Prabhu Bank Limited is a financial intermediary who is primarily responsible for the
transfer of monetary resources from the net savers to the net users. It has head office
at Anamnagar, Kathmandu and corporate office at Teku, Kathmandu. This bank was
chosen for the internship purpose because it was founded by the key economic players
of Nepal and also it is one of the first class “A” commercial bank to have a successful
merger with another class “A” commercial bank. I had a keen interest on knowing
how it worked from the very beginning of its establishment. I wanted to learn how the

only.

Another limitation of this report is Bank’s policy of not disclosing some data
and information for obvious reason, which could be very much useful.
The data that seems insufficient may be suffering from lack of reliability to
some extent.
Bank is a financial institution which deals with the monetary transactions. The major
function of the bank is to accept deposits and providing loans. The bank attract
deposits from various investors by providing certain rate of interest, and investing the
accumulated funds as loans to others who are in need of fund by charging slightly
higher rate of interest than they provide to the depositors. Bank acts as an
intermediary who bridges the gap between the savers of fund and the users of fund.
Basically, banks are those financial organization that offer the widest range of
financial services especially credit, saving and payment services and perform the
Different scholars have defined bank in different ways. Some definitions of bank are
as follows:
According to Walter Leaf, “Bank is that institution or individual who is always ready
to serve money on deposit to be returned against the check of their deposits (savers).”
A bank generates a profit from the differential between the level of interest it pays for
deposits and other sources of funds, and the level of interest it charges in its lending
activities. This difference is referred to as the spread between the cost of funds and
the loan interest rate. Historically, profitability from lending activities has been

history, investors have demanded a more stable revenue stream and banks have
therefore placed more emphasis on transaction fees, primarily loan fees but also
Lending activities, however, still provide the bulk of a commercial bank's income.
The banking industry that we have today is the outcome of a series of stepwise
development that have occurred in the process of its evolution. The banking sector
went through the process of evolution due to the unceasing demand for the
customers as well the political reforms that have taken place over the decades.
The early bankers are the Lombard who was originally from the plains of Lombardy
of Northern Italy. They introduced banking practice in England. These Lombard were
eventually bankrupted because they lent money to kings who did not repay them.
After the Lombard, the goldsmiths practiced banking as a sideline to their normal
activities in the bullion and jewelers fields. The early goldsmiths used to have large
vaults, which were soundly built and heavily guarded. The person who deposited his
surplus funds with the goldsmith became a 'depositor' and naturally paid for the
privilege of having his money defended this way. These payments were called 'Bank
Charge'. The depositors who needed funds to pay wages or debts, could call at the

The very first banks were probably the religious temples of the ancient world where
gold was stored. Their owners justly felt that temples were the safest places to store
their gold as they were constantly attended, well built and were sacred, thus
dissuading the would-be thieves. There are existing records of loans from the 18th

Originally, it was not a bank in real sense being simply an office for the transfer of the
public debt. Subsequently, Bank of Barcelona (1401) and Bank of Geneva (1407)
were established. The ‘Bank of England’, first English Bank, was established in 1694
A.D. The ancestors of modern day banks have been attributed to the merchants, the

now the financial system is still in the evolutionary phase. The establishment of

securities i.e. gold, silver and other ornaments. Its objective was to provide credit or
loans to the general public but it failed to accept deposits from them.
Phase II: The modern banking in Nepal was started with the establishment of Nepal

help the government formulate monetary policies, Nepal Rastra Bank was set up in

Accepting Deposits
The most important function of Prabhu Bank is to accept deposits from the public.
Various sections of society, according to their needs and economic condition, deposit
Therefore, keeping the needs and interests of various sections of society, banks
formulate various deposit schemes. Generally, there are three types of deposits which
are as follows:
Current Deposits
The depositors of such deposits can withdraw and deposit money whenever
they desire. Since banks have to keep the deposited amount of such accounts
in cash always, they carry either no interest or very low rate of interest. These
18
withdrawn by the depositors at any time they want. Such deposit accounts are
highly useful for traders and big business firms because they have to make
Fixed Deposit
These are the deposits which are deposited for a fixed period of time. This
period is generally not less than one year and, therefore, these are called as
long term deposits. These deposits cannot be withdrawn before the expiry of
the stipulated time and, therefore, these are also called as time deposits.
The interest rate on fixed deposits are generally high because banks can these
deposits for fixed period without having the fear of being withdrawn. If,
Saving Deposit
On such deposits, the interest rate is very low. The main objective of saving
deposit is to mobilize small savings in the form of deposits. These deposits are
generally done by salaried people and the people who have fixed and less
income.
Giving Loans
customers. Banks charge interest from the borrowers and this is the main source of
their income. Banks advance loans not only on the basis of the deposits of the public
rather they also advance loans on the basis of depositing the money in the borrowers.
19
In other words, they create loans out of deposits and deposits out of loans. This is
Modern banks give mostly secured loans for productive purposes. In other words, at
the time of advancing loans, they demand proper security or collateral. Generally, the
value of security or collateral is equal to the amount of loan. This is done mainly with
a view to recover the loan money by selling the security in the event of non-
refundable of the loan. At times, banks give loan on the basis of personal security
also. Therefore, such loans are called as unsecured loan. Banks generally give
Cash Credit
In this type of scheme, banks advance loans to its customers on the basis of
bonds, inventories and other approved securities. Under this scheme, banks
enter into an agreement with its customers to which money can be withdrawn
many times during a year. Under this set up banks open accounts of their
customers and deposit the loan money. With this type of loan, credit is created.
Demand Loans
These are such loans that can be recalled on demand by the banks. The entire
loan amount is paid in lump sum by crediting it to the loan account of the
borrower, and thus entire loan becomes chargeable to interest with immediate
effect.
20
Short Term loan
These loans may be given as personal loans, loans to finance working capital
or as priority sector advances. These are made against some security and entire
Over Draft
there are no deposits in the current account. For this banks demands security from the
customers in terms of minimum balance and charge very high interest rate.
This is the most prevalent and important method of advancing loans to the traders for
short term purposes. Under this system, banks advance loans to the traders and
business firms by discounting their bills. In this way, businessmen get loans on the
Investment of Funds

2.4 Customer satisfaction level on Prabhu Bank Limited
Customers are the life of any kind of business. Most of the business organizations in
the modern world are customer driven, trying to meet the customer’s expectation in
the best way. They always try to grab their most potential customers to increase their
market share. When the products and services provided by the companies meet the
expectations of the customer then the customer will be satisfied and will repurchase
product and he will be loyal customer to that company. In the banking sector in Nepal
customer satisfaction is also very important as because the competition in this sector
has been increasing. To retain their most loyal and to attract potential customer banks
should offer what the customer require and expectation. Prabhu Bank Limited is also

Utility bill payment on the bank is one of the criteria where customers are interested
in. they want to pay bill to the nearest place of their home. If a bank provides this
opportunity then it will make customer happy. Here we can see that 30 persons among
50 which 60% are not satisfied with this service provided by the bank. I tried to know
why they don’t like this service of this bank, they said Prabhu bank accept electricity
and WASA bill but not gas bill. People have to go for another bank to pay gas bill.
This is one area where Prabhu Bank can improve. They need to know the customers’
requirement. It is irritating to pay electricity bill in one bank and pay gas bill to
another bank. This indicates customer dissatisfaction on utility bill payment factor.

and should work according to this. They should build a strong relationship with the
customer by offering best service they can. They need to set goal to make the
customer fully satisfied by improving all the lacking they have. All the variables

accurate service, error free record, problem solving skills, and office atmosphere are
very important elements for the bank, have direct or indirect impact on the customer
