Internship Report
Executive Summary
part or objective of this repot is to find out the present level of customers
"-:"'c ion at Premier Bank and what should be done for further improvement.
- - e -cr;.- bank and financial institution it is very important to satisfy their current
_ '. mers and attract potential customers by providing new and innovative
es. That's why banks are changing their way of service for customers, recruit
employees and trained them about customer' s relationship management.
. - tis factory service may cause negative word of mouth about the company and
'- - - an be extremely detrimental because it can reinforce the customer' s feelings
:1 - negativism and spread that negative impression to other present and potential
tamers. To find out the level of customer satisfaction, I have chosen the
uestionnaire research methodology. Questionnaire of the Survey covered the
chnique, Process, People, Physical Evidence, Products and other issues that this
ank uses in providing their customer services. For time and cost limitation I have
ro limit the sample size to 51. Data has been analyzed through various statistical
methods like-Multiple Regression Analysis, Discriminant Analysis Wilkis Lamda,
Factor analysis etc. The major finding of the analysis is that present level of
satisfaction of the customers is 72.55%. Customers are satisfied with the manner
& etiquette of the employees, branch environment, online service, time to
complete a service etc, but less satisfied with the branch location, customer
reception, and product verities. At the end of the report some recommendations
regarding improvement of skill of the employees, selection of branch location,
online service facility enlargement, logistic support to faster the service,
promotional activities and more to improve the customer service and to remove
the problems that the bank has in customer services.
Bangladesh has achieved colossal augmentation in the service sector over the last
ouple of decades. This growth can be attributed to the accomplishment of the
banking sector over the course of this decade as one of the sources. Private Banks
are trying to break up the oldest method of banking service by introducing new
technologies and services to smooth the all kind of banking operations. Quality
Service and Customer Satisfaction are the key issues in Service Marketing. Being
a third generation and local bank, The Premier Bank Ltd has to compete with the
local and as well as Foreign banks. Thus, it is very much necessary to maintaining
a quality service, understanding the customer' s expectation, designing a customer
driven services and matching performance to promises to stay in the market and
make the customers more satisfied. So it is sometimes needed to measure the
customer satisfaction. As an intern I got that scope to find out the level of present
customer satisfaction of The Premier Bank Ltd, Uttara Branch, Dhaka.
The report is being prepared under direct supervision & guidelines of Associate
Professor Mr. S I Nusrat A Chaudhuary, Department of Business Administration,
East West University as a prerequisite for successfully completion of the BBA
program.
The survey for the study has been conducted on Current Customers of the Uttara
Branch, Dhaka, The Premier Bank Ltd where I have been working in. The analysis
and interpretation of the report have been done with the help of my academic
supervisor Associate Professor Mr. S I Nusrat A Chaudhuary, Department of
Business Administration, East West University.
1.4 OBJECTIVES:
• Sources of Data:
To carry out the proposed study data has been collected from two sources;
Primary sources and Secondary sources.
1 Primary data: Primary data for this study has been collected through
a well prepared structured questionnaire. Clients who came in the
branch to take the services are chosen for the Interview to collect data
2 Secondary data: Secondary data again are of two kinds, internal and
external. Internal secondary data has been collected from the
organization (Head Office) and from its brochures and annual reports of
different years. External secondary data are gathered from internet and
internship reports of other organizations.
• Questioning Process:
The questions are been asked after taking the service when they had some time
to feel free to express their ideas or by taking the prior permission about the
time that they are willing to spend for interview. I have questioned to the
respondent based on the questionnaire format without using the ambiguous
words.
• Interview Technique:
·1
I have followed the "Questionnaire" for the survey keeping III mind the
fo llowing advantages:
1 F ewer misunderstood questions and inappropriate responses
2 Fewer incomplete responses
3 Higher response rates
4 Easy to avoid biasness
5 Low cost
6 Easy to reach and take response
The data collection instrument was paper questionnaire and recorded the
responses with a pencil at the time of the survey.
• Sampling plan:
The outlined sampling plan is given as below-
3. Sample size: The sample SIze for the proposed survey was 5l.
'Convenience and Judgmental Sampling Method' is used to select these
respondents from the total customers of the branch as because the
sample size is too small.
" Factor Analysis- To find out the most important factors that make the
customer most satisfied.
There is only Three Major banking areas where the group is performing with high
reputation. These areas are:
Personal Banking

"Satisfaction" itself can refer to a number of different facts of the relationship with
a customer. For example, it can refer to any or all of the following:
Each industry could add to this list according to the nature of the business and the
-,
specific relationship with the customer. Customer 'satisfaction measurement
variables will differ depending on what type of satisfaction is being researched.
For example, manufacturers typically desire on-time delivery and adherence to
specifications, so measures of satisfaction taken by suppliers should include these
critical variables.
Clearly defining and understanding customer satisfaction can help any company
identify opportunities for product and service innovation and serve as the basis for
performance appraisal and reward systems. It can also serve as the basis for a
customer satisfaction surveying program that can ensure that quality improvement
efforts are properly focused on issues that are most important to the customer.
To satisfy the customer some factors are taken in to consideration by The Premier
Bank Ltd.
• Product / Service Features: Customer satisfaction IS influenced
significantly by the customer's evaluation of the product or service
features. The Premier Bank offers competitive better products and services
than the competitors. Low interest rate on loans products and better offer in
savings depository accounts. Free online service, less charge for Locker
facility, Less Service charge for account maintaining etc.
Customer satisfaction mostly depends on the Quality Service. Now we will look
how the bank provides quality service through the following quality service
dimensions.
• Reliability: The Premier Bank Ltd holds a prime and central focus in the
Bank's operation- "Service First". Thus the bank always tries to deliver
the proper service that it promised about the service outcomes and core
service attributes.
• Assurance: The employees of this bank always try to give the proper
guideline to the customer to get the most benefit from the bank.
Confidentiality of the customers is also strictly maintained. For example,
No information is given to any person (even spouse) other than account
holder without having any authorization, a telephonic authorization is taken
from the account holder for online cheque payment to bearer for the amount
Tk.l.OO Lac & above.

In the last few pages, I have discussed what the Premier Bank Ltd does to satisfY
.,
the customers. Now I would like to analysis what the customers really feel about
the bank's products, services, and environment.
4.2 VARIABLES:
Dependent Variable: "Customer satisfaction"
Independent Variables: Independent variables are selected based on the most
important Marketing Mix for the Service Marketing.

Where, Y denotes the dependent variable and the X IIn represent the independent
variables.
In brief, the hypotheses test according to multiple regression analysis can be stated
2
as, Ho: R2= 0, HI: R 0 *
Hypotheses Test:
The hypotheses assumed for the hypotheses test are
2 2
Ho:R =0,H 1:R *0
Following table is found from the regression analysis
Model Summary
Here, R2 = 0.664 which is grater than zero. We know, R2 = 0 means that there is no
correlation among the variables. But as our value is 0.664, which is greater than
zero, this indicates that there is a significant amount of correlation among the
variables. That is, the decision can be drawn that there exist some relationships
among the variables.

a. Dependent Variable: Satisfaction
Here the above coefficients indicate the relationships among the variables.
Following equation can be drawn from this table
Cs = 1.4 71 - 0.070 BL - 0.057 RC + 0.378 M&A - 0.078 TS - 0.099 PV+ 0.162 OQ + 0.419 E +
O.017C&!
Where,
Cs = Customer Satisfaction
BL = Branch Location
RC = Reception to Customer
M&T = Manner & Etiquette of the Employees,
TS = Time to Serve
PV = Product Verities,
OQ = Online Service Quality
E = Branch Environment
C&I = Charge & Interest
There are both positive and negative coefficients of the independent variables. The
positive coefficients indicate that they have a positIve relationship with the
dependent variable and the negative coefficients indicate that they have a negative
relationship with the dependent variable. Let's check how much each of the
independent variable has contributed to the Present Customer Satisfaction of
Premier Bank Ltd.
Branch Location has 7% negative contribution but on the other hand it has least
significance on the customer satisfaction, which means Customers either less
satisfied with the present location or they have given less emphasis on this factor
rather on the other variables.
Customers are also less satisfied with the reception, time to serve, Product
Varieties which is indicated by negative relationship of the variables.
Customers are pretty satisfied with the manner & etiquette, Branch Environment,
Competitive charge & Interest and online service quality of the Premier Bank.
According to this regression analysis the rating for the independent variables can
be made as mentioned in the following table:
The tables resulting from discriminant analysis include the within mean
correlation tables, ANOV A tables, test of significance tables, structured metric
tables, standardized canonical discriminant coefficient tables etc. There are some
values based on which the analysis is done. Among these values, most important
ones are Wilks' lambda, F ratio, Standardized Canonical Discriminant function
coefficient etc. Wilks' Lambda gives the categorization capability of the variables
while F ratio gives the significance of the variables and standardized canonical
discriminant function coefficient gives the relative importance of each of the
factors.
To convert the metric data into categorical data, the raw data was modified. The
response categories from 1 to 3 were assumed to be low response categories and
were assigned the number one in the SPSS variable view. Response categories
from 4 to 5 were assigned number two and response categories from 6 to 7 were
assigned number three in the SPSS variable view.
For the analysis of discrimination among the groups I selected the Wilks ' Lambda
Coefficient, F ratio and Standardized Canonical Discriminant Function
Coefficients. There are other measures based on which the analysis can be done.
But due to the simplicity of the project, these analyses are more than enough. The
main part of the analysis can be given in a tabular form as follows;
The value of Wilks' Lambda is least for Manner & Etiquette. As we know the
lower the value the higher the ability to discriminate, so Manner & Etiquette has
the highest discriminating power among all the independent variables. Thus in a
service organization like Bank, Manner & Etiquette of the Employees are most
powerful factor to satisfy customers.
From the above table, the Value of Wilks' Lambda can be arranged from lower to
relatively higher as- Branch Environment, Online Service Quality, Time to Serve
Charge & Interest, Reception to Customer, Product Verities and last of all Branch
Location. So from the viewpoint of the present customers of the Bank, it is clear
that customers have given most emphasis on the Branch environment, afterwards
From the table of group means, it can be seen that, only promotion and
appreciation have a lower F value. This means those have a low significance. We
can also see from the significance table that its probability of type 1 error is very
high, almost 89.70% and 27.00% respectively. So, Branch Location and Product
Verities do not have the proper discriminating ability. Manner & Etiquette of the
Employees has the highest significance as its F ratio value is much higher than the
theoretical value.
After analysis of collected data some useful observation' were found. The findings
are based on a survey comprising responds of 51 clients of the bank' s Uttara
Branch. The observations are given below:
• Customer satisfaction level of the Branch of the Premier Bank Limited is
satisfactory
• Most of the clients are satisfied with the overall service of Uttara branch,
which is a good sign for The Premier Bank Limited
• Maximum numbers of the customers are either satisfied with the present
branch location or they are not given emphasis on this factor
• Reception of customers is not up to the mark of the branch. Customer wants
more attentive and courteous reception
• Online service is somewhat satisfactory and also required some additional
service to make the service more meaningful to customers
• Many customers wanted better services like Foreign Banks
• Many clients of this branch expect to see the existing servIce level
continued without loss of quality for long
• More logistic support is required for employees in the bank to reduce the
time to complete a service
• Customers want more product and service verities. A TM and Debit Card
facility with more ATM booth and other type of bonus schemes.
c. Customers are becoming choosier day by day. Most of the private banks are
giving near about the same services and products. So customers are
selecting those banks which are giving more benefited products and
Beside the above recommendations, The Premier Bank Ltd should also take into
consideration the following activities to enhance the level of present customers
satisfaction and to attract the and potential customers.
lt1 The bank should have the scope for various training programs for
increasing the efficiency of employees to provide better service to
customers.
5.3 CONCLUSION:
Customer is in the core of everything that The Premier Bank does. The PBL tries
to upgrade and realign products and services regularly to fulfill customer
expectation. The delivery standard are constantly monitored and improved to
assure the highest satisfaction.
"Service First" is the motto of The Premier Bank Limited. Whether in personal,
Corporate, Treasury or Trade transactions The Premier Bank is committed to
provide the best. Meeting the demand of the discerning customers is not the sole
objective of The Premier bank. PBL endeavor to deliver a quality that makes every
transaction a pleasurable experience.
The Management should take steps to fill the gap between the service and the
satisfaction level of the customers. To fill this gap, every corner of the system
should be in continuous observation to identify the faults and so that those can be
corrected properly. This study found out some of the faults and lacking of the PBL
services, and also some demand of the customers to the bank and their
perceptions, by which some fruitful measurement and ratification steps can be
made to keep the existing customers as well as to invite the potential customers to
join with PBL.
