2.2 # 1ctivit#:
I started my 5ourney in the bank from the very beginning part this profession. I had
opportunity to gain experience working over on different departments of ercantile !ank
"imited. I was
engaged on several tasks on respective departments such as( -ront desk, accounts department,
foreign exchange department, and cash department.
I started my work from the main and important section of the bank. -irst I have worked in the
front desk. In this desk the main work is to open the different type of accounts. #he other
important work is to provide new che$ue to the customers. #he customers can get the
signature card, solvency certificate, day start and day end che$ue book list, account transfer,
account close, entry of inward mail and outward mail and pay slip issue.
#here are a different desk in where I have learned how to issue the demand draft, pay order
and transfer by telephone. !ut now(a =days the telephone transfer is not used most of the
time. #he other important thing is to understand the code of the different type of account
opening form and the rate of interest that is provided to the customers. In the front desk I
have a chance to deal with customers. So I think it is not very to keep the mind peace all the
time. !ut I also get to know how to behave with the customer properly. !ecause the bank
will earn the maximum benefit from this section.
#4
I have an opportunity to work in the clearing section of the general banking division. In this
section I have received the che$ue of the mercantile bank and other banks of our country. #he
customers who want to pay this che$ue to the other customers.
#hen I also work in the cash department in where I 5ust get to know after taking the money from
the customer how to keep them in a proper way. &lso after closing the cash I have to count the
cash and after keeping certain amount, send the rest of the amount to the head office.
#he another most important work is to count the voucher everyday and match with the
supplementary. It has to do daily basis and doing clean cash. #his work is under the accounts
department. I also maintain the transfer vouchers.
"astly I worked very few days in the S2 section. In this department, I have learnt that how to
processing the loan, identification of problems regarding S2 loan, types of loan and in which
sector the bank allocate the loans.

3.4 Beneral .an/in":
It is the most important side for a bank. !ank is nothing but a middleman between lenders
9surplus sector: and borrowers 9deficit sector:. #o provide loan, bank needs a huge amount of
money from the lenders. ,eneral !anking is the side where bank offers different options to
the clients to deposit 9save: and remit their money. #o invite the clients, bank offers different
options in front to their clients. ost of these options are very much similar between the
banks, but the customer services and facilities may not be the same.

1. Account $pening' Isually a person needs to open an account with the bank to take
services from it. Without opening an account, one can get a few services from the
bank. So we can say that banking begins with the opening of an account with a bank.
,enerally, there are three types of accounts in !">
a: 3urrent Deposit &ccount 93D &ccount:
b: Savings !ank &ccount 9S! &ccount:
c: -ixed Deposit &ccount

a: Current ,eposit Account' 3urrent account is purely a demand deposit account
because the bankers are bound to pay the amount to the account holder on demand at any
time. It is a running and active account which may be operated upon any number of times
during a working day. #here is no restriction to the number and the amount of withdrawals
from a current account.
b) Savings Bank Account' #his is an account for a student, an employee, a widow
and an organi)ation that is not working for profit. It pays interest to the client and
the service charge of this account is less than the 3D account.
a! #i-ed ,eposit Account' -ixed amount of money from the customers for a fixed
period of time with interest under the term plan time to time. +ne can open -ixed

3. Remittance: 1emittance refers to sending of money that is the process of sending
money from one place to another place called remittance. !anks remit funds one place
to another through the network of their branches. #he main instrument for remittance of
funds in drafts, mail transfer, telephone transfer and traveler4s che$ues.
*eman! *raft C**': & bank draft is an unconditional order issued by one branch of a
bank on its branch to pay a certain sum of money to the named person or order of
demand.
Aele"raphic Aransfer CAA': #elegraphic or #2"2P transfer means fund6money
transfer from one branch to another branch not in same area. Sometimes the remitter of
the funds re$uires the money to be payee immediately. In that case the banker as
re$uested by him to remit the funds telegraphically. #he bank passes #.# by a secret
code, which input by the ,! in(charge 0 branch manager.AL
%a#ment Or!er C%DO': /ay order gives the payee the right to claim payment from the
issuing bank. It can be enchased from issuing bank only. Inlike che$ue, there is no
possibility of dishonoring pay order because before issuing pay order, bank takes out
the money of the pay order in advance. /ay order cannot or crossed and it is not a
negotiable instrument.

#he &# service is ma5or weakness of !".
!" is always trustworthy for their customers.
$.2 Recommen!ations
&lthough the #rust !ank "td is performing very well in our country, but as per my
observation and understanding, I think they need a little modification in their procedures to
be the number one organi)ation. Such as(
-ixed deposit rate has to be higher than others banks. So that the customers can
maintain for long time relationship.
8:
#here is few branches in Sylhet division. So many customer are deprive to get service
of !". So the number of branches needs to be more as soon as possible.
!" should provide some loan for new entrepreneur.
!" should emphasi)e on promotional activities for attracting their customers about
their services and also for expanding their business. #he promotional activities is
advertising, personal selling, public relation etc.
!" should offer versatile product that are varieties of accounts to attract every class
of customers and obviously to compete with other existing private commercial banks.
!" should establish new6update financial products to attract potential depositors.
&# booth is essential for !". So !" should be setup more &# both in
oulviba)ar as early as possible.
$.3 2onclusion:
Since the banking service especially the private !anks are doing an outstanding business, so
it is clear that the modern people are more concerned about securing their valuable assets and
get high($uality and timely services. -or this reason lot of new commercial bank has been
established in last few years and these banks have made this banking sector very competitive.
!" !ank is the most promising private commercial bank in !angladesh. 2very day !"
