1.1 Industry Profile (Banking and Finance)

In general, Bank is a financial institution which deals with the monetary

transaction. The major function of the bank is to accept deposits and providing
loans. The bank attract deposits from various investors by providing certain rate
of interest, and investing the accumulated funds as loans to others who are in need
of fund by charging slightly higher rate of interest than they provide to the
depositors. Bank acts as an intermediary who bridges the gap between the savers
of fund and the users of fund. Basically, banks are those financial services
especially credit, saving, and payment services and perform the widest range of
financial functions of any business firm in the economy.

In the broader sense, a bank is a financial intermediary that performs one or more
of the following functions. Safeguards and transfer fund lend or facilitates
lending, guarantees creditworthiness and exchange money. Such Institutions as
commercial banks, central banks, saving banks, trust companies, and life
insurance and investment bankers provide these services.

Banks are the most important pillars of an economy or economic system. They
actually do not create money but they mobilize money which might be termed
as capitalization of money. The ultimate source that creates money cannot be
other than employment. Banks derive profit mostly from the differential between
the level of interest it pays for deposits and other sources of funds, and the level
of interest it charges in its lending activities. This difference in referred to as the
spread between the cost of funds and the loan interest rate.

As pillars economic system, there are entities as a Central Bank, Commercial

Banks, Development Banks and other Financial Institutions.

Definition of Bank

The definition of a bank varies from person to person and country to country.
Some of the definitions of the Bank are given below.

Bank is a financial institution, which provides financial services that may be in

the form of accepting deposits, advancing loan, providing necessary technical
advices, dealing over foreign currencies, remitting funds, etc. -Nepal Rastra
Bank Act

Any institution offering deposits subject to withdraw on demand and making

loans of commercial or business nature is a bank. -U.S.Law

Bank is an organization established for the purpose of exchange money deposit

lending money and participation in transactions. -Commercial Bank Act Nepal
(2031)

Evolution of Banking Industry

During the early period, private individuals mostly did the banking business. As
public enterprise, banking made its first appearance in Italy in 1157 when the
Bank of Venice was established. History shows the existence of a Monte in
Florence in 1336. The meaning of Monte is given in Italian Dictionary as a
standing bank.

As early, the banking business was carried out by the shopkeeper of Barcelona.
Meanwhile the local government restricted shopkeeper to operate this business
until they had given sufficient security. During 1401 a public bank was
established in Barcelona. It used to exchange money, receive deposits and
discount bills of exchange. When the word bank is used it is meant for
commercial bank. Actually word bank was originated from Germany though

2
some people think it to be of French and Italic origin .Before 1960 there was no
such word as banking. However, in the temple of "Babylon" the practices of
safeguarding and saving flourished as early as 2000 B.S. Chanakya in his
Arthashastra written in about 300 B.C., mentioning about the existence of the
powerful guilds of merchants bankers received deposits, advance, loans and
hundies (letter of transfer).

Banking, subsequently, the establishment of The bank of England in 1694 AD

as the first central bank contributed a great deal to the history of the banking.
Many countries quickly followed England and established a central bank of their
own. But as the central bank is endowed with the special rights and authorized, it
lacked a direct interaction with the mass. Consequently, soon after, every country
felt a pressing need of the commercial bank. (Saunders and million, 2007)

History apart, it was the Merchant banks that first evolved the system by trading
in commodities than money. They used to do their trading activities by remitting
the money from one place to another place. For this they used Hundies. In India
such merchant bankers were known as seths. The next stage in the growth of
banking was goldsmith. His business was to take special precautions against theft
of gold and jewelry. He started valuables he issued a receipt, which in turn
became like a cheque as a mode of exchange.

Origin of Bank in Nepal

The modern history of banking in Nepal does not have a long history. It is still in
its infancy stage. It was flourished after financial liberalization policy adopted in
1980s. While talking about the actual history, it is assumed that the history of coin
age began from around 5th century A.D. Around the 12th century, silver coinage

3
was in practice which made the scope of trade wider. At the end of 14th century,
the term Tanka Dhari meaning Money Dealer was used.

In 1877 AD, Prime Minister Ranoddip Singh introduced financial and economic
reforms. Tejarath Adda was established at that time to provide credit facilities
to the general public. Credit facility was given by Tejarath Adda on the basis of
collateral of gold and silver. Government employees would get credit at ease
because government would pay them less to deduct the credit amount. Chandra
Shamsher extended the services of Tejarath Adda outside valley. TejarathaAdda
extended credit facilities to more and more general public and did not accept
deposit from public. Due to this reason, TejarathaAdda finally faced a crisis.
People started borrowing from money lenders who charged a high interest rate
and other dues.

Although Kaushi Tosh Khana was established during the regime of Prithivi
Narayan Shah, Tejaratha Adda is regarded as the foundation of modern banking
in Nepal.

In 1937, Nepal Bank Limited (NBL) with the co-operation of Imperial Bank of
India came into existence. NBL played dual role of commercial bank as well as
central bank until 26th April, 1956, on which date, Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) was
established. NBL was a semi government bank. Rastriya Banijya Bank (RBB)
was established in 23rd January, 1966. Nepal Industrial Development Bank
(NIDC) was established as development bank in 1959 and Agricultural
Development Bank (ADB) was established in 1968. Since in 1984 ADB has also
been allowed to do commercial banking in selected urban areas with the aim to
mobilize resources domestically and channel funds to the agriculture and rural
sector.

4
Nepal adopted financial liberalization policy in 1984 by amending Commercial
Bank Act 1974. Liberalization was adopted to welcome private sector in banking
industry and to increase competition among them.

Present Scenario of Banking Industry in Nepal

Prior to liberalization, at the age of 47 (1937-1984) years of banking

industry, there were only four players in the industry. They were NBL,
RBB, NIDC, and ADB. Modern banking in Nepal started from the
establishment is Nepal bank limited. Under the supervision and regulation
of Nepal Rastra Bank, various banks and financial institutions have come
into existence. Nepal Rastra Bank's liberation of the Nepalese banking
industry leads to the establishment of joints venture banks in Nepal. The
status of the various financial institutions in Nepal is:

28 Commercial Banks (class A)

73 Development Banks (class B)

48 Financial companies (class C)

41 Micro Development Banks (class D)

The pace of financial liberalization actually started when the government allowed
the entry of commercial banks in joint venture with the foreign bank. As a reform
measure initiated in the year 1984, government allowed ADB branches to conduct
commercial banking business in the urban areas. A Credit Information Bureau
(CIB) was established in 1989 under the aegis of Nepal Bankers Association with
the objective of disseminating credit information among its member institutions.

5
Nepal Arab Bank Limited (NABIL) was the first joint venture bank established in
1984 A.D. joint ventured with United Arab Emirates Bank. Then two other bank,
Nepal Indosuez Bank Ltd. (Present: Nepal Investment Bank) with the Indosuez
Bank of France and Nepal Grindlays Bank Ltd. (Present: Standard Chartered
Bank Nepal Ltd.) with Grindlays Bank of London were established in 1986 and
1987 respectively. Himalayan Bank Ltd. joint ventured with Habib Bank of
Pakistan and SBI Bank Ltd. with State Bank of India were established in 1993
A.D. Nepal Bangladesh Bank Ltd. with IFIC.

International Finance Investment and Commercial) bank of Bangladesh was

established in 1933 A.D. Bank of Kathmandu joint venture with SIAM
Commercial Bank Public Co., Thailand was established in 1995 A.D. Nepal Bank
of Ceylon (Present: Credit and Commerce Bank) joint ventured with Ceylon Bank
of Sri-Lanka was established in 1966 A.D. Everest Bank Ltd. joint venture with

Customer Service Department

Customer Service department is a primary level department that generally deals

with customers directly and regularly. This department is basically directed
towards providing the surface level assistance to the customers i.e., to provide
general information about banking system, product and services provided by the
bank. The department is responsible for providing the basic materials like deposit
vouchers, cheque book, bank statement, balance certificate, cards.

Customer Service department is the face of bank. Customer Service department is

the place where customer initially interacts with the bank. customer service
expands client focus to include everything that happens within and around the
bank, from the way staff greet clients, to the atmosphere in the waiting room, to
the matter in which clients complains are handled.

The very first thing that the people seek in the organization is the prompt service
and the person at the customer service desk properly handles them. The people at
the customer service desk must be ready to sort out every problem at any moment.

Customer Service Department or CSD is oriented towards handling customer

queries and grievances. Remaining in this department Intern tried to grab the
overall general information about different departments and procedures of
activities related to them. Actually, it is the most appropriate department for intern
because all the customers at first come to CSD to get the information of anything
they need to do with bank. Staffs who stays in the CSD need to have the general
information about all the departments and their procedures. The major and the
interesting task in CSD is dealing with customers. Different faces with different
quires, interest and perception makes the counseling more interesting and
challenging too. The important task the intern learnt at this department can be
described as below:

43
Account closing process and requirements

It is another important task done under account operation. It is very rare that you
encounter an account closing request at the customer desk at NSBL. People close
their accounts because of many reasons but the major reason that I got to know
was the customer is going somewhere out of the country and the increased
number of competitors in the area and sometimes due to their personal problems.

Procedures to close an account are given below

Step1. The customer is asked the reasons for closing the account and tries to
convince not to close the account by explaining the benefit of the account and the
charges taken for closing the account.

specifying the reason.

department that the customer is not enjoying and sort of facility from the bank at
present.

 5. Problem Identified and Solved

During internship, the working environment was so friendly and familiar that the
staffs over there were always at there to help me to solve the problem. But some
of the problems aroused at that period are:

Language problems

Most of the customers in the NSBL were Indian. They were not so familiar with
the Nepali language and not able to fill detailed information in the form. In this
situation internee helped them to fill the detailed information in the form. And
also provide the detailed information about their account.

Convincing Customers

Sometimes the customers did not understand about NSBLs product and services
and it was difficult to convince them. There were even times when customers
behaved in a rude way. In spite of harsh behavior of the customers the intern
behaved properly and always tried to solve the situation.

Filing problem

While doing filing, the files were not properly kept in its place. So, it becomes
difficult for internee to find the related files when required. To solve this
problem, internee manages all the files as per the application of filing and
indexing and kept in proper place so that internee can provide at required time to
the customer or staff of the NSBL bank.

48
Savvy customers

Some customers were not sure about their decision i.e. they were in dilemma for
choosing the Products/Services. They tend to change their mind within very short
time. So it sometimes tends to be difficult to make their decision the final one.
Example: -Whether to take mobile service or not -Whether to take e-banking or
not. When the internee faced this type of situation, the customer was always
provided with the proper knowledge about various services of the bank which
helped then to take finally an appropriate decision.

Complaints regarding ATM service

There were lots of complaints regarding the ATM services at Gaushala branch.
The ATM machine would go blank when the customers did not use to insert the
card properly, the machine did not dispense any cash but the amount was
deducted from their account, the card stock and so on. And the customers used to
get very aggressive especially when they dont have cheque. In such conditions
the internee advice customer to fill required firm mentioning his/her problem and
submit to the concerned department for quick response.

Complaints regarding cheque printing

There were lots of complaints regarding cheque printing services at Gaushala

branch. Customer is not able to get the cheque whenever at required time. Cheque
printing machine at Gaushala branch also not work properly. In this situation
internee handle the situation in a proper manner by politely convincing to the
customer of NSBL. Giving them proper reasons for not being cheque print.

49
Dealing with Physically Disable customer:

In Gaushala branch, sometimes internee has to deal with physically disable

customer means dumb, deaf and illiterate at the same time. In such case internee
try to deals with such customer in sign language with the help of supervisor Mrs.
Usha Risal maam.

50
 6. SWOT Analysis and Challenges of NSBL

SWOT analysis is one of the major tools for analyzing organizational internal as
well as external environment. The internal environment provides strength and
weakness whereas the external environment provides opportunity and threats to
the organization. Most of the organization uses this tool to formulate plan,
policies, and strategies for achieving goals. The SWOT analysis of NSBL are:

53
 7. Recommendation

During the study, some issues were observed which needed some improvements
for better acceptance of the bank towards its customers. Nothing in the earth is
perfect; there is always pace for improvement so to maintain the service standard
and improve customer satisfaction, some recommendations are as follows:

As per the customer feedback, the processing time of documents was

found to be very time consuming. So, the bank should provide prompt
services with latest technology and computerized equipment. The
customers should be served without making them to wait.

Improvements in IT system need to be made from time to time for the

smooth operating of the banking activities which will benefit the growth
of the bank.

There are many commercial bank and financial institutions as competitor

to NSBL bank. Hence the bank should introduce new products and
services for the customers to attract them.

Few departments like remittance and marketing suffers from the

understaffing, thus the bank should hire skilled manpower to increase the
efficiency of the bank. Though the bank has installed new software for
its operation, however, almost all department suffers from the sudden
breakdown of the software due to which the customer need to wait for
longer time to get their work done. Thus, the bank needs to properly
manage its software and other computer programs.

The rotation of work is very much important to create reduce monotonous

in the employee. It helps to reduce work load and monotonous even in

54
 case of employee absent. In addition to this, employees will opportunity to
learn new things.

For the interns, there must be specification of jobs about what to do. Bank
should provide separate employee as a mentor to internee who will teach
them technical things.

55
