Basic Bank Ltd - term paper



Chapter -1
Introduction
1.1  Introduction of the Report:
Banking in Bangladesh witnessed progress both quantitatively and qualitatively, during last ten years. Due to implementation of financial sector reform programs, which started in the year 1989, the supervision and control of Bangladesh Bank (Central Bank of the country), has become more effective the economic activities of the country increased and diversified. Due to technological growth particularly in information technology sector, people’s expectations from the banking sector have also increased. The existing banks were not able to meet all these demands effectively as they were over burdened with stuck-up loans in a prevailing default culture. In the backdrop of this scenario, licenses were issued to ten new banks in the year 1999 and Basic Bank Limited is one of these new third generation banks.
Assurance means employees knowledge and courtesy and their ability to inspire trust and confidence. This dimension is likely to be particularly important for services that the customer perceives as involving high risk and they feel uncertain about their ability to evacuate outcomes. In dimension ranking of assurance Basic Bank is in 1st position scoring 4.25 which indicates this bank is able to gain trust and confidence to the customer which is the key for success of any organization. In the early stage of relationship, the consumer may use tangible evidence to assess the assurance dimension. Visible evidence of degrees, honors, awards and special certification may give a new customer confidence in a professional service provider so overall this bank is able to achieve all these things successfully.

In is willingness to help customers and to provide prompt service. It is a very important dimension but Basic Bank has its 5th position with the score 3.59 which is so poor so this indicates that Basic Bank has failed to provide perfect on time service and lacks in helping customer properly. This com be improved by providing technical training on faster delivery of services and through motivational training employers improve willingness to help consumers. They can ever provide incentive for prompt service to employees.

Current ratio =
                         
                       = 0.087:1
Working: Current Assets = Cash + Balance with other Bank + money at call on short notice.
             = 10,019,738,254+2.695.771132+1,400,000,000
             = 14115509386
