15. METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY
The topic chosen for the assignment is “Mobile
Banking in Bangladesh.”
I work with non-government sector and also include
government sector.
All the data and information which is related to my
task was collected from secondary source.
I use Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint to
prepare this assignment.
16. FINDINGS
Most of the rural area people are the potential
customer of mobile banking.
Mobile banking is not available on every device. Some
banks do not provide mobile banking at all.
35% of m-banking customer are highly satisfied with
present m-banking service.
Some village people do not trust mobile banking as
traditional banking system.
Most people heard about it but not have a clear idea
17. RECOMMENDATION
Government must have to take adequate measures to
ensure the uninterrupted supply of raw materials for
M-Banking.
To reduced M-Banking limitation all banks should
provide this opportunity.
Government should easier the process to lunch mobile
banking service.
Employees of customer service department of banks
should be co-operative for registration and educating
the customers this technology-based service.
18. RECOMMENDATION
User guide should be provided to all intended
customers.
Banks should use all mobile service operators available
in Bangladesh.
More services should be included in M- banking.
19. CONCLUSION
More than three billion mobile phones are currently in
operation worldwide and fully 70% of the total
population of developing countries fall within the
coverage of existing cellular networks.
As 99 percent of the people of Bangladesh are under
the mobile phone network, almost all will have access
to the formal financial channel.
More than 7.5 crore people are using mobile phones. If
the banks can reach out to the un-banked people, the
dream of more people having bank accounts can be
fulfilled.
