1.1 Introduction:
With a view to acquiring theoretical knowledge about the practical orientation and
experiences of dynamic business world, it is obligatory to undertake an extensive study to
prepare a term paper by the students of BBA program, IUBAT, who are desirous to the
successful completion of their BBA degree. As part of the program, I am highly proud to join
with Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited as Intern and selecting topic Mobile banking Service
of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited. I was placed in Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited
Head Office for a period of three months.

Limited and a study on an overall banking area. Though I worked there in several
departments, but I had to select an area of study in which I can make detailed research and
present my understanding in the report. This report is an attempt to map out a document,
which clearly explains the existing situation in a comprehensive way regarding the activities
at the IBBL. It is a nice opportunity for the graduates to have a taste of the real business
world before starting their career. Internship, in the modern business world, helps students
demonstrate skills and competence from their supervised experience and in addition, enables
them to demonstrate maturity and acceptable professional, personal, and interpersonal
behavior.
As the classroom discussion alone cannot make a student perfect in handling the real
business situation, therefore it is an opportunity for the students to get accustomed with the
real life situation through this program.

TOPIC PART
2.12 Islami Bank mCash (Mobile Banking):

Mobile Banking Service of IBBL.

Page 31

Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL) launched Mobile


Banking service Islami Bank mCash, under which any telecom
operator customers can get banking services anytime anywhere of
the country without going to any branches. IBBL is the third bank
that launched the mobile banking service in the country,
Islami Bank mCash offers different services that include free
opening of customer account quickly, deposition and withdrawal
of cash money, fund transfer from one account to another, sending
remittance from abroad, knowing account balance and ministatement, giving and receiving salary, mobile top-up (recharge),
payment of utility bill and fund transaction among IBBL accounts.
Despite making significant improvements in all the areas relating
to financial viability, profitability, innovation and competitiveness,
there are concerns that banks have not been able to include vast
segment of the population, especially the underprivileged sections
and rural people into the fold of basic banking services.
Countrys 24 per cent people have access to the banking service
while 60 per cent people use mobile phone. IBBL is working to
cover all the 160 million people of the country under banking
service; hence, the central bank took initiatives to spread
the Mobile Banking service. Islami Bank included to central
banks guidelines in the mobile banking business. IBBL wanted to
bring all the people under its banking services. Through mCash,
the bank can provide banking service easily to the people, who are
yet to receive the service.

On the other hand, rapid growth of mobile phone users and wider range of the coverage of
Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) has made their delivery channel an important tool of the
trade for extending banking services to the unbanked/banked population.
In order to ensure the access of unbanked people by taking advantage of countrywide mobile
Mobile Banking Service of IBBL.

Page 32

network coverage, Bangladesh Bank given the permission to start the mobile banking
operation for adoption of the unbanked people who have mobile connection.
Taking the growth of Mobile banking into consideration, it can be the perfect platform for
Bangladesh to take financial services to the country's largely unbanked population in an
efficient and low-cost manner.

Mobile banking seems to be the "in" thing right now. With mobile banking you can access
your bank accounts, make payments and transfer funds via your cell phone. With vast
mobile connectivity, mobile banking has become extremely successful.
Let's take a look at the merits of mobile banking. The first advantage is mobile banking has
an upper hand over internet banking because for the latter you will need to have an internet
connection and getting the connection in remotest places might not be possible. Secondly, it
saves a lot of time as you can pay your bills and make payments whenever you want.
Mobile banking is extremely user friendly. The interface is really simple and if you follow a
few simple instructions you will be able to make the transaction easily. Mobile banking is
cost effective and most banks offer this facility at lower costs compared to banking by self.

2.25 COMPARISON WITH bKash, DBBL ,Bank Asia Mcash


Before comparing with bKash and DBBL, it is better to read some details of these two.
2.25.1 BRAC Bank/ bKash: In 2011 BRAC Bank launched a 51% owned subsidiary called
bKash combined with an investment from the USA based Money in Motion. Bangladesh
Bank granted permission to BRAC Bank and bKash jointly to operate the MFS business. The
MFS guidelines specifically allow banks and their subsidiaries to carry out the MFS business.
BRAC Bank/bKash launched its operations in July 2011 and its initial MNO partner was
Robi. In January GrameenPhone (GP) opened a USSD channel to bKash opening the service
to GP subscribers. BRAC Bank/bKashs service is delivered over the Fundamo platform
initially developed in South Africa which has since been acquired by Visa. BRAC
Bank/bKash has agents in all districts of Bangladesh and its aspiration is to be a large scale
provider of MFS reaching tens of millions of Bangladeshis in a few years time. BRAC
Bank/bKash were cautious that the service would not be profitable for another45 years.
BRAC Bank/bKash has also received a $10 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation and technical assistance from Shore Bank International to support the launch of
its MFS services.

Features/Services of bKash Mobile Banking are:

2.25.2 Dutch Bangla Bank: DBBL launched its MFS service branded DBBL Mobile in
March 2011 using a technology platform from an international vendor called Sybase
365.Presently DBBL operates this as a separate platform from its core banking system, but
the two systems can be linked in the future. This platform uses various technologies
(SMS,IVR, USSD) to open accounts and process payments. The main service is a menu
driven service accessed through USSD channels provided under agreements with Airtel,
Banglalink and GP. DBBL also offers an SMS/IVR based service for Citycell subscribers.
DBBL makes its services available through a network of 3,181 agents provided by a
combination of Banglalink, Citycell, Airtel, and UISC8. But the largest number of agents
DBBL acquires itself through third party distributors. In total DBBL reports agents in 61
districts serve a total of 172 thousand accounts. DBBL aspires to acquire 1 million customers
during 2012 and 10 million during 2013. DutchBangla Bank sees the main challenges in
establishing stable commercial relationships to use the wireless networks of MNOs. It also
sees profitability and revenue in the early stages as a major challenge because the revenues
are not sufficient to provide the income necessary to agents to build the business. An
additional challenge is maintaining quality and covering the high cost of KYC with large
numbers of new accounts being opened.

Above two banks are the main competitor that IBBL mcash has to face in the market. So,to
get success IBBL has to beat these two big competitor. IBBL has to convince the customer to
use mcash rather than bKash and DBBL.

DECISION:
From the above table it is easy to take decision on the superiority of mobile banking services
among three (3) banks. But any bank has not superiority in all subjects. Therefore IBBL
mcash is in strong position in general banking customer base, capital base, security which are
positive sides of IBBL to become successful in the market. Also the cost of mobile banking
service is lower than bKash. But it has slow growth rate of customer and agents due to lack of
promotional activities, lack of contract with main mobile operator.

account, Internet-banking. But I have some recommendations for the bank according to my
observations. Those are given below:
The bank needs to open more ATM booths in different places as it has a huge number of
customers.
The bank can be more flexible to grant investments to the customers.
It can provide training on the internet to its employees.
It needs to build up a stronger backup system. As it is a financial institution, missing of data
caused by backup failure may turn into a huge loss.
It can employ more female employees in the branch.
The bank can make a clear picture on the difference between interest and profit.
They can use an understandable Islamic terms.
They can upgrade their services more.

Survey Research on Mobile Banking of IBBL (Dilkusa,Motijill,Heasd Office ).

4.1 Problem Statement (Background of the study):


This report is based on the Mobile Banking Service of Islamic Bank Bangladesh Limited. The
main purpose of the report becomes very clear from the topic of the report. Islami Bank
Bangladesh Limited (IBBL) launched Mobile Banking service Islami Bank mCash, under
which any telecom operator customers can get banking services anytime anywhere in
Bangladesh. The report discusses about the different Mobile banking services & facilities and
compares them with mCashs competitors. The most important part of any of this is that if the

customers are satisfied. What do the customers think about the mobile banking and mCash.
Mobile banking has revolutionized banking in Bangladesh. It is faster than before, it is more
flexible and less costly, but again it is very important to find out what the customers think
about that because, at the end of the day, everything is for the customers. Success always
comes from a banks happy customers. So what I have tried to find out is clearly what do the
customers think or feel about the service of mobile banking and Mcash on the next research
part.

proved that mobile banking has increased the saving habits of people.
5. Mobile Banking of IBBL is a very effective way of improving customer service. In this

5.2 Recommendation:
Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited is on third position on Mobile Banking Services in our
country. First position is Dutch Bangla bank and second position is Brac Bank Limited. All
the services are almost same but the customers are different from one another but now a days,
Mobile banking service of IBBL is performing well compared to its competitors and
increasing the customers of mcash. Although the IBBL mcash is providing many facilities,
they need to increase some extra facilities for more popularity.

On the basis of the field observations and analysis of the gathering information from the
relevant studies the flowing recommendations may be proposed for the further improvement
of Mobile Banking of IBBL.
1. From the findings, maximum people have agreed with this hypothesis. It is found out
that, there is no major problem with the mcash services. So it can be said that, mobile
banking has made banking easier than before though I believe it hasnt been much
popular because of the lack of good advertising or rather I would say serious
advertising.
2. From the findings, maximum people have agreed with this hypothesis. From the
survey it is clear that maximum people are happy with mobile banking more than
traditional banking because of the flexibility mobile banking has to offer. So it is
pretty clear that not only IBBL but all the banks have reached their goals which is
they achieved the trust of their customers on mobile banking system and now I think
it is time for the next step or goal to look forward to.
3. From the findings on this hypothesis, it is clear that mobile banking is strongly
accepted by the people. Because now people can make transactions and get all
information about their accounts within a second by using mcash. There is no chance
of getting hacked in Mcash services which may occur in the internet banking. Though,
the IBBL authority should always keep their eyes and ears open to protect their clients
from any potential threat.
4. From the findings on this hypothesis, it is also clear that now people are saving more
than before. It is simply because of the fact that mobile banking has reached to more
and more new people. Though it has not reached in some of the remote areas of our
country. So I think authority should give proper publicity and advertisement to reach
to those remote areas.
5. Mobile banking is a perfect way to improve customer service. Most of the middle
class & lower class people use mobile at the present time. They need appropriate
service by the mobile operators. Authority can create more customer care and also
create more customer care employees by training system.

Page 76

6. From the findings, clients are comfortable doing the financial transactions because it
is safe and secured So the authority should keep an eye out on it so that it stays that
way.
7. From the findings, maximum respondent have agreed more than disagreed that they
are using mobile banking to pay the utility bills. People now do not need to go to the
banks and wait on the long serials to pay their bills, they can do it anywhere by using
phones. The authority should encourage their clients on using mcash and advertise
more on it.

The bank also needs to provide more facilities to the customer to increase its popularity.
They can use the popularity to use on their customers to use mcash services. Islami bank
ATM booths should be increased more on the other hand.

5.3 Conclusion:
For service providers, Mobile banking offers the next surest way to achieve growth.
Countries like Bangladesh where mobile penetration is nearing saturation; mobile banking is
helping service increase revenue from the now static subscriber base. For the fact is that one
day, in most of our country emerging markets, more people will use mobile Banking service
than use traditional banking service. Businesses that are based on mobile financial serviced
will thus be a natural fit for these economies. What is more, there is no need to wait for the
next generation mobile networks; these businesses can be built by using today's technology.
But to capture this significant opportunity, financial firms and telecommunications companies
will have to partnership with one another and, possibly, with merchants and retail chains
as well. Mobile banking is suspended to become the big killer mobile application arena.
However, banks are going with mobile the first time needs to step the path cautiously. The
biggest decision that banks need to make is the channel that they will support their services
on. Mobile banking through an SMS based service would require the lowest amount of effort,
in terms of cost and time, but will not be able to support the full breath of transaction-based
Mobile Banking Service of IBBL.

Page 77

services. However, in markets like India where a bulk of the mobile population users' phones
can only support SMS based services, this might be the only option left. On the other hand a
market heavily segmented by the type and complexity of mobile phone usage might be good
place to roll of WAP based mobile applications. According to the Gartner Group, mobile
banking services will have to support a minimum of 50 different device profiles in the near
future.
Islami Bank Bangladesh limited is pioneer of Mobile Banking in Bangladesh and it has a lot
of possibility to reach customers door as well as banking in the handoff customers.

Remarks:

Thank you for your valuable time

Sharia Banking or Islamic Finance overarching principle is that all forms of interest are
forbidden. The Islamic financial model works on the basis of risk sharing. The customer and
the bank share the risk of any investment on agreed terms, and divide any profits between
them. The main categories within Islamic finance are: Ijara, Ijara-wa-iqtina, Mudaraba,
Murabaha and Musharaka.
