I got only three months to gather practical knowledge from this branch, although it was too difficult to gather maximum and proper knowledge within this short range of time. There is a great supportive role of banking system in human society. It plays a vital role for the economic development of a country. Banks are financial-service firms, producing and selling professional management of the public's funds as well as performing many other roles in the economy. The study was to analyze Banking Business Activities of Mercantile Bank Ltd, Satmasjid Road Branch especially: ? General banking ? Foreign Exchange and remittance Credit & Advance department Firstly, I worked for one month in General Banking. During this period I tried my best to cover most o f the basic stuffs. Clearing section was important part to focus on. There were other sections such as Account opening section, Computer section, Cash counter section. Second month I worked in the Loan and Advance sector. And I tried my best to understand what to deal about, what to think about when approaching for any loan proposal. In the final days, I was in Foreign Exchange department. There I was involved in learning the Import LC, Export LC, the operation of back to back LC, Lodgment & settlement of LC, IBP & FBP etc. Most of all I tried heart & soul to present all that I have learnt & thought to be comprehensive to me. Though a short time I got to be introduced with all the activities of bank but I tried my best to give full of me in the practical orientation in bank as well as in the report writing.

It is the period of time during which a novice in a field serves in a subordinate capacity and continues to gain experience; the learning period before one becomes an expert. Practical Knowledge is highly needed to match with the theoretical idea and knowledge. Banking industries are the best organization to practice the theoretical knowledge. This sector plays very important role in the economic life of the nation. The health of the economy is closely related to the soundness of its banking system. Although banks create no new wealth but their borrowing, lending and related activities facilitate the process of production, distribution, exchange and consumption of wealth. In this way they become very effective partners in the process of economic development. Within our country there are government banks, semi government banks, private sector commercial banks of Bangladesh and also it is the second-generation private bank in Bangladesh. It started its important moment when Bangladesh economy was undergoing through massive economy reforms and pursing unilateral and multilateral trade liberalization with the backdrop of the World Bank made international Monitory Fund *IMF* recommendation. This Mercantile Bank Ltd with its 42 Branches in Manipulate location of the country providing the best quality services to the clients and customers. For the duration of my 3 months internship period from 1st July to 8th October , 2009 in Mercantile Bank Ltd. Those types of experiences I have acquired these are bring together to formulate this report. 1. 2. Background of the study: Banks play an important role in the business sector and promoting industrialization and economic development of a country. Banks provide necessary funds for executing various programs underway in the process of economic development. This paper is entitled â€Å"Overall Banking Activities of Mercantile Bank Limited† originated from the fulfillment of the internship program. I have selected this topic to have insight knowledge about the Activities of Mercantile Bank Limited and to get an idea about the various types of deposit, loan which are mostly provided. This study will also give me a vague idea about the rules and regulations of providing loan, loan recovery and overall lending functions of a commercial bank. After three months of internship period I am supposed to prepare this report revealing findings, knowledge as well as experience gathered during internship period. 1. 3. Rationale of the report: Knowledge and learning become perfect when it is associated with theory and practice. Theoretical knowledge gets its perfection with practical application. As our educational system predominantly text based, inclusion practical orientation program, as an academic component is as exception to the norm. As the parties, educational institution and the organization substantially benefit from such a program, it seems a â€Å"win-win situation†. It establishes contracts and networking contracts. Contracts may help to get a job. That is, students can train and prepare themselves for the job market. A poor country like Bangladesh has an overwhelming number of unemployed educated graduates. As they have no internship experience they have not been able to gain normal professional experience of establish networking system, which is important in getting a job. Recognizing the importance of practical experience, an opportunity is offered by Asian University of Bangladesh for ts potential business graduates to get three months practical experience, which is known is as â€Å"Internship Program†. For the competition of this internship program, the author of the study was placed in a bank namely, â€Å"Mercantile Bank Limited†. Internship Program brings a student closer to th e real life situation and thereby helps to launch a career with some prior experience. 1. 4. Objectives of the Report: ?

The time of this study was very inadequate to obtain depth knowledge in every department. †¢ The bank officials though helpful in every respect do not have much time to explain the internal procedures. †¢ 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. †¢ This study completely depended on official records and annual reports. †¢ Sufficient record, publications, facts and figures were not available, these constraints narrowed the scope of accurate analysis. †¢ This report is restricted only to Mercantile Bank Ltd.
