demerits. There are various challenges Bank may face in future due to following

20. Problems of the E-Banking
Bangladesh companies are facing problems to state full swing E –banking. According to a
report published in The Daily Star (4th April, 2010) Bangladesh ranked 118th in the global
network readiness index in 2009-2010 up from 130th a year ago, showing an upward trend in
the information and communication sector. Policy maker of the country are not aware about
the benefits of E-banking. As such they don’t put significance on proper and systematic
development of the process of E-Banking.
At present the banks of Bangladesh are using limited electronic Banking services. It is
expected the Bank can attain profit and offer better services to its customers by introducing
online banking facilities.
Credit card Facility full can not be extended in the country.
Inefficiency and inadequate knowledge of the bank mgt about the online banking.
Lack of proper strategic plan to gain and retain market share of the indigenous banks.
Lack of international standard communication channel.
High cost of establishing online banking system.
Inadequate back and front office mgt.
 Lack of integrated plan among the bank and central bank authority.
 Inefficiency clearing house facilities.

21. Recommendation to prosper E-Banking

22. SWOT Analysis
To find out the viability of a particular product we must perform a SWOT analysis of the
product. This will analysis the strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats of the particular
product. For analysis the performance of internet banking in Bangladesh we the following
SWOT analysis is considered.
Strength
•Internet Banking is new in our market. Only a few banks are now offering internet service in
solving banking problems. Most of the banks are offering only accounting information online.
Actual fund transfer and fund disbursement is not possible in all the banks that are offering
internet service. So this product will enjoy the benefit of a first mover.
•It is cheap both for the banks and the customer. The bank will be able to lower down the
overhead costs and make more profit out of it. Internet banking will require less manual
workers. Again the customers will be abele to save time as well as money for their transaction
needs.
•Internet banking is convenient as the service is available all the time at just.

23. Weaknesses
•Securities breakdown: The system will have a problem with the identification of the individual who is
initiating the transaction. In Bangladesh, the identification of an individual is not yet supported
digitally. So there will be a problem in moving to the internet era for banking purpose just now. First
we will have to develop a digital database of the users of the internet banking services.
•The transaction can be cancelled only via internet. The internet infrastructure of our country is not
that much supportive to provide all time access to the web. So there will be a problem in executing
the service with its full functionality.
Opportunities
•Non-branch banking is becoming popular in our country. Many banks are now offering non-branch
banking facilities. A person can withdraw or deposit money in any branch of the bank he has account
with. So moving to internet banking will allow the banks to offer non-branch banking facilities.
•The internet services are becoming very common to us. So a service offered through the internet will
be widely accepted in the near future.
Threats
•People have concern about security and privacy. They like to feel their money with their hand. They
actually don’t believe in virtual money transfer.
In the field of IT new technology is coming everyday. The one which is very popular today might get
obsolete tomorrow. So to have a competitive edge over the competitors the banks must always
update their services

26. Conclusion
The present status of-e-banking is not satisfactory in case of virtual
banking, call center and SMS banking. Major reason is the security
concern. A few problems have been experienced by the IT heads in the
banks such as withdrawal of money beyond the limit. This has taken place
at ATM booths because there is agreement between banks regarding
networking sharing. Gigantic fraud does not take place because there is
limit is ATM debit and credit to withdraw money from the banks.
