1 | P a g e
The Concept of Non-Bank Financial Institution A non-bank financial institution is a financial institution that does not have a full banking license or is not supervised by a national or international regulatory agency. According to World Bank data and research, a non-bank financial institution (NBFI) is a financial institution that does not have a full banking license and cannot accept deposits from the public. However, NBFIs do facilitate alternative financial services, such as investment (both collective and individual), risk pooling, financial consulting, brokering, money transmission, and check cashing. NBFIs are a source of consumer credit (along with licensed banks). The definition provided by Bangladesh Bank encompasses only leasing and finance companies. But there are a number of other financial institutions that are also called NBFI. The matter of fact is that all insurance companies, merchant banks and securities houses are NBFIs. The first non-bank financial institution was a fire insurance company established in 1680 in London named Phoenix Assurance or Phoenix Fire Office. Industrial Promotion and Development Company (IPDC) was the first private sector NBFI in Bangladesh, which started its operation in 1981. Is This Concept Viable? By specializing in certain products and services non-bank financial institution (NBFIs) acts as a supplement bank. While banks may offer a set of financial services as a package deal, NBFIs unbundle these services, tailoring their services to particular groups. Additionally, individual NBFIs may specialize in a particular sector, gaining an informational advantage. By this unbundling, targeting, and specializing, NBFIs promote competition within the financial services industry. 2 | P a g e
Having a multi-faceted financial system, which includes non-bank financial institutions, can protect economies from financial shocks and recover from those shocks. NBFIs provide multiple alternatives to transform an economy's savings into capital investment, which act as backup facilities should the primary form of intermediation, fail. Product and Services Provided by NBFI The competition among NBFIs is increasing over the years, which is forcing them to diversify to a wider range of products and services and to provide innovative investment solutions. The product and services provided by NBFIs can be categorized as under: 1. Accepting Deposit As it has been said deposit products of NBFIs are usually of two types. Term Loan: As NBFIs are not allowed to maintain checking account the main deposit product is of term loan. Maturities of these loans vary from one to five years. However maturity other than this is also available for many NBFIs. Deposit Pension Scheme: under this scheme deposits are accepted on a periodic basis with equal installment. The future value is payable at the end of the period in a lump sum. 2. Financing contains- Lease financing: Leasing facilitates the use of a fixed asset without owning it in exchange of a series of periodic payments. There are different types of leasing that a financial institution can provide. NBFIs usually provide capital lease, operating lease, leveraged lease, and sale and lease back, synthetic lease, etc. 3 | P a g e
Home loan and real estate financing: House loan and real estate financing is extended for purchase, construction, renovation and extension of apartment & house, purchase of office space for professionals, purchase and construction of commercial building, real-estate development for construction of apartment project. Bridge Finance: Bridge finance fills the gap between the need of fund and availability of fund in the near future. It is extended in anticipation of immediate long term financing such as public issue, private placement, loan syndication, etc.
3. Merchant Banking includes- Issue Management: The Issue Management group is capable of devising innovative solution to corporate clients for raising capital - debt and equity through private and public placement from the market suiting the unique needs and constraints of the clients. Underwriting: Underwriting refers to the guarantee by the underwriters that in the event of under-subscription; the underwriter will take up the under-subscribed amount on pro-rata basis upon payment of price of that option. It is done by a group of underwriters. Portfolio Management: Merchant banks offer small investors to open investors account with merchant banks and provide support for the purchase and sale of shares for the clients. Clients shall have absolute discretionary power to make investment decisions. Corporate Advising: Through corporate advising, the merchant bank helps the issuer analyze its financing needs and suggest various ways to raise needed funds and terms and timing of issue.

4. Securities services Brokerage services: members of stock exchanges are allowed to provide brokerage services for Trade Execution, Pre -IPO private placement. CDBL services as full service depository participant (DP): Apart from the brokerage services, securities services also provide the services like BO (Beneficial Owner) accounts opening and maintenance, Dematerialization, Re-materialization, Transfers, Lending and borrowing, etc
NBFIs in Bangladesh Rules and Regulations: NBFIs were incorporated in Bangladesh under the then Companies Act, 1913 and were being regulated by the provisions contained in Chapter V of the Bangladesh Bank Order, 1972. Currently NBFIs have been given licenses and regulated under the Financial Institution Act, 1993. There are 31 NBFIs licensed under this act.

Benefits of NBFIs in our Economy when we have so many Commercial Bank: The non- Banking Financial Institutions (NBFIs) run in parallel to the traditional deposit taking commercial banks. But they have a distinct importance in the economic growth besides bank. They are given below. 7 | P a g e
Mobilization of Resources: NBFIs convert savings into investment to mobilize resources of an economy. This mobilization of resource eliminate if not, lessens the intra-regional income and asset distribution inequalities. If NBFIs are not present in the financial system the useful application of savings into investment might remain a dream. One striking aspect of NBFIs is that they are usually development-oriented and not merely profit-maximizing organizations. Provision of Long-term Credit: Commercial banks are reluctant to sanction long-term credit to commerce and industry. This is primarily due to maturity-mismatch i.e. they are holding short- term repayable deposits which are not comparable to long-term credit. This is where NBFIs come into action. The large scale manicuring sector and mega infrastructure projects are largely dependent on the availability of credit from NBFIs which fosters economic development. Unlike commercial banks, they finance corporations through equity participation also, which is a unique feature of NBFIs. Employment Generation: Employment generation is one of the prime objectives of any macroeconomic policy. To achieve full employment in the economy; governments allocate huge amounts to be disbursed through NBFIs to private sector. This inflow of funds from public sector to private sector via NBFIs spawns business activities thus minimizing unemployment rate. Financial Markets Development: NBFI underwrite public issues of corporations. They provide much needed capital to new start-ups through venture capital. They are the source of liquidity in these markets.
Specialized Credit: Some NBFIs are dedicated to a particular sector. Provision of funds to the sectors like housing, agriculture, industry and SMEs are carried out through these. They act as a conduit of transferring public capital to private sector. 8 | P a g e
