1.1
Introduction
This report has a certain purpose to focus on the operations of Remittance of Janata Bank
Limited. Without any doubt Remittance catches the flash as it has great importance in the
balance of trade in economy. Banks plays a vital role in this discipline.
In the age of globalization, the importance of banking sector is beyond description. Banking
sector is going ahead with the improvement and invention of new services and offerings to
gather and retain more customers. Besides other banking activities Remittance has become
an essential part of a Banks daily activity to perform. In our daily life we usually use the tools
like DD, TT, MT etc. in order to sent money from one place to another. Again, we know that
foreign remittance has a great impact on our national economy. Internship in Janata Bank Ltd
(Rajanigandha Super Market Branch Dhaka) has brought me the opportunity to know
details about various tools of remittance. At the vary beginning of the internee period, I was
too much interested about Loan sanctioning and recovery system of a bank like Janata Bank
Ltd but in a few days I recognized that my branch deals with remittance more then any
other banking activities including loans. Working with remittance system in daily Banking
day turns my attention from loans to remittance which creates the background of the study.
Janata Bank Limited

1.2
Origin of the Report
Although total B.B.A. program combines an excellent blend of theoretical and classroom
knowledge but aside this internship program facilitates a student to bring light on their
theoretical knowledge to apply this in practical ground.
This report is based on an internship program at Janata Bank Limited to gather practical
knowledge about banking activities. This is followed by practical experiences in the
Rajanigandha Super Market Branch Dhakaof Janata Bank Limited. Each intern must carry
out a specific project, in order to report on specific activity of the organization. Consequently
a report based on the projects is to be submitted to both the authority of Janata Bank Ltd and
the University. My topic for this internship report is Remittance Activities:Study on
Janata Bank Ltd. Janata Bank Ltd deals with almost every activities of Banking but
Rajanigandha Super Market Branch Dhaka has a special involvement with remittance. So it is
the main reason behind choosing this topic.

1.5
Limitations of the Study:
There were some problems while conducting the study. A whole hearted effort was applied to
conduct the study and to bring a reliable and fruitful result. In spite of this, there exist some
limitations, which acted as a barrier to conduct the study. The limitations were:
Time limitation: It was one of the main constraints that affected covering all aspects of the
study.Very short time frame- the report had to be conducted in a short duration (3 months).
Lack of Secondary Information: The Remittance data of Janata Bank Ltd. is not much
available over the net. Secondary source of information was not sufficient for the completion
of the report.
Limitation of the Scope: Much confidential information was not disclosed by respective
personnel of the department
In many case the relevant authorities are not helpful to provide information.
The organization maintains strict confidentiality about their financial and other
information. They are afraid of any type of information leakage to their
competitors. So there was always difficulty to have appropriate information from
them.
The main difficulty of the study was insufficiency of current information relevant
to the study.
Consolidated data related to the study were not given due to time shortage.
All required information was not available in any specific branch of the bank and
there was also limited opportunity to visit more than one branch.
Duration of the study was too short to find out the exact calculation from the
employee.
Scope of my study is so wide that analytical and comprehensive study is not
possible.
Lack of sufficient books, papers and journals etc.
Web site of the Organization isnt up to date to gather valuable information.
1.6
Analysis techniques
Both qualitative and quantitative methods were applied for preparing this report. The data
were analyzed and presented by Microsoft excel and shows percentage, graphical
presentation and different types of charts. Best effort was given to analyze the numerical
findings.
Janata Bank Limited

1.7
Required data
I have mainly focused on numerical data in preparing the report. Also I have used theoretical
portion as the demand of the report. Analyzing Remittance management of a bank, both
theoretical and technical knowledge are necessary for execution. Then everything with
accuracy, I have analyzed and made conclusion.
1.8
Methodology of the Study
While conducting the study, sources were explored for primary information and data. But
hardly any updated data could be found. In the absence of updated information or data
dependence on secondary data has been inevitable. However, whenever possible primary data

some documents & statements printed by the Janata Bank Ltd. Janata Bank Ltd. also helped
me in collecting data providing books and Banks annual report.

History of Banking in Bangladesh

Janata Bank Limited

2.1 History of Banking

The first banks were the merchants of the ancient world that made loans to farmers and
traders that carried goods between cities. The first record of such activity dates back to
around 2000 BC in Assyria and Babylonia. Later, in ancient Greece and during the Roman
Empire, lenders who were based in temples made loans but also added two important
innovations: accepting deposits and changing money. During this period, there is similar
evidence of the independent development of lending of money in ancient China and
separately in ancient India.
The origin of banking, in the modem sense, is traced to Italy. The word Bank also seems to
have originated from Italy. The word Bank is supposed to have been derived from the
German word Banck, meaning a mound or heap (like a small hill), from which Italians
adopted Banco. Others believe that the word bank has been derived from Bancus or banc
or Banque which means a bench at which the money changers or mediaeval bankers used to
charge one kind of money into another and transact their banking business. The early banking
was, however, closely associates with the business of money-changing.
Bangladesh inherited its banking structure from the British regime and had 49 banks and
other financial institutions before the Partition of India in 1947. Bengal Bank, the first
British-Patronized modern bank established in India in 1784, had opened its two branches in
1873 in Sirajganj and Chittagong of Bangladesh region. Thereafter, another branch of Bengal
Bank was opened in Chandpur in 1900. A number of other branches of Bengal Bank were
opened in this region and some branches had been closed in Course of time. There were six
other branches of Bengal Bank in operation in the territory of Bangladesh until the Partition
of British-India in 1947 and these branches were at Chittagong (1906), Mymensing (1922),
Rangpur (1923), Chandpur (1924), and Narayanganj (1926).
Following the emergence of Pakistan in 1947, Stat Bank of Pakistan, the Central Bank of the
country, came into being in July 1948. Later, the National bank of Pakistan, a strong
commercial bank was set up in 1949. In all, 36 scheduled commercial banks were in
operation in the whole Pakistan until 1971. Pakistanis owned most of these banks and only
three of them namely, National Bank of Pakistan, Habib Bank Ltd. and the Australasia Bank
Ltd, had one branch of each in East Pakistan in 1949.During 1950-58, there other Pakistaniowned banks, Premier Bank Ltd., Bank of Bhowalpur Ltd. and Muslim Commercial Bank,
had Opened their branch in East Pakistan. Four Pakistan-owned banks, the United Bank Ltd.,
Union Bank Ltd.(Note: the United Bank Limited and Union Bank Limited were renamed as
Janata Bank.), Standard Bank Ltd. and the commerce Bank Ltd. Conducted banking business
in the Province during 1959-1965.But all of them Had their headquarters in west Pakistan.
East Pakistan had only two banks Owned by local business groups white headquarters in
Dhaka. These were the Eastern Mercantile Bank Ltd. (Presently Pubali Bank Ltd.) and
Eastern Banking Corporation Ltd. (Presently Uttara Bank Ltd.) established in 1959 and 1965
respectively.
In the beginning of 1971, there were 1130 branches of 12 banks in operation in East Pakistan.
The foundation of independent banking system in Bangladesh was laid through the
establishment of the Bangladesh Bank in 1972 by the Presidential Order No. 127of 1972
(which took effect on 16th December, 1971). Through the Order, the eastern branch of the
13
Janata Bank Limited

former State Bank of Pakistan at Dhaka was renamed as the Bangladesh Bank as a fullfledged office of the central bank of Bangladesh and the entire undertaking of the State Bank
of Pakistan in, and in relation to Bangladesh has been delivered to the Bank.
Bangladesh Bank has been entrusted whit all of the traditional central banking functions
including the sole responsibilities of issuing currency, Keeping the reserves, formulating and
managing the monetary and credit policy, regulating the banking system, stabilizing domestic
and external monetary value, preserving the par value of Bangladesh Taka, fostering
economic growth and development and the development of the countrys market.
Janata Bank Limited is the 2nd largest state owned commercial bank in Bangladesh.
Immediately after the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971, the erstwhile United Bank Limited
and Union Bank Limited were renamed as Janata Bank.
The rate of growth and development of banking sector in the country was extremely slow
until 1983 when the government allowed to establish private banks and started
denationalization process: initially, the Uttara Bank in the same year and thereafter, the
Pubali Bank, and the Rupali Bank in 1986.
Modern banking system plays a vital role for a nations economic development. Over the last
few years the banking world has been undergoing a lot of changes due to deregulation,
technological innovations, globalization etc. These changes in the banking system also
brought revolutionary changes in a countrys economy. Present world is changing rapidly to
face the challenge of competitive free market economy. It is well recognized that there is an
urgent need for better, qualified management and better-trained staff in the dynamic global
financial market. Bangladesh is no exceptions of this trend. Banking Sector in Bangladesh is
facing challenges from different angles though its prospect is bright in the future.
2.2 History of Private Banks in Bangladesh

There were no domestic private commercial banks in Bangladesh until 1982; When the ArabBangladesh Bank Ltd. commenced private commercial banking in the country. Five more
commercial banks came up in 1983 and initiated a moderate growth in banking financial
institutions. Despite slow growth in number of individual banks, there had been a relatively
higher growth of branches of nationalized commercial banks (NCBs) during 1973-83. There
number had increased from 1512 in 1973-74 to4603 in 1982-83.
Financial sector reforms to strengthen the regulatory and supervisory framework for banks
made headway in 2006 although at a slower than expected pace. Overall health of the
banking system showed improvement since 2002 as the gross Non-performing Loans (NPL)
declined from 28 percent to 14 percent while net NPL (less Provision) reduced to 8 percent
from 21 percent. This led significant improvement in the profitability ratios. Although the
Private Commercial Banks (PCB) NPL ratio registered a record low of 6 percent, the four
Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCB) position are still weak and showed very high NPL at
14
Janata Bank Limited

25 percent. The NCBs have large capital shortfalls with a risk-weighted capital asset ratio of
just 0.5 percent (June 2006) as against the required 9 percent. For the PCBs risk-weighted
capital asset ratio stood at 10 percent. Bangladesh Bank issued a good number of prudential
guidelines during the year 2006 and the first quarter of 2007 which among others relate to:
Rationalization of prudential norms for loan classification and provisioning,
Policy for rescheduling of loans,
Designing and enforcing an "integrated credit risk grading manual",
Credit rating of the banks, and
Revisions to the make-up of Tier-2 capital.
2.3 Current Structure of Banks in Bangladesh

The commercial banking system dominates Bangladesh's financial sector. Bangladesh Bank
is the Central Bank of Bangladesh and the chief regulatory authority in the sector. The
banking system is composed of four state-owned commercial banks, five specialized
development banks, thirty private commercial Banks and nine foreign commercial banks. The
Nobel-prize winning Grameen Bank is a specialized micro-finance institution, which
revolutionized the concept of micro-credit and contributed greatly towards poverty reduction
and the empowerment of women in Bangladesh.
2.3.1 Central Bank
Bangladesh Bank
Pursuant to Bangladesh Bank Order, 1972 the Government of Bangladesh reorganized the
Dhaka branch of the State Bank of Pakistan as the central bank of the country, and named it
Bangladesh Bank with retrospective effect from 16 December 1971.
2.3.2 State-owned Commercial Banks
The banking system of Bangladesh is dominated by the 4 Nationalized Commercial Banks In
which 3 are totally controlled by government and 1 (Rupali Bank) bank is controlled by both
government and private sector. , which together controlled more than 54% of deposits and

2.4 Bangladesh Economy 2010-11

Bangladesh is an advantageous position in relation to world average growth and the growth
of emerging and developing economies. Bangladesh maintained a steady growth in 2010
despite global financial turmoil, but given the increasing demand, the growing power and
energy shortages and poor infrastructure remained major impediments to the countrys
industrial growth. Economic growth in Bangladesh has so far been only insensibly affected
by the ongoing global slowdown, attaining 6.7 percent teal GDP growth in FY 11 following
6.0 percent growth of FY 10. (Appendix- )

sector slowed down from 6.5 percent in FY 09 to 6.0 percent in FY 10, Service sector
consistently experienced a moderately high performance, contributing to its increasing share
in GDP. During the year 2009-10 contribution of service sector in GDP is 49.9 percent. Gross
investment as percentage of GDP increase, recording 25.0% of GDP in FY 10 compared to
24.37% of GDP in FY 09.

Janata Bank Limited

4.1 Introduction of the Issue

Now a day a modern banker must have to perform a number of ancillary services, besides
performing the two essential functions of accepting deposits and investing its funds.
Remittance of funds can be considered as one of the most important ancillary service
provided by a Bank. With a network of the branches spread over the entire country banks are
eminently suitable institutions for the remittance of funds from one place to another. Bank
remittance is safe, swift, inexpensive, and simple. Bank takes the risk of theft or loss of
customers money in exchange of a very little commission. Again, the reserve of foreign
remittance plays a great role in national economy. With various types of accounts
maintaining in international branches and coordinating international banks these foreign
currencies are being carried sending by non-resident Bangladeshis.
4.2 Justification of the Report

Due to market economy a huge competition exists among the nationalized, foreign and
private commercial banks and therefore the expectation of the customers growing rapidly
concerning the banking operation & how customer service can be more attractive. Bank
Remittance- the way of sending customers money from one place to another, has becomes the
most important part of customer service in recent years. On the other hand, these ancillary
services are generating a great income to the Banks. Under the above circumstances, it has
become necessary for Janata Bank Ltd. to focus its' attention towards the improvement of
various customer services and increase the efficiency to attract and also retain the customers.
That is why it is quite justified to make an in-depth study about its operation and evaluate
service provided by this bank and scope for its improvement. Since marketing is the area of
my study, Bank Remittance seems preferred to me rather then any other banking activities to
study. Thus I think, this study will vehemently help me to go forward and improve my career
path.
4.3 Bank Remittance

One of the most important aspects of the Commercial Banks is rending services to its
customers. Among different services render by a Commercial Banks to its customer
remittance facilities are very well known and popular to the customers. The word
"Remittance" means sending of money from one place to another branch within the country.
There are two types of Remittance: Inward & Outward. The Commercial Banks Remittance
facilities enable its customers to avoid risk arising out of theft or loss in carrying cash money
from one place to another or making payment to some one in another place. Banks take the
risk and ensure payment to the beneficiary in exchange of a little bit benefit known as
Exchange or Commission.
32
Janata Bank Limited

Different parties in money transfer process:

Normally four types of parties are related to money transfer process:1. Customer [who send money]
2. Issuing Branch [This branch take money from customer and order to pay money to
other bank.]
3. Paying Branch [This branch pay money to the beneficiary]
4. Payee or Beneficiary [Who get money]

4.6 Demand Draft (D.D.)

Demand Draft is an instruction payable on demand. It is negotiable instrument issued by the
branch Bank containing an order to another branch of the same Bank to pay a certain sum of
money to a certain person or order on demand. This instrument can be purchased by a
customer from a particular Bank branch for himself or for beneficiary and can handed over to
the purchaser for delivery to the beneficiary. The payee or beneficiary will claim the proceeds
of the instrument by producing the same to the concerned paying branch. Demand Draft may
be paid in cash to the payee on proper identification or the proceeds may be credited to his
account. Banks issue drafts for a nominal commission. The commission depends upon the

4.13 Foreign Remittances Activates in JBL

On the era of globalization and free economy, business has changed its shape and has spread
all over world. Now a day, banking business has not been limited only within the commercial
banking; it spread with different types of money and finance related business. Investment
banking, merchant banking as a brokerage house, syndicated business, correspondent
banking, foreign trade, currency dealing etc. There is no national or geographic limitation for
the business. As the Bangladeshi citizens/ nationals are migrating all over the world, created
scope/ opportunity for money transfer business as a global phenomenon. In the post 9/11 era,
national and international regulators are more vigilant against Anti Money Laundering
(AML) and Anti Terrorist Financing, resulting appreciation for fund transfer through Bank
and registered Financial Institutions.
Previously, the educated and well-off class of the remitters (Expatriate Bangladeshis) used to
send money through banking as well as illegal channels, but the uneducated and so called
under-privileged class of the remitters generally does not have access to banking channel and
used to send money through illegal channel. Due to high service charges, the underprivileged
do not maintain account with schedule banks and cannot use the money transfer facility of the
banks. This unique characteristic of the remitters creates the scope of operation for Financial
Intermediates basically Exchange House Operations.
Importance: Demand for inward remittance has immense importance, because remittance, the
portion of international migrant workers earnings sent back from the country of employment
to the country of origin, plays a central/crucial role in the economy of our country. At the
same time with micro economic development process, as remittance often provide a
significant source of foreign currency, increase national income, finance import and
contribute to the balance of payment improvement. These wage earners' remittance helps
building external sector viabilities of our country. Inward remittance is relatively less volatile
source of foreign exchange. Expatriate Bangladeshi workers remittance contributes
immensely to the economy with strong positive impact on growth, employment and Balance
of payment.
Currently, inward remittance is higher than the combined flow of foreign aid disbursement
and foreign direct investment. Though increasing, the current growth rate of remittance is still
much lower than the total flow of migrants from Bangladesh.
Remittance Systems of Janata Bank Limited: To speed up distribution of remittance send by
various foreign banks and exchange companies Speedy Foreign Remittance Payment System
has been introduced in phases since May 2009. Currently, 860 branches of our bank are onlined with Speedy Foreign Remittance Payment System, through which remittances from
Foreign Banks/Exchange Companies are being paid/credited to beneficiaries account on the
same day. Till date, 53 Foreign Banks/Exchange Companies sending remittance to Janata

4.18 Outward Foreign Remittance

When remittance is sending from Bangladesh to abroad like London then it is called Outward
Foreign Remittance. But Outward Foreign Remittance is highly restricted by the Bangladesh
Government. Only some especial branch of all Banks can send money from Bangladesh to
abroad under Bangladesh Banks rules& regulation.
In Janata Bank Ltd. following branches are only responsible and involved with outward
foreign remittance activities.
a) Local Office Dhaka.
b) Foreign Exchange Branch, Bitul-Mukaram Dhaka.
c) JanataBovon Corporate Dhaka.
The Foreign Remittance department of Janata Bank Ltd. is equipped with a number of
foreign remittance facilities. Following are the types of outward foreign remittance facilities
offered by Janata Bank Ltd. 1. Issuance of Foreign Demand Draft (F.D.D)
2. Issuance of travelers Cheques (T.C.)
3. Issuance of foreign T.T (Telegraphic Transfer)
4. Disbursement of the cash of incoming F.T.T.
But Janata Bank Ltd. Rajanigandha Super Market Branch is not involved with these types of
activities.

Finding & Recommendation

Janata Bank Limited

5.1 SWOT Analysis of JBL

At the corporate level, the strategic Management process of an organization involves the
environmental. This environmental scanning is done both on the internal environment:
Strength and weaknesses and external environment: opportunities and threats of the
organization.
In internal environment strengths are those factor that influence the organization to do better
are weaknesses are those factors that lack the organization form its optimum performance. On
the other hand external environment at analysis shows the opportunities or scope of
development and external coming there at for the business.
After doing my report on the service of the JBL. I have found both better performance in
some sectors of the bank and also weak services as well that occur lacking to do better. There
are also some eternal factors which height has business.
A particular SWOT analysis discloses the following issues for an organization that an
organization achieved over the time of its operation by analyzing its both internal and
external environment: The SWOT analysis of Janata Bank Ltd. is shown below:
S- Strengths
W-Weakness
O-Opportunities
T-Threats

To decide whether to continue current strategy or not.
To determine possible course of actions.
Development of functional strategy.
Strengths:
Janata Bank is a modern public Bank. It has more capacity to adopt new technology when the
environment will be changed. This JBL Rajanigondha Super Market Branch, Dhaka as well
as Janata Bank Ltd. has various types of strength elements. Such kind of strength are
representing below:
Second Largest bank of the country.
Wide network of 861 Branches across the countries.
Holds a sound reputation in the banking industries.

77
Janata Bank Limited

Sound and large capital base.

Sustainable growth.
Support employees commitment to short and long term goals
Employees are helped to productive.
There is a helpful climate to help employees grows and accomplish in the interests of
the organization the things of which they are capable.
The manager also helps their employees to solve their problems and accomplish their
work.
They treat their employees as a essential part of the organization and the
psychological result is a feeling of participation and the task involvement in the
organization
Weakness:
A weakness is a limitation or deficiency in resources, Skills and capabilities that seriously
impedes effective performance.
When I study in JBL Rajanigondha Super Market Branch, Dhaka some problem surface to
me those internal problems mention in the below:
Discouraging small entrepreneurs
JBL provides clean Import Loan to most of its solvent clients. But they usually do not
want to finance small entrepreneurs whose financial standing is not clean to them.
Absence of strong marketing activities
JBL currently don't have any strong marketing activities through mass media e.g.
Television. TV ads play vital role in awareness building. JBL has no such TV ad
campaign. Although they do a lot of CSR activities compared to other banks.
Not enough innovative products
In order to be more competitive in the market, JBL should come up with more new
attractive and innovative products. This is one of the weaknesses that JBL is currently
passing through but plans to get rid of by 2010.
Lack of Proper Motivation
The salary at JBL is very decent, but it lacks other sorts of motivation. Incentives such
as bonuses are given for acquiring a particular figure, but all in all these are the only
motivational factors.
Outdated Software and Hardware at JBL Rajanigondha Super Market Branch.
Some of the PCs in this branch have very outdated hardware which is very slow and
affects the customers and hence the performance of the bank as a whole. The software
themselves are pretty old Flexcube is from 2003, Microsoft Office XP is used. All
of these prevent smooth operations.
78
Janata Bank Limited

Opportunity:
In my study on JBL Rajanigondha Super Market Branch, Dhaka some opportunity surface to
me. Those opportunities of Janata Bank are given below:
Distinct operating procedures
Repayment capacity as assessed by JBL of individual client helps to decide how much one
can borrow. As the whole lending process is based on a client's repayment capacity, the
recovery rate of JBL is close to 100%. This provides JBL financial stability & gears up JBL
to be remaining in the business for the long run.
Country wide network
The ultimate goal of JBL is to expand its operations to whole Bangladesh. Nurturing this type
of vision & mission & to act as required, will not only increase JBL's profitability but also
will secure its existence in the log run.
Experienced Managers
One of the key opportunities for JBL is its efficient managers. JBL has employed experienced
managers to facilitate its operation. These managers have already triggered the business for
JBL as being new in the market.
Huge Population
Bangladesh is a developing country to satisfy the needs of the huge population, a large
amount of investment is required. On the other hand, building EPZ areas and some Govt.
policies easing foreign investment in our country made it attractive to the foreigners to invest
in our country. So, JBL has a large opportunity here.
BASEL II
Implementation of BASEL II would definitely provide benefits. But it requires a lot of
monitoring. For this JBL has formed BIU (BASELL II Implementation Unit). BASEL II is
basically a framework set forth by Bangladesh Bank to reduce credit risk, operational risk
and market risk. This would definitely aid JBL if it is stringently followed
Threats:
Rapid advance in computers and management information system.

Lack of E-Banking facilities.
Top management of giant.
Complex organizations cannot be authoritarian in the traditional sense and be
effective.
From the above discuss we can say that Janata Bank Limited is one of the largest privatized
Bank of the country. Overall Performance of Janata Bank Limited is satisfactory. But to face
challenges of Globalization, Janata Bank Ltd. should to restructure its operation to improve
as a first generation bank.

5.2 Findings
During my practical study at JBL, Rajanigondha Super Market Branch, Dhaka I have got
some problems that hamper in making element to the banks operations and the way of profit
making of the branch as well.
I however took the help of following techniques to do this
Personal observation and
Interview
Thus the following problems are identified1) Process of money transfer:
Sending money through Janata Bank Ltd. is a complex process.
2) Lack of E-Banking facilities:
Most of the Branches of Janata Bank Ltd. has very outdated internet modem which is
very slow. The maximum speed of these modems is 3Kb/s and sometime connection
or network is disconnected. All of these prevent smooth operations of E-Banking as
well as remittance activities.
3) Absence of modern technologies:
Less involvement of technology and lot of entries of a single transaction in various
register books make tasks time-consuming. Some of the PCs in this branch have very
outdated hardware which is very slow and affects the customers and hence the
performance of the bank as a whole. The software themselves are pretty old Flex
cube is from 2003, Microsoft Office XP is used. All of these prevent smooth
operations.
4) Lack of knowledge of employees and staffs about modern technology:
Most of the employees in Janata Bank Ltd. Rajanigondha Super Market Branch,
Dhaka has not enough knowledge about modern technology such as- process of
check and print SRC report from head office, Western Union Network activities etc.
5) Lack of integrity and shortage:
Lack of integrity and shortage of employees are the main concerns in achieving the
target profit from Remittance.
6) Lack of Concentrating on the channeling of remittances:
However, Janata Bank Ltd. plays a great role in sending money to various rural areas
through its countrywide network but concentration on the channeling of remittances
activities is not enough.
7) Position in International Banking: A strong position in international Banking and a
great link with various foreign exchange companies makes the process of collecting
the foreign remittance easier to this bank.
8) Contribution of JBL in Foreign Remittance earning:
The achievement of JBL in attracting foreign remittance is increased year by year
except 2009 and 2010 due to economic crises. But on the contrary, the percentage of
80
Janata Bank Limited

foreign remittance through JBL is decreased year by year as compared to countrys

foreign remittance.
9) Absence of strong marketing activities
JBL currently don't have any strong marketing activities about remittance facilities
through mass media e.g. Television. TV ads play vital role in awareness building.
JBL has no such TV ad campaign. Although they do a lot of CSR activities compared
to other banks.
10) Absence of strong Customer relationship :
Proper customer relationship activities are not enough in Janata Bank Ltd. as
compared to other privet commercial banks.
11) Not enough innovative products :
In order to be more competitive in the market, JBL should come up with more new
attractive and innovative products about remittance.
5.3 Recommendations
To make solve the abovementioned problems the following recommendations can be
made so that the problems can be solved
1. Process of money transfer:
Remittance collection from the Bank should be a much easier and hassle free job for
the beneficiaries. Process flow should be smoother so that the waiting time for them is
decreased.
2. E-Banking facilities:
Janata Bank Ltd. should be used high speed internet modem for smooth operations of
E-Banking as well as remittance activities.
3. Adaptation of new technologies:
4. All of the PCs in this branch should be changed with update hardware and software
which is very fast.
5. Training to the employees:
6. A very strong and systematic training program creates the bankers efficient; the
disciplined environment makes them active.
7. Removing integrity and shortage:
The Gap between Head office and branches will have to be removed in order to
improve the situation. Reinforcement should be involved with the given target.
81
Janata Bank Limited

8. Concentrating on the channeling of remittances

Janata Bank Ltd. is now concentrating on the channeling of remittances. This should
be continued and enhanced. The vast network of JBL enables them to reach the
remote rural areas. Utilizing the micro finance systems and keeping poverty
alleviation in mind, the process can be taken further.
9. Position in International Banking
The highest volume of remittances is sent from Saudi Arabia. Effort should be thus
given to ensure the utilization of the remittance coming from that region and hence
can be customized according to the regions specialty or characteristic traits of the
remitters.
10. Contribution of JBL in Foreign Remittance earning:
To increase the percentage of foreign remittance earning JBL should be provided the
best E-Banking facility than other bank. For this reason JBL should try to establish
On-line banking system. Because most of the Inward foreign remittance is enter in
Bangladesh via On-line.
11. Strong marketing activities:
Better marketing policy should be applied in order to attain and retain more customers
in this competitive market.
12. Customer relationship:
Janata Bank is still conducting remittance business because of price sensitive market,
but without a proper customer relation it would be difficult to survive in the long run.
13. Creating innovative products:
Janata Bank Ltd. can create special accounts categorizing to the different
classifications of the beneficiaries, requirements according to the family size, and
utilization arena.
14. Others:
Janata Bank Ltd. can also take following steps Reduction of transaction time
Reduction of transaction costs (by cutting commission fees)
Making remittances tax-free
Simplifying formalities
Regular monitoring to ensure service
Maintaining where possible the same exchange rate as the informal market
82
Janata Bank Limited

Conclusion
In modern Banking, Remittance of Funds is one of the most important ancillary services
performed by every type of Banks. A nationalized commercial bank like Janata Bank Ltd can
perform it with better than other banks because of a wider network of branches and lower
service charge. Again, a strong position in international Banking and a great link with various
foreign exchange companies makes the process of collecting the foreign remittance easier to
this bank. Besides these advantages, a lot of lacking like- shortage of manpower, Gap
between officers of Head office & Branches, etc becomes a matter of concern. Remittancethe subject of my study is a very small part of Janata Bank Ltd.s. Activity, but it generates a
portion of profit. So, by removing or at least reducing the bank should try to achieve the
targeted amount fixed by the top management.
