ABSTRACT
This report is an outcome of the internship program under the BBA program requirement in the Prime Bank Limited. During my internship in the organization I have gathered different information which was necessary for preparing this report.

In chapter 1, I have introduced the topic, along with the objective of the report, which was mainly understand how to gain real life exposure in the banking sector and to get a clear idea about Borrower’s Perception. I have also mentioned the method followed to gather the information and the sources of data.

Chapter 3 starts with findings in different situations about Borrower’s Perception on Prime Bank Limited. In this chapter all the survey questions are graphically presented.
Chapter 4 draws summary of this report. I have included my observation, some loop wholes and Prime Bank and the effects of these. Then I have tried to draw out some solution to those problems and some recommendation.
Finally chapter 5 has the tables and graphs and other information in the appendix that might be needed for the better understanding of the report.
A borrower is a person or institution who has been approved to receive a loan and is then obligated to repay it and any additional fees according to the loan terms. Borrower’s perception is so much important for any bank because if they know the perception level of their borrowers then they can do all the loan able works easily. That’s why in this report I have tried to explain and highlight this issue precisely.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Statement of the Research Problem:Statement of the Research Problem:
In general sense we mean “Bank” as a financial institution that deals with money. There are
different types of banks like Central bank, Commercial bank, Savings bank, Investment
bank, Merchant bank, Co-operative bank etc. But when we use the term bank it generally
means ‘commercial bank’ that collects the deposit from surplus unit of the society and then
lends the deposits to the deficit units.
Now-a day’s banking sector is modernizing and expanding its hand in different financial
events every day. At the same time the banking process is becoming faster, easier and is
becoming wider. In order to survive in the competitive field of the banking sector all
organizations are looking for better service opportunities to provide their fellow clients. So
it has become essential for every person to have some idea on the bank and banking
procedure.
Internship program has been included to BBA curriculum for producing talent, up-to-date
and smart, efficient executives. Internship means gaining supervised experience. Internship
program offers an opportunity to know the environment of a particular organization.
Theoretical knowledge does not make a person perfect. To implement the academic
knowledge, practical knowledge related to it is important. A perfect coordination between
theory and practice is important in the context of modern business world. In order to
resolve the dichotomy between theory and practice, the different university arranged
Internship Program as a partial completion of BBA program. This program is necessary for
every student to complete his or her academic degree. Internship program brings student
closer to the business theory and practical and thereby help them to substantiate their
knowledge so that they can prepare themselves to start a successful career.
As a participant in this, I was place under Prime Bank Limited, Sat Masjid Road Branch,
Dhanmondi, which is well reputed for trade and commerce in Dhaka city. In preparing the
report, I have incorporated the suggestion from correspondents to mention here.
This report is mainly emphasis on Borrower’s Perception on in Prime Bank Limited -
comparative study with leading private Banks. Financial services are a difficult business,
subject to many pressures. The regulatory environment, risk and capital management,
reporting and compliance are all major issues demanding the attention of board and
executive alike. On top of this there is still a business to run, with customers to be won or
retained, costs to be managed and shareholder value to be created, all in an increasingly
7 | P a g e
dynamic and international environment, where failure on any of these counts can swiftly
lead to the attention of predators, both domestic and international.
Important to the success of a financial service organization in this complex environment is
the key relationship between the revenue generating client base and the cost of the
infrastructure required to service, satisfy and delight them. The cost-income ratio remains
one of the most closely watched and targeted numbers in any modern bank.
On the revenue side growth in customer numbers, customer retention, share of wallet, and
cross sale ratio are all key metrics. While on the cost side the variables are around staff
numbers, branch numbers, the range and variety of channels to the customer and the
location of transaction processing, as off shoring develops as a means to both manage cost
and, in some cases, improve customer service.
What then, are some of the most important elements of Borrower’s Perception in the
current market and what has been going right and wrong for the banks?
This report is an important part of every student course curriculum and the gaining of his
practical training. It ensures the practical knowledge on a specific matter, which is assigned
to the students by their respective teachers or otherwise known as supervisor.
The Title of my report is “Borrower’s Perception on Prime Bank Limited” This report is
assigned by the HR department of Prime Bank Limited and approved by the Supervisor of
Finance Department, Faculty of USB, and University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh.

INTRODUCTIO
NCHAPTER 02: COMPANY
PROFILE
2.1Background of Prime Bank Limited:
During the booming years of the banking industry of Bangladesh, a group of highly skilled
local entrepreneurs came up with an idea to float a commercial bank with a different
outlook. The idea was to build a banking organization with excellence, competence and
consistent delivery of reliable service with superior customer satisfaction. The outcome of
this thinking was the Prime Bank Limited, commenced its business on April 17, 1995.
Since the beginning the bank is being managed by a team of professionals, with dedication
and sincerity. Their experience and hard work has taken the bank in the leading position.
The bank is constantly focused towards the understanding and predicting customer’s needs
and meeting them. It is giving a tough competition to other banks in case of performance
and customer satisfactions.
The bank offers almost all sorts of commercial banking services within the framework of
Banking Company Act, and the rules and regulations lay down by the Bangladesh Bank.
These services include corporate Banking, Retail Banking, and Consumer Banking etc.
Within this short time the bank has already claimed a position among the top ranked banks
in our country through ensuring high profile management, experienced, dedicated and
skilled employees, and a whole lot of hard works. It has adopted the CAMEL rating,
BASEL II and all other international requirements. It is always responding to technological
enhancements and developments.
The introduction of ATM in March 2008 and Internet Banking in 2009 ushered a new era
and prime Bank is now wed poised towards the expansion of alternative delivery across
Bangladesh. Prime Bank is one of the most renowned names among the well performing
banks in the banking industry and it is continuously working hard to hold its position in the
market as the leader through providing top class services.
2.2Principle Activities of the Bank:
The principle activities of the bank are banking and related businesses. These activities
include: taking deposit, cash withdrawal, extending credit, organizing syndicate deals,
retail, small and medium enterprises, trade financing and project financing, lease and hire
purchase etc.
The followings can be stated principle activities of the bank:
12 | P a g e
1. Extending credit: Providing credit to the clients of the bank is one of the major
activities of the bank. Loans and credits are available under different heads, like:
commercial loan, loan syndication, retail loan, project finance etc.
2. Import & Export business: The bank is also efficient in import and export business.
The-growth rate of import business is 5% and growth in export business is 11%. The main
items of this business are: leather, readymade garments, shrimp, machineries, materials etc.
3. Retail Banking: A bank like Prime Bank Limited that goes with superior brand
equity and a unique brand tag line “a bank with a difference”, putting supreme emphasis on
retail business has an untapped potential to generate value. This potential of retail banking
can be traced while thinking about the Lines of business in an innovative way. An effort by
retail banking to explore the untapped may help induce those, who wait to save money to
buy their desired life-style at a future time, to come and avail the retail banking services.
Retail banking can play a very significant role in this respect by expanding the principles of
opportunity cost, marginal or incremental and time value of money against the utility of the
desired house-holds. A consumer, buying a retail product through a retail focused branch
may have a small business by himself which may grow big over time and become a good
corporate customer or such a consumer who is happy with a bank’s services, may be
working in a corporate entity, may influence to take financial services from the bank. Thus
retail banking can enter deep into the heart of the consumers which is the essential in
building long term customer relationship.
4. Credit Card: Very stiff competition prevails in credit card market. Many players have
entered the market and competition is growing. Prime Bank Limited started credit card
operation in 1999 by introducing Master Card and is now a principal member of both
worldwide accepted plastic money network i.e. MasterCard and VISA thus positioned itself
with strong footing within the industry. It extends various services to the credit card
customers’ viz, issuance of supplementary card, free insurance coverage, longer interest
free period, etc
5. SME Financing: Despite growing focus about small and medium enterprises in
Bangladesh and consequent policy efforts in these directions, limited access to financing
13 | P a g e
still forms the crux of the problem of this sector. The overriding vision of PBL is to offer
congenial lending products and services so that SMEs can aspire to opportunities of growth
and wealth creation.
6. Financing women entrepreneurs under SME: Another notable idea in SME financing
is the development of women entrepreneurs. Bangladesh Bank has earmarked 10 percent of
SME related fund for women entrepreneurs. The bank has designed a separate product
“Anchor” for women entrepreneurs. In the new framework of SME, PBL is giving top
priority in developing and harnessing women entrepreneurs.
7. Islamic Banking: Prime Bank started its operations in the year 1995 as ‘a bank with a
difference’, blending its conventional banking system with that of Islamic Banking
operations based on Shari’ah principles. Five of the branches of the bank provide Islamic
Banking operations to serve the increasing demand of customers for Islamic Banking
products and services. Objectives of launching Islamic Banking Operations in Prime Bank
are as follows:
To cater to the needs of customers who want to have services in Islamic Modes;
To introduce the partnership concept of business operations;
To arrange for ensuring justice in distribution system use of funds;
To do other acts ancillary to the establishment of exploitation free society.
8. Merchant Banking: Merchant Banking and Investment Division (MB1D) passed
another very successful year since it started its journey four years ago. During 2009, the
country’s capital market witnessed many significant events ranging from breaking many
records to policy changes. And as our market matured, we were able to achieve significant
profit growth and also contribute to the development of the market. In 2009, as per the
board’s advice, MBID concentrated on providing unparallel portfolio management services
to our customers. The number of customers went beyond 2,000 with a portfolio size of
around 1k. 11,000 million and the bank contributed to an average of 10 percent to 12
percent of daily Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) turnover. During the year through providing
portfolio management services and by realizing the gain from bank’s own investment
MBID made an operating profit of Tk. 920.30 million. We also successfully launched the
operation of MBID Mirpur Branch in August 2009 as Uttara and Sylhet Branch waits to
14 | P a g e
start operation very soon.
9. Deposits: The deposits balance of PBL reached the level of Tk.106.96 billion during
2009 from Tk. 88.02 billion of previous years. The growth rate is 21.51 percent. This was
possible due to superior customer service delivery at the branch level, expansion of branch
network to rural areas where foreign remittance flow is significant as well as liability
campaign by retail liability team for mobilization of no cost and low cost deposits.
Source: Annual Report 2009 of Prime Bank Limited
Expansion of branches at rural areas has provided the lower income group an access to
modern banking system and prompt receipt of remittances. PBL is offering 18 types of

after a number of period depending on installment size .Higher the installment size lower
will be the maturity period.

only the installment amounts is larger and at maturity depositor will get Tk.10 lac.

children’s education by paying a certain amount of monthly installment and Lump sum

(Demand Deposit) which allows the owner of the bank accounts to write checks to third
parties.
Savings account: Savings Account is an interest bearing checkable deposit
(Negotiable order of withdrawal) which allows the owner of the bank accounts to write
checks to third parties.
16 | P a g e
10. Customer Care: PBL’s firm commitment to excellent customer service delivery has
resulted to remarkable progress in all areas of operation during 2009. PBL adopted various
payment and transaction products and services for smooth payments and transactions for
the customers. These include both traditional and modern products. The bank is now fully
online. Traditional products are used since inceptions and still dominate the lion share of
the payment and transaction of the country as the NCBs are still lagging behind modern
technology application. As such the traditional products remained main product for semi
urban and rural areas where PBL operates. With the liberalization of banking and financial
industry and increasing customer knowledge and sophistication competitive pricing of
products is no longer sufficient in capturing large market share. New product development,
know your customer program and redesign the existing products were the strategies
adopted by the bank to serve the customers differently from the competitors. The
continuous improvement in delivery of products and services, reduction of turnaround time
for loan processing, on-line deposits and remittance payment has made the key
differentiation for winning the customer satisfaction. The bank introduced ATM facilities
for the customers in 2008. There are also arrangements with another bank for sharing their
ATM booths which increased the coverage of the Bank over 600 ATMs located at different
areas of the country. The bank has introduced internet banking in 2009 and has planned to
add Debit card, SMS Banking and Kiosk to its products and services baskets.
11. Research & Development for customer Satisfaction: In this competitive business
environment, Research & Development (R&D) activities are thought to enrich the bank
with new and improved products, process and business avenues. In that pursuit, PBL’s
R&D activities are focusing on three core areas: marketing, operation and business policies.
R&D has conducted number of market surveys and studies on business related issues which
have helped the management to take decisions more appropriately and provide services to
customers more efficiently. Some of the initiatives which have assisted the Management are
highlighted below:

12. Offshore Banking: PBL is catering the banking requirement of non-resident
customers through 2 Offshore Banking Units (OBU) located in Dhaka Export Processing
Zone and Chittagong Export Processing Zone. Offshore banking acts as a unique solution
for Banks across the globe to carry out international banking business involving Non
Resident foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities taking the advantages of low
or nonexistent taxes/ levies and higher return on investment. Prime Bank has one more
OBU at Adamjee EPZ which is yet to start its Offshore Banking operation. In 2009, Off-
shore banking has made a cumulative profit of USD 0.56 million as against cumulative
profit of USD 0.14 million in 2008.

2.4 Network of the Bank:
The first branch opened by Prime Bank is the Head Office in Motijheel, Dhaka. It was
opened at the time the bank started its business in April 17, 1995. From then Prime Bank
has continued its journey and emerged its network by opening branches in major districts
of our country. The total number of branches now is 97. Following chart shown (All the

2.5 Ratio Analysis of Prime Bank Limited and their competitor’s
AB Bank:
Cost of Fund: Cost of fund refers to how much cost is incurred to borrow fund i.e. capital.
According to the ratios based on different years, it is evident that borrowing money is
costlier to AB Bank, as opposed to Prime Bank. Thus I have found the remarkable
competitive advantage of Prime Bank Limited over its competitor considering the cost of
funds.
22 | P a g e
Return on Investment (ROI): ROI refers to the amount of gain from investment. The
2010 figures show that AB bank is well ahead in terms of ROI compared to Prime
Bank. The ROI of Prime Bank on 2010 was 13.02% whereas ROI of AB Bank was 32.72%,
this shows AB Bank is maintaining a better position than Prime Bank in terms of ROI. But
it is to be noted that a huge portion of profit gained by AB Bank through Merchant
Banking, which is based on volatile capital market.
23 | P a g e
Return on Asset (ROA): ROA depicts the efficiency of a company in managing fixed
assets. The AB Bank has a higher ROA as opposed to Prime Bank; therefore it proves
that AB Bank manages its assets with distinctive efficiency compared to Prime Bank.
24 | P a g e
Net Profit Margin: The net profit margin of Prime bank is higher than that of AB Bank
which means, Prime Bank is efficient in managing cost against AB bank, when it comes to
comparison. The overall profit position of Prime Bank Limited is so far better than that of
AB Bank.
25 | P a g e
Capital Adequacy Ratio: Bank maintains a minimum Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of at
least 9 percent of Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) with core capital (Tier-1) not less than 5
percent of RWA. Capital requirements are assessed for credit, market and operational risks.
The Bank’s capital adequacy ratio is periodically assessed and reviewed by the ALCO and
reported to Head Office. Prime Bank has consolidated capital adequacy ratio of 11.69%,
while AB Bank has CAR 9.91% which is lower than that of Prime Bank Limited. Thus,
Prime Bank is maintaining better capital structure than that of AB Bank.
26 | P a g e
2.6 SWOT Analysis of Prime Bank Limited:
Every organization is composed of some internal strengths and weaknesses and also has

INTRODUCTIO
NCHAPTER 04: SUMMARY
AND RECOMMENDATION
4.1 Summary of the Study:
Prime Bank is an emerging bank. The bank has only completed a decade of banking
services. At the initial stage of business, every institution has to go through the difficult
path of survival. To achieve the confidence of the borrowers, the bank must execute some
improvements in its marketing and operational areas Prime Bank Ltd should try to win
borrowers faith by providing them efficient and dependable services, credit facility and
updating with user friendly modern technologies. The bank should redesign all sorts of
banking procedures to be more user-friendly, attractive and impressive.
Prime Bank limited started with a vision to be the most efficient financial intermediary in
the country and it believes that the day is not far off when it will reach its desired goal. It
looks forward to a new horizon with a distinctive mission to become a highly competitive
modern and transparent institution comparable to any of its kind at home and abroad.
Finally it can be said that, Borrower’s Perception should be more for emerging markets, up
warding growth of national income and overall improvement in the standard of living.
4.2 Recommendations:
I had the practical exposure in Prime Bank Ltd. Sat Masjid Road, Dhanmondi Branch for
just three months, with my little experience in the bank in comparison with vast and
complex banking system, it is very difficult for me to recommend. I have observed some
shortcomings regarding operational and other aspects of their banking. On the basis of my
close observation I would like to propose the following recommendations-
Improve office atmosphere to give customer friendly feeling.
Provide intimate attention to your customers’ needs.
Customers’ convenience will be of Top priority.
Fast Service Policy should be introduced. So that everybody get faster service.
The bank should try to arrange more training programs for their officials.
Quality training will help the official to enrich them with more recent
knowledge of banking and improve their skill.

Over burden of work and ill defined assignment unable the employee to
discharge their duties in cool manner. It is also creates a hazardous situation in
the work process. So all the employees should be assigned with proper and
specific assignment.
Time consumed in servicing customers is minimized.
Develop communication skills.
Help new entrepreneurs to formulate business plans.
