8.4 ThreatSome foreign banks provides some special featuresLow Investors/ Clients for this schemeFlowing the same rate for this scheme from the last 3 years
9.FindingsIt is a lengthy process.To get the loan Client have to open an account in the bank Bank provides average range of loan amount.In yearly they get low Investors/ Clients for this schemeBank is flowing the same rate for this scheme from the last 3 years.The Banks in Bangladesh has faces a lot of illegal pressure from Political persons, Directors and Management of the Bank for approval of loan. In that cases UCBL also are bound to approve the loan without any assessment and rationality for them.The risk managers have often insufficient time for credit risk management. Huge workload and hurries for loan approval prevent them from through assessment. So, it is very troublesome to manage the risk in a prudent manner for the risk managers.A third party (CPV- Contract Person Verification) verifies the account holders or grantors all documents as the relevant required document are perfect or not perfect. In CPV there is no one for bank and customers. Banks have to depend on CPV verification to approval the loan.
10. Recommendations
The process of sanctioning an auto-loan is very time consuming. Management should give more effort to reduce the time of processing a loan.The branch manager should have some discretionary power to sanction the Auto loan.They should renew their Scheme rate by proper authorization of Bangladesh bank.sThey should create awareness among the new investors for this Scheme by providing some advertisement in newspaper, magazine or in other media.The Auto Loan Policy of the Bank is very complicated. Bank need to make it easy and understandable. So that all credit officer can understand the instruction and follow this instruction correctly at the time of risk management.The management must be careful to sanctioning that auto-loan which is recommended by powerful bodies. Because these loans sometimes become more risky.To reduce the auto-loan risk the original documents of the client must be verified thoroughly. If manager sanction the auto-loan without the verifying original documents, that may involves more risk.To reduce the default risk the repayment capacity of loan of the auto-loan client should be properly investigated. Otherwise, here have the chance to default.Bank has a few numbers of tools and techniques such as DBR (Debt-Burden Ratio) to assessment the auto-loan risk. Bank need to introduce new and advance risk assessment tools and techniques.
