1. Introduction
Lets close our eyes and think about a government owned commercial
bank. We will surely start to think of a very clumsy place filled up with a
lot f old people working very slowly and the image will be accompanied
with the image of a very dirty place. Actually thats what we can see when
we go to any bank like Sonali Bank in Motijheel or any other government
bank in Bangladesh. BASIC is a bank with a lot of differences from this
situation. In this report we will try to find out how it differs and whats in
common.

income tax to the Government. The cumulative figure of contribution to
the Government exchequer by way of corporate tax up to December
31, 2008 amounted to Taka 2,790.98 million, which is almost 35 times
the amount of original paid-up capital of the Bank.

2.8 Other Activities


2.8.1 Human

resources

BASIC has a well-diversified pool of human resource, which is composed of


personnel with high academic background. Also, there is a positive
demographic characteristic. Most employees are comparatively young in
age yet mature in experience. As at end of 2008 the total employee
strength was 820.
The Bank follows a strict recruitment policy in order to ensure that only
the best people are recruited. The Bank, so far, has recruited five
batches of entry-level management staff, all of whom have got excellent
academic background.
Intensive training program, on a regular basis, is being imparted to
employees of both management and non-management levels to meet
the challenges in the banking industry and to help employees to adapt
the changes and new working conditions. Human resource is the main
driving force and quality human resources are the key sources for the
success of today's banking business. Keeping this view in mind and
recognizing the importance of training for professional excellence BASIC
Bank Ltd. established its own training cell in 2005 with modern facilities. In
2008 the cell arranged 22 training courses and provided training to as
many as 360 employees of the bank. The bank also sends its employees to
BIBM and other local and foreign institutions with a view to sharpening
their knowledge base. During the year 2008 a total of 379 employees of

the Bank were provided with training in various fields. Out of them 16
employees participated in training courses held abroad.
In 2008 total 122 employees of various stages were given promotion which
is almost 17.00 percent of total employees of the bank.
2.8.2 Automation
The Bank has been providing off-line computerized banking service to all
its customers since its inception. To accelerate the speedy and accurate
account ledger maintained and to make available all potential international
banking products, the bank has already been in the process of
implementing centralized On-line Banking system. It is expected that
within the end of 2008 the bank will be able to serve its customers
through the new system including ATM and Internet banking facilities.
2.8.3 Branch

Network

A great deal of investment for developing the physical resource base of


the Bank has been made. BASIC Bank has its presence in all the major
industrial and commercial centers of Bangladesh in order to cater to the
need of industry and
trade. At the end of
2009, there were thirty

three bill collection booths at Ramna, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar and Gulshan
exchange Office of BTTB, Dhaka. A Foreign Exchange booth was opened
at Osmani Int'l Airport, Sylhet in April '05 for mobilizing foreign exchange.
This is one of the areas where BASIC Bank is relatively lagging behind. The
Bank has already signed an agreement with Placid NK Corporation, USA
and MoneyGram International, Minneapolis, USA for obtaining foreign
currency remittances. The bank is expected to sign agreement with Tele
Money transfer, London, UK and some similar agreement with companies
located in Saudi Arabia and UAE are going to be finalized shortly.

It

of mine for all

functions. While preparing

from

about the banking


this report I feel its necessary to

tell a few words about it. There are almost 20 people working in this
branch heart and soul to earn for the organization and to provide best
possible services. There are two different departments in the branch. It is
their cumulative hard work that makes it one of the biggest money
spinners for BASIC Bank Limited in the North Bengal Zone. The very
interior design even shows that how much control is there in the branch.
The boss can go through surveillance from his very table on every
employee either directly or through CC TV. I think it is really rare to find
out such a clean office that is owned by government of Bangladesh.
The departments that work in the branch are General banking & Loans &
Advance Section. The general banking performs the very common task of
creating; collecting; circulating; control the liquid money of the Bank. It
also helps with Pay Orders and various sorts of Drafts too.
The Loans & Advance Department performs the function related to loan
disbursement and collection of loans. It also issues Bank Guaranties. In
the changing banking world it is becoming harder everyday to work in this
section by following all the rules stated by Bangladesh Bank.

CRM in BASIC Bank Limited

Traditionally, few people changed their banks unless serious problems


occurred. In the past there was, to certain extent, a committed, often
inherited relationship between a customer and his/her bank. The
philosophy, culture and organization of financial institutions were
26 | P a g e

BASIC BANK LIMITED, RAJSHAHI BRANCH

grounded in this assumption and reflected in their marketing policies,


which were product and transaction-oriented, reactionary, focused on
discrete rather than continuous activities.
Today, financial institutions can no longer rely on these committed
relationships or established marketing techniques to attract and retain
customers. As markets break down into heterogeneous segments, a
more precisely targeted marketing technique is required, which creates
a dialogue with smaller groups of customers and identifies individual
needs.
Also, before the Internet revolution, consumers largely selected their
banks based on how convenient the location of bank's branches was to
their homes or offices. With the advent of new technologies in the
business of bank, such as Internet banking and ATMs, now customers
can freely chose any bank for their transactions. Thus, the customer
base of banks has increased, and so has the choices of customers for
selecting the banks. This situation coupled with the pressures of
competitive and dynamic markets has contributed to the growth of CRM
in the Financial Services Sector.

4.1 Customer Relationship Management: The


Concept
Customer Relationship Management is the establishment, development,
maintenance

and

optimization

of

long-term

mutually

valuable

relationships between consumers and the organizations. Successful


customer relationship management focuses on understanding the
needs and desires of the customers and is achieved by placing these
needs at the heart of the business by integrating them with the
organization's strategy, people, technology and business processes.

At the heart of a perfect CRM strategy is the creation of mutual value


for all the parties involved in the business process. It is about creating a
sustainable competitive advantage by being the best at understanding,
communicating, and delivering, and developing existing customer
relationships in addition to creating and keeping new customers. So the
concept of product life cycle is giving way to the concept of customer
life cycle focusing on the development of products and services that
anticipate the future need of the existing customers and creating
additional services that extend existing customer relationships beyond
transactions.

4.1.1

Need of CRM in the Banking Industry

A Relationship-based Marketing approach has the following benefits:


-Over time, retail bank customers tend to increase their holding of the
other products from across the range of financial products / services
available. Long-term customers are more likely to become a referral
source.
The longer a relationship continues; the better a bank can understand
the customer and his/her needs & preferences, and so greater the
opportunity to tailor products and services and cross-sell the product /
service range.
Customers in long-term relationships are more comfortable with the
service, the organization, methods and procedures. This helps reduce
operating cost and costs arising out of customer error.
With increased number of banks, products and services and practically
nil switching costs, customers are easily switching banks whenever they
find better services and products. Banks are finding it tough to get new
customers, and more importantly, retain existing customers.
According to a research by Reichheld and Sasser in the Harvard
Business Review, 5% increase in customer retention can increase

profitability by 35% in banking business, 50% in insurance and


brokerage, and 125% in the consumer credit card market. Therefore,
banks are now stressing on retaining customers and increasing market
share.

4.1.2

Private Banking and CRM

Private Banks have traditionally viewed themselves as exceedingly


'Customer Centric' offering what they believe to be highly personalized
services to the High Net Worth Customers. However, changes in the
customer behavior and accumulation of wealth are resulting in the
needs of HNW customers becoming more diverse and complex in terms
of the sorts of products they want, the channels through which they
want to access them and the associated range of advice. The wealthier
the customers, the more demanding they are - and the clients expect
more and more from their banks. Competition for "Supremely elite" is
increasing

4.1.3

Customer Experiences

The first step towards successfully winning, retaining and growing the
profitability of private banking customers is to understand what their
wants and needs are, so that the organization can be built around
serving those needs. Only when an organization has done this and
incorporated this into its strategy can it start to design its value
proposition and a customer experience that will enable it to achieve a

private banking market, and more importantly, do so in an economically


viable way
There is a basic 'generic' customer experience that many private
banking customers are seeking. To be a credible player in the market, a
private bank must be able to deliver this 'base' experience. This
represents a common set of needs that are shared by most HNW
customers. Therefore, the private bank must have the capabilities
required to meet these needs for the majority of its customer base.
All customers, regardless of wealth levels, have similar emotional
Figure 1 The Basic HNW Customer Experience: Rohit Perera &
Tamsin Brew- CRM in F.S

needs, which drive their need for

advice and their purchase of products. Different wealth levels impose


different priorities on meeting these needs and open up new avenues
for doing so.
Take a simple example, HNW customers can afford on it to fund their
retirement, so their priorities may be associated with growing wealth,
rather than preserving it, allowing them to choose a product option with
a higher risk/reward ratio.
If this is true, it means all HNW customers start with a basic, common
set of what they want and need from a bank, which might include:

Personal, long-term relationship


Advice combining industry expertise and knowledge of personal

circumstances
High quality, consistent quality
Security, privacy, confidentiality

At this basic level, grouping together these core wants and needs
produces a set of generic characteristics that an HNW individual seeks
from an organization before he or she will even consider placing any of
his or her wealth with it.

Underlying these generic characteristics is a set of capabilities covering


organization, process and technology, which the private bank must
process to operate in the high net worth market.

to ensure that their emotional needs are met. It is here that the
customer is made to feel like an individual, but it is also at this point
that costs and infrastructure spiral, as customers' needs start to
diverge.
The segmentation process identifies groups of customers with similar
wants and needs, who are seeking a similar experience from the
provider. Importantly, from the organizations' viewpoint, this means
that they can also be served by similar sets of capabilities.
The channel preferences of each segment and associated channel
experience - for example, a self-directed group of customers will use
internet for transacting, information gathering and even some advice,
whereas advice seekers and less financially sophisticated segments
require more access to an adviser / relationship manager and a more
basic experience over the Internet.

The product and service preferences of that segment - for example, the
more sophisticated customers are more likely to demand more complex
products such as alternative investments, whilst others may prefer
discretionary portfolio management.
The new components are added to the experience and the 'base'
experiences elements become defined in more depth, according to the
specific needs of the customer segment.
Once the segment experiences have been defined, the associated
capabilities must again be identified. The hierarchical approach to
defining customer experiences helps filter these capabilities as: -

It is possible to identify experience elements that are common to


more than one segment - this will carry a higher priority for

development as they will benefit more customers;


The segmentation exercise will provide comparative sizing for the

target segments.
Capabilities required for the larger, more profitable segments take
precedence over those needed for smaller segments.

4.1.5

The Organization-Specific Experience

Having identified the base and segment specific elements of HNW


customer experience, the final step is to identify how the experience
that each organization offers its customers is distinct from other banks.
Now this would mean that one has to distinctly identify the components
of the experience that are not only associated with a particular bank but
also be the key differentiator.
This process will define:

Elements of the organization style and culture.


Products and Services to be provided.

In the same way, every brand is different, so is the experience.

4.2 CRM in Practice in BASIC Bank Limited


In Bangladesh banking is not yet a very developed industry and that
has happened due to various strict rules and regulation set by the
central authority of banks, the central bank. Due to the weak
infrastructural condition and economic vulnerability the central bank
often has to play a very protective role and has to play it safe.

In my short experience in BASIC, I have found a very interesting thing


and that is huge use of CRM tools. Although this methods are not
formally used as CRM tools but the goal they pursue are similar to those
of the CRM goals, building and maintaining profitable relationships. The
CRM practice is mainly in customer experience level as the dealing
customers are not of a very qualified level. Some of the tools used in
banks CRM are as follows

4.2.1

Advice & Expertise

A bankers job is not only to develop his or her banks asset base or
profit but to ensure sustainable development of all the parties he or she
is going to serve. This is a huge dilemma for any banker that which one
he should choose between the clients benefit or the banks one.
Bankers of BASIC Bank Limited have always given importance on
ensuring their clients maximum benefit until it harms the rules and
regulation of the bank. The organization believes that if a client is
served with a good advice than sooner or later the thing is going to pay
back and will create a long term relationship with the bank.
4.2.1.1 Advices
The clients often expect good and logical advises from the bankers as
they believe that the bankers know better than them about which of the
loan scheme is going to give him maximum benefit or which one is
going to ensure them maximum return on their asset in case of
depositing.
There are several aspects where a client can be advised on
1. Selection of appropriate loan packages
a. There are various types of loans available in the bank which
serves different purpose. It is often hard for the clients to
find out which one is the best one for them. In such a case it
very important for the banker to help the client to find out
34 | P a g e

CRM
A CASE STUDY

IN

BANKING INDUSTRY

BASIC BANK LIMITED, RAJSHAHI BRANCH

the most profitable loan package for him. Such as a client


needs a certain amount for 4 months, in this circumstances
the clients can achieve the fund by taking a CC(H) loan for
one year on the other hand the banker can advice him to go
for a STL limit for the short period of time which will save
him money and will also save hassle.
2. Selection of appropriate investment packages
a. There are a lot of people who have enough idle money but
cant invest due to their other problems, in this situation
bank borrow that idle money from them and then lend them
to others. The principle of banking is to transfer money from
the surplus unit to deficit unit. An investor can invest in
different ways; a banker helps him to select the most
profitable investment opportunity available for him in the

bank.
3. Selection of appropriate loan repayment method
a. After disbursal of loan, it needs to be repaid. Generally the
clients select the loan repayment method. A loan can be
repaid through monthly installments or just through daily
transactions. Even in some cases the loan can be repaid just
35 | P a g e

BASIC BANK LIMITED, RAJSHAHI BRANCH

by completing a work order and receiving a bill against it.


The bankers will advice to select the best possible loan
repayment method that suits the customers business type
and loan size.
4. Tax redemption
a. There are several ways to get tax redemption in the
national Tax rule and the bankers help the client to take
necessary action to ensure lesser tax.
5. Cost cutting
a. There are several cost attached to the loan disbursal
process which can often be reduced just because of the
bankers good will. Ensuring the availability of all the
services at a cheaper rate will easily cut the cost of the loan
and thus the EIR and will ensure delighted customers.

4.2.1.2 Expertise
A banker can lend his expertise in the following sections
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Preparing financial statements


Preparing stock reports
Preparing valuation reports
Planning financial plans
Preparing financial projections
Preparing L/C applications and other applications

4.2.2

Personal Relationship

Personal relationship is very important for any banker customer


relationship. There is always a sense of belonging in the clients mind
because of the long term association with the bank.
In the banks it is always tried that the customers always face the same
officer as it makes the process of relationship building easier. There are
benefits of this sort of personal relationship because this saves both
time and effort of both the parties. The person who deals with the same

client comes to know nooks and corners of the clients taken benefits
and his business criteria also. It becomes much easier for him to get
hold of the problem that the client might face.

Error Free Service

Long term bonding

On the other hand, the client feels comfortable about the person who is
dealing with all the problems as he knows that the person sitting in
front of him know a detail view of all his loans, advances or deposits.
The interpersonal bond helps the parties to discuss matters more freely
and to reach a solution instead of just getting into a dead block which
can become very fatal for both of them.

Performance

There is no alternative of high quality performance in banks as the


organization is a strictly service based organization. This specific CRM
tool is useful in case of the deposit making customers. They always
demand a very high quality performance in investing their hard earned
money. The customers expect performance in the following sectors.
1. Safe fund management
2. Profitable investment
3. Investment in sustainable development sectors
The bank just cant collect deposit from the depositors but it also must
ensure that the bank is going to invest the hard earned depositors
money is sectors where it will earn most achievable value.

Quality Service

The clients dealing with the banks need high quality error free service
as their business depends a lot on the banks. There hard earned
reputation and capital are glued together with the banks performance.
If the bank fails to perform in a fast & error free manner than there is a
good possibility that the client will face severe difficulties in running his
or her business.
There many parties and points where a bank needs to take faster
decision and error free performance because of attachment of money
with time. A simple mistake in L/C can cause a customer to lose a huge
business, thus face a severe damage in his business and finally not
being able to pay back the facilities he is enjoying from the bank. That
would be fatal for both the parties and can cause serious damage to the
partnering attitude prevailing between the parties.

4.2.5

Flexibility

Flexibility is one of the advanced tools of banking CRM which is


generally used only in case of the older trusted clients. In Rajshahi
branch only two parties are enjoying this type of facilities regularly.
They are two of the oldest and biggest parties of the branch who have a
very good track record. These parties generally enjoys flexibility in case
of banking hour, bankers duty, extra services, extra facilities exceeding
the limit to meet urgent need of funds.
The bank shows this sort of flexibilities with two different goals. One of
them is just to ensure financial soundness of the party on the other
hand the second goal is to create a sense of partnering in the
customers mind.

The developer strategy is used for selected customers who have a high
attractiveness factor with a good prospect for greater penetration. The
defend strategy is designed to safeguard existing customers from
competitive inroads, particularly where potential growth will be limited.
Both these strategies will absorb resources but the potential customers
are likely to be crucial to the achievement of the company objective.

Defend Selectively

Maintenance with minimum resource is a strategy for customers with


whom good business is enjoyed despite the fact that they may not
really fit BASIC Bank Limiteds competitive advantage.
The policy will be to ensure limited resource allocation. Use of resources
is generally trimmed by substituting personal care taking with offsite
supervision.
Withdrawing is an appropriate strategy where the customer is patently
using more valuable resources than is likely to be justified. Customers
failing in these two strategic classifications are unlikely to become
important customers. Although there are certain initiatives taken to try
to convert them to key customers, but these initiatives rarely does work
as these sort of organization slowly becomes very expensive for the
bank to service and thus very soon the bank tries to dump them.

in turn ensures long term customers association with the bank.

play a vital role in making customers satisfied or dissatisfied. If the
process is long and complex then there is a rare chance that the
customer is going to be happy about it as it is costing him more time
than he is used to spend on the matter as a result the process are
needed to be monitored extremely well and time gaps are needed to be
cut down. Making the process easier to understand also helps a lot. In
BASIC Bank Limited the process of service delivery has been made
easier in the customers end because of the customers demand for it
but has not been possible to do so in the whole process because of the
rules and regulation attached to the service delivery of the banks by the
central authority of the banks, the central bank.

What Customers like about BASIC
Bank
During the long time I worked in BASIC Bank Limited, I had met a lot
of businessmen from different level of the society and commercials of
different organizations. Whenever we discussed about service and other
aspects of the bank they gave importance on some aspects of the
branch. So, I decided to make a simple list of questions to ask them
during conversations. It was very hard to ask them directly as they were
very busy, so most of the questions were asked during the break time
or lunch time. While talking to them I had to feel up the questionnaire
by myself as they themselves were not interested to feel up them. It
wouldnt be ok to tell it a research but it surely can define the
perception of the customer of the Rajshahi branch because these are
the people who help Rajshahi branch most of its profit. They also have
got the biggest amount of loan from the branch.
I was able to interview 26 people during the internship period but I had
to exclude 4 of them and thats why all the results are shown in terms
of 22 people.
In the following sections I will try to show the answer pattern about
different aspects of the branch.
