management officials have all worked in reputed banks and their years of banking
experience, skill, and expertise will continue to contribute towards further expansion
of the bank. So, the top management of the bank is the major strength for JBL.
Corporate Culture

friendly, interactive and informal. And, there are no hidden barriers or boundaries
while communicate between the superior and the employees. This corporate culture
works as a great motivation factor among the employees of the bank.

can choose the right products that will fulfill their needs.
Strong employee bonding and belongings
JBL employees are one of the major assets of the company. The employees of JBL
have a strong sense of commitment towards organization and also feel proud and a
sense of belonging towards JBL. The strong organizational culture of JBL is the main
reason behind its strength
Efficient Performance
8. It has been seen from customers’ opinion that JBL provides hassle-free customer
services to its client comparing to other financial institutions of Bangladesh.
Personalized approach to the needs of customers is its motto.
Strong Financial Position
It has been seen that the net profit has been gradually rising over the years.
Furthermore, JBL is not just sitting on its previous year’s success, but also taking
initiatives to improve. One of the employees has said,
Weakness
Dependent on fixed deposits
Jamuna Bank heavily dependents on fixed deposit. The bank have to pay large
amount of interest for the just because of highly depend on fixed deposit.
Moderate risk management system
JBL risk management system is not that much secured. They need to develop their
risk grading system.
Absence of strong marketing activities
JBL currently don't have any strong marketing activities through mass media e.g.
Television. TV ads play vital role in awareness building. JBL has no such TV ad
campaign. Although they do a lot of CSR activities compared to other banks.
Not enough innovative products
In order to be more competitive in the market, JBL should come up with more new
attractive and innovative products. This is one of the weaknesses that JBL is currently
passing through but plans to get rid of by 2010.
Discouraging small entrepreneurs
JBL provides clean Import Loan to most of its solvent clients. But they usually do not
want to finance small entrepreneurs whose financial standing is not clean to them.
Opportunities
Country wide network
The ultimate goal of JBL is to expand its operations to whole Bangladesh. Nurturing
this type of vision & mission & to act as required, will not only increase JBL's
profitability but also will secure its existence in the log run.
Introducing more branches
There are many important places in Bangladesh, where customers are eagerly waiting
for doing banking transactions. But no existence of banks is in those places. Although
JBL already has 65 branches to provide services to its customers, it must also open
more branches in those places where people needs banking facilities.
Introducing special corporate scheme
JBL can introduce special corporate schemes for the corporate customers or officers
who have an income level higher from the service holders. At the same time, they can
introduce schemes or loans for various service holders. And the schemes should be
separate according to the professions, such as engineers, lawyers, doctors etc.
Real time online banking
Today online banking is the best way to earn profit for the bank. So JBL have to earn
more profit by developing online banking system.
Creation of brand image
As we know that brand creates value. So JBL need to develop their brand image by
developing their products and services.
Threats
Similar products are offered by other banks
Now-a-days different foreign and private banks are also offering similar type of
products with an almost similar profit margin. So, if all competitors fight with the
same weapon, the natural result is declining profit.
9. Default Loans
The problem of non-performing loans or default loans is very minimum or
insignificant. However, this problem may rise in the future thus; JBL has to remain
vigilant about this problem so that proactive strategies are taken to minimize this
problem.
Industrial Downturn
Bangladesh is economically and political unstable country. Flood, draught, cyclone,
and newly added terrorism have become an identity of our country. Along with
inflation, unemployment also creates industry wide recession. These caused
downward pressure on the capital demand for investment.
Increased competition in the market
In banking sector day by day competition are increased and lots of new bank are
coming into the competition. So it is big threat for JBL.
