Background of Banking
The Jews in Jerusalem introduced a kind of banking in the form of money lending before the
birth of Christ. The word Bank was probably derived from the word bench as during ancient
time Jews used to do money -lending business sitting on long benches.
First modern banking was introduced in 1668 in Stockholm as Savings Pis Bank which opened
up a new era of banking activities throughout the European Mainland.
In the South Asian region, early banking system was introduced by the Afghan traders popularly
known as Kabuliwallas. Muslim businessmen from Kabul, Afghanistan came to India and started
money lending business in exchange of interest sometime in 1312 A.D. They were known as
Kabuliwallas.
Banks have influenced economies and politics for centuries. Historically, the primary purpose of
a bank was to provide loans to trading companies. Banks provided funds to allow businesses to
purchase inventory, and collected those funds back with interest when the goods were sold. For
centuries, the banking industry only dealt with businesses, not consumers. Banking services have
expanded to include services directed at individuals, and risks in these much smaller transactions
are pooled.
The name bank derives from the Italian word banco desk/bench, used during the Renaissance
by Florentines bankers, who used to make their transactions above a desk covered by a green
tablecloth.[2] However, there are traces of banking activity even in ancient times.In fact, the word
traces its origins back to the Ancient Roman Empire, where moneylenders would set up their
stalls in the middle of enclosed courtyards called macella on a long bench called a bancu, from
which the words banco and bank are derived. As a moneychanger, the merchant at the bancu did
not so much invest money as merely convert the foreign currency into the only legal tender in
Romethat of the Imperial Mint.

risk assessment is generally known as asset/liability management or ALM. The traditional
purpose of ALM is to control the size of the banks net interest income. The different features
that are related to ALM are discussed bellow.

On the other hand, private does very less CSR activities. But private bank should increase their
CSR activities for public interest; and by doing this, they can enhance its customer base.
Political Direction
Public administration works under political direction and scrutiny. They put into effect the
policies made by elected members of the legislature (law-makers) and potential executive, while
private administration is not subject to political direction. All public bank is influenced by
political direction, but private bank are not.
Taking Bribe:
Bribe is one of the highlighted problems in public sector. In public bank, bribery happens most of
the time because consumers have taken this assumption for granted that bribing is the only
20 | P a g e
effective way to get the work done. Bribery happens here because of red-tapism which topic was
mentioned earlier. The work is done very slowly in public sector. On the other hand, there is no
option in private bank.
Technology:
The IT sector of public bank is much backdated. There are usages of very old personal computers
which sometimes do not work properly. Even some of the employees do not have computers to
work with. On the other hand, private bank has a strong IT (Information technology) sector
compare to public bank.
Workplace environment:
Work place environment of private bank is below average. No air-condition facility is there. Old
furnitures as well as the necessary items are missing which are required to do jobs. Limited
space makes the environment even clumsier and messy. The workplace environment in private
bank is very friendly. The arena is properly air conditioned proper ventilation facility is there.
Every employee has their own desk to work properly.

5.0 Conclusion
Bangladesh is a third world countrywide an under developing bank management system
particularly in terms of services and customer care provided by the government run banks.
Recently the private banks are trying to imitate the develop management system in banking
sector. The private Banks have been found to be investing generally in the projects with quick returns
resulting higher recovery rate of commercial loans provided by the banks. This leads the banks not to take
up the projects with long gestation period, mode of financing. The short term financing under Murabaha
and Bai Muajjal assures the required rate of return, as the mark up of profit is pre assigned according to
the bankers and the users of the loans. Moreover, the Banks cover their loan risk by taking the collateral
and other forms of securities such as FDR Account with the Bank. Thus, the better performance recovery
rate of commercial loans in Banks is due to its lending portfolio and its different modes of financing. last
of all it can be calculated that ,although private bank management system is much develop then the
public bank management system, both are not quite satisfactory.
5.1
Recommendation
After completion the study we have gathered some practical knowledge about the management
practices in Bank .Now we would like to provide some recommendations, which might be
helpful to upgrade the management practice of Banking sector is given as under:
1. First of all the main important thing for an organization is the Recruitment, which exists
in theses bank, is not well designed. Most of the bank usually recruited people in
tradition way. In this case what they can do is that they can go for campus recruitment,
hire institute for helping them recruiting people. Because the institutes are well equipped
than the bank. They can also go for online recruitment, which is a modern method.
2.
From the point of Training it can be said that their training course is well but not that
much practical. They provide training to their employees is their training institute or send
them to BIBM which is one of the reputed institution for the bankers to be to be trained
up. In this sort of training they usually get theoretical idea. In this case they can also
arrange on the job training which will enables the employees to learn more effectively.
3. Another thing is that after getting training the employee usually not posted it their
properly area. For example an employee got training in Credit but he has been posted
Foreign Exchange Department, in this case what happened is that after couple of time he
forgot the content of the training. So it should be kept in mind that after training they
should be properly posted. If a person get training in credit management or risk
management he should be posed in the relative field.
4. Another problem is in their performance appraisal system is quite back dated. Usually an
employee is eligible to get promotion every after 03 years. But which is not true as a
22 | P a g e
result employees got frustrated could not concentrate in their work Besides there is not
option for performance basis promotion. In this case it has to me taken into consideration
that promotion is motivation, which is useful for employees. As a result it will also useful
to reduce employee turnover.
5. The banks do not have got compensation for its employees which is low comparatively
very low in the organization, which should be increased, especially in the public
commercial bank.
6. There should be also option for reward system which is not present in most of the bank.
