2.1Rationale:
As part of my under graduate program, I am currently working as an Intern in a renowned
financial institution named “National Bank Limited”. Till the period of my internship, I am
working in several departments. I had spent most of the time working in General Banking
Department. I am preparing this report concentrating on the General Banking Department of
National Bank Limited. On this report I represent all of the bank’s facility provided to the
valuable customers. Moreover I have come up with some findings and recommendations based
in the experience gathered.
It is mandatory to complete a three months internship program in order to complete the BBA
program. After finishing my course work, I was assigned to complete my internship program in
NBL. As per the instruction of internship supervisor, I was devoted to learn the banking
operation of NBL. During the tenure of my internship program, I worked in three sections of
banking. However, I have worked more vigorously in General Banking department in particular.
Based on the learning and practical experience, I have prepared this report. It is also mandatory
to submit a report to the bank.
2.2.1 NationalBANK LIMITED PROFILE:
9. National bank Ltd is the first and major private sector commercial bank in Bangladesh fully
owned by the Bangladeshi Entrepreneurs. The Bank started its operation from 23rd March 1983.
As a result of the collective effects of the some eminent bankers, of failure in playing due to role
in mobilizing small savings of the teeming millions and providing improved clients services to
them in our country, the Government gave right decision to allow establishing banks in private
sector. 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. It is determined to bring bank the long forgotten
taste of banking services and flavors. It wants to serve each one promptly and with a sense of

post independence Bangladesh and has now established it self as one of the most successful bank

overseas activities with utmost efficiency through its 358 correspondents in 67 countries of the
world. NBL has drawing with 18 overseas exchange houses including the gulf overseas

round the clock communication with the external world using the latest information technology
services of SWIFT and REUTERS. In order to give improved and risk free banking services to
the valuable clients, all arrangements for launching line banking are its final stage.
Since the very beginning the bank extended 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

including market information and advice and today the garment sector constitutes about 66% of
the total export of the country.

CHAPTER-03
ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN
3.1 Work Related:
General banking division usually performs a lot of important banking activities. General banking
division is the division, which is mostly exposed to the maximum number of bank customers. It
is the introductory department of the bank to its customers. All business concerns earn a profit
through selling either product or a service. A bank does not produce any tangible product to sell
18. but does offer a variety of financial services to its customers. NBL has all the required sections
of general banking and this section are run by manpower with high quality banking knowledge.
General banking section has three parts.
But I was assigned in the Account Opening Section and Local Remittance Section
Of three general banking sections short overview of these two sections is given below-
3.1.1 ACCOUNT OPENINGSECTION
A banker-customer relationship starts through opening an account. So, the account-opening
section does the crucial activities for banks as well as customers. Besides opening accounts for
customers, this section deals with all the activities related to the account as well as some of the
customer services.
• New account opening
• Closing accounts
• Cheque book issue
• Account Transfer
• Account enquiry
19. • Issue notice to dormant account holder
• Activation of dormant account
• Transaction statement
• Bank solvency certificates and other certificates
• Other services.
3.1.1.1NEW ACCOUNT OPENING
Banker-customer relationship is a contractual one and this starts through opening of an account.
To open an account, customer has to apply through a form provided by the bank named
“Account Opening Form (AOF).” Bank requires to take as much as information about its
customer during opening an account. The account opening form is a composite one and consists
of followings:
• Personal Information Form
• Account Opening Form (Individual/Corporate)
• Expected Transaction Profile (ETP) Form
• KYC Form
• Terms and Conditions
• Specimen Signature (SS) Card.
After receiving the dully fill up forms and necessary documents, bank may open that account.
The minimum balance for opening an account must be received in cash. With the permission of
Manager or Head of Operation, bank opens account. After opening an account, bank will not
issue chequebook immediately rather bank issue a “Thanks letter” to customer’s address by mail
for verification. With the thanks letter, bank sends an “Acknowledgement.” When customer
comes to bank with acknowledgement, a cheque book requisition form is provided to him.
Customer receives cheque-book seven days after requisition.
20. • Types of accounts
Basically the following types of accounts are opened. They are-
Savings Deposit
Current Deposit
Term Deposit
Foreign Currency Deposit
Monthly Savings Scheme
Savings Account
In savings deposit account, profit is payable to the customer. The profit for savings account is 4
percent. Customer can withdraw twice in a week and maximum limit per transaction is BDT 5
Lac. The minimum account opening balance is Tk.600 and charged twice a year.
Current Account
No profit is payable in current accounts. Current account has advantages over savings account.
Advantages are - no such withdrawal limit and overdraft facility. The minimum account opening
balance is Tk.2000 and account maintaining fee is Tk.500.
Fixed Deposit
Any amount can be deposited. Premature encashment facility is available. Overdraft
facility available against term receipt.

with the time.
21. Foreign Currency Deposit

Authorized Dealer Branches. Bangladesh nationals residing abroad or foreign nationals residing
abroad or Bangladesh and foreign firms operating in Bangladesh or abroad or foreign missions
and their expatriate employees.
Monthly Savings Scheme

This scheme is specially designed for the benefit of the limited income group members. This
helps to accrue small monthly savings into a significant sum at the end of the term. So, after the
expiry of the term period the depositor will have a sizeable amount to relish on.

3.1.2 REMITTANCE SECTION
Sending money from one place to another through some charges is called remittance. To pay or
receive money of customers in the form of remittance from one place to another, from one
person to another inside and outside the national boundary is an earning source of every bank.
NBL operates both the foreign and local remittance to serve its customers.
Foreign Remittance:
Foreign remittance is to send money of customers from one place to another, from one person to
another outside the national boundary. Though Western Union, National Bank Ltd is able to
serve the customers by paying their incoming foreign remittance in the form of local currency.
Activities undertaken in foreignremittance:
When a customer come to the bank for receiving foreign remittance, the customer give his pin
number and say from which country the sender send money to the authorize officer. He checks
by his computer .If everything is ok, he gave me a form and two pieces of printed paper. From
that printed paper I wrote sender information and the amount of money. I also wrote the receiver
26. information from his/her national ID card. I also collected the receiver sign on the form. After
that I attached receivers photocopy of national ID card to the form and submitted to the authorize
officer.
LocalRemittance:
Sending money of customers in the form of remittance from one place to another, from one
person to another inside the national boundary is another earning source of every bank. There are
several techniques for collecting local remittance. These are:
• Pay Order
• Demand Draft (DD)
• Telegraphic Transfer (TT)
Payment Order (P.O.)
Payment Order is a process of money transfer from payer to payee within a certain clearing area
through banking channel. It's an order of local payment on behalf of the bank or its constitution.
A customer can purchase different modes of payment Order such as pay order by cash and pay
order by check.

Demand Draft:
The demand draft is a written order by one branch of a bank upon another branch of the same
bank to pay a certain sum of money to or to the order of a specified person. DD is the most
frequently used mode of inland remittance. It is applicable outside the Dhaka City. The DD
generally issued for party’s safety. If there is a huge amount to bear one place to another, then
customer can do the DD and bear it to his destination instead of cash.
Activities undertaken for provide DD:
The processing of Demand draft is all most same to pay order. The authorize officer write the dd.
Sometimes I also wrote the demand draft. I collected the signature of second officer and when
the clients receive the pay order, I collected his signature.
Telegraphic Transfer (T.T.):
Telegraphic Transfer is the most rapid and convenient but expensive method. There are different
modes of telegraphic transfer such as Fax, Mobile, Telephone Telex, and Telegram. If an
applicant wants to transfer money quickly to the pay in another city or district he /she may
request the banker to send it by TT.

Activities undertaken to open MSS:
I provided MTDR form to the prospective customer or applicant. The client fills up the form. But
many times I filled up the information of the client in the application form. In the form we
receive applicant sign and nomine sign. We attached passport size photo of applicant and
nominee. Then we submit the form to the authorize officer. If the application form properly fill
up and the required document is present the authorize officer give the account number and give
an entry on the computer and sign in the form. I wrote the account number top of the form and
customer ID number. Then I took a credit voucher and filled up the voucher. After paid money in
the cash section by the client he/she submit the voucher authorize officer. After that the authorize
officer give him a document of MSS but when the account holder receive the document, I
collected the sign of the client.

CHAPTER-04
CONSTRAINTS/CHALLENGES AND PROPOSED COURSE OF ACTION
FOR IMPROVEMENT
4.1. Identified/Observed in the Organization:
There are certain constraints regarding the studies that are summarized below:
• Time provided for conducting the study is an important constraint.
• Field practice varies with the standard practice that also created problem.
• The employees in National Bank Limited are so much busy in their responsible fields;
they could hardly provide little time to discuss with them.
• NBL has very poor IT department, while most of the other banks has strong IT
department.
• NBL does not have online facilities like other private bank.
4.2 Academic Preparation:
Internship Program brings a student closer to the real life situation & thereby helps to launch a
career with some prior experience. There are a few similarities between our academic
preparation and assigned tasks. We have learned so many things of accounting and finance but in
bank I worked in general banking section. Most of the time we practice manufacturing firm
financial statement. But bank financial statements are all most different.
30. CHAPTER-05
LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
5.1. Implications to Organization/Company:
In B.B.A. theoretical knowledge is supplemented by an effort to gain practical experience of the
real business world. Internship program helps a B.B.A. graduate in gaining practical knowledge
through working in an organization. A specific topic on National Bank Limited has been
assigned during the internship to ensure the use of student’s knowledge in the practical field of
work and to ensure accurate learning while working in an organization. I Learned from the
organization in my internship program are given below
Organizational Knowledge: From my internship program I have learned so many things about
NBL. For example, I have come to know about the Background of the Organization, Vision,
Mission, Strategic Priority, Commitments, Core Values, Management Level of NBL etc.
Rules & Regulations: I have learned different rules & regulations of banking activities,
employees, internee etc.
Banking Procedures: I have learned many banking procedures, facts such as Account opening,
closing, Profit taking, transferring, remittance etc.
Dealing with Clients: I faced the situation and learned how to deal with different types of
customers & situations.
Information Collection: In the processing of making the report I have learned collecting,
gathering, synchronizing several information. I have gathered information from different
employees like Manager, Branch Operation Manager.
Practical Use of Knowledge: What I have learned in the university, I have used them in my
internship program.
Function of Different Department: I gathered knowledge about the functions of different
departments of the branch while I was working in that department.
5.2. Implications to University’s Internship Program:
The graduation program that I have completed from the university has enhanced my theory based
knowledge on the different aspect of the organizational structure, behavior and function that will
31. enable me to work in the real world structural organization. The good initiative of our university
is that they have made the provision to have the practical exposure in working to the organization
through internship program.
5.3. Others:
The internship program that goes for three months has enabled me to prepare myself to work in
the structural organization under the disposition of the management. There I have gathered not
only the function are done in the organization but also the discipline and punctuation in the work
field in where I am going to enter in future.
CHAPTER-06
CONCLUDING STATEMENTS
6.1. Recapitulation / Summary:
Today the banking service is very competitive. So the real from the practical materialization, I
have reached a firm and concrete conclusion. I believe that my realization will be in harmony
with most of the banking thinkers. It is quite evident that to build up an effective and efficient
banking system to the highest desire level computerized transaction is must for a modern
banking.
National Bank Limited is a new generation Bank. It is committed to provide high quality
financial services or products to contribute to the growth of GDP of the country through
stimulating trade and commerce, accelerating the pace of industrialization, boosting up export,
creating employment opportunity for the educated youth, poverty alleviation, raising standard of
living of limited income group and overall sustainable socio-economic development of the
country. The is not so far when it will be in a position to overcome the existing constraints and it
may be expected that by establishing a network over the country and by increasing resources this
bank will be able to play a considerable role in the portfolio of development of financing in
Bangladesh.
Success in the banking business largely depends on effective management, excellent service,
latest technology, goal setting and overall plane. National Bank Limited has every quality to do
32. the business successfully. I think, within few years, National Bank Limited will achieve top class
banking business bank in our country.
6.2. Recommendations for Future Strategic Actions:
On the process of collecting, gathering, synchronizing and preparing this report and passing 2
months in National Bank, I have found so many good things and some problem as well as of
both Organization and University. There are certain constraints regarding the studies and my
recommendations are given below:
Time Allocation: Time provided for conducting the study is an important constraint. The time
should be lengthier so that we can do our assigned tasks properly.
Realistic Practices: Field practice varies with the standard practice that also created problem. To
resolve the difference between our academic preparation and real situation academic lessons
should be more realistic. The academic syllabus should include more realistic courses and
curriculum to prepare ourselves for banking sector. University may include more courses related
banking sector.
Employee Contribution: The employees in National Bank Limited are so much busy in their
responsible fields; they could hardly provide little time to discuss with internee. They should be
more attentive and give more time. The employees should be more attentive to the internees so
that we can learn properly.
IT Upgrade: NBL has very poor IT department, while most of the other banks has strong IT
department. If their IT department becomes more effective then we will be able to collect the
information easily.
