This report is a material of the project work. So there are some objectives of making the report
To understand the context of customer satisfaction in banking sector.
To identify how to the customer satisfaction impact on banking service.
To identify the factors influences the customer satisfaction.
Comparison customer satisfaction of Private Bank and Nationalized Commercial Banks
(NCBs).
Current scenario of customer satisfaction in Banking sector.
The project paper is comprehensive study of the customer satisfaction of Nationalized
Commercial Banks (NCBs) and private commercial Bank. Every service business needs to productively define and measure customer satisfaction. Waiting for customers to complain in order to identify problems in the service delivery system of gauging the firm’s progress in customer satisfaction based on the number of complaints received is naive. For this reason this project works significant impact on Banking Sector. That’s why customer satisfaction is on of the important factor to continue for banking activities. I think after this all kind of Bank will provide better services for their customer satisfaction.

The Jews in Jerusalem introduced a kind of banking in the form of money lending before the birth of Christ. The word 'bank' was probably derived from the word 'bench' as during ancient time Jews used to do money -lending business sitting on long benches.First modern banking was introduced in 1668 in Stockholm as 'Svingss Pis Bank' which opened up a new era of banking activities throughout the European Mainland. In the South Asian region, early banking system was introduced by the Afgan traders popularly known as Kabuliwallas. Muslim businessmen from Kabul, Afganistan came to India and started money lending business in exchange of interest sometime in 1312 A.D. They were known as ‘kabuliwallas’.
The banking system at independence consisted of two branch offices of the former State Bank of Pakistan and seventeen large commercial banks, two of which were controlled by Bangladeshi
6
interests and three by foreigners other than West Pakistanis. There were fourteen smaller commercial banks. Virtually all banking services were concentrated in urban areas. The newly independent government immediately designated the Dhaka branch of the State Bank of
Pakistan as the central bank and renamed it the Bangladesh Bank. The bank was responsible for regulating currency, controlling credit and monetary policy, and administering exchange control and the official foreign exchange reserves. The Bangladesh government initially nationalized the entire domestic banking system and proceeded to reorganize and rename the various banks.
Foreign-owned banks were permitted to continue doing business in Bangladesh. The insurance business was also nationalized and became a source of potential investment funds. Cooperative credit systems and postal savings offices handled service to small individual and rural accounts.
The new banking system succeeded in establishing reasonably efficient procedures for managing credit and foreign exchange. The primary function of the credit system throughout the 1970s was to finance trade and the public sector, which together absorbed 75 percent of total advances. The government's encouragement during the late 1970s and early 1980s of agricultural development and private industry brought changes in lending strategies. Managed by the Bangladesh Krishi Bank, a specialized agricultural banking institution, lending to farmers and fishermen dramatically expanded. The number of rural bank branches doubled between
1977 and 1985, to more than 3,330. Denationalization and private industrial growth led the
Bangladesh Bank and the World Bank to focus their lending on the emerging private manufacturing sector. Scheduled bank advances to private agriculture, as a percentage of sectoral GDP, rose from 2 percent in FY 1979 to 11 percent in FY 1987, while advances to private manufacturing rose from 13 percent to 53 percent. The transformation of finance priorities has brought with it problems in administration. No sound project-appraisal system was in place to identify viable borrowers and projects. Lending institutions did not have adequate autonomy to choose borrowers and projects and were often instructed by the political authorities. In addition, the incentive system for the banks stressed disbursements rather than recoveries, and the accounting and debt collection systems were inadequate to deal with the problems of loan recovery. It became more common for borrowers to default on loans than to repay them; the lending system was simply disbursing grant assistance to private individuals who qualified for loans more for political than for economic reasons. The rate of recovery on agricultural loans was only 27 percent in FY 1986, and the rate on industrial loans was even worse. As a result of this poor showing, major donors applied pressure to induce the government and banks to take
7
firmer action to strengthen internal bank management and credit discipline. As a consequence, recovery rates began to improve in 1987. The National Commission on Money, Credit, and
Banking recommended broad structural changes in Bangladesh's system of financial intermediation early in 1987, many of which were built into a three-year compensatory financing facility signed by Bangladesh with the IMF in February 1987. One major exception to the management problems of Bangladeshi banks was the Grameen Bank, begun as a government project in 1976 and established in 1983 as an independent bank. In the late 1980s, the bank continued to provide financial resources to the poor on reasonable terms and to generate productive self-employment without external assistance. Its customers were landless persons who took small loans for all types of economic activities, including housing. About 70 percent of the borrowers were women, who were otherwise not much represented in institutional finance. Collective rural enterprises also could borrow from the Grameen Bank for investments in tube wells, rice and oil mills, and power looms and for leasing land for joint cultivation. The average loan by the Grameen Bank in the mid-1980s was around Tk2, 000
(US$65), and the maximum was just Tk18, 000 (for construction of a tin-roof house). Repayment terms were 4 percent for rural housing and 8.5 percent for normal lending operations. The
Grameen Bank extended collateral-free loans to 200,000 landless people in its first 10 years.
Most of its customers had never dealt with formal lending institutions before. The most remarkable accomplishment was the phenomenal recovery rate; amid the prevailing pattern of bad debts throughout the Bangladeshi banking system, only 4 percent of Grameen Bank loans were overdue. The bank had from the outset applied a specialized system of intensive credit supervision that set it apart from others. Its success, though still on a rather small scale, provided hope that it could continue to grow and that it could be replicated or adapted to other development-related priorities. The Grameen Bank was expanding rapidly, planning to have 500 branches throughout the country by the late 1980s. Beginning in late 1985, the government pursued a tight monetary policy aimed at limiting the growth of domestic private credit and government borrowing from the banking system. The policy was largely successful in reducing the growth of the money supply and total domestic credit. Net credit to the government actually declined in FY 1986. The problem of credit recovery remained a threat to monetary stability, responsible for serious resource misallocation and harsh inequities. Although the government had begun effective measures to improve financial discipline, the draconian contraction of credit availability contained the risk of inadvertently discouraging new economic
8
activity. Foreign exchange reserves at the end of FY 1986 were US$476 million, equivalent to slightly more than 2 months worth of imports. This represented a 20-percent increase of reserves over the previous year, largely the result of higher remittances by Bangladeshi workers abroad. The country also reduced imports by about 10 percent to US$2.4 billion. Because of
Bangladesh's status as a least developed country receiving concession loans, private creditors accounted for only about 6 percent of outstanding public debt. The external public debt was
US$6.4 billion, and annual debt service payments were US$467 million at the end of FY 1986.
The number of banks in all now stands at 49 in Bangladesh. Out of the 49 banks, four are
Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCBs), 28 local private commercial banks, 12 foreign banks and the rest five are Development Financial Institutions (DFIs).
Sonali Bank is the largest among the NCBs while Pubali is leading in the private ones. Among the
12 foreign banks, Standard Chartered has become the largest in the country. Besides the scheduled banks, Samabai (Cooperative) Bank, Ansar-VDP Bank, Karmasansthan (Employment)
Bank and Grameen bank are functioning in the financial sector.The number of total branches of all scheduled banks is 6,038 as of June 2000. Of the branches, 39.95 per cent (2,412) are located in the urban areas and 60.05 per cent (3,626) in the rural areas. Of the branches NCBs hold
3,616; private commercial banks 1,214 foreign banks 31 and specialised banks 1,177.Bangladesh
Bank (BB) regulates and supervises the activities of all banks. The BB is now carrying out a reform programme to ensure quality services by the banks.

Maister, (1995)stated that the importance of Customer Satisfaction cannot be overstated.
Customer satisfaction is a very important thing in a Bank. Because without customers the bank has no reason to exist. Every service business needs to productively define and measure customer satisfaction. That’s why customer satisfaction is on of the important factor to continue for banking activities.
Pizam (2005) Stated that Customer satisfaction is a psychological concept that involves the feeling of well-being and pleasure that results from obtaining what one hopes for and expects from an appealing product and/or service. customers purchase goods and services with prepurchase expectations about anticipated performance. Once the product or service has been purchased and used, outcomes are compared against expectations. When outcome matches expectations, confirmation occurs. Disconfirmation occurs when there are differences between expectations and outcomes. Negative disconfirmation occurs when product/service performance is less than expected. Positive disconfirmation occurs when product/service performance is better than expected. Satisfaction is caused by confirmation or positive disconfirmation of consumer expectations, and dissatisfaction is caused by negative disconfirmation of consumer expectations.
Vavra’s (1997) Stated that Customer satisfaction can also be defined as satisfaction based on an outcome or a process. outcome definition of customer satisfaction characterizes satisfaction as the end-state resulting from the experience of consumption. This end state may be a cognitive state of reward, an emotional response to an experience or a comparison of rewards and costs
13
to the anticipated consequences. Vavra also puts forth a definition of customer satisfaction based as a process, emphasizing the perceptual, evaluative and psychological processes contributing to customer satisfaction. In this definition, assessment of satisfaction is made during the service delivery process.
Ashish Bhave stated that Major attributes of customer satisfaction can be summarized as:
Product Quality
Product Packaging
Keeping delivery commitments
Price
Responsiveness and ability to resolve complaints and reject reports
Overall communication, accessibility and attitude.
Anders Stated that Customer satisfaction represents a modern approach for quality in enterprises and organizations and serves the development of a truly customer-focused management and culture. Measuring customer satisfaction offers an immediate, meaningful and objective feedback about clients’ preferences and expectations. In this way, company’s performance may be evaluated in relation to a set of satisfaction dimensions that indicate the strong and the weak points of a business organization. This paper presents an original customer satisfaction survey in the private bank sector. The implemented methodology is based on the principles of multicriteria analysis and preference disaggregation modelling. The most important results are focused on the determination of the critical service dimensions and the segmentation to customer clusters with distinctive preferences and expectations.
Customer satisfaction refers to the extent to which customers are happy with the products and services provided by a business. Customer satisfaction levels can be measured using survey techniques and questionnaires. Gaining high levels of customer satisfaction is very important to
14
a business because satisfied customers are most likely to be loyal and to make repeat orders and to use a wide range of services offered by a business.
There are many factors which lead to high levels of customer satisfaction including:
Products and services which are customer focused and thence provide high levels of value for money.
Customer service giving personal attention to the needs of individual customers.
After sales service - following up the original purchase with after sales support such as maintenance and updating (for example in the updating of computer packages).
What is clear about customer satisfaction is that customers are most likely to appreciate the goods and services that they buy if they are made to feel special. This occurs when they feel that the goods and services that they buy have been specially produced for them or for people like them. This relates to a wide range of products such as razors that are designed for ease of use and good quality finish, petrol products that are environmentally friendly and customized to meet the needs of particular types of engines, etc.
Customer satisfaction refers to the extent to which customers are happy with the products and services provided by a business. Customer satisfaction levels can be measured using survey techniques and questionnaires. Gaining high levels of customer satisfaction is very important to a business because satisfied customers are most likely to be loyal and to make repeated orders and to use a wide range of services offered by a business. The need to satisfy customer for success in any commercial enterprises is very obvious. The income of all commercial enterprises is derived from the payments received for the products and services to its external customers.
Customers are the sole reason for the existence of commercial establishments.
Since sales are the most important goal of any commercial enterprise, it becomes necessary to satisfy customers. For customer satisfaction it is necessary to establish and maintain certain important characteristics like: a. Quality
15
b. Fair prices c. Good customer handling skills d. Efficient delivery e. Serious consideration of consumer complaints.
Satisfaction is the feeling of pleasure or disappointment attained from comparing a products perceived performance (outcome) in relation to his or her expectations. If the performance falls short of expectations, the customer is dissatisfied. If the performance matches the expectations, the customer is satisfied.
Measuring satisfaction is necessary because it reveals the voice of your customer. Properly done, this tells you which aspects of your product, service or brand will return the greatest impact on the outcome called loyalty behavior. First customers must be surveyed to identify what they consider important or significant about your product and product category. This qualitative information then drives design of your satisfaction survey, so you can be sure you are tracking things that matter to customers. This process reveals "customer requirements." Watch out for too much company input (rather than customer input) in your questionnaire design.
Being customer-centric means you understand quality is defined by customers. If you use too much management judgment in questionnaire design your results may be accurate but still misleading. Use the questionnaire for diagnosis rather than confirmation. You can't get the right answers if you don't ask the right questions. Surveying your entire customer population (a census) may be cost prohibitive. In that case you need a SAMPLE survey that produces statistically useful generalizations about your overall customer population and any relevant subsets. Random samples must be drawn and the sample size must be large enough so that it holds down the degree of sampling error. Market research companies can help with this
16
Don't underestimate the value of customer satisfaction. It's becoming an important area of competition. A high level of satisfaction can deliver many benefits, including:
Loyalty: a highly satisfied customer is a loyal customer.
Repeat purchase: A highly satisfied customer buys more products.
Referrals: a highly satisfied customer tells their family and friends about the product or service.
Retention: a highly satisfied customer is less likely to switch brands.
Reduced costs: a highly satisfied customer costs less to serve than a new customer.
Premium prices: a highly satisfied customer is willing to pay more for the product or service.

Satisfaction surveys are an important method for collecting information about how your customers think and feel about your brand, product or service.
A satisfaction survey can help you to understand the expectations of your customers, determine whether your customers believe you are meeting those expectations, identify new customer requirements or trends in the market and determine what areas of your business need investment.
A good customer satisfaction survey will also help you to understand the causes of dissatisfaction among your customers. Once you've identified these issues, you'll be able to implement new practices to improve customer satisfaction.
Many businesses systematically measure customer satisfaction through independent surveys, feedback forms, mystery shopping and focus groups. Some third party surveys also compare the customer satisfaction of major competitors, which allows companies to benchmark themselves in their relevant sector.
Measuring customer satisfaction doesn't have to be expensive. It can be as simple as preparing a short feedback form or conducting a brief telephone interview that asks the customer to rate the product or service on a number of criteria.
An important indicator of customer satisfaction is the customer retention rate. To calculate your customer retention rate, you will need to capture data about the total number of customers and the number of customers switching brands. If you track this information over time, you'll be able to see whether you are improving your customer retention and satisfaction.
Another tool that has been introduced in Australia is the Net Promoter Scores, which provide a new metric for measuring customer loyalty. The Net Promoter Scores ask one simple question about whether a customer would recommend a product or service to a friend or colleague. This question has been identified as the ultimate determinant of customer satisfaction or loyalty.
Research in the UK and the US has found a clear correlation between the Net Promoter Scores
19
and revenue growth, illustrating the importance of customer satisfaction to future growth potential.
When a company becomes customer focused, everything starts to look different. That is because everything in a business can be viewed from a customer perspective. For this reason good customer satisfaction and loyalty programs span the entire organization. Here are the essential elements of satisfaction and loyalty programs:
Linkage to corporate vision, goals and strategies
Measurement of customer satisfaction and loyalty
Authorization and completion of relevant improvement projects
Linkage of metrics to employee rewards and recognition
Program management to assure the above items are done well

Banks are financial service firms, producing and selling professional management of the public funds as well as performing many other roles in the economy. The multiplicity of bank services and functions has led to banks being labeled as “financial department stores.” Their success hinges on their ability to identify the financial services the public demand, produce those services efficiently, and sell them at a competitive price. And what services does the public demand from banks today? In this section, we present an overview of banking’s service menu.

History shows that one of the first services offered by banks was currency exchanges, a bank stood ready to trade one form of currency, such as dollars, for another, such as Euro or Yen, in return for a service fee. Such exchanges were important to travelers in the ancient world, as they are today, because the travelers’ survival and comfort depended on gaining access to the local currency of the country or city through which they were journeying. In today’s financial marketplace, trading in foreign currency is carried out primarily by the largest banks due to the risks involved and the expertise required carrying out such transactions.
Early in their history. Bankers began discounting commercial notes; in effect making loans to local merchants who sold the debts (accounts receivable) they held against their customers to a bank to raise cash quickly. It was a short step from discounting commercial notes to making direct loans to businesses for purchasing inventories of goods or for constructing new facilities.
One of the earliest sources of funds consisted of offering savings deposits, interest-bearing funds left with banks for a period of weeks, months, or years, sometimes bearing relatively high rates of interest. According to historical records, banks in ancient Greece paid as high as 16 percent in annual interest to attract savings deposits from wealthy patrons and then made loans to ship owners sailing the Mediterranean Sea at loan rates double or triple the interest rate that bankers were paying to their savings deposit customers.
22
During the middle Ages, banks began the practice of holding gold, securities, and other valuables owned by their customers in secure vaults. They would also, when asked, assay the market value of their customers' valuables, especially gold and jewelry, and certify whether or not these so-called
"valuables" were worth what others had claimed.
During the middle Ages and the early years of the Industrial Revolution, the ability of bankers to mobilize large amounts of funds and make loans came to the attention of governments in Europe and America. Frequently, banks were chartered under the proviso that they would purchase government bonds with a portion of any deposits they received. This lesson was not lost on the fledgling American government during the Revolutionary War. During the Civil War, Congress created a whole new federal banking system, agreeing to charter national banks provided these banks purchased government bonds, which were used to help fund that war.
The Industrial Revolution in
Europe and the United States ushered in new banking practices and services. Probably the most important of the new services developed during this period was the demand deposit, a checking account that permitted the depositor to write drafts in payment for goods and services that the bank had to honor immediately. Offering demand deposits proved to be one of the industry's most important services because it significantly improved the efficiency of the payments process, making business transactions easier, faster, and safer. Now the checking account concept has been extended to the Internet and to so-called smart cards, which represent funds that can be spent electronically to pay for purchases of goods and services.
For many years banks have managed the financial affairs and property of individuals and business firms in return for a fee that is often based on the value of properties or the amount of funds under management. This property management function is
23
known as trust services. Most banks offer both personal trust services to individuals and families and commercial trust services to corporations and other businesses. Through a personal trust department, customers can set aside funds for the education of their children, for example, with the bank managing and investing the money until it is needed. Even more commonly, banks act as trustees for wills, managing a deceased customer's estate by paying claims against the estate, keeping valuable assets safe and productively invested, and seeing to it that the legal heirs receive their rightful inheritance. In their commercial trust departments, banks manage security portfolios and pension plans for business firms and act as agents for corporations issuing stocks and bonds. !his requires the trust department to pay interest or dividends on the corporation's securities and retire maturing corporate securities by paying off their holders.
Customers need an Internet access service. As an Internet Banking customer, he will be given a specific user ID and a confident password. The customer can then view his account balances online. It is the industry-standard method used to protect communications over the Internet.
To ensure that customers' personal data cannot be accessed by anyone but them, all reporting information has been secured using Version and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
Home banking frees customers of visiting branches and most transactions will be automated to enable them to check their account activities transfer fund and to open L/C sitting in their own desk with the help of a PC and a telephone.
Electronic Banking Service for
Windows (EBSW) provides a full range of reporting capabilities, and a comprehensive range of transaction initiation options. The customers will be able to process all payments as well as initiate L/Cs and amendments, through EBSW. They will be able to view the balances of all accounts, whether with Standard Chartered or with any other banks using SWIFT. Additionally, transactions may be approved by remote authorization even if the approver is out of station.
24
Automated Teller Machine (ATM), a new concept in modern banking, has already been introduced to facilitate subscribers 24 hour cash access through a plastic card. The network of ATM installations will be adequately extended to enable customers to non-branch banking beyond banking.
Tele Banking allows customers to get access into their respective banking information 24 hours a day. Subscribers can update themselves by making a phone call. They can transfer any amount of deposit to other accounts irrespective of location either from home or office.
Swift is a Bank owned non-profit co-operative based in Belgium servicing the financial community worldwide. It ensures secure messaging having a global reach of 6,495 Banks and
Financial Institutions in 178 countries, 24 hours a day. SWIFT global network carries an average
4 million message daily and estimated average value of payment messages is USD 2 trillion.
Swift is a highly secured messaging network enables Banks to send and receive Fund Transfer,
L/C related and other free format messages to and from any banks active in the network. Having
SWIFT facility, Bank will be able to serve its customers more profitable by providing L/C,
Payment and other messages efficiently and with utmost security. Especially it will be of great help for our clients dealing with Imports, Exports and Remittances etc.
Historically, most banks did not actively pursue loan accounts from individuals and families, believing that the relatively small size of most consumer loans and their relatively high default rate would make such lending unproved- table. Early in this century, however, bankers began to rely more heavily on consumers for deposits to help fund their large corporate loans. Then, too, heavy competition for business deposits and loans caused bankers increasingly to turn to the consumer as a potentially more loyal customer.

Bankers have long been asked for financial advice by their customers, particularly when it comes to the use of credit and the saving or investing of funds. Many banks today offer a wide range of financial advisory services, from helping to prepare tax returns and financial plans for individuals to consulting about marketing opportunities at home and abroad for their business customers.
Over the years, banks have found that some of the services they provide for themselves are also valuable for their customers. One of the most prominent examples is cash management services, in which a bank agrees to handle cash collections and disbursements for a business firm and to invest any temporary cash surpluses in short- term interest-bearing securities and loans until the cash is needed to pay bills. While banks tend to specialize mainly in business cash management services, there is a growing trend today toward offering similar services for consumers.
Many banks have moved aggressively to offer their business customers the option to purchase needed equipment through a lease arrangement in which the bank buys the equipment and rents it to the customer. Regulations originally required customers using equipment leasing services to make lease payments that would eventually cover the full cost of purchasing the rented equipment and to be responsible for any repairs and taxes incurred.
Increasingly, banks have become active in financing the start-up costs of new companies, particularly in high-tech industries. Because of the added risk involved in such loans, this is generally done through a venture capital firm, a subsidiary of a bank holding company such as Citigroup Venture, Inc. Bankers may also bring in other investors to help share the risk.
For many years, bankers have sold credit life insurance to their customers receiving loans, thus guaranteeing loan repayment if borrowers die or become disabled. Moreover, in the 19th and early 20th century, many bankers sold insurance and
26
provided financial advice to their customers, literally serving as the local community's all-around financial service store.
Bank trust departments are active in managing the retirement plans that most businesses make available to their employees, investing incoming funds and dispensing payments to qualified recipients who have reached retirement or become disabled.
Banks also sell deposit retirement plans (known as IRAs and Keoghs) to individuals holding these deposits until the funds are needed for income after retirement .
Allover the world the largest banks are seeking to become "financial department stores," hoping to fulfill all the financial service needs of their customers with one stop, becoming all-purpose financial firms. One of the biggest of all banking service targets in recent years, particularly in the United
States, has been dealing in securities, executing buy and sell orders for security trading customers (referred to as security brokerage services) and marketing new securities to raise funds for corporations and other institutions (referred to security under writing services.)
Concerned that many banks have offered toolow interest rates on traditional deposit accounts, many customers have come to demand socalled investment products from their banker, especially mutual fund accounts and annuities that offer the prospect of higher yields than are currently available on conventional bank deposits. These products also carry more risk. Annuities consist of long-term savings plans that promise the payment of a stream of income to the annuity holder beginning on a designated future date (such as at retirement). In contrast, mutual funds are professionally managed investment programs that acquire stocks, bonds, and other securities that appear to "fit" the funds' announced goals (such as to maximize income or to achieve long-term capital appreciation). Some banking firms have organized special subsidiary organizations to market these services (e.g., Citicorp's Investment Services) or entered into joint ventures with security brokers and dealers.
Bank today are following the footsteps of leading financial institutions all over the globe in offering merchant banking services to larger corporations. These services are officially defined as the temporary purchase of corporate
27
stock to aid the launching of a new business venture or to support the expansion of an existing company. Hence, a banker providing this service becomes a temporary stockholder and bears considerable risk that the stock purchased may decline in value. In practice, merchant banking services often encompass the identification of possible merger targets, providing strategic marketing advice, and offering hedging services to help customers manage risk, especially the risk of loss due to changing currency prices and interest rates.

Commercial Banks. All the offers provided by Private Commercial Banks are very beneficial for the customers. But in case of service benefit is not the alone factor that determines the level of satisfaction.
There are many other things that take control over the overall satisfaction. For instance, service having attractive offers may fail only because of rude behavior or carelessness of the provider. So it is very important to ensure other factors that are related with the success of the service. There are five major factors identified by the experts that are essential to assure the quality of better service that will lift the level of satisfaction. They are reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy and tangibles. These five factors determines the quality of interaction between customer and provider, the quality of Physical environment quality and out come quality of the service which leads the overall service to the position of excellence of quality.

There are some limitations of Nationalize Commercial Bank that’s why Nationalize Commercial
Banks offer fewer services than the Private Commercial Banks to public.Thats are under describe.
History shows that one of the first services offered by banks was currency exchanges, A bank stood ready to trade one form of currency, such as dollars, for another, such as
Euro or Yen, in return for a service fee. Such exchanges were important to travelers in the ancient world, as they are today, because the travelers’ survival and comfort depended on gaining access to the local currency of the country or city through which they were journeying. In today’s financial marketplace, trading in foreign currency is carried out primarily by the largest banks due to the risks involved and the expertise required carrying out such transactions.
Early in their history.
Bankers began discounting commercial notes; in effect making loans to local merchants who sold the debts
32
(accounts receivable) they held against their customers to a bank to raise cash quickly. It was a short step from discounting commercial notes to making direct loans to businesses for purchasing inventories of goods or for constructing new facilities.
One of the earliest sources of funds consisted of offering savings deposits, interest-bearing funds left with banks for a period of weeks, months, or years, sometimes bearing relatively high rates of interest. According to historical records, banks in ancient Greece paid as high as 16 percent in annual interest to attract savings deposits from wealthy patrons and then made loans to ship owners sailing the Mediterranean Sea at loan rates double or triple the interest rate that bankers were paying to their savings deposit customers.
During the middle Ages and the early years of the Industrial Revolution, the ability of bankers to mobilize large amounts of funds and make loans came to the attention of governments in Europe and America. Frequently, banks were chartered under the proviso that they would purchase government bonds with a portion of any deposits they received. This lesson was not lost on the fledgling American government during the Revolutionary War. During the Civil War,
Congress created a whole new federal banking system, agreeing to charter national banks provided these banks purchased government bonds, which were used to help fund that war.
The Industrial Revolution in Europe and the
United States ushered in new banking practices and services. Probably the most important of the new services developed during this period was the demand deposit, a checking account that permitted the depositor to write drafts in payment for goods and services that the bank had to honor immediately.
Offering demand deposits proved to be one of the industry's most important services because it significantly improved the efficiency of the payments process, making business transactions easier, faster, and safer. Now the checking account concept has been extended to the Internet and to so-called smart cards, which represent funds that can be spent electronically to pay for purchases of goods and services.
33
Automated Teller Machine (ATM), a new concept in modern banking, has already been introduced to facilitate subscribers. But only one Nationalize Commercial Bank
(NCB) offers this service.
Historically, most banks did not actively pursue loan accounts from individuals and families, believing that the relatively small size of most consumer loans and their relatively high default rate would make such lending unprof- itable.

This project paper based on the customer satisfaction level of Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCBs) and private commercial Bank in Bangladesh. After research we can see that customers of Private Commercial
Banks are more satisfied than the customers of Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCBs). And also the dissatisfaction level is high in the Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCBs). In spite of the satisfaction level is high in private commercial Bank but the all the customers are not completely satisfied. Because there are some factors in Private Commercial Banks that also impact on the customer satisfaction level. But there more problems in the Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCBs) that’s why customers are more dissatisfied in
Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCBs). We know Customer satisfaction is a very important thing in a Bank.
Every service business needs to productively define and measure customer satisfaction. That’s why customer satisfaction is on of the important factor to continue for banking activities.
