History and Heritage of NBL –

National Bank Limited has its prosperous past, glorious present, prospective future and under processing projects and activities. Established as the first private sector Bank fully owned by Bangladeshi entrepreneurs, NBL has been flourishing as the largest private sector Bank with the passage of time after facing many stress and strain. The member of the board of directors is creative businessman and leading industrialist of the country. To keep pace with time and in harmony with national and international economic activities and for rendering all modern services, NBL, as a financial institution automated all its branches with computer network in accordance with the competitive commercial demand of time. Moreover, considering its forth-coming future the infrastructure of the Bank has been rearranging. The expectation of all class businessman, entrepreneurs and general public is much more to NBL. Keeping the target in mind NBL has taken preparation to open 15 new branches and 5 SME centers by the year 2009. In addition we are further expanding our presence through developing and expanding the SME financing, Any Branch Banking, Off-shore Banking facilities

The emergence of National Bank Limited in the private sector is an important event in the Banking arena of Bangladesh. When the nation was in the grip of severe recession, Govt. took the farsighted decision to allow in the private sector to revive the economy of the country. Several dynamic entrepreneurs came forward for establishing a bank with a motto to revitalize the economy of the country

National Bank Limited was born as the first hundred percent Bangladeshi owned Bank in the private sector. From the very inception it is the firm determination of National Bank Limited to play a vital role in the national economy. We are determined to bring back the long forgotten taste of banking services and flavors. We want to serve each one promptly and with a sense of dedication and dignity.

The then President of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh Justice Ahsanuddin Chowdhury inaugurated the bank formally on March 28, 1983 but the first branch at 48, Dilkusha Commercial Area, Dhaka started commercial operation on March 23, 1983. The 2nd Branch was opened on 11th May 1983 at Khatungonj, Chittagong.

At present, NBL has been carrying on business through its 106 branches spread all over the country. Besides, the Bank has drawing arrangement with 415 correspondents in 75 countries of the world as well as with 37 overseas Exchange Companies located in 13 countries. NBL was the first domestic bank to establish agency arrangement with the world famous Western Union in order to facilitate quick and safe remittance of the valuable foreign exchanges earned by the expatriate Bangladeshi nationals. NBL was also the first among domestic banks to introduce international Master Card in Bangladesh. In the meantime, NBL has also introduced the Visa Card and Power Card. The Bank has in its use the latest information technology services of SWIFT and REUTERS. NBL has been continuing its small credit programme for disbursement of collateral free agricultural loans among the poor farmers of Barindra area in Rajshahi district for improving their lot.Alongside banking activities, NBL is actively involved in sports and games as well as in various Socio-Cultural activities. Upto 2008, the total number of employee of NBL stood at 2,737.

Since the very beginning, the Bank exerted much emphasis on overseas operation and handled a sizeable quantum of homebound foreign remittance. The Bank established extensive drawing arrangement network with Banks and Exchange Companies located in important countries of the world. Expatriates Bangladeshi wage earners residing in those countries can now easily remit their hard-earned money to the country with confidence, safety and speed.

The Bank earned a profit before tax of Tk. 2,828.80 million for 2008, a growth of Tk. 793.70 million or 39 percent, over the normalized profit before tax for 2007.The Bank’s profit after tax and provision for 2008, at Tk. 1,517.40 million reflected an even stronger growth of 22.51 percent or Tk. 1,238.10 million, over the normalized profit after tax for 2007.

The bank’s total loans and advances portfolio was Tk.49, 665.10 million at the end of December 2008 compared to Tk.36, 475.70 million at the end of December 2007.

Being a regular tax payer, we have made a direct contribution to Government Exchequer of Tk. 761.70 million in the calendar year 2008 against Tk. 449.70 million in previous year registering a staggering growth of 69.38 percent.

National Bank, has now acquired strength and expertise to support the banking needs of the foreign investors. NBL stepped into a new arena of business and opened its Off Shore Banking Unit at Mohakhali to serve the wage earners and the foreign investors better than before.

Findings –

ng the period of my internship program I collected various information according to various types of deposit & loan accounts. On the basis of these information and critical observation I find that the Dhanmondi branch of NBL is in a good position. From my point of view I discuss these informations in below:

  • From the observation of various deposit accounts I find that the amount as well as the number of accounts is increasing dramatically day by day. In the month of April, 2009 the most accounts are decrease due to some reasons like rate of interest, account opening is low etc.
  • We can see the performance of monthly savings scheme is very good than other deposit accounts. Other accounts like savings & short term deposit accounts are also appreciated.
  • The authority should more concern about current and FDR accounts because the charts & graph shows that these two types of accounts increase but the level of increasing is not as like as other deposits accounts.
  • The loan provided by the Dhanmondi branch is significantly increasing from last six months but the rate of increase is not sufficient.
  • From the study of the chart & graph I find that the bank provide averagely TK.26,70,250/= from January to April but in last two months the average loan is increase & become TK.5,55,15,500/=.So the authority should give more concern to increase the bank loan.
  • I interviewed 30 deposit customers & they think that the bank should provide online services, establish more ATM booths, reduce the processing time of application regarding various types of accounts, increase the money limit on credit card, reduce service charge etc.
  • I also interviewed 10 loan customers & they suggest that the bank should give more emphasize on these matters like provide education loan, micro credit loans, reduce the amount of securities against loans, the rate of interest should decrease etc.
  • The charts & graphs regarding customers’ satisfaction on deposit & loan account also shows that the customers of dhanmondi branch of NBL is satisfied with the bank services bur they want some improvement in the sectors which is already mentioned in the above. If dhanmondi branch of NBL can improve their service level than the bank can earn more profit & more customers’ satisfaction

 

Conclusion –

Bank is the blood of present financial system. Deposit Mobilization is the bread & butter of any bank. The endurance of any bank depends on how competently it can administer its customers with its services & facilities through Deposit Mobilization. I have work with National Bank as an internee for three months & found many positive reasons of people trust on NBL.I have acquainted with the deposit mobilization procedure of the NBL as it was the part of my internship program. It is an institution which is not only serving people with quality & special service but also serving with great courage. For this reason, the report of NBL is drastically increasing from last year. The analysis shows that NBL has secured its position in the banking business of our country. The track record of NBL mentioned on the analysis is a proof of its tremendous success in banking business. The comparative analysis with some other banks verifies the competitiveness of deposit mobilization of NBL.

However, people do trust on the officers & listen to their advices. The bankers also provide counseling to the clients who need to improve themselves financially. The deposit of NBL is increasing from its inception because people trust on the bank & the relationship with NBL maintains with its clients.Thus, I conclude basing on the analysis that the theme line of National Bank Ltd appropriately matches with the services it offers. The theme of National Bank Ltd is “A Bank for Performance with Potential”.
