Back ground of the study
At the very arena of globalization and technological innovation, banking business has
become more competitive. To cope up with this, bankers should have huge theoretical
knowledge and professional skill as well as technical basis. As a BBA student, I felt that
banking is an excellent area to gather some practical knowledge. With a view to develop
skilled professional in banking area, BRAC University has undertaken the internship-
training program for its BBA students. As a partial and essential requirement of the BBA
degree, on authority’s instruction I have selected the BRAC Bank Limited, one of the
prominent banking institutions of Bangladesh to acquire some practical experience in
banking, especially in the correspondent banking program. It would not be out of place to
mention here that during the course of the program I had to perform several duties.
This report is an internship report prepared as a partial fulfillment of requirement for the
completion of the BBA (Bachelors in Business Administration) from BRAC Business
School Department of BRAC University. The primary goal of the internship was to
provide an ‘on the job’ exposure to the student and an opportunity for translation of
theoretical conceptions in real life situation. We, the students, were placed in enterprises,
organizations, research institutions as well as development projects. In this connection,
after the completions of the BBA program, I was assigned to the BRAC Bank Ltd. for
Practical orientation. I chose the topic “Customer Care Service of BRAC Bank Limited”.
for my internship report under the supervision of Mr. Zakir Hossain Sharkar, Senior
Lecturer, BRAC Business School, BRAC University. This report has been prepared on
my practical experiences from 17th January to 16th April 2010 in BRAC Bank Limited,
Momin Road Branch.
Objective of the Study
General Objective
The general objaective of preparing this report is to fulfill the requirement of project
work as well as completion the BBA Program through gaining the experience and view
the application of theoretical knowledge in the real life. Also find out the Operational
Process of the Bank and it’s over all Performance.

Scope of Report
The report covers overall customer care activities and procedures of the BRAC Bank
Limited. This report especially emphasizes on Customer Service Quality.
Methodology
To make the report more meaningful and presentable, two sources of data and information
were used widely. Both primary and secondary data sources were used to prepare this
report. The nature of this report is descriptive with some survey or using sampling
method.
Data Collection
Both the primary and secondary forms of data are used to make the report more rich and
informative.
The details of these sources are gives below:
Primary Sources
Most of the information was acquired by discussing with the officers working in
the Momin Branch of BRAC Bank Ltd.
Observation and work experience with different divisional in-charges and
suggestions of many executives of the bank.
Secondary Sources
Limitations
Finally I want to talk about my limitations that I had to face during the completion of the
report. On the way of preparing of this report, I have faced following problems that may
be termed as the limitation of the study.
Only three months are not enough to understand the overall operations of a
commercial bank.
Bank’s policy of not disclosing some sensitive data and information for
obvious reason posed an obstacle to the practical orientation that could be
very much useful.
Non-availability of data and information that are more recent on different
activities of BBL was a great difficulty to depict the actual and up-to-date
business position of the bank.
Though I have prepared many reports before, I had no experience of
internship. So inexperience is one of the main constrains of the study.

more relevant steps should be taken based on the situation:
To handle guest complaints Customer Service Officers need to take the following steps.

possible, let the guest vent, stay calm, be polite, listen and offer a soft drink or cool water.
b. Show empathy: Genuinely show that the officers are feeling the same as the
guest is feeling – e.g. “I understand how you feel, please let me resolve this for you”.
Talking with the same intensity of emotion displayed by the guest. This will help calm

problem completely and make required clarifications to understand the real situation.

complaint. If not it has to be channeled it to the right person based.
h. Respond immediately: The person receiving the complaint directly from the
guest or passed on by a colleague should, offer the guest alternatives and let him/her
choose. Offer the solution clearly and explain to the guest the steps which will be taken to
solve the problem. The solution should be provided in the shortest possible time.
i. Present the solution positively: Explaining to the guest exactly what they can do
rather than what cannot do. e.g. instead of saying; “I can’t deliver the certificate today”,
say “I will make arrangement to deliver the certificate tomorrow”. Using appropriate

guest’s problem. Convey urgency by using positive, time based statements - e.g. “right
away”, “immediately”, “within an hour” etc.

or irate guest into a delighted guest who has directly complained to Customer Care
Service or had been handed over to them by a colleague according to the ‘Handling Guest
Complaints’ section above -
• When a service breakdown occurs, the guest needs to be taken care of in a manner that
makes him/her feel very special and important.
• Due to the service breakdown if the guest is attempting to end the relationship with the
bank at any time of this process all attempts should be made to convince the guest to stay
with BRAC Bank and steps should be taken to resolve the issue.
• It is essential that the guest is kept updated once every 3 days (by the person who owns
the problem) to ensure that they do not feel that no action is being taken. Progress of the
problem should be logged regularly.
• Once breakdown has been taken care of it is the duty of the concerned department to
send the guest a letter thanking him/her for being a BRAC Bank guest and, depending on

It was my first duty to inform interested customers about the required documents and
charges of an account. Then the customer will fill-up the Account Opening Form (AOF)
with the help of mine or acting BSSO which is checked by CSM and verified by BM. The
BSSO will provide Welcome Pack of the account to customer. Now-a-days, atm cards are
provided with all types of account. So, check books are provided on request by customers
with necessary charges.

If a debit card is lost or damaged then customer will request for a debit through a debit
card requisition form with the previous card number. On request of customer I had
provided the form and instruct them to fill-up it. The form is checked for sufficient
balance and if balance is enough then it is sent to item production. Then a card is issued
and reissued card number is sent to phone banking for activation purpose. A pin number
is also issued for the new card. The lost card is showed as “Hot Card” and deleted from
the system. The customers have to come for collecting the atm card and also pin number
of the card.

Customer care service receives chequebook request through three ways- directly from
customers, through bearer or drop-box. I had the responsibility to collect all the
requisition form customers and verify the cash amount with the charge. Then BSSO has
to send a chequebook requisition mail with the approval of CSM and BM. Branch send
the requisition mail to item production. They upload the chequebook related data and also
print the chequebook. These chequebooks are delivered to the branch. Then BSSO has
the responsibility to deliver these chequebooks to customers.

The customers have to fill-up specific internet banking form in the branch. The requested
customers will be provided with the form and it is necessary to clearly specify the e-mail
address by customers. Then BSSO has to check and verify the request for fulfillment and
disbursement. It is necessary to check whether the customer has a debit card or not
because 16 digit card numbers are required for setting the internet banking password.
This password is sent to customer e-mail address. The customer has to receive the
password and with this code he/she can access his account, do transaction and also many
things.

Sometimes customer faces problem with their signature. So they come to branch for
changing their signature. I had provided the customers with necessary form and requested
them for a recent taken photograph of him/her. This signature change card is sent to
specific department for archiving. The department will upload the new signature in the
system. This process will take 3-4 days. After that period customers can use their new
signature.

Static data change means changing data like address change, nominee change, mobile
number change and etc. The customers have to fill-up specific form with necessary
documents. Like- if a person wants to change his mobile number it is required to attach
the registration copy of his SIM. I have checked and verified the form. Then BSSO will
send the form to Fulfillment & Disbursement (F&D). With the form and attached
document specific department will upload the documents in the system and Finacle.

It is responsibility of BSSO to enlist all the atm cards, chequebooks and pin numbers that
has been delivered to a branch. But if those things are not received by customers within 3
months, Bank has to destroy those things. For that purpose I have enlisted all the
undelivered atm cards, chequebooks, pin numbers and then mailed the list to Item
Production and Imaging Department. They will destroy the mentioned things from the
system and mail back to branch. After checking the list with the atm card, chequebook
and pin numbers BM with send these things with a list. Finally, Item Production and
Imaging Department will destroy within 7 days of physically receipt.

When in a particular day there is excess cash in branch, I had informed CM through mail.
IBCM will ask Treasury Department where to deposit the excess amount by mail. The
deposit decision is taken by Treasury Department and they inform IBCM where to
deposit. IBCM forward the mail to respective branch and instruct how to deposit the
excess amount in other bank with the presence of BRAC Bank representative.
Problems that I had faced in performing those duties:
1. BSSO have the responsibility to perform those duties through Finacle. But I was
not authorized to activate any Finacle id and access the sever. As a result,
customer service was not easy for me
2. A training session will be helpful for the interns. But due to time storage no
training program can be provided.
3. Customers do not have enough information about the account related data. So it
was difficult me to access those accounts.
4. Update data is not available.
5.
The objective of this survey is to investigate and evaluate service standards of branches
of that the ‘guests’ experience. With a overall view to identifying areas of improvement
Service providers will be evaluated and examined on selected activities
Techniques:
With the help of chosen activities the mystery shoppers’ job just likes an ordinary
customer to gain real customer experience and interact just as an ordinary customer.
The mystery shoppers investigate each branch to cover all the CCSOs and BSSOs. Each
CCSO/ BSSO will be supervised twice during this type of survey. During the personal
investigation, the mystery shoppers perform under various circumstances and observe
staff reactions, courtesy levels and knowledge levels among other available things.
