The minimum amount of balance has to be maintained with STD account is TK. 25000 Interest is given at a rate of 4.5 percent which is less than savings account. Normally various big companies, organizations, government departments keep money in STD account. For this type of account, frequent withdrawal is discouraged.

The account holder must give seven days before the withdrawal that is why STD is also called ‘Seven days notice’ current account.

Fixed period specified in advance. These deposits are time deposit. Normally the money on a fixed deposit is not repayable before the maturity date of a fixed period. At the time of opening the deposit account, the banker issued a receipt acknowledging the receipt of money on deposit account. It is popularly known as FDR. An interest rate ranging from 10.50 percent to 11.50 percent is offered depending on different amount and tenure of deposit.

In this case, they will have to submit an application to the branch manager stating the reasons. The officer verifies the signature and finds out the balance of the account holder. The holder also submits the rest check leaves along with the application. Then the officer issues an Inter Branch Credit Advice (IBCA) to that branch and a debit voucher with the balance of deposit in that account. He also sends the account opening form and specimen signature card to that new branch. The new branch officer verifies the customer signature with account opening form supplied to him. The amount mentioned in the (IBCA) considered as the initial deposit of the new branch.

Cash Credit:

Cash credit is given through cash credit amount. Cash credit amount is basically a current account, however a little different exist between them. The distinction between a current account and cash credit account is that the former is intended to be an account with credit balance and the letter and account for drawing of advances. Operation of cash credit is same as that of overdraft. The purpose of cash credit is to meet working capital need of traders, farmers and industrialists.

Overdraft:

Overdraft is that advance which is allowed on current account operated upon by check. The customer may be sanctioned a certain limit within which he can overdraw his current A/C within a certain period The customer can withdrawals or deposits any numbers of within his limit. Bank gives overdraft in following two ways:

  • SOD (secured overdraft)
  • Cash credit

Secured Overdraft (SOD)

Secured overdraft is a continuous credit facility to the customer of the bank. This kind of credit facility is given on following security:

  • Various kind of Sanchay Patras
  • Government security
  • FDR (fixed deposit receipts)
  • Shares
  • ICB unit certificate
  • Work order

If any customer wants to get SOD facility from the Bank, he has to submit an application to the Bank manager It must be done in prescribed form of the bank. After getting application form bank made an office note. In this note bank officer write down the following things:

  • Nature of limit
  • Extent of limit

SOD limit for FDR, BSB, PSP, ICB unit certificate:

  • Two care from branch level
  • Above from head office

SOD limit for different kinds share:

  • 20 lac from branch label
  • If it is more then 2.0 lac, the branch has to take approved from head office

For share bank can sanction 70% credit facility for “A” grade share and 60% for “B” grade share. In case of SOD on share the last six months average value or present value, which one is higher, is considered.

SOD on Work Order:

If any party wants to get SOD facility from the bank after getting work order, he has to submit an application with reliable security mention there In past time bank give SOD facility without any collateral security . But now bank do not give any SOD facility against work order If bank see that all of his papers are eligible for getting SOD facility, bank asks him to give a power of attorney to the bank for receiving all kinds of payment for the work. He can get up to 50%of the amount of the work that he has to done. But he has to submit his collateral security for that. He gets 50% SOD facility against his collateral security. After getting power of attorney bank sends a request letter to the authority by which the work has been issued. Then that authority sends a letter to the bank that they will make all of the payment of the party through the bank. After getting the letter the bank credits the SOD amount to the customer’s current account. When bank gets payment from the authority, they make a ratio and cut off their amount from that payment.

The following charge documents arc taken from the customer:

P (promissory note) note: Three types

1) Single DP note

2) Joint DP note

3) Joint and several DP note

  • Letter of arrangement
  • Letter of continuity
  • Letter of lien for advances against share, stocks and security.

Cash Credit (CC):

Cash credit is the favorite mode of borrowing by traders, industrialist etc. for meeting their working capital. Cash credit is a kind of continuous overdraft. In banking system cash credit is given for two purposes. The purposes are as following:

  • Working capital
  • Trading purpose

It is a favorite mode of advance for the customer. For cash credit facility bank allow a limit for his customer. The customer can make continuous transaction with in that limit. CC is given for one year. After one year the customer can renew his CC facility.

Interest:

For CC facility interest is counted daily basis. That means customer has to only that amount of interest which is outstanding in his CC account. Interest is cut off from customer current in tram wise.

Mode of security:

For CC banks take two type of security. These are as following:

  • Pledge
  • Hypothecation

In branch level bank cannot give more then 30 lac taka to his customer. But if bank want, they can give more then 30 lacs. The branch has to get approval from head office of the bank.

For giving CC bank takes following charge document:

  1. DP note

Bills purchases and discounted:

Banks grant advances to their customers by discounting bill of exchange or pro-note.

Security against Advances:

The different types of securities that offered to a banker are as follows:

    1. Immovable Property
    2. Movable Property.

  5. Pledge of Goods, produce.
  6. Hypothecation of goods, produce and machinery.
  7. Fixed assets of manufacturing unit.
  8. Shipping documents.

 

Modes of Charging Security:

  1. Lien:

A lien is right of banker to hold the debtor’s property until the debt is discharged, bank generally retain the assets in his own custody but sometimes this goods is in the hand of third party with lien marked. When it is in the hand of third party, the third party cannot discharge it without the permission of bank. Lien gives banker the right to retain the property not the right to sell. Lien can be made on movable goods only such as raw materials finished goods, shares, debentures etc

  1. Pledge:

Pledge is also like lien but here bank enjoys more right. Bank can sell the property without the intervention of any court, in case of default on loan, but for such selling proper notice must be given to the debtor. To create pledge, physical of goods to the bank is must.

  1. Hypothecation:

In this charge creation method, physically the goods remained in the hand of debtor. But the documents of title of goods are handed over to the banker. The method is also called equitable charge. Since the goods are in the hand of borrower, bank inspects the goods regularly to judge its quality and quantity for the maximum safety of loan.

  1. Mortgage:

Mortgage is transfer of an interest in specific immovable property. Mortgage is created on the immovable property like land, building, plant etc. most common type of mortgage is legal mortgage in which ownership is transferred to the bank by registration of the mortgage deed. Another method called equitable mortgage is also used in bank for creation of charge. Here mere deposit of title to goods is sufficient for creation of charge. Registration is not required. In both the case, the mortgaged property is retained in the bank of borrower.

 

Advanced Against Fixed Deposit Receipts:

  1. Fixed Deposit Receipt

Advance against Fixed Deposit Receipt will be subject to credit restrictions imposed from time to time by Head Office/ Bangladesh Bank. Scrutinize the Fixed Deposit Receipts with regard to the following points:

  1. The fixed Deposit Receipt is not in the name of a minor.
  2. The depositor on revenue stamp of adequate value discharges in hand his signature is verified.
  3. Creation of liability on Fixed Deposit issued in joint names by any one of the depositors is irregular.
  4. It the deposit receipt is offered as a security for allowing advances, a letter of line shall be obtained from the depositors, on the appropriate form.
  5. If the deposit receipt has been issued by the branch-allowing advance, line against that specific deposit receipt to be marked in the fixed deposit register of the branch.
  6. The discharged receipt, the letter of lien duly verified by the issuing branch and the letter confirming registration of the lien on the deposit receipts shall be kept along with other documents under safe custody of the bank.
  7. Lien on the partial amount of deposit shall not be accepted.

 

SWOT analysis

SWOT Analysis: IFIC Bank Limited

The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of IFIC Bank Limited are noted below as I have found in my analysis.

Strengths:

  • Strong capital position of the bank
  • Capability to mobilize substantial deposits through various deposit schemes despite low offering.
  • Low non-performing assets or classified loans of the bank signify strengths in credit customer selection.
  • Ability to maintain positive non-interest margin that signifies efficiency in earning fee incomes.

Weaknesses: 

  • Lack of adequate liquidity of the bank
  • Management’s inability to converts assets into earnings efficiently which results in decrease in return of assets, return on equity and earnings per share.
  • Inability to cope with economic conditions resulted in slower growth of interest earning assets than of interest bearing liabilities. The net effect was decline in operating profit in the recent year.

Opportunities:

  • Technology integration for automation of business process can gain competitive edge over the others.
  • Increasing awareness of Islamic banking can bring more success for Islamic Banking Branches
  • The revolution of Information Technology (IT) in the country may lead to success for the bank, as IT sector is a major target area for lending.

Threats:

  • Increased competition in the market for public deposits
  • Market pressure for lowering the profit or interest rate
  • Volatile global and local economic scenarios
  • High concentration in loans as percentage of total deposit may cause severe liquidity problem if significant percentage of loan holder become default.
  • The declining return on equity, earnings per share and dividend can give danger signal to the investors.

 

Recommendation:

In order to get competitive advantage and to deliver quality service, top management should to modify the services.

Rectify the Existing Problems:

  • As there is no classified loan, branch should monitor the loans & advances closely to avoid classification in future.
  • Banani Branch should extend with their all out effort to increase the credit portfolio and to procure more low cash deposit, increase non funded business so as to minimize dependency on interest earning from IFIC Bank general account and to improve overall business performance of the branch to maintain earning.
  • When a joint stock company comes to open an account if it’s an existing one, the account opening officer should ask the copies of the Balance Sheet and Income Statement. These will reflect the financial growth of the company and its soundness but in practice bank do not do this. If they have all these that will help them to examine money laundering risk.
  • There are numbers of new private banks and some have already activated with their extended customer service pattern in a completely competitive market. Where as IFIC Banani branch is far behind. They are not competitive in customer service because the officers do not behave in professional manner in fort of customer.
  • To deliver quality service top management of this breach should try to mitigate the gap between customer’s expectation and employee’s perception and customer’s convenience should give priority.
  • IFIC Bank should always monitor the performance of its competitors in the field of Foreign Trade.
  • IFIC Bank Ltd. must develop electronic banking system to moderate the service. Technological advantage of a bank ensuring its competitive edge in the market place which can only be achieved by improved technology, efficient manpower and better services.

 

 

 

Conclusion

Customer service is a big factor for a bank to keep the customer happy and satisfied with the services that bank can provide with highest effort. A bank is an intermediary institution, which deposited customer’s money and again invests it to other customers to reach the goal as well as specific objective. A bank can not be able to reach the goal until it makes the customer satisfied by providing services as much as the customer needs.

In this report the importance of customer service has been highlighted. It indicates that the customers are the most valuable assets for a bank. Without having a good number of customers and a good relation with the customer a bank can’t run well in this era because there is huge competition. So I tried to make a relationship scenario of customer with this bank to measure the service quality.

To be the number one bank, there should be a strategy for a bank, that customers are the source of fund and customer should get all the benefits, whish can provide a lot for the customer and as well as can bring a lot for the bank. So each and every strategy should build on the basis of mutual benefit.

After preparing this report it is become easy to say that there should be a goal to make the customer always happy and satisfied with the service, only then a bank can run its business safe and soundly in this competitive era.
