Executive Summary
Community Bank Bangladesh Limited, a subsidiary of Bangladesh Police Kallyan Trust, was
founded with the goal of providing communities with customized, secure solutions while
upholding the highest corporate governance standards. Community Bank Bangladesh Limited
was inaugurated by Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on September 11, 2019. Their
level of service has now surpassed that of all others. This bank is now offering all new banking
services to its customers and clients, ensuring complete customer satisfaction. Despite this, they
continue to improve their banking system and service quality.
In this report, I compared the performance of Community Bank Bangladesh Limited to that of
three other private banks.: IFIC Bank Limited, AB Bank Ltd, and NCC Bank Ltd. I discussed the
banks and my challenges, departmental work and activities, SWOT analysis, how far they've
progressed in this industry, and work formation. I analyzed all of the data to better understand
the concept of working progress and their methodical approach. I did some research to see if
there were any similarities. I also discussed my overall findings from my internship experience.

Introduction
Banks play an important role in the financial operations of a company. The value of the bank
may be viewed as the essence of the economy. Although the bank does not create money, it does
facilitate the distribution and recycling of funds, as well as the transfer of wealth across national
boundaries. In today's society, we cannot imagine a business transaction, a private transaction, or
currency trading without the presence of a bank." According to Cairrncross, the major broker, a
loan and debt broker, is a bank. A bank, as we all know, is the lifeblood of all industrial and
commercial operations that help a country's economy thrive by facilitating the movement of
funds and securing financial capital.
The bank, on the other hand, offers a variety of services to help its business run smoothly.
Clients and customers can take advantage of the bank's various services, which include lockers,
withdrawal services, credit letters, online payment systems, and performance guarantees, among
others. Banks frequently warn customers about the risk. Every day, modern online banking raises
our standard of living. Banks make it much easier to obtain home loans, auto loans, agricultural
loans, personal loans, and other types of loans. This is how the bank enables us to improve our
living conditions. There are currently 63 scheduled financial institutions throughout the country.
Nine state-owned banks (five of which are specialist banks), 38 private banks, and nine private
banks exist. The remaining nine are foreign commercial banks. Despite the fact that the banking
industry in Bangladesh is undergoing major changes, it remains inefficient as a result of these
changes. Bank lending is the most pressing issue in Bangladesh's financial sector. This is a
common issue. A number of actions have been taken to resolve the loan default.

Origin of the Report
An internship experience is required to complete the entire BBA program. After completing all
academic programs, a student must be accepted into an internship training program. Each
graduate is required to write a report on what they learned during their internship training and
practical experience. As a result, I was grateful for the chance to take part in Community Bank's
small internship program. My paper is titled "Internship Program on Community Bank," and I
wrote it under the supervision of Mosabbir Ahmad of United International University.
Objectives
The primary goal of this Report is to apply the theoretical principles of Realistic Orientation in
banking activities to a real-life examination, which is part of the BBA program. This report's
goal, on the other hand, is much broader. I divided the objectives into two categories: broad
objectives and specific objectives. The following are the broad objectives of this article:
Broad Objective
• Being aware of Community Bank's progress.
• The performance of Community Bank LTD in comparison to other banks of the same
generation.
• Pay attention to the loan sections, such as retail loan and corporate loan.
• Observe Community Bank's general banking and advance operations, as well as their
services.
The manner in which bank conducts its operations across multiple fields as a unified
entity.
• Growth of Bangladesh economy
Specific Objectives
To learn more about the banking system and its services.
• To forecast Community Banks' future position in comparison to other banks of the same
generation.
8
• Determine the cause of progress in loan and other fields.
• To gain a general understanding of Community Bank LTD's credit and general banking
services.
Methodology
The report is prepared on the basis of secondary sources of information. supplementary source:
These are their names:
• The annual report of the Community Banks of the Same Generation, namely IFIC Bank, AB
Bank, South East Bank, Janata Bank Limited, and Eastern Bank Limited.
Limitations
The goal of this report's approval was to make it meaningful and widely accepted. Performed.
Several issues, however, arose during the analysis's organization. All of the images and
information provided are incomplete. Any and all data is kept private and confidential. It is
required and only a few people are made aware of it. I discovered some flaws while studying at
the bank. Now I'll go over all of the constraints I faced during my internship program—
9
• Due to privacy concerns, I have a very little knowledge about the software they used for their
primary operations.
• Employees were kept busy all day because they had to perform multiple operations at the same
time.
• We are not permitted to use our personal laptops or pads for any bank-related activities.
Apart from all other limitations, it was an amazing journey to gain some corporate experiences,
which has given me confidence to pursue this knowledge in the future.

export fund that is required by the local businessman to conduct their export import business.
This was kind of an informative thing that I learnt in my internship program.
In a nutshell, this is the history of banking. The Bank of Hindustan was Bengal's first modern
bank, established in Calcutta in 1770.
Furthermore, the Bank of Calcutta was established in 1806, is the world's oldest bank. Dacca
Bank, The Eastern Mercantile Bank Limited was founded in 1959.
In a country where a large proportion of the population lives in poverty. Five-year plans continue
to govern economic policy. Nonetheless, some progress has been made over time, such as self-
sufficiency in food grains, lower population growth rates, poverty alleviation, and increased
export income.
Bangladesh's economic growth prospects in the near future will be determined by the speed with
which economic reforms are implemented and the quality of macroeconomic management.
Higher levels of investment will be required to accelerate the rate of economic growth. The vast
majority of this will be accounted for by private foreign direct investment. This can be
accomplished by overhauling the financial system and hastening the financial deepening process.
11
However, because the government is frequently the bank's owner, regulator, supervisor, and
client, there has been plenty of room for mismanagement over the years. The banking system is
plagued by a lack of credit discipline, out-of-date loan recovery law, corruption, inefficiency,
overstaffing, and other issues.
The financial industry has implemented a number of reforms to improve the situation. The
previous relative stability achieved with the assistance of the central bank and the government
has restored public trust in Bangladesh's banking sector. Furthermore, NCBs and old-generation
Private Commercial Banks (PCBs) would be required to reduce the proportion of nonperforming
assets in their portfolios (NPAs). If this is not done, the NCBs will be re-capitalized. As a result,
the government's limited resources in Bangladesh may be depleted even further. This re-
capitalization is not currently or in the near future feasible. With these conditions in place, the
World Bank predicts that the growing burden of non-performing loans and rising debt servicing
rates will strain the economy and, in the long run, lead to a recession.
Specialized banks are those that focus on specific sectors or industries of the economy.
Bangladesh Kristi Bank (BKB), for example, only works in the agricultural sector; Bangladesh
Shilpa Bank (BSB), in the industrial sector; and so on. Commercial banks are Scheduled Banks
that operate in the country in accordance with the Central Bank's rules and regulations.
Commercial banks are classified into three types: nationalized commercial banks (NCBs),
foreign commercial banks (FCBs), and private commercial banks (PCBs).

One of the most important functions of Community Bank Treasury is Asset Liability
Management. The ALM Desk, which is a separate section under the Treasury Department, at
Community Bank is extremely efficient.

international economic update, market liquidity forecasts, interest rate projections, a balance
sheet analysis, and recommendations for how to optimize the balance sheet, such as lowering or
raising deposit and lending rates.
The ALM desk assists ALCO in adjusting lending and deposit rates by providing accurate data
and superior forecasts. Based on BASEL III liquidity ratios (LCR & NSFR) and central bank
policy, the ALM desk created a new ALM policy.
Taking the ALM guidelines into consideration. By changing its deposit mix and reducing its
reliance on term deposits, the bank saved a significant amount of money.

risk, internal control and enforcement risk etcetera.

profit.
•Risk Aggregation:

to ensure their capabilities and capacities.
Ethics
The Bank's reputation must be preserved.
Concern for the interests of stakeholders.
Standards, code, and conduct.
Management control that is effective and efficient.
Risk Analysis
When evaluating a bank's performance, two important dimensions to consider profitability and
risk.
If stock prices do not rise in line with stockholder expectations, current investors will try to sell
their shares, making it difficult for the bank to raise new capital to support future growth.
Banks frequently face a variety of risks in the course of their operations, and those that can deal
with these risks perform better.
•Credit Risk: The possibility where some of the bank's assets will be lost their value and
become worthless.
•Liquidity Risk: The financial institution the likelihood that banks will lack sufficient cash and
borrowing capacity to meet deposit withdrawals and other cash requirements.
•Market Risk: The Bank's investment portfolio's market value probability Interest rates are
rising, causing the value of the currency to fall.

assets.
•Earnings Risk: The Bank's Net Income After All Expenses – This is the risk to the bank's
bottom line.
•Solvency Risk: Possibility that a bank's assets will be worth less than its total liabilities.
26
CBBL is doing well comparatively to the other new coming bank in the industry. Their ratios are
promising and up to mark with other banks situated in our country. As a new ban there are lots of
ways to make improve. Eventually it is currently working for that.
Challenges Facing
As an employee of a new bank, the challenges they, the new employees, are going through are:
1. They've to fuel extra energy and extra working hours to make this bank developed and grow in
this banking sector.
2. There is a lack of manpower in both the divisions of head offices and in branches. So, the
existing employees in branches are going through a hard time providing proper financial services
to the clients. This makes the clients complaining in this market about this bank. And, this lack
of manpower in branches are not letting them to provide enough information about the business
clients and/or general clients that are used by employees in head office to analyze information
about them. This gives them a hard time processing files and they have to squeeze officials of
branches to get information.
3. Even though employees are working hard and working late hours, there is no reward as any
financial incentives like increments in salary or promotions etc. This is the main reason of recent
surge of resignations of many frustrated employees.
SWOT ANALYSIS

Weakness:
27
Opportunities:
Threats:
Green Banking
This is the initiatives which can make them different form the competitors in the banking
industry. Climate Change is deemed to be one of the major threats in today’s world. Due to
unusual weather pattern and rising pollution, society demands that business also take
responsibility in safeguarding the environment. Green banking, often known as socially
responsible banking or sustainable banking, is a branch of the banking industry.
Green banking can be defined as financial services that are environmentally friendly to
encourage activities that aren't dangerous to the community and to the environment. The
Bangladesh Bank has already sent out circulars to its customers. Banks must develop their own
green banking policies. Environmental and social risk management, as well as CSR policy.
Policy on environmental, social, and economic risk management (ESRM) and other pertinent
policies. in agreement with Community Bank provides long-term green finance solutions that are
also in line Our green banking initiatives includes online and paperless banking, contributing to
reduction in greenhouse gas emission, efficient energy use, environment friendly projects, tree
plantation and so on with long-term societal sustainability and the country's economic
development.
Comparison
As this is a new bank enlisted in our country and it had established in 2019. There annual report
has analyzed and published only for that years. This bank is doing comparatively other banking
28
in this current tenure. Their ratios and other measurement are quite good as they have started
their journey newly. Their current ratios, asset turnover ratio, loan to deposit ratio, debt to equity
is ration is quite well among other competitors in this industry. In 2019, the Cash Ratio of IFIC
Bank was 0.219567, that of AB Bank was 0.338758, and that of CBBL was 0.1579. In 2019,
IFIC Bank had a current ratio of 1.521633, AB Bank had a ratio of 1.55936, and CBBL had a
ratio of 1.2357. In 2019,
Recommendation
Community Bank Limited should prioritize their interior decorations because the interior
decorations in the Gulshan Branch are quite primitive and this style of décor does not fit in such
a prominent location. As it the head office it can be more enlightened with the lights and other
staffs. They should also update their computers which are pretty outdated. Employees suffer
greatly as a result of this, and they should be provided with adequate kitchen facilities. They
should also provide technical facilities to interns, because during the three months I worked
there, the CBBL officials provided me with a personal computer or a desk, which greatly aided
my learning of new things. The people were too friendly to teach the task as I was completely
new with the environment. I had experienced a huge amount of positive learning from there as it
was my first corporate professional place.
Conclusion
As a new bank in the banking industry it is becoming the most promising and well known bank
in our country. From the top level to bottom level of management they are trying their level best
to make this financial institution as a greater place for the transaction and other services. One of
Bangladesh's new bank is CBBL Bank. This bank is consistently profitable. It is not very nice
because it was established in Bangladesh through banking sector. I was also ecstatic to be given
the opportunity to work for a company. The three months I worked at CBBL were extremely
memorable for me and the employees were extremely friendly and helpful.
Furthermore, this report has greatly aided me in understanding the core of the banking industry,
and I have done my best to demonstrate CBBL comparative performance with that of similar
generation private banks. This report was written by me which is also very special. I have come
up with lots of new things and ideas form making this report over this bank.
29
In addition, I have made some recommendations that CBBL can use to improve its performance.
Mosabbir Ahmad (Professor of United International University) has been extremely helpful in
completing this Internship Report despite the COVID-19 situation; without his assistance, I
would not have been able to complete this report. I have a great deal of admiration and gratitude
for him.
