deposit and withdraw their money frequently. Without cheque book they cannot withdraw
their money. So practically those account holders need cheque book for their transaction, for

cheque book requisition. Account holders need to fill out those forms for their account
activation. Through banking software I give entry cheque requisition.

in a register book. After that I issued their cheque book and give it to them. After issuing
cheque book they can use their cheque book at any time when they wish. But it has to be in
between transaction hour, which is 9am to 4pm.
2.2.5 Client Account Statement:
Some customers ask for their bank account statement. According to their demand I gave bank
account statement to our customers. We didn’t apply any charge for bank account statement.
2.2.6 Scanning of Different Documents:
When I open an account, I need to collect different documents from customers. Ex- National
ID Card, Passport, driving Licence, Commissioner Certificate etc. So I need to scan those

Voucher.

There are some frequent situations, such as customer of a bank needs to transfer his/her fund
or money to somewhere within the country boundary. It is really a risky thing to carry a big
amount of money from one place to another. So most of the time they just purchase an

instrument is collected through clearing house of Bangladesh Bank. Every day two houses are
arranged in Bangladesh Bank. One in the evening and another in the morning. The evening
house is known as return house. Every day the instruments that are drawn goes to the officer
of the clearing section. He/she enters bank name, branch name, number and the amount
through a software named “Nikash22” in the main schedule of banks. Then the officer makes
a copy of it and goes to the clearing house of Bangladesh Bank. Bangladesh Bank officials
take the copy. Then they set off the claims of UBL on other banks.
3.10 Sorting & Stitching:
Sorting:
At the end of the day, the amount of cash has to be sorted out in order to identify the different
type notes like – 1000, 500, 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, 2, 1 and so on. Hundred pieces of any type of
note create a bundle and ten bundles make a ring. In this way cash is actually sorted out.
Stitching:
After sorting out the cash, bundles are stitched along with a slip bearing the name of the
bank, total number of notes and the signature of the Cash-In-Charge. Two round seals are
given at the both sides of the bundles.

Findings
Of The
Study

of 46
4.1 Findings of the Study
After the completion of the report it is assumed that the report writer get some
finding regarding few points from his report. As like from above report
following findings are found:
 The main limitation of this report is Bank’s policy of not disclosing some data and
information for confidential reason, which could be very much useful for the report. If
I know the actual gap then I can be a threat for them.
 Time period of twelve weeks was too limited to get practical experience. Actually it is
a work of practical. I didn’t get enough time to learn their lessons. And it is not
enough to evaluate them in a short term period.
 As an intern of I have to work in different departments of the branch & during the
twelve week period of internship I worked in clearing department only for 1 week.
That is the problem of it. How could I know perfectly if I worked in that sector for 1
week? That’s problem of intern student.
 Because of the limitation of information, some assumptions were made. So there may
be some unintentional mistake in the report. I didn’t get enough information from
them. Basically they are very busy with their work so they didn’t get time to give me
full information.
 One think I learn from them actually how to behave properly with employee and with
customers. I know from them how to execute the experience what I learned before. I
learned from them how to write cheaque book, dispatch book etc. I also know what is
called business norms. How to react with customer. How to convert difficult situation
into normal.

Chapter 05
Lesson Learned
From The
Internship Report

of 46
5.1 Summary Of Lessons Learned:
Form my experiences; I can say that I really enjoyed my internship period in the Mirpur
branch of Uttara Bank Ltd. From the very first day, I was confident that this 12 weeks
internship program will definitely help me to realize my further carrier in the job market. All
is not so sufficient to measure and express perfectly within this short time of my internship
period. But it was a great opportunity for me to get used to Banking Procedure of Uttara
Bank. I have tried by soul to incorporate the necessary relevant information in my report.
During the course of my practical orientation I have tried to learn the practical banking to
relate it with theoretical knowledge, what I have gathered and going to acquire from various
courses. Followings are some of the lessons I have learned from my internship program.
5.2 Culture:
Every organization has its own culture at the same time this company do have their own
organizational culture. Within a very few days I successfully adapted their culture. I have
acquired a tremendous upgrade in my self assessment criterion, now I optimized my
confidence level in a way that gives me hidden backup of working in such an organization. I
also learned maintaining time, working under pressure and cope up with different types of
people.
5.3 Working Environment:
This company has good working environments. This is very motivating to an employee. A
good working environment results hi better performance. The rights of both employee and
employer are strictly maintained so both parties are secured. High level of work ethics is
evident among the employees. Employees feel free to work at any given level of pressure.
My coordinator and supervisors were very helpful in assisting me. They never misbehaved if
I made any mistakes rather they helped me to correct things. Peers were very friendly and it
was exciting to learn from them.
5.4 Communication:
Throughout the internship program one of the most valuable and important thing I learned is
how to communicate. This company highly emphasize on communication, they prefer virtual
communication rather than faced to face communication. For an example they informed me
the entire schedule earlier and asked if I am comfortable with that. I could change the

of 46
schedule by informing them through email or direct call. If I was late all I needed to do was
to text them or email them. They quickly responded to any sort of communication and that
was the best part.
5.5 Time Management:
One of the good things that I have learned from the experience is time management. I badly
needed to learn the tune management because I had faced serious problems to manage both
my work and study. For example while working in there we had to do work on priority basis.
We had to make a list of work a week advance or more on the basis of importance then mark
on the calendar or create notes in the cell phone or notepads. This gives a clear idea of the
schedule. The benefit of the process is job breaking in small parts with estimated time. This
highly increases the efficiency and performance and reduces time wastage. Time
management skills helped me a lot to cope up with big assignments and important meetings.
5.6 Networking:
It is useless being qualified and not having any important contacts. This is how it works in
anywhere in the country. We practice the similar things in our company. Uttara Bank Ltd.
was helpful in teaching me how to network because I had to attend the board meeting with
directors, member and senior employees. They knew me for my performance and offered me
different opportunities for my performance. I was greatly benefited by this skill. They are
given high level of importance not only into a university but also outside the university as
they have strong networks. I had a great opportunity to know some of professors personally
for my performance and they ensured me to refer when I need them. I am still in contact with
them.
5.7 Customer Service:
I worked at General Banking department but still I had to do attend clients to provide service.
It was mandatory for every intern. It was necessary because if I did not know the clients well
then how am I going to serve them better. I learned how to communicate with them. Then it
helped me to give better services. I learned how to handle difficult situations with the clients.
Attending clients gave an overview of demands and needs of them to enhance the
satisfaction.

Concluding
Statements

of 46
6.1 Conclusion:
As an organization the Uttara Bank Limited has earned the reputation of top listed banks
operating in Bangladesh. The organization is much more structured compared to any other
listed bank operating in Bangladesh. It is relentless in pursuit of business innovation and
improvement. It has a reputation as a leader in financing manufacturing sector.
With a bulk of qualified and experienced human resource, Uttara Bank Limited can exploit
any opportunity in the banking sector. It is pioneer in introducing many new products and
services in the banking sector of the country. Moreover, in the retail-banking sector, it is
unmatched with any other listed banks because of its wide spread branch networking thought
the country.
6.2 Recommendation:
The success of a bank depends on improved service delivery to its customers. Now so many
banks in the country have emerged to cater to the needs of the customers. But till now most
of the bank in Bangladesh is using conventional banking system. UBL is not exception to this
trend. So, there are many areas to improve. In this regard, I would like to recommend the
followings:
 The Check passing system of UBL is very time consuming. When a client submits a
check, it’s handled in three places. Firstly, it is registered on the supplementary sheet,
then it comes for computer posting (as well for first cancellation) and lastly it comes
to the section in-charge for verification of the signature and for cancellation. After
that it goes to the cash payment officer for final payment. For this system, the client
has to frequently enquire that whether his/her check has been passed for payment or
not. Also, it takes their valuable time. So, UBL needs to change this system and move
on to a better check passing system.
 Due to lack of one stop service, the client of UBL has to move on from one desk to
another. Now in modern banking system, this type of movement is considered as one
type of harassment.
 The bank should launch new products such as auto teller machine, tele bank etc for
betterment of customer service.

of 46
 Strict supervision must be adopted in case of high-risk borrowers. Time to time visit
to the project should be done by the bank officials.
UBL must understand that the keys of becoming one of the most successful banks don’t only
depend on the growth and profitability of the bank. It also depends on the relationship with its
present and prospective clients. If UBL can incorporate the latest banking systems and
maintain a good customer relationship then obviously they will emerge as one of the most
successful banks in the country.
