of the company was to play a catalyst role in the capital market of the country by way of participating in security trading, underwriting, etc. However, in 1992 in the backdrop of closure of BCCI and BCI, another investment company, NCL faced a severe setback in respect of business. With active initiative taken by the members of the board and the management team, the company could overcome the problem and get it converted into a full-fledged Commercial Bank on 17.05.1993 after obtaining license from Bangladesh Bank as National Credit and Commerce Bank Limited. The authorized capital of the bank was fixed at Tk.75.00 crore and paid capital at Tk.39.00 crore of which 19.50 crore was subscribed by the Sponsors at that time. Present paid capital stands at Tk.48.05 crore. At present the bank is operating through 31 Branches and 1 Booth at most key point of the country.

Methodology

Both primary and secondary sources are used in collecting information for preparing this report. During internship in NCCBL, I was routed through each of the departments and spent few days in department according to the schedule given at the beginning of the internship program. I interviewed managers and officers of the relevant departments and observed their activities. Every now and then I engaged in conversation with the management. This is basically how I gathered information through primary sources. I also met through relevant manuals and reports of NCCBL for collection information.

Data Analysis

DEPOSIT PERFORMANCE OF NCCBL

The bank mobilized a total deposit of 1639.12 million as on 31st December 2002 as against Tk.13180.3 million as on 31st December 2000 showing an increase of 24.34% over the preceding year. Several welfare deposit schemes introduced by the bank have helped in mobilization of savings and growth in deposits o the bank.

 

 CREDIT PERFORMANCE OF NCCBL:

The Bank followed its own credit policy within guidelines emanating from Bangladesh Bank in respect of loanable fund .The bank continues to explore and diversify the area of financing in addition to traditional financing of domestic and international trade. It financed a number of industrial projects and participated in industrial loans in syndication with other banks during the year. Consumer credit scheme and lease Financing introduced by the bank earlier are also operating satisfactorily. The total loans and advances of Bank increases to Tk.13138.1 million as on 31st December2002 against Tk. 10788.7   million as on 31st December 2001 indicating an increase of 21.78 percent.

 

Finding & Recommendation

1)  NCCBL Moghbazar branch has SWIFT facilities. Very few bank in our country offer this. By using this modern technology Moghbazar branch, provide fastest service on L/C operating to it’s client.

2)  Pre-shipment inspection certificate should obtain from the exporter of back to back L/C. Because it reduces fraud and forgery in case of import against master export L/C. But all the time this Pre-shipment inspection certificate are not wanted by the bank.

3)  On some cases, this branch takes different Margin and commission on L/Cs from different customer. A customer is allowed to open a L/C even with 10% margin. I think that the bank should review the customers’ behavior for a period and should develop a certain policy in this regard.

4) In case of Export L/Cs, sometimes customers insist to give their payments though their documents are found discrepant. In some cases, Bank has to give payment to these customers for different reasons. I think the Bank should be as much strict as possible about giving payments against discrepant documents without hurting the customers.

5)  NCCBL Moghbazar branch did not practice revocable L/C.

6)  In many cases, the foreign banks want confirmations from other foreign banks with which this bank has correspondence. This proves the poor financial condition of our country. Banks should try to improve this situation.

7)  The bank should try to arrange more training programs for their officials. Quality training will help the officials to enrich them with more recent knowledge of International Trade Financing.

8) In case of Export L/Cs, the Government encourages the exporters by giving different facilities like tax-cuts. I think the bank should also think about such type of facilities to be given to the Exporters because Bangladeshi exporters like Readymade garments exporters are going to face a tough situation in coming years from the exporters of other countries.

9)  NCCBL Moghbazar branch has not adequate number of skilled manpower in foreign exchange department.

10)  NCCBL is one of the largest private commercial bank in our country. Therefore, it must think seriously to adopt ON LINE banking.

Conclusion

During the three months Practical orientation program at Moghbazar Branch, almost all the desks have been observed more or less. This Practical orientation program, in first, has been arranged for gaining knowledge of practical banking and to compare this practical knowledge with theoretical knowledge. Comparing practical knowledge with theoretical involves identification of weakness in the branch activities and making recommendations for solving the weakness identified. Though all departments and sections are covered in the internship program, it is not possible to go to the depth of each activities of branch because of time limitation. However, highest effort has been given to achieve the objectives the internship program.

In the conclusion, We want to give thanks to the NCCBL Head Office authority, especially Mr.Md. Nurul Amin EVP, Chief of the Human Resources Division. I want to give thanks to Mr. Md. Khorshed Alam, AVP, Mr. Md. Mohiuddin, AVP, Mr. Md. Rabiul Alam Tipu, AVP, Mr. A.H.M. Manzur Qader Khan ,SAVP Mr. T. M. Faruque Chowdhury SVP, NCCBL Moghbazar Branch. I give special thanks to all the officials of NCCBL  Moghbazar Branch who helped me a lot about my practical exposure in the Bank. I want to express my deepest respect and thanks to our BBA Program Director, Professor Mian  Lutfar Rahman  who guided me with their kind help in completing my orientation program in Bank.
