Executive Summary
The banking sector has been dominating the economic development of a country by mobilizing the
saving from the general people and channeling those saving for investment and thus economic
development and growth. To satisfy the demand as well as to improve the commercial banking service
in our country, Trust Bank Limited, a scheduled bank, was incorporated to initiate its operation to
play a vital role in the socio-economic development of the country.
The report is originated as a result of my internship program which I have done as a requirement of
the BBA program. This report is completed based on my three months internship at Trust Bank
Limited. This is an orientation report that contains the real-life day-to-day working experience of
different tasks in the Credit Department of Trust Bank Limited, Khawja Gharib Newaz Avenue
Branch, Uttara, Dhaka.
The core function of a bank is performed by the credit department of the bank. In this case, the
relationship of bank customers is that of the credit and debtor. If a bank’s credit management is not
good then the bank will never achieve its proper goals. The report is based on my critical observation
while working in the credit department of Trust Bank Limited. The objective of this study is to
analyze the credit policy, the client’s perception towards the performance of Trust Bank, financial
performance regarding credit, etc. While preparing this report I have focused on Loans and Advance
and tried to reveal the insights of the consumer loans and advance services of the bank.
Simultaneously efforts have been made to provide an in-depth analysis of the procedural of Consumer
Loans and advance and performance of different loans and advance products of Trust Bank Limited.
To prepare this report both primary and secondary sources of data have been used. In this report first,
I have described the organizational overview of Trust Bank Limited to increase knowledge about
the bank. So, I have also included a brief overview of Trust bank, Khawja Gharib Newaz Avenue
Branch, Uttara, Dhaka. Then I have included an overall idea about Credit Department and credit risk
management practices in Trust Bank Limited. I have analyzed the performance of the Credit Risk
Management of Trust Bank to give a practical example. In the last phase after examining the overall
process and analyzing data, I gave a list of my findings that Trust Bank Limited is currently facing
which might be helpful to identify the challenges, thus reduce disadvantages and improve the services
very prudential for bank performance.

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study


The banking system plays a very important role in the economic life of the nation. The
health of the economy is closely related to the soundness of its banking system. In a
developing country like Bangladesh, the banking system as a whole plays a vital role in the
progress of economic development. A bank is just like a heart in the economic structure
and the capital provided by it is like blood in it. As long as blood is in circulation the organs
will remain sound and healthy. If the blood is not supplied to any organ then that part would
become useless. So, if the finance is not provided to the agriculture sector or industrial
sector, it will be destroyed Loan facility provided by banks works as an incentive to the
producer to increase the production. Banking is now an essential part of our economic
system. Modern trade and commerce would almost be impossible without the availability
of suitable banking services.
First of all, banking promotes savings. All manner of people, from the ordinary laborers
and workers to the rich landowners and businessmen, can keep their money safely in banks
and saving centers.
Secondly, banking promotes investments. Banks easily invest the money they get in the
industry, agriculture, and trade. They either invest it directly or advance loans to other
investors.
Thirdly, it is most through banks that foreign trade is carried on. Whether we export or
import, it is through banks that money is transferred from one country to another. For
example, bills of exchange and letters of credit are the regular ways banks use to transfer
money. Several recent studies, however, indicate that the banking sector plays a more
important role than it was believed earlier.

term credit, long term credit, and consumer credit.
This report has been prepared through extensive discussion with bank employees and with
the customers. While preparing this report, I had a great opportunity to have an in-depth
knowledge of all the credit management activities practiced by the “Trust Bank Ltd.” It
also helped me to acquire a first-hand perspective of a leading private Bank in Bangladesh.

1.6 Limitations of the Study


From the beginning to the end, the study has been conducted to make it a complete and
truthful one. However, many problems appeared in the way of conducting the study.
During the study, it was not possible to visit the whole area covered by the bank
although the financial statements and other information regarding the study have been
considered.
The study considers the following limitations:
 Lack of experience because of it being my first internship period;
 Lack of in-depth knowledge and analytical ability for writing such a report;
 There was some lack of information on their website which created a
problem for me in preparing the report;
 All the branches of the sample bank were not physically visited;
 Non-availability of some latest and preceding data;
 One of the major limitations was the lack of required data and information
since the bank did not want to disclose some of their information because of
confidentiality.
I was placed in various departments within (3) months of time and working as a regular
employee. With all of this limitation, I tried my best to make this report as best as possible.
The readers are requested to consider these limitations while reading and justifying any
part of my study.

3.0 Theoretical Framework

3.1 Risk Management


Risk management refers to the practice of identifying potential risks in advance, analyzing
them, and taking precautionary steps to reduce/curb the risk.
In short, risk management refers to the practice of identifying potential risks in advance,
analyzing them, and taking precautionary steps to reduce/curb the risk. In the world of
finance, when an entity makes an investment decision, it exposes itself to several financial
risks. The quantum of such risks depends on the type of financial instrument. These
financial risks might be in the form of high inflation, volatility in capital markets, recession,
bankruptcy, etc.
For example, a fixed deposit is considered a less risky investment. On the other hand, equity
investment is considered a risky venture.

3.2 Risk Management Process


The six steps of the risk management process: identity, analyze and prioritize, plan and
schedule, track and report, control, and learn has been illustrated through the following
diagram. It is important to understand that the process of managing each risk goes through
all of these steps at least once and often cycles through numerous times. Also, each risk
has its timeline, so multiple risks might be in each step at any point in time.

A brief introduction of the risk management process is stated below;

1. Identifying Risk – Risk identification allows individuals to identify risks so that


the operations staff becomes aware of potential problems. Not only should risk
identification be undertaken as early as possible, but it also should be repeated
frequently.
2. Analyze and Prioritize – Risk analysis transforms the estimates or data about
specific risks that developed during risk identification into a consistent form that
can be used to make decisions around prioritization. Risk prioritization enables
operations to commit resources to manage the most important risks.
3. Plan and Schedule – Risk planning takes the information obtained from risk
analysis and uses it to formulate strategies, plans, change requests, and actions. Risk
scheduling ensures that these plans are approved and then incorporated into the
standard day-to-day processes and infrastructure.
4. Track and Report – Risk tracking monitors the status of specific risks and the
progress in their respective action plans. Risk tracking also includes monitoring the
probability, impact, exposure, and other measures of risk for changes that could
alter priority or risk plans and ultimately the availability of the service. Risk
reporting ensures that the operations staff, service manager, and other stakeholders
are aware of the status of top risks and the plans to manage them.
5. Control – Risk control is the process of executing risk action plans and their
associated status reporting. Risk control also includes initiating change control
requests when changes in risk status or risk plans could affect the availability of the
service or service level agreement (SLA).
6. Learn – Risk learning formalizes the lessons learned and uses tools to capture,
categorize, and index that knowledge in a reusable form that can be shared with others.

3.3 Credit Risk


Credit risk refers to the risk that a borrower will default on any type of debt by failing to
make payments which the entity is obligated to do. The risks are primarily that of the lender
and include lost principal and interest, disruption to cash flows, and increased collection
costs. The loss may be complete or partial and can arise in many circumstances. Credit risk
covers the inability of a borrower or counter-party to honor commitments under an
agreement and any such failures, which have an adverse impact on the financial
performance of the Bank. The Bank is exposed to credit risk through lending and capital
market activities.
To reduce the lender’s credit risk, the lender may perform a credit check on the prospective
borrower, may require the borrower to take out appropriate insurance, such as mortgage
insurance, or seek security or guarantees of third parties, besides other possible strategies.
In general, the higher the risk, the higher will be the interest rate that the debtor will be
asked to pay on the debt.

3.4 Types of Credit Risk


Credit risks are classified into the following types-

1. Credit default risk – The risk of loss arising from a debtor being unlikely to
pay its loan obligations in full or the debtor is more than 90 days past due on any
material credit obligation. Default risk may impact all credit-sensitive
transactions, including loans, securities, and derivatives.
2. Concentration risk – The risk associated with any single exposure or group
of exposures with the potential to produce large enough losses to threaten a
bank’s core operations. It may arise in the form of single-name concentration or
industry concentration.
3. Country risk – The risk of loss arising from a sovereign state freezing foreign
currency payments (transfer/conversion risk) or when it defaults on its obligations
(sovereign risk)

3.5 Credit Analysis


When a customer requests a loan, bank officers analyses all available information to
determine whether the loan meets the bank’s risk-return objectives. Credit analysis is
essentially a default risk analysis in which a loan officer attempts to evaluate a borrower’s
ability and willingness to repay. The banker has to identify three distinct areas of
commercial risk analysis related to the following questions
 Is the borrower Creditworthy?
 Can the loan agreement be properly structured and documented?
 Can the lender perfect its claims against the assets or earnings of the
customer that may be pledged as collateral?
Bankers look into key risk factors or qualitative analysis which has been classified
according to the five Cs of credit

1. Character:
Character refers to the borrower’s honesty and trustworthiness. A banker must
assess the borrower’s integrity and subsequent intent to repay. If there are any
serious doubts, the loan should be rejected.
2. Capital:
Capital refers to the borrower’s wealth position measured by financial soundness
and market standing. It helps cushion loses and reduces the likelihood of
bankruptcy.
3. Capacity:
Capacity involves both borrower’s legal standing and management’s expertise in
maintaining operations so the firm or individual can repay its debt obligations.
Under capacity, an individual must be able to generate income to repay the cash.
4. Condition:
A condition refers to the economic environment or industry-specific supply,
production, and distribution factors influencing a firm’s operations. Repayment
sources of cash often vary with the business cycle or consumer demand.

lOMoARcPSD|16041961

5. Collateral:
Collateral is the lender’s secondary source of repayment or security in the case of
default. Having an asset that the bank can seize and liquidate when a borrower
defaults reduce loss, but does not justify lending proceeds when the credit
decision is originally made.
6. Cash:
The feature of any loan application centers on if the borrower has the ability to
generate enough cash in the form of cash flow to repay the loan.

3.6 Credit Risk Management


While financial institutions have faced difficulties over the years for a multitude of reasons,
the major cause of serious banking problems continues to be directly related to lack of
credit standards for borrowers and counterparties, poor portfolio risk management, or a
lack of attention to changes in the economy or other circumstances that can lead to a
deterioration in the credit standing of a bank’s counterparties.
Credit risk is most simply defined as the potential that a bank borrower or counterparty
will fail to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed terms. The goal of credit risk
management is to maximize a bank’s risk-adjusted rate of return by maintaining credit risk
exposure within acceptable parameters. Banks need to manage the credit risk inherent in
the entire portfolio as well as the risk in individual credits or transactions. Banks should
also consider the relationship between credit risk and other risks. The effective
management of credit risk is a critical component of a comprehensive approach to risk
management and essential to the long-term success of any banking organization.
The sound practices set out in the document specially address the following areas:
 Establishing an appropriate credit risk environment;
 Operating under a sound credit granting process;
 Maintaining an appropriate credit administration, measurement, and monitoring
process ensuring adequate controls over credit risk.

The above-shown flowchart is more or less followed by all the banks and financial
institutions of Bangladesh while disbursing a loan after receiving loan seeking
application by the applicant.

3.7 Loan Monitoring, Control of Securities and


Compliance
3.7.1 Loan Monitoring
The monitoring starts when a copy of the sanction or approval letter is received in this
connection. This extensive measure is taken to strictly comply with the terms and
conditions stipulated in the sanction advice.
Besides the monitoring and follow-up of the existing, loan accounts need to be expedited
with a view to finding out timely measures if required any.
Steps -1
 Monitoring starts at the time of receiving an application from our valued client.
 After receiving the application branch should check whether the purpose is
clearly mentioned or not on the application
 Then obtain all the relevant documents of the loan that would serve the client’s
purpose as per the process guideline.

lOMoARcPSD|16041961

Steps -2
 Examine all documents to check their authenticity.
 Immediately contact with the initiator or branches if further information is
needed
 After getting all the information and charged documents are in order, an
approval process from the competent authority is needed
3.7.2 Control of Securities and Compliance
Control means checking up the result whether there is any deviation of actual outcome
from the standard result which has been set up earlier and taking necessary corrective
actions. For controlling the security and compliance of the same, the bank normally uses a
loan documentation checklist which is the actual parameter of checking the necessary
documents.

3.8 Non-Performing Loan


All Loans, Advances, Bills Discounted, etc. which are not paid or renewed at maturity date
are all to be treated as “Non-Performing Loan”. If partial payments are made to a loan
which is in “NPL”, the unpaid amount to be remaining in “NPL” until fully liquidated.
When the Bank is notified that a borrower who has a “Demand Loan” is deceased or when
the Bank demands payment from a “Demand Loan” borrower, the loan must be placed in
the “NPL” until paid. When an agreement is made between the borrower and the Bank,
specifying that reductions will be made on a “Demand Loan” or “Term Loan” at specified
times, and if reductions are not made accordingly, the loan may be considered as “NPL”
The Non-Performing Loan account will not be treated as classified account as substandard,
doubtful, or bad & loss until and unless the loan is classified as per CL circulars of
Bangladesh Bank.
“All classified loans are Non-Performing Loans (NPL) but All Non-Performing Loans
(NPL) are not classified Loans.”

3.9 Loan Classification


Loan classification is a process by which the risk or loss potential associated with the loan
accounts of a bank on a particular date is identified and quantified to measure accurately
the level of reserves to be maintained by the bank to provide for the probable loss on
account those risky loans. All types of loans of a bank fall into the following four sections
 Unclassified: Repayment is regular;
 Substandard: Repayment is irregular but has a reasonable prospect of
improvement;
 Doubtful Debt: Unlikely to be repaid but special collection efforts may result in
partial recovery;
 Bad/Loss Debt: The loan which has very little chance of recovery.

5.0 Credit Approval Process of Trust Bank Ltd.

5.1 Borrower Selection Process on TBL


Lending means deployment of credit and all loans contain some degree of risk involved in
the whole process. A borrower is a party in a loan agreement that receives money or other
instruments from a lender and promises to repay the lender in accordance with agreed
terms. So, the selection of borrowers is an important component of the credit-granting
process. Professional loan officers analyze financial and non-financial information of
proposed borrowers and set preferred levels of collateral and covenants. Borrower selection
is associated with the amount of information examined, lenders' risk preferences, and years
of lending experience.
So, borrower selection is very much important to minimize the risks of lending as wrong
borrower selection may lead to unexpected situations among the Bank, the depositors, and
the borrower based upon trust.

5.2 Credit Analysis Process of Trust Bank Limited


Credit Analysis is an integral part of the lending process in Trust Bank Ltd. Credit analysis
is of utmost importance for the lending process to be successful. Proper credit analysis
helps to avoid risks in the lending process and brings transparency. Credit analysis is
generally done at the branch level of the lending process and the results and findings are
evaluated in the head office.
Trust Bank Limited uses multiple methods or techniques to assess the prospective borrower
as well as the project in question. These techniques include analysis of
1. CIB Report;
2. Appraisal of Project Feasibility;
3. Lending Risk Analysis;
4. Financial Spreadsheet Analysis (“Y” score and “Z” score)
5.2.1 Evaluation of CIB Report
Bangladesh Bank provides Credit Information Bureau (CIB) Report to banks and other
financial institutions. It contains the following information
 Debtor/borrower information (outstanding loan balance and loan classification
status), owner’s information;
 Group/Related business information;
 Credit Exposure Matrix/financial information
 Third-party guarantor’s information.
Trust Bank uses CIB Report as part of its credit appraisal procedure. It serves as a useful
tool to assess borrower’s credit standing and loan repayment behavior.

lOMoARcPSD|16041961

5.2.2 Analysis of Project Feasibility


In order to obtain a credit, the prospective borrower has to apply through a request for a
credit limit form in the format provided by Prime Bank. This form, in effect, serves as a
project feasibility report. It covers the following aspects of the project
 Identification of the Project and the Promoters;
 Project Organization and Management;
 Technical & Marketing Aspects of the Project;
 Project costs and Financial Aspects of the Project i.e. BEP & Financial Ratio
Analysis;
 Socio-Economic aspects of the project.

5.2.3 Lending Risk Analysis


Lending comprises a very large portion of a Bank’s total assets and forms the backbone of
the bank. Interest in lending constitutes the highest proportion of the income of a bank. As
such, credit quality remains the prime indicator of a bank’s success. The good lending
practice is very important for the profitability and success of a bank.
The Financial Sector Reform Project (FSRP) designed a Lending Risk Analysis (LRA)
package which provides a systematic procedure for analyzing and quantifying the potential
credit risk. Bangladesh Bank has made it mandatory for Commercial Banks to use Lending
Risk Analysis for evaluating credit proposals amounting to TK 1.00 crore and
above. Lending Risk Analysis has divided the various risks into two groups namely,
Business Risk and Security Risk

1) Business Risk
a) Industry Risk
i) Supply Risk
ii) Sales Risk
b) Company Risk
i) Company Position Risk
 Performance Risk
 Resilience Risk
ii) Management Risk
 Management Competence Risk
 Management Integrity Risk
2) Security Risk
a) Security Control Risk
b) Security Cover Risk

5.3 The Lending Process


The lending procedure starts with building up a relationship with customers through
account opening. The stages of credit approval are done both at the branches and the Head
Office levels.
The lending procedure as observed in Trust Bank Ltd. is described below in sequential
order.

lOMoARcPSD|16041961

5.3.1 Application from the Credit Applicant


A loan procedure formally starts with a loan application from a client who must have an
account with the Bank. At first, it starts at the branch level. The branch receives an
application from the client for a loan facility. In the application, the client mentions what
type of credit facility he/she wants from the bank including his/her personal information
and business information. The branch Manager or the Officer-in-charge of the credit
department conducts the initial interview with the customer.
5.3.2 Obtaining the CIB Report
After receiving the loan application from the client, the bank sends a letter to the Credit
Information Bureau of Bangladesh Bank for obtaining a credit inquiry report of the
customer. This report is called the CIB (Credit Information Bureau) report.

5.3.3 Collection of Documents


If Bangladesh Bank sends a positive CIB report on that particular borrower and if the Bank
thinks the prospective borrower to be a good one, then the bank scrutinizes the documents
 In the case of the corporate client, financial documents of the company for the last
three to five years. If the company is a new one, projected financial data for the
same duration is required;
 The personal net worth of the borrower(s);
 In this stage, the bank will ensure that the documents are properly filled in and duly
signed. Credit-in-charge of the relevant branch is responsible for enquiring about
the ins
and outs of the customer’s business by discussing it with them.
5.3.4 Scrutinizing Documents
Bank officials of the credit department inspect the project for which the loan is applied.
Here project existence, its distance from the bank, monitoring cost and possibilities,
etc. are examined. If the proposed amount exceeds Tk. 10.00 lac, a Senior Officer from the
Head Office performs an on-site inspection of the project.

5.3.5 Analysis of Collected Information


Any loan proposal needs to be evaluated on the basis of financial information provided by
the loan applicant. Financial spreadsheet analysis which consists of a series of quantitative
techniques is employed to analyze the risks associated with a particular loan and to judge
the financial soundness and worthiness of the borrower. Besides, Lending Risk Analysis is
also undertaken by the bank to measure the borrower’s ability to pay considering various
risks associated with the loan

5.3.6 Legal Opinion


Obtaining legal opinion on the collateral provided by the applicant, whether those are
properly submitted and are regular and up-to-date. Else, those documents will be asked to
regularize by the applicant.

lOMoARcPSD|16041961

5.3.7 Credit Proposal


The branch starts processing the loan at this stage. Based on the analysis (credit analysis)
done by the branch, the branch prepares a loan proposal. The proposal contains the
following important and relevant information
 Name of the borrower;
 Nature of credit;
 Purpose of credit;
 The extent of credit;
 Collateral Margin;
 Rate of interest;
 Repayment schedule;
 Validity etc.

5.3.8 Collection of Charged Documents


After issuing the sanction advice, the bank collects necessary charge documents. Charge
documents vary on the basis of types of facilities, types of collateral, etc.
5.3.9 Collection of Charged Documents
Finally, the loan is disbursed by the branch through a loan account in the name of the
borrower, and monitoring of the loan starts formally.

5.4 Credit Approval Process


The process which Trust Bank Limited goes through for the approval of credit are stated
below-

5.4.1 Pre-Approval Stage at Branch


The credit proposals are generally routed through the Branches. The Loan Processing
Department at the branch level prepares the Credit Proposals through necessary evaluation
and analysis by fulfilling TBL‟s lending criteria, ensuring perfection of the security for the
loans, and to provide all information required on the creditworthiness of the clients.
Proposals, which do not meet TBL’s lending criteria, are not entertained generally without
particular merit and justification of the case. The credit proposals are signed by the Chief
Manager and the departmental head of credit. Then, the Credit Proposals with a specific
recommendation by the Branch are sent to the Head Office addressing Credit Risk
Management (CRM) Division for the pre-sanction evaluation and subsequent approval.

5.4.2 Approval Process at Head Office


Credit Risk Management (CRM) Division consists of Corporate Credit Unit, Small &
Medium Enterprise Department & Retail Banking Unit for processing & approval of credit
facilities matching with the requirement:
Upon receiving credit proposals from the branches, the respective department processes
the proposals and makes in-depth analysis taking different risk factors into consideration
for approval or rejection. It takes all the necessary measures to ensure quality assets. The
respective department finds out all the positive and negative sides of each credit proposal

23 | P a g e

Downloaded by Mohammad Tajwar Rash Toky (1710086@iub.edu.bd)


lOMoARcPSD|16041961

recommended by the branch credit officers or relationship managers. This department


ensures that the proposal has been analyzed as well as prepared complying all the necessary
rules, regulations, circulars, guidelines and recommendation has been made in conformity
with the Credit Policy, Guidelines and Credit Norm of our Bank, Bangladesh Bank, and
any other agency. It also ensures that the recommendation falls under the purview of the
bank’s lending cap, industry preference, liquidity preference, tenure preference, and other
considerable factors. If the result of the analysis is found to be very satisfactory, then a
memo on the proposals is prepared for approval from the delegated body with the opinion
of the department.
Upon the recommendation of the respective department, the proposal is placed to the
competent delegated authority as per discretionary power viz. Head of CRM, Deputy
Managing Director, Managing Director, the Executive Committee of the Board of
Directors, or the Board of Directors for final approval.
Upon approval as per delegation, Sanction Advice is prepared to stipulate all the standard
terms and conditions to the respective branches and the copy is forwarded to the
Monitoring & Control Department.

5.5 Conveying Credit Rejection


In the case of all borrowers seeking loans, the bank would convey in writing, the main
reason which, in the opinion of the bank after due consideration, has led to a rejection of
the loan applications. In case the proposal does not meet the internal risk parameters of the
bank, the borrower would be intimated accordingly.

5.6 Loan Applications and Appraisal under


Syndication
In the case of lending under a syndication arrangement, the bank would endeavor to evolve
procedures to complete appraisal of proposals in a time-bound manner to the extent
feasible, and communicate its decisions on financing or otherwise within a reasonable time,
in coordination with other members of the syndicate.

5.7 Disbursement of Loans including changes in terms


and conditions
The bank would ensure timely disbursement of loans sanctioned in conformity with the
terms and conditions governing such sanctions. It would give notice of any change in the
terms and conditions including interest rates, service charges, etc. Terms and conditions
are revised as per prior agreement with the customer, the process for which is covered in
the sanction letter duly accepted by the customer on the loan agreement.

5.8 Conveying Credit limit and terms& Conditions


Loan closings represent the end of an approval process and the beginning of a relationship
process, which involves many different activities on the part of borrower and lender, which
include, among other processes, repayment, monitoring, and possibly collection activity.
All new loans and facilities must be evidenced by a signed agreement which is a contract
between the lender and the borrower. A borrower should know precisely what he is
receiving; how the loan is structured; how the bank intends to monitor and how it will

24 | P a g e

Downloaded by Mohammad Tajwar Rash Toky (1710086@iub.edu.bd)


lOMoARcPSD|16041961

enforce any special terms and conditions of the contract. Also, under the terms of the loan
agreement, the borrower acknowledges its responsibility to promptly advise the bank about
any inability to repay contractually and also of any material changes in circumstances that
could give rise to an event of default in an agreement.
5.9 Creation of charges on Securities and its Implications
For the sound lending procedure, the following points should be kept in view:
a) Judicious selection of Customers
b) Purpose
c) Safety
d) Security
e) Liquidity
f) Adequate Return (Profitability)
g) Supervision
h) National/ Social Interest
i) Credit Policy of Bangladesh

It is to be remembered that the Bank is the custodian of public money and as such we must
be judicious, careful, and selective while lending out the depositor’s money to ensure
timely recovery. The deciding factors for recovery of loans are a selection of the right type
of borrowers, end-use of credits, and effective follow-up and proper supervision.
5.9.1 Securities
Securities may primarily be divided into two categories as under;
 Primary Security
 Collateral Security
The assets created by the borrower from the credit facilities granted by the bank form the
primary security for the bank advance as a matter of rule. The bank invariably obtains a
charge over those assets. Similarly, other assets on which the advance is primarily based
even if it is not created from the credit facilities granted by the bank will also be taken as
primary security.
In some cases where primary security is not considered adequate or the charge on the
security is open the bank may insist on additional security to collaterally secure advances
granted by it. Such securities are termed as collateral securities. Collateral security may
either be tangible or third- party guarantees may also be accepted.
Note: Floating assets are not permanent and these are ever-changing assets that change
depending on the business e.g. cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, finished
products, goods in the process of manufacturing, raw material, supplies, etc. Fixed assets
are those which are fixed in nature like plant/factory, machinery, building, land, etc.
(Fiedler)
5.9.2 Charging of Securities
While talking about charging securities, we basically mean charging tangible securities.
Tangible security is something that can be realized from the sale or transfer. Shares,

25 | P a g e

lOMoARcPSD|16041961

inventory, land, machinery, furniture, vehicles, life policies, bills, savings instruments, etc.
are examples of tangible securities.
Security is obtained by the bank as an additional cover against default by the borrower in
repayment of the bank's dues. Charging of security means making such security available
to the bank and involves certain formalities. Charging should be legal and perfect so that it
is possible to realize the security if such a need arises. In order to perfect a claim on a
tangible asset offered as security, we need to establish Bank’s charge by obtaining proper
charge documents duly executed.
For example, if a borrower offers a pledge of his inventory as security against a loan, we
need to obtain a letter of pledge executed by the borrower. So, a pledge is a kind of charge
applied to certain kinds of assets offered as security. Similarly, there are other modes of
charging securities, applicable to different kinds of securities.
There are 7 different modes of charging security as under:

1. Pledge:
Pledge is a bailment of goods as security for payment of debt or performance of a
promise. In another definition it says that bailment is the delivery of goods by one
person to another for some purpose, under a contract that goods shall, when the
purpose is according, be returned or otherwise disposed of according to the
directions of the person delivering them.
So, a pledge may be in respect of goods, stocks & shares, documents of title to
goods, or any other moveable assets. Possession of goods is important in a contract
of pledge. A pledge is said to be created when the goods are handed over by the
borrower to the lender with the intention of their being treated as a security for the
repayment of the loan.
The pledge has a special interest in the goods pledged and has a right to retain the
goods until his claims are fully satisfied. If the borrower is in default in payment of
the debt against which goods are pledged, the lender may sell the goods held under
pledge as security on giving the borrower reasonable notice of sale. The document
executed to establish a contract of the pledge is called a Letter of Pledge.
2. Hypothecation:
Hypothecation is a charge against property for an amount of debt where neither
ownership nor possession is passed to the creditor.
In hypothecation, the goods remain in the possession of the borrower and are
equitably charged to the lender under a document signed by the borrower. The
borrower binds himself under hypothecation agreement to give possession of the
goods to the lender when called upon to do so. After possession is handed over to
the lender, the charge is converted from hypothecation to pledge. Hypothecation
being only an equitable charge on moveable assets without possession, the facility
is granted only to parties of undoubted means with the highest-integrity. However,
in the case of hypothecation advance to a limited company, the charge has to be
compulsorily filed for registration with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies
under the relevant section of the Companies Act, 1994. However, due to the
underlying risks of making advances purely on a hypothecation basis, lenders

26 | P a g e

lOMoARcPSD|16041961

usually prefer to obtain adequate collateral security in addition to the hypothecated


goods or assets
3. Mortgages:
A mortgage is the transfer of an interest in specific immovable property for the
purpose of securing the payments of money advanced by way of loan, an existing
or future debt, or performance of an engagement which may give rise to a pecuniary
liability. The transferor is called a mortgagor, the transferee a mortgagee, and the
principal money and interest of which payment is secured for the time being arc
called the mortgage money, and the instrument by which the transfer is effected is
called a mortgage deed.
4. Registered Mortgage:
When a mortgagor executes a deed of mortgage in favor of a lender and the deed is
registered with Sub-Registrar's office, the mortgage thus created is called a
registered mortgage.
Banks usually prefer a registered mortgage as the encumbrance on the property is
registered and it will come in the notice if a search is made before anyone considers
accepting a transfer of right/interest in the property. Notwithstanding, any
subsequent mortgage or sale transaction registered will be effective subject to
redemption of the charge by the first mortgagee.
The mortgagor has a right of redemption on payment of the debt after it has become
due. However, a mortgage does not automatically give the right to sell the property
to the Bank in case of a borrower’s default. It is given through the Irrevocable
General Power of Attorney executed by the owner.
5. Assignment:
Assignment means the transfer of a right, property, or debt by one person to another
person. The person transferring the right is known as the assignor and the person to
whom the right is transferred is known as the assignee. The assignment may be
legal in which case the assignor must give written notice of the assignment stating
the name and address of the assignee to the debtor or may he equitable where no
such notice is sent. This form of charge is generally adopted for charging of book
debts, monies due from Government (supply bills) and life insurance policies, etc.
Banks generally go in for legal assignments and insist on obtaining an
acknowledgment of assignments from the debtor.
6. Set-Off:
Set-off is the right of combining of accounts between a debtor and a creditor so as
to arrive at a net balance payable to one or the other. Set off in relation to the bank
means his right to apply the credit balance in the customer's account towards the
liquidation of debit balance in another account of the customer provided both the
accounts are maintained by him in the same capacity. The right may not be
considered as absolute and the bank may be required to give a notice for exercising
his right to set-off. The right of set-off can be applied by the bank only if the
following conditions are met:
(a) The liability of the borrower is for a sum which is certain,
(b) The repayment of debt is due,
(c) Both the accounts are held by the customer in the same capacity.

27 | P a g e

lOMoARcPSD|16041961

The right of set-off should, however, not be exercised arbitrarily, and notice for
combining the accounts must invariably be served by the bank on the customer.
7. Lien:
Lien means the right of the creditor to retain the goods or securities of the debtor,
which are in his possession until the debt due from the debtor is paid. It does not
require any specific agreement to support this right. The lien may be general which
confers the right to retain any goods for a general balance of the account or it may
be a particular lien where goods can be retained by the creditor for a particular debt
only. The person exercising general lien has only a right to retain the goods till the
dues are paid and may not be able to sell those goods.
The right of the banks to the general lien is, however, considered on a different
footing and banks have a general lien on all securities deposited with them as
bankers by a customer unless there be an express contract or circumstances that
show an implied contract, inconsistent with the lien. A banker’s lien is thus more
than a general lien, it is an implied pledge. The lien can be exercised on bills and
cheque deposited for collection, dividend warrants received by the banker as a
mandate from the customer, securities left with the banker after a particular loan
has been paid. The banker’s lien, however, does not extend to:
(i) Securities or valuables lying in the locker rented to the customer.
(ii) Securities deposited upon a particular trust.
(iii) Securities deposited to secure a specific loan.

No specific letter of lien agreement is necessary as the banks enjoy the right of lien
under the Contract Act. However, in some cases, the bank may obtain a specific
letter of lien so that the borrower is not able to contend later that the securities were
deposited by him for a specific purpose inconsistent with the lien.

6.0 Evaluation of Credit Performance of TBL

6.1 Quantitative Analysis


Under credit analysis Bank also does Quantitative analysis which refers to the analysis of
financial statement ratios to know the past performance of a company.
Mainly the analysis has been used for expressing the relationship among selected items of
financial statement data, and this relationship is expressed in terms of a percentage, a rate,
or a simple proportion.
Single ratio analysis cannot provide very meaningful interpretations so in this report I have
calculated ratios over the five periods of time and are then compared to the base year with
TBL.
To understand the present situation of TBL I tried to describe some important ratios from
the last five-year data that are illustrated below with the graphical presentation.

6.1.1 Current Ratio


One of the best-known and most widely used short-term liquidity ratios is the current
ratio. The current ratio is defined as:
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
Year 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
Current Ratio 43.44% 43.33% 49.56% 29.38% 24.11%

Figure 6.1.1: Current Ratio of TBL (2014-2018)

A ratio that measures a bank's ability to pay short-term obligations called the Current
Ratio. The current ratio is an excellent diagnostic tool as it measures whether or not a
business has enough resources to pay its bills over the next 12 months. This graph
shows the current ratio of 2014,2015, 2017, 2018 is less than in 2016. It is bad for TBL.

Because it indicates that the bank’s current liability was rising faster than the current
asset.
6.1.2 Capital Adequacy Ratio
The capital adequacy ratio (CAR) is a measurement of a bank's available capital expressed
as a percentage of a bank's risk-weighted credit exposures. The capital adequacy ratio, also
known as capital-to-risk weighted assets ratio (CRAR), is used to protect depositors and
promote the stability and efficiency of financial systems around the world. The formula of
Capital Adequacy Ratio is:
Total Capital/Risk-weighted Assets
Year 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
Capital Adequacy 11.93% 10.81% 14.61% 12.92% 14.03%

6.1.3 Net Interest Margin


The Net Interest Margin measures how large a spread between interest revenues and
interest costs management has been able to achieve by close control over earning assets
and pursuit of the cheapest sources of funding.
The formula for Net Interest Margin is:
(𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑰𝒏𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 − 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆)

2.29%,2.39% respectively. Which means that the Net Interest Margin increased every year.

6.1.4 Return on Asset


Return on assets (ROA) is measured by the ratio between net income and total assets. In
other words, the return on assets expresses profit per Taka on total assets. It can also be
expressed in percent. Mathematically:
Return on Assets = Net income / Total assets
This ratio measures how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. A high ROA
indicates that management is effectively utilizing the company’s assets to generate
profit

Year 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018

The Return on Asset (ROA) ratio is an indicator of how profitable a company is relative
to its total assets. ROA gives an idea as to how efficient management is at using its
assets to generate earnings. Return on Asset (ROA) ratio of TBL in 2014,2015, 2016,
2017 2018 are respectively 0.8%,0.9%, 0.7% and 0.7%. Here curve shows return on
assets is increasing from 20015 to 2016 which is a good sign for TBL. But from 2017
to 2018 the curve has fallen which indicates that the bank’s situation is not satisfactory.

6.1.5 Return on Equity


Return on equity (ROE) is a measure of how the stockholders did during the year. Because
benefiting shareholders is our goal, ROE is the bottom-line (basic) measure of performance
of the firm. ROE is usually measured as:
Return on equity = Net Income / Shareholder Equity
This ratio measures how much profit the shareholder’s investment has generated. A
higher ROE percentage indicates that shareholders are receiving a better return on their
investment.
Year 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
Return on Equity 15.98% 16.18% 17.97% 14.27% 14.68%

14.27% and 14.68 %. From this result, we see that the ROE of 2016 is greater than
2014,2015, 2017, and 2018. It is not good for TBL. Because of a lower rate of ROE new
investors will not be interested to buy these banks share. This curve shows Return on equity
is getting low. From 2017 to 2018 it shows decreasing which is not a good sign for this
bank.

to predict the future. For this report, the trends are discussed for credit- related factors

7.0 Findings of the study


In the middle of the twenty-first century here we are facing heavy competition
with each other. Here everyone is competing with each and every single point. So,
today’s business institutions are moving forward to remember this concept. If
anyone has a weak point, the rival party will take the opportunity and make a
problem for the weak institution. After completing my internship at Trust Bank, I
realized that there are many problems and this may be a cause of the huge loss or
create a barrier for future prospects. So, the bank should take care of it very
seriously.
Bank faced with higher operating costs in recent years because Trust Bank has
increasingly turned toward automation and electric equipment’s to replace labor-
based production systems. Especially for making deposits, dispensing payments,
and taking credit available.
Bangladesh is a developing country. If bank service is replaced by electronic
communication and automated as a result further loss of jobs as capital equipment
is substituted for labor. So, bank employment will become declined.

 The Current Ratio of the Bank is not satisfactory for the last few years;
 Capital Adequacy Ratio is satisfactory and the important thing to notice is
that it was never less than 10%, which is a guideline of Bangladesh Bank;
 The Return on Asset is fluctuating;
 The Return on Equity is also fluctuating;
 Bangladesh Bank, the central bank, has instructed all banks to keep 1% as
a provision against outstanding total loans. This provision has been made to
meet any kind of future losses. Although Trust Bank Ltd does not have any
classified loans it is maintaining a 1% provision for the future. The bank is
prepared to meet any unwanted situation in the future;
 Net Interest Income of TBL kept rising over the years;
 The percentage of NPL’s to Loans& Advances kept rising every year;
 Trust bank Ltd making Salary card or debit card for Bangladesh Army. By
making this process, every army man will get an account number on the
trust bank. As a result, they will be interested in deposit money on TBL. On
the other hand, when soldiers get any purpose loan from Trust Bank, then
the loan’s default risk will reduce by this system.

8.0 Conclusion

Banks and financial institutions play an important role in the process of economic growth
of a country. Given their considerable economic potential, these institutions have a far-
reaching impact on the development and welfare process of the surrounding societies. A
country cannot long continue to have a deficit on foreign current account but a favorable
balance of payments on current account may conceal a heavy adverse balance of
payments with one individual country or group of countries. The banking sector in
Bangladesh is playing a vital role by providing loans to business concerns.
Trust Bank Limited makes a significant contribution to the economy. They are performing
their activities, as a result not only the bank but also the economy is benefited. The bank
is performing general banking, Loan-advance, foreign exchange activities, etc., as a result,
they are mobilizing the money and do well for the economy. Although they have some
limitations in their services, they are doing a tremendous job for the economy. If they can
reduce their limitation and introduce new ideas, they can do better in the banking sector
of Bangladesh. Now TBL is continuing business operation successfully in Bangladesh
through developing an image and goodwill among its clientele by offering its excellent
services. The success has resulted from the dedication, commitment, and dynamic
leadership of its management. During the short span of time of its operation, Trust Bank
Limited successfully grabbed a position as a highly progressive and dynamic financial
institution in the country. The current situation of TBL is satisfactory. But in the age of
competition if the bank does not provide extraordinarily that means superior services
then it will be difficult to continue banking because everybody wants to maintain quality.
And when TBL will be able to overcome this type of problem then it would be more
structured compared to any other bank operating locally in Bangladesh.
