Introduction

Among these three divisions general banking is the core and

leading division. General banking division is the most

important point of all activates. It is the storage point of

all kinds of transactions of foreign exchange division,

With the technological advancement this sector is growing

tremendously. As a fast growing bank BASIC Bank actively

Introduction

1.1 Origin of the Report

Banking is one of the most important sectors for country’s

wealth building activities. Commercial banks are certainly

profit making Financial Institutions. These institutions

play great role in the money market of every economy.

Due to recent financial crisis (Particularly in U.S.A,

G.B,EU,Japan) globalization, technological innovation and

deregulation in the banking system all over the world has

been changing rapidly. Now a day’s banks have to compete in

the market place not only with local institutions but also

with foreign financial institutions.

The course under BBA program is designed with an excellent

combination of theoretical and practical aspects. The whole

course is divided into twelve semesters of 4 months each.

After completion of 11th semester consisting of theoretical

exposure, the student are sent to different organization to

3 | P a g e

obtain some practical exposure in different sectors which

would help them in taking up more professional courses in

BBA.as a student of BBA,I have assigned to BASIC Bank

Limited, Karwan Bazar Branch for my practical orientation. I

have mainly focused on General Banking Activities of BASIC

Bank Limited.

1.2 Objective of the study

General objective

The study is intended for providing me invaluable

practical knowledge about banking operation in

Bangladesh. The general objective is to prepare the

4 | P a g e

report to acquire practical knowledge of the Banking

Sector.

Specific objective

To accomplish the partial requisite of BBA Program and

to achieve of good judgment with theoretical base.

To have a revelation on the banking environment in

Bangladesh.

5 | P a g e

1.3 Limitation of the Study

In collecting information, there is some problem

because of the excessive nature confidentiality

maintained by the officials of BASIC.

Learning all the banking functions within 90 days

really tough.

The bank authority was very busy, so they did not

give me enough time for discussion on various

problems.

This is my first experience on job, so there may

arise some faults though I have tried my level best.

Literature Review

Islam (2003) states that the monetary authority determines

the exchange rate policy aiming to achieve two main

objectives. First, the “domestic target”, which includes

restraining inflation rate, credit growth in the public and

private sector, and the growth of liquidity and broad money.

Secondly, the „external target‟, which includes promotion in

international reserves level, reduce the current account

gap, control trends of exchange rate changes in the local

inter-bank foreign exchange market, and adjust the trends in

the exchange rates of neighboring trade partners: India,

Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

8 | P a g e

2. Literature Review

It is also emphasized by King (2001) that the many

descriptions today haveh no exactness of meaning. There is

no point in giving labels to credits unless the labels are

of universal application and are reasonably descriptive of

the credit to which they are attached.

Proactive fraud prevention has to be conducted, and it

covers good division of responsibilities, supervision of

staff, monitoring work performance, and all those measures

intended to ensure dishonest people cannot access the

system, or even if the systemis accessed that a proper

control is in place (COSO, 2004). Further factors that help

to prevent fraud can be anti-fraud policies, procedures,

training and fraud awareness (Naill, 2006). Nevertheless,

It can be criticised as being impractical for banks to check

the authenticity of any documents or the signatures on such

documents, due to the large number of shipping companies and

agents in the world and the vast number of documents

presented to banks in L/C transactions. but it may not be

possible to determine whether the goods were loaded on that

ship and the nature or quality of the goods (UNCTAD Report,

1983). Thus, it was further suggested that banks carry out

investigations on some documents on an ad hoc basis; but

9 | P a g e

such an approach did not seem to be a satisfactory answer

(UNCTAD Report, 1983).

Conclusion & Recommendations

Conclusion

The Banking arena in recent time is one of the most

competitive business fields in Bangladesh. As Bangladesh is

a developing country, a strong banking sector can change the

socio economic structure of the country. So, we can say, the

whole economy of the country is linked up with its banking

system. There are 54 banks in Bangladesh in which 38 are

indigenous commercial Banks. BASIC Bank Ltd. is a state-

owned scheduled Bank as well as a potential and promising

bank in the banking sector in Bangladesh. As desired, its

functions and activities in the economy are being aligned

with the objectives set by the Government of Bangladesh

since its inception. This bank performs hundreds of

important activities both for the public and for the

government as a whole. It has an outstanding bearing to

thrive our business sector. It has strong performance on

General Banking, Loans & Advances, Industrial credit and

foreign Exchange. By using limited technology and having

limited of branches at home it is increasing the volume of

export-import business including homebound remittances. The

84 | P a g e

effective and efficient Foreign Exchange Business of the

Bank helps in the continuous growth and progress of national

economy.

BASIC Bank Limited is, no doubt, playing a vital role in the

economic sector of Bangladesh. I hope, the successful

walkway of BASIC Bank Limited will remain continuous for a

long time and become a role model in the banking sector in

our country.

BASIC Bank Ltd is redefining the traditional banking

concepts and transforming it into relationship banking.

BASIC considers the borrower as clients. The mutual

relationship is the essence of long term success in the

banking industry. The ever increasing competitive nature of

banking business determines the direction of the bank.

Sustainability in better performance is the prime focus in

BASIC Bank.

Recommendation

85 | P a g e

Bank should develop its process of providing services. To

should be asked. The other suggestions are as follows:

active in rendering customer service.

The bank can open more branches to reach to more

customers.

Each and every section of the general banking

department should be fully computerized for rendering

better service.

Number of officers in the general banking department

should be increased.

The bank should be more profit concerned as well as to

take part in the social service.

The bank should introduce more products based on the

market demand.

The bank should reduce their minimum balance to attract

more customers.

86 | P a g e

The department of bank more efficient to make profit by

satisfying customers.

BBL shall take more attractive promotional activities.

Increase number of ATM booths.

Ensure smooth network to ensure uninterrupted ATM

service.

The software used by BBL for their operations shall be

improved.

Bank should introduce separate team for the marketing

of their services who might inform the customers about

their different services of the bank.
