Bank and the actual services that are available by the bank for the customers.
1.2 OBJECTIVES
The goal is to identify the main reasons of client dissatisfaction and find its relationship with a clients level of knowledge about the banks services. In order to accomplish my goal I have identified one important observation and that is the relationship between clients knowledge on the services provided by the bank and the actual services that are available by the bank for them. Disparity in such cases often result in the most common forms of client dissatisfaction Satisfaction of these services depends on many variables but most importantly on two factors: 1. The level of service provided to clients as promised by the bank. 2. And the level of services expected by the clients. I have also tried to find out the following aspects: Finding out about the clients Clients level of involvement with the bank How updated clients are with banks services

Basically, this study is conducted to expose the way to find out the customers satisfaction level and know how to provide them better service. Different evaluating procedures and techniques have been followed to measure the customers Satisfaction. This study will establish that there is a basis why expectations and goals need to be aligned and why the misalignment causes unsatisfactory results. The goal of SCB is to satisfy its clients; therefore the bank needs to communicate to its clients about the services available to them by SCB.
On the other hand the clients need to be aware of what the bank is communicating to them. If the clients choose to remain uninvolved with their bank then their level of expectation will be very difficult to match as there would be no basis on those expectations. Client dissatisfaction arises based on their expectations supported by their lack of staying updated with information as provided by the bank. Hence the study is important as it will prove that when it comes to client satisfaction the clients are also as responsible in staying aware and updated on the banking services as well as the bank is responsible to deliver services as promised.

merged with the Bank of West Africa expanding its operations into Cameroon, Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. In 1969, the decision was made by Chartered and by Standard to undergo a friendly merger. All was going well until 1986, when a hostile takeover bid was made for the Group by Lloyds Bank of the United Kingdom. When the bid was defeated, Standard Chartered entered a period of change. Provisions had to be made against third world debt exposure and loans to corporations and entrepreneurs who could not meet their commitments. Standard Chartered began a series of divestments notably in the United States and South Africa, and also entered into a number of asset sales. In the new millennium Standard Chartered Bank acquired Grindlays Bank from the ANZ Group and the Chase Consumer Banking operations in Hong Kong in 2000. In 2006, the bank made a number of acquisitions and strategic alliances that extended its customer and geographic reach.

Intelligent Queue Management Quick Queue System SCB has developed a software solution system that will aid in trafficking people at the branches. The Quick Queue system of SCB helps to upgrade customer experience in the following ways: The system generates a token for teller service based on type of service (cash withdrawal or deposit, cheque deposit, credit card payments etc.) & the volume of service (below 50K. 50-100K, over 100K etc) The system automatically calculates the workload of available teller/CSO and the token is issued where the customer will experience the lowest possible queue. CSO/ Teller can view the number of people awaiting his service. BSSM can also view the current status and get a total picture of the floor thus being able to track individual as well as overall performance. Customers on receiving the token can go about their business without having to stand in queues. They can go for walk, look through brochures etc. The software system is connected to the central database through a network. It stores all the event information such as, total waiting time, total service time, arrival date and time, service category, teller id etc. these stored data are analyzed by an intelligent system and later used to make the prediction about the waiting time for future customers. These data are also used to evaluate the performance of the bank teller.

ENVIRONMENT
The banking industry in Bangladesh is more than 600 years old. In 1970's Banking sector in Bangladesh entered into new era when the entire commercial banks and financial institutions were nationalized after the emergence of Bangladesh as an independent nation in1970's (except foreign banks) with fixed lending and deposit rates. In 1980's Two NCB s were allowed under private ownership. During this period government intervention and poor management resulted in large debt. Default, under capitalization and decline profit.

Currently the major financial institutions under the banking system include: o Bangladesh Bank o Commercial Bank o Islamic Banks (for interest free Islamic banking in adherence to the shariah, o Leasing Companies o Finance Companies o Merchant Banks Generally, the commercial banks and finance companies provide a myriad of banking products/facilities and services to cater to the needs of their customers. These include 24 hour banking, home banking (Tele banking via use of modems and phones) and general banking and service products. For customers convenience, such products are available throughout the bank branches in Bangladesh. However, the Bangladesh banking industry is characterized by the tight banking rules and regulations set by Bangladesh Bank. All banks and financial Institutions (Fis) are highly governed and controlled under the Banking Companies Act 1993, which lays out many restrictions, besides other guidelines. Among the many regulations imposed, Bangladesh Bank does not allow any FI to into bankruptcy or insolvency.

The range of banking products and financial services is also limited in scope. Besides all local banks are imposed with 5 percent Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR), which is non interest bearing and 15 percent Statutory Liquidity Requirement (SLR). This has given rise to higher cost of funds. With the liberalization of markets, competitive on banking products and financial
S H A M
services seem to be more intense and competitive. In addition as banking products that can be offered in Bangladesh are fairly homogeneous in nature due to the tight regulations imposed by Bangladesh Bank. Competing through differentiating the range of products offered is often difficult and not effective. Moreover, any innovative banking service launched is quickly duplicated by other banks such as ATMs, telebanking, online (real time) computerization bank branches etc. Hence, the key to establish a competitive edge in banking industry of Bangladesh is to provide better customer service quality.

The employees of SCB have a strong sense of commitment towards organization and also feel proud and a sense of belonging towards SCB. The strong culture of SCB is the main reason behind this strength. 2.Young Enthusiastic Workforce: The selection and recruitment of SCB emphasizes on having the skilled graduates and postgraduates who have little or no work experience. This type young and fresh workforce simulates the whole working environment of SCB, who can be trained and mould to support SCB strategy with their best performance i.e. SCB believes in Right Person at the Right Place. 3.No Communication Barriers: Human Resource Division has tried hard to avoid communication barriers and structural bureaucracies. He little existence of authoritative barriers among the different level of management stimulates a feeling of importance as their work get priority over the position. 4.Spread out risks: SCBs strong global presence helps it to spread risk and offers significant economies of scale. So since the bank is not dependant on its operations on any on economy, it means that if the need and situation arises, SCB Bangladesh can take funds from other more profitable operational areas of SCB to expand rapidly and market its products more aggressively to increase its hold in Bangladesh.

Weakness
1. Narrow Operating Span: SCB has a very narrow operation span in Bangladesh. It has only few branches in Bangladesh. Various geographic segments are currently not availing the services of SCB due to inconvenient branch location or absence of neighborhood branches. The bank does not plan on expanding in upcoming months. 2. Absence of Strong Marketing Activities: SCB currently do not have any strong marketing activities through mass media e.g. Television, radio or internet. The only medium of transmission is through daily newspapers and bill boards. SCB currently does not have any plans to expand their marketing activities except some consumer campaign they hold. In a vast competitive market where every competitor is aiming to expand, SCB lack of marketing interest might prove losing costly market share 3. Conservative Product Offering: Another major weakness of SCB Bangladesh is the small range of products that are offered by the bank. Even today, the bank does not have products such as debit card and international credit card. In todays market, this can prove costly to the bank as competition is becoming intense and other banks are aggressively introducing new products to capture a larger chunk of the market. 4. Lack of Client Confidence: It is a widespread belief among Bangladeshi local consumers that if they deposit their savings or lend from a foreign bank such as SCB, there will be more hidden charges imposed by the bank relative to a local bank, and thus the customer will end up losing money. As long as this wrong belief persists, it will act as a hindrance to the prospects of SCB Bangladesh. 5. Lack of human resource: One of the main weaknesses of SCB Bangladesh is its lack of number of employees, particularly in the branches. In terms of the number of customers served per customer service manager, the situation is much worse for a foreign bank such as SCB Bangladesh rather than a local bank. The reason as to why this problem persists is not
S H A M
Page 47

P R E P A R E D B Y
the banks inability to hire more employees, but in reality it is the fact that SCB does not have too many branches/offices and thus not much space to accommodate the required number of employees.
Opportunity:
1. Growing customer-base: Bangladesh has a very rapidly increasing upper-middle class and upper-class section of the community. SCB can take advantage of the increasing consumer-spending in Bangladesh, thereby earning more profits in the countrys operations. Besides growing consumer-spending, Bangladesh also maintains a very good investment climate which is resulting in new businesses setting up and expansion of existing businesses. SCB Bangladesh also can target these organizations to grow their client-base.
S H A M
2. More experienced and managerial know-how: The top management team of SCB is expert in banking activities. The operating policies established by them are unique and unified. All the members of the team carry out their management roles exhaustively. They equally contributed to SCBs superior leadership, by carrying out their unique roles. They worked well together, respecting each others abilities and arguing openly and without any rancor when they disagree.
3. Acquisitions: SCB is one of the experts in acquiring various firms and organizations. In Bangladesh it can also diversify quickly by acquiring various local banks and increase its total operation in Bangladesh rapidly.
Page 48
Relationship Between The Clients Knowledge and The Actual Products & Services Provided By SCB
P R E P A R E D B Y
4. Prospects of e-banking: With Bangladesh Bank recently relaxing regulations on online banking transactions and allowing banks to provide enhanced e-banking services; this is a big opportunity for banks all over the country to rapidly capture a good chunk of this market. Perhaps with its strong internet backbone, SCB is in a better position than most rivals to avail this opportunity.
S H A M
5. More scope of outsourcing functions: Nowadays, several firms are opening up in Bangladesh and banks can outsource some of their tasks to these firms. For example, banks can now outsource tasks of their marketing functions to other firms that provide part-time contractual employees for the banks, thereby contributing to lowered operational costs of the banks. Call centre of banks is another common activity of banks which are now outsourced in Bangladesh.
Threats:
1. Strengthening competition: The upcoming private local and multinational bank poses a serious threat to the existing banking networks of SCB. It is expected that in the next few years more commercial banks will emerge. If that happens the intensity of competition will rise further and banks will have to develop strategies to compete against and win the battle of banks.
2. Pricing and charges: Although it is a policy of SCB Bangladesh to impose higher charges and pricing in order to maintain an image of prestige and brand, this policy might have to halted here as Bangladesh Bank tries to promote lower costs for the banking
Page 49

P R E P A R E D B Y
customers. Moreover, in an environment of intense competition, other multinational banks such as Standard Chartered Bank might also lower their charges and then SCB will be in deeper pressure to start charging less to their customers.
3. Changing preference of individuals: Due to Bangladesh Bank regulations capping the interest rate on bank loans, banks such as SCB have also reduced the interest they pay on different types of deposits in order to maintain a profitable spread. This has, in turn, induced many individuals to invest their savings elsewhere rather than keep it in banks, which might enable them to earn higher returns. The stock exchange is one very good example where people nowadays prefer to invest their savings instead of depositing in banks.
S H A M
S
4. Default Culture: This is a major problem for SCB that it is very new organization in Bangladesh, the problem of non-performing loans or default loans is very minimum or insignificant. However, as the bank becomes older this problem will arise enormously and the bank may find itself in a more threatening environment. Thus SCB has to remain vigilant about this problem so that proactive strategies are taken to minimize this problem. Although the percentage came down to 13.23% in 2007 from over 41% in 1999, still it is much higher than the internationally accepted tolerable range and, thus, is a threat to our banking sector.

6. LITERATURE REVIEW:
Customer satisfaction is a measure of how products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation.
Customer satisfaction is defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified satisfaction goals.( Farris et al, 2010 )
S H A M
Customer Satisfaction is a pillar to the success of a business. This is easily forgotten in times that place acquiring new customers into the center of business and marketing strategies. A high customer satisfaction will bring loyal customers and therefore a huge potential: they buy more often, with a higher order value, and they are likely to bring new customers.
The key factors influencing customers selection of a bank include the range of services, rates, fees and prices charged (Abratt and Russell, 1999). It is apparent that superior service, alone, is not sufficient to satisfy customers. Prices are essential, but not more important than service and relationship quality. Furthermore, service excellence, meeting client needs, and providing innovative products are key to success in the banking industry. Most private banks claim that creating and maintaining customer relationships are important to them and they are aware of the positive values that relationships provide. (Colgate et al., 1996).
Indeed, customer satisfaction has for many years been the key in determining why customers leave or stay with an organization. Organizations need to know how to keep their customers, even if they are satisfied. Reichheld (1996) suggests that satisfied customers may look for other banks because they believe they might receive better service elsewhere. Fornell (1992) showed that although customer satisfaction and quality appear to be important for all firms, satisfaction is more important for loyalty in industries such as banks, insurance, mail order, and automobiles.

Ioanna (2002) further proposed that product differentiation is impossible in a competitive environment like the banking industry. Banks everywhere are delivering the same products. For example, there is usually only minimal variation in interest rates charged or the range of products and services available to customers. Bank prices are fixed and driven by the marketplace. Thus, bank management tends to differentiate their organization from competitors through service quality. Service quality is an influential element that impacts customers satisfaction level in the banking industry. In banking, quality includes differing types of convenience, reliability, services portfolio, and more importantly, the staff delivering the service.
S H A M
Banks must be able to provide up-close personal service for customers who come with high expectations. For customers who value convenience most, banks must offer the latest product such as electronic banking, touch-tone phone account access and internet banking. Clearly, customer value can be a strong driver of customer retention (Slater, 1997; Woodruff, 1997).
Todays consumers have more choices for their financial needs than ever before. Technology, globalization, increased competition and increased consumer mobility have dramatically changed the way people bank (Harwood, 2002). Many financial institutions are looking at branding techniques to differentiate themselves. Harwood (2002) argued that branding is critical in the banking industry where all firms offer about the same kinds of products. Accordingly, bankers must be able to build and manage their banks image in order to clearly define the differences between their bank and its competitors.

Switching barriers have been used as marketing strategies to make it costly for customers to switch to another organization. Such barriers include search costs, transaction costs, learning costs, loyal customer discounts and emotional costs (Fornell, 1992). These barriers provide disincentives for the customer to leave the current organization. Curasi and Kennedy (2002) have shown that customer satisfaction does not predict the continuation of the relationship.
High switching costs are an important factor binding the customer to the service organization. Even with relatively low levels of satisfaction, the customer continues to patronize the service provider because repurchasing is easier and more cost effective than searching for a new provider (Curasi and Kennedy, 2002).
S H A M
To compete successfully in todays competitive marketplace, banks must focus on understanding the needs, attitudes, satisfactions and behavioral patterns of the market (Kaynak and Kucukemiroglu, 1992). Consumers evaluate a number of criteria when choosing a bank. However, the prioritization and use of these criteria differs across countries, and thus cannot be generalized. For example, in a study of Canadian customers in Montreal, Laroche and Taylor (1988) found that convenience is the principal reason for bank selection, followed by parental influence with respect to the status of the bank. In contrast, Kaynak and Kucukemiroglu's (1992) study of the Hong Kong banking market discovered that customers choose their banks because of convenience, long association, recommendations of friends and relatives, and accessibility to credit.
Social and technological change has had a dramatic impact on banking. These developments, such as internationalization and unification of money markets and the application of new technologies in information and communications systems to banking, have forced banks to adopt strategic marketing practices. These have included offering extended services, diversification of products, entry into new markets, and emphasizing electronic banking (Mylonakis et al., 1998). This greater range of services and products, along with improvements in communications efficiency, could have a significant impact on customer satisfaction and consequent behavioral intentions. As changes in the broad financial fields emerge and business

activities converge (i.e., the offering of insurance, financial planning, and share brokerage by a bank), it is imperative to differentiate banking products from other similar or complementary ones that are offered by bank affiliates or non-banks (Mylonakis et al., 1998).

STEP 1- BACKGROUND:
In this initial step, the purpose, objective, research questions, and hypothesis of the proposed research are examined. Determining who the audience, their background, especially their educational/readability levels, access, and the process used to select the respondents (sample vs. population) are also part of this step. (Malhotra, 2009).The purpose of my questionnaire was basically to find out the opinions of SCB employees about the relationship between employee engagement and organizational success.

FACTOR ANALYSIS:
Factor analysis is a method of data reduction. It does this by seeking underlying unobservable (latent) variables that are reflected in the observed variables (manifest variables). There are many different methods that can be used to conduct a factor analysis (such as principal axis factor, maximum likelihood, generalized least squares, unweighted least squares), There are also many different types of rotations that can be done after the initial extraction of factors, including orthogonal rotations, such as varimax and equimax, which impose the restriction that the factors cannot be correlated, and oblique rotations, such as promax, which allow the factors to be correlated with one another. Given the number of factor analytic techniques and options, it is not surprising that different analysts could reach very different results analyzing the same data set. However, all analysts are looking for simple structure. Simple structure is pattern of results such that each variable loads highly onto one and only one factor.
S H A M
S
We do factor analysis when is less than 0.4, because then it is too insignificant. Factor analysis attempts to identify underlying variables, or factors, that explain the pattern of correlations within a set of observed variables. Factor analysis is often used in data reduction to identify a small number of factors that explain most of the variance observed in a much larger number of manifest variables. Factor analysis can also be used to generate hypotheses regarding causal mechanisms or to screen variables for subsequent analysis (for example, to identify co linearity prior to performing a linear regression analysis).
PRIMARY DATA:
As mentioned earlier, a survey was conducted with a structured questionnaire. The research was based on the relationship between some independent variables and some dependent variables. The independent variables are:

The dependent variable is: Customer Satisfaction
The questionnaire was divided into two (2) sections. First section was used for respondents different Q & A part and the second section was used for the independent variables. In each section, there were 4-5 relevant statements. In second section the participants had to tick in the boxes provided beside each question according to the extent of their agreement (scale provided at the beginning of the questionnaire).
Scale rating provided was: 1 =Strongly Agree 2 = Agree 3 = Neutral 4 = Disagree 5 = Strongly Disagree

SECONDARY DATA:
While doing this research I took help of some secondary data. Most of the information was obtained through internet browsing. I also went through couple of books on customer satisfaction. SCBs brochures, booklets and intranet were also of great help.
SAMPLE SIZE:

S H A M
TYPE OF RESPONDENTS:
All the respondents were randomly selected for the survey and were both male and female. The participants of the conducted survey were selected from the different level of customers of the SCB. Most of the people participated in the survey were between 25 to 30 years of age. There were employees from different organizations. Most of their educational background ranged from undergraduate to post graduate.
A hypothesis should have testability so that it can proceed to the stage of hypothesis testing. Hypotheses must also be able to explain the phenomena under any set of conditions; if a hypothesis can only explain a phenomenon in one set of conditions, it is generally considered unacceptable. (Malhotra, 2009)

P R E P A R E D B Y
Hypothesis Testing:
This test tries to prove the validity of the given hypothesis. The test involves a series of experiments in many different conditions. If the hypothesis does not stand up to the tests in all conditions then a new one is formed and submitted to the same hypothesis testing. If the new hypothesis passes in all conditions then it can be considered as a reliable and valid theory. I have used statistical hypothesis testing for which I have collected large quantities of data through questionnaires and interview. Then I have conducted tests (mean, correlation, reliability, regression).
S H A M
In a hypothesis test there are two hypotheses: null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. Null hypothesis is the accepted decision and alternative hypothesis is the decision that one tries to prove.
For instance, the success rate of different groups is 15% and 10%, respectively. In this case it would be an incomplete judgment saying that one group is better than the other because other variables like working conditions, job satisfaction are relevant to job performance. On this occasion, hypothesis testing is instrumental in explanation of this dilemma.

Test Statistic:
It is the random variable X whose value is tested to arrive at a decision. The Central Limit Theorem states that for large sample sizes (n > 30) drawn randomly from a population, the distribution of the means of those samples will approximate normality, even when the data in the parent population are not distributed normally. A z statistic is usually used for large sample sizes (n > 30), but often large samples are not easy to obtain, in which case the t-distribution can be used. The population standard deviation s is estimated by the sample standard deviation, s. The t curves are bell shaped and distributed around t=0. The exact shape on a given t-curve depends on the degrees of freedom. In case of performing multiple comparisons by one way ANOVA, the F-statistic is normally used. It is defined as the ratio of the mean square due to the variability between groups to the mean square due to the variability within groups. The critical value of F is read off from tables on the F-distribution knowing the Type-I error and the degrees of freedom between & within the groups.
S H A M
Rejection Region :
It is the part of the sample space (critical region) where the null hypothesis H0 is rejected. The size of this region is determined by the probability (a) of the sample point falling in the critical region when H0 is true. a is also known as the level of significance, the probability of the value of the random variable falling in the critical region. Also it should be noted that the term "Statistical significance" refers only to the rejection of a null hypothesis at some level a. It implies only that the observed difference between the sample statistic and the mean of the sampling distribution did not occur by chance alone.
Decision: If the test statistic falls in the rejection/critical region, H0 is rejected, else H0 is
accepted.

Alpha Value = 0.688 As the Alpha Value is greater than 0.4, therefore we can say that the data is reliable and there is no need for Factor Analysis that would have required Data Reduction and further analysis. This shows that all the questions in that section were objective, accurate and positive. COMMENT: Systematic development of the questionnaire for data collection is important to reduce measurement errors. Well-crafted conceptualization of the content and transformation of the content into questions is inessential to minimize measurement error. Careful attention to detail and understanding of the process involved in developing a questionnaire are of immense value. Not following appropriate and systematic procedures in questionnaire development, testing, and evaluation may undermine the quality and utilization of data. (Malhotra, 2009). Since I tried to follow all the logical steps in making the questionnaire, it helped me to come out with responses which are truly representative.

7. 3 RECOMMENDATION:
It will be nave of me to give suggestions to a multinational corporation like SCB which is already the top financial institution of the world. But based on the survey result and my 3 months experience, I feel SCB would even perform better if it does the following:
S H A M
Use Key Performance Index (KPI) or in short how many customers are served effectively in a stipulated time. Monitor employee activity regularly and take special care during rush hour. Motivate employees to serve customers at a time effective way. Though it might resemble that SCB is providing right solution in most cases, it is also a warning that the percentage of right solution is not up to the fullest. SCB can take service evaluation to check whether their service were unto satisfactory level or not. Though employees are presumed to have willingness to help all the time, the response graph says that there is a possibility that employees are not profession at their services all the time. So their line manager should sit and talk with them about this issue. Fair fees structure is a major issue of customer satisfaction. Fees structures are thereby updated considering market trends and other financial and economic factors. Customers are happy when they get fair fees structures. To them, the word fair
Page 125

P R E P A R E D B Y
includes local and global reputation of the bank, brand image, value chain etc. So these things should be considered while rescheduling the fees. Banking environment has been found good for SCB, as expressed in the graph. Still there are some percentages of customers who dont like the environment. So SCB should sit with their customers to solve the related banking environment problems.
S H A M
Banking has become so user friendly that customer usually like to use ATM cards to withdraw cash than standing into the queue in the bank. From the customer responses it is visible that customers are not at all happy with the current number of ATM booths available for use. As it is an important factor of satisfaction, SCB should look into it. From the graph it is visible that the customers opinion regarding safety in transaction is quite satisfactory. Still there are some percentages of customers who have negative comments regarding safety. So SCB should look into it as safety has become a bigger issue nowadays. If any safety loopholes are found, SCB should take proper action so no mishap can happen.

8. CONCLUSION
Now a day business does not mean just selling and purchasing the products or services. This is very important to conduct the business in an organized and effective manner. Now questions arise that how we can make this business process effective. Advertising can be a bigger
B Y
solution in this sector. More than that maintaining a satisfactory level of customer satisfaction might make the whole selling process a lot more progressive. As we all know in the business world things move on the will of Impression. Standard Chartered is the worlds one of the best leading Banks. And it the duty of this Bangladesh corporate office to hold that same image and continue with the Business.
S H A M
The positive linkage that has been found between independent and dependent variables has proved that there are some specific factors that makes customer satisfied or dissatisfied. As customers are driving force of the banking industry, banks do a lot of marketing regarding the products and services they offer. And also they cater their customers with regularly updated offerings. SCB is doing business for more than 150 years, having a banking structure based on the localized culture, tradition by blending its brand value and norms. The survey I have done shows that customers are satisfied in most cases. However, in some cases they are dissatisfied. Though the report intends and to find the factors of customer satisfaction which it already did, further recommendations have been given so that the customer satisfaction increases rather than decreasing day by day.
