Functional differences between a bank and non-bank financial institution part 2
1. 1 | P a g e
Chapter 1
Introduction
The financial systemfacilitates transfer of funds, through financial institutions, financial
markets, financial instruments and services. Financial institutions act as mobilisers and
depositories of savings, and as purveyors of credit or finance. They also provide various
financial services to the community. They act as intermediaries between savers and investors.
All banks and many non-banking institutions also act as intermediaries, and are called as non-
banking financial intermediaries (NBFI). Financial institutions are divided into the banking and
non-banking ones.
1.1 Background of the study
For a small area with a large population country like Bangladesh, ensuring financial access to
fuel growth and entrepreneurship is a critical priority. Banking penetration continues to be low,
and even as the coverage is sought to be aggressively increased through different programs, the
quality of coverage and ability to access comprehensive financial services for households as well
as small businesses is still far from satisfactory.
In this scenario, the Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFC) sector has scripted a story that is
remarkable. It speaks to the truly diverse and entrepreneurial spirit of Bangladesh. From large
infrastructure financing to small microfinance, the sector has innovated over time and found
ways to address the debt requirements of every segment of the economy. To it’s credit, the
industry has also responded positively to regulatory efforts to better understand risks and to
address such risks through regulations. Over time, the sector has evolved from being fragmented
and informally governed to being well regulated and in many instances, adopted best practices in
technology, innovation and risk management as well as governance.
1.2 Objectives of the study
In Bangladesh now different commercial banks and the non-banking financial organizations are
operating there business. And every organization now involved attracting the retail customers
that means the middle income group people of the country. To draw their attention the sells
persons of different organization try to knock every possible door. These activities of different
organization increase the interest about this sector. As both commercial banks and the non-
financial institutes are in the market, so it makes confusion to the general people about the
activities of these organizations. This report helps the customers to makes differentiate
between these.

1.3 Scope of the study
In Bangladesh there is lot of scope of the study on bank and non-bank financial institution. The
banking system is composed of four state-owned commercial banks, five specialized banks,
thirty eight private commercial banks, one land development bank and nine foreign commercial
banks. There are 30 non-bank financial institutions in our country. So it’s very easy to collect
the information on bank and non-bank financial institution.

The study has suffered from a number of barriers-
Data from the two institution is highly confidential for the outside people and I had no
authority to use the core institutional software.
All the employees are very busy with their work, sometimes I had to wait more than one hour
for a piece of information.
Time is also a big constraint for my research. I have to submit a broader deal in a shorter form
of outcome. If I could get few more time to spend in collecting data for preparing my report
Constrain of resources.
Non availability of up to date data.

3.2 About Non-banking sector
Initially, NBFIs were incorporated in Bangladesh under the Companies Act, 1913 and were
regulated by the provision relating to Non-Banking Institutions as contained in Chapter V of the
Bangladesh Bank Order, 1972. But this regulatory framework was not adequate and NBFIs had
the scope of carrying out their business in the line of banking. Later, Bangladesh Bank
promulgated an order titled ‘Non-Banking Financial Institutions Order, 1989’ to promote better
regulation and also to remove the ambiguity relating to the permissible areas of operation of
NBFIs. But the order did not cover the whole range of NBFI activities. It also did not mention
anything about the statutory liquidity requirement to be maintained with the central bank. To
remove the regulatory deficiency and also to define a wide range of activities to be covered by
NBFIs, a new act titled ‘Financial Institution Act, 1993’ was enacted in 1993 (Barai et al. 1999).
Industrial Promotion and Development Company (IPDC) was the first private sector NBFI in
Bangladesh, which started its operation in 1981. Since then the number has been increasing
and in December 2006 it reached 29. Of these, one is government owned, 15 are local (private)
and the other 13 are established under joint venture with foreign participation.
The major business of most NBFIs in Bangladesh is leasing, though some are also diversifying
into other lines of business like term lending, housing finance, merchant banking, equity
financing, venture capital financing etc. Lease financing, term lending and housing finance
constituted 94 percent of the total financing activities of all NBFIs up to June 2006. A break-up
of their financing activities reveals that the share of leasing and housing finance in the total
investment portfolio of NBFIs has gradually decreased from 59 and 15 percent, respectively, in
2002 to 46 and 14 percent in June 2006. The share of term loans, on the other hand, has
increased from 20 percent to 34 percent during the same period implying increased focus on
the former. The evolvement of NBFI business activity is observed in Figure 1. It can also be
Seen from the figure that the portfolio mix of NBFIs has become quite stable from 2004.
19. 19 | P a g e
NBFIs offer services to various sectors such as textile, chemicals, services, pharmaceuticals,
transport, food and beverage, leather products, construction and engineering etc. The
percentage of the sector-wise distribution of NBFIs investment in 2005 is given in Figure 2.
Although an individual NBFI may have a different portfolio as per its business strategy, the
aggregated data shows that NBFIs mainly focus on real estate & housing (13%), power & energy
(12%), textile (11%) and transport sector (9%). Service (finance and business) is another area of
importance for NBFIs. From the perspective of broad economic sectors, investment in the
industrial sector (42%) dominated that in the service sector (33%) in 2005. NBFIs are also
exploring other sectors namely ‘pharmaceuticals & chemicals’, ‘iron, steel & engineering’,
20. 20 | P a g e
‘garments & accessories’, ‘food & beverage’ and ‘agro industries & equipment’. The weight of
these sectors is 23 percent of the total portfolio
Products and Services Offered by NBFIs
Non-Bank Financial Institutions play a key role in fulfilling the gap of financial services that are
not generally provided by the banking sector. 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. NBFIs appear to offer flexible options and highly
competitive products to help customers meet their operational and financial goals. The table
below provides a summary of the product range offered by existing NBFIs of Bangladesh.

process all of the following inter-bank on-line transactions:
1. Account-to-account transfer transactions or debit / credit card transactions on the web for
On-line merchant payment against purchase of goods and services;
2. Inter-bank ATM/POS transactions using debit / credit cards; and
3. Inter-bank Internet or SMS banking transactions for fund transfer (instant remittance) and
utility bill payment. Since there is no such systemin Bangladesh, Dutch-Bangla Bank is actively
considering to implement a payment gateway to facilitate the above e-commerce transactions.
This will be the first payment gateway setup in the Country to drive e-commerce transactions.
34. 34 | P a g e

banking services. DBBL will shortly implement this solution. DBBL's IT infrastructure is working
like the arteries of a human body. The effective, robust and reliable IT infrastructure is ensuring
the strong health for the Bank. DBBL is working round the clock without any downtime, offering
its customers the enjoyment of banking services. Banking has never been so easy, comfortable,
enjoyable, and yet secure. DBBL is relentlessly striving every moment to facilitate its customers

Recommendation
DBBL:
The bank should higher export who can understand the future economic situation and can take
initiative based on the forecast. Again the bank can achieve success fromthe economy if they
can handle the situation efficiently.
Bank should improve their research Centre and training Centre to enrich the knowledge
regarding Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credit (UCPDC).
I recommend that the bank improve its management of international division who are
responsible for handling their foreign exchange related risk.
Again the bank should maintain correspondence relationship with the bank that will them to
settle payment and receipt regarding foreign exchange transaction.
The bank should aware about their customer to meet up their demand to maintain their
goodwill.
Bangladesh is a developing country. Many people of our country live in many countries. So,
it is important to maintain foreign exchange department in every banks.
Foreign exchange department of DBBL should enrich by new technology to make a good
competition among the banks.
REFL:
It was very difficult to find out any significant negative sides of Reliance Finance Limited among
its numerous positive sides in term of profitability. However there are few problems need to be
corrected by the management of the institution. Some necessary steps are recommended
below on the basis of collected data, observation, expert staffs’ opinion and my knowledge and
judgment:
Net profit was in a sharp rise in the recent past. The company should try to keep the
momentum going.
Operating revenue has significant effect on net profit. So the company should look to maximize
operating revenue as much as possible.
52. 52 | P a g e
Operating expense has significant effect on net profit. So the company should look to minimize
operating expense as much as possible.
Term deposit also has significant effect on net profit. So the company should attract more
depositors to deposit with attractive deposit scheme
Total Equity directly affect the NAV of the company and investors pays a huge attention on NAV
so company should always try to increase the Total Equity.
REFL should try to expand their financial services widely,
Conclusion:
The findings of the paper cannot be taken as conclusion and it will be wrong to end here with
such a result. Because this study gives a simple picture and leaves room for further study in
different areas of Bank and Non-Bank Financial Institutions functions like different kind of loan
and deposit and other related financial activities .The impact of government policy in the
performance of Dutch Bangla Bank limited is also not studied in this study which must have
significant impact on the performance of Reliance Finance Limited. Further study also can be
concluded on post and performs of both sector.
However, the study provides managers with understanding of activities that would improve
their financial performance. The result of this study imply that it might be necessary for the
management of Reliance Finance Limited and Dutch Bangla Bank Limited to take all the
required recommendation to enhance their financial position and provide better services for
their clients.
