CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview of Agriculture Development Bank Limited (ADBL)

With the main objective of providing institutional credit for enhancing the production
and productivity of the agricultural sector in the country, the Agricultural Development
Bank, Nepal was established in 1968 under the ADBN Act 1967, as the successor to
the Cooperative Bank. The Land Reform Savings Corporation was merged with ADBN
in 1973. Subsequent amendments to the Act empowered the bank to extend credit to
small farmers under group liability and expand the scope of financing to promote
cottage industries. Mukharjee, A. K., (2003). The amendments also permitted the bank
to engage in commercial banking activities for the mobilization of domestic resources.
Agricultural Development Bank Limited (ADBL) is an autonomous organization
largely owned by the Government of Nepal. The bank has been working as a premier
rural credit institution since the last three decades, contributing a more than 67 percent
of institutional credit supply in the country. Hence, rural finance is the principal
operational area of ADBL. Furthermore, the bank has also been involved in
commercial banking operations since 1984.

In 1973, the Land Reform Savings Corporation was merged with ADBN and
subsequent amendments to the Act empowered the bank to extend credits to small
farmers under group liability and expand the scope of financing to promote cottage
industries. Moreover, the amendments also permitted the bank to engage in
commercial banking activities for the mobilization of domestic resources. D. R.
(2003).

The bank was established with the main objective of providing institutional credit for
enhancing the production and productivity of the agricultural sector in the country the
enactment of Bank and Financial Institution Act (BAFIA) abolished all Acts related to
financial institutions including the ADBN Act, 1967. Thus, ADBL operates as an "A"
2

category financial Institution under the legal framework of BAFIA and the Company Act,
(2063).

1.2 History of Banking in the World

D. B & Shrestha, M. K., (2007). The history of banking began with the first
prototype banks which were the merchants of the world, who made grain loans
to farmers and traders who carried goods between cities. This was around 2000
BC in Araria, India, and Sumeria. Later, in ancient Greece and during the
Roman Empire, lenders based in temples made loans, while accepting deposits
and performing the change of money. Archaeology from this period in ancient
China and India also shows evidence of money lending.

Bhandari, D. R. (2003).Many histories position the crucial historical


development of a banking system to medieval and Renaissance Italy and
particularly the affluent cities of Florence, Venice, and Genoa. The Bardi and
Peruzzi Families dominated banking in 14th century Florence, establishing
branches in many other parts of Europe. The most famous Italian bank was the
Medici bank, established by Giovanni Medici in 1397. The oldest bank still in
existence is Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, headquartered in Siena, Italy,
which has been operating continuously since 1472.

Development of banking spread from northern Italy throughout the Holy


Roman Empire, and in the 15th and 16th century to northern Europe. This was
followed by a number of important innovations that took place in Amsterdam
during the Dutch Republic in the 17th century and in London since the 18th
century. During the 20th century, developments in telecommunications and
computing caused major changes to banks' operations and let banks
dramatically increase in size and geographic spread. The financial crisis of
2007–2008 caused many bank failures, including some of the world's largest
banks, and provoked much debate about bank regulation in the world.
Although banks played a major role in the emergence of mobile transaction, it
was
3

‘Fonepay’, a service offered by Soft International which brought a revolution in


the early 2000s. Not only did it provide SMS banking but also enabled people
to receive remittance through mobile phones. Another company that enabled
banks to provide mobile banking system was Hello-

Paisa.

1. Whether the bank is providing quality service or not?


2. How is the bank carrying out its loan activities?
3. To identify the situation of different variables of banking services of Agriculture

agricultural sector in the country.

2. To provide deposit and loan facility to an individual.

3. To provide contribution in the economy development of the country.

1.7 Limitation of the Study

The eight weeks period of research helped me to maximize my knowledge about the
banking procedure with some practical aspects. However there had been some limitation
as identified below:

1. The time span for the study is short to conduct detailed study of organization.
2. Core information and some vital data were not shared due to privacy issue.
3. The study may not depict overall banking performance.
4. Huge amount of work load in the staff created obstacle.
5. The reliability of data depends upon the information provided by concerned
organization.

1.8 Research Design

As the nature of the data required for the study will be both nature i.e. qualitative as well
as quantitative nature .So, the study has been designed both qualitatively as well as
quantitatively.
7

Similarly as the objective of the study is to have theoretical knowledge on customer


service and loan activities. So mainly the study has been designed descriptically, non
parametrically and somehow quantitatively.

1.8.1 Population and sample

There are at present about 31 commercial banks in Nepal. As this study is case study
centered on ADBL. So, Agriculture Development Bank, main branch Biratnagar is
choosen for the study among branches all around Nepal. And no any population and
sample is used. And it is purely based on Agriculture Development Bank, main branch
Biratnagar.

1.8.2 Sources of data

The data required for the study are both primary and secondary data. Primary data are
obtained from primary sources and secondary data are obtained from secondary sources.

· Primary data. The data collected for the first time are said to be Primary data. Such data

departments of the bank.

1. Direct personal observations and involvement.


2. Informal meeting with Bank’s member of ADBL Biratnagar, Main Branch.
3. Informal interviews with the customer of Agriculture Development Bank Limited.

· Secondary data. The primary data for one person can be the secondary data for some
others. So, data which are originally collected but obtained from either published
sources or unpublished sources are secondary data. These data are obtained from books
and internet.
8

• Official websites of ADBL and other different websites related to the topic.
• Books, annual progress report, official publication online and offline, newspaper,
brochures.

1.8.3 Data collection technique

CHAPTER-II
RESULT AND ANALYSIS

2.1 Customer Satisfaction

Customer satisfaction can’t be limited to short term strategy it’s a long term strategy of
any firm. It has been increasingly popular due to its helpful attribute towards judgment
of the customer preferences and choices. It simplifies the decision maker role and helps
to take any major or minor decision to cater customer. (Schnaars, 1991)

When expectation of customers is matched the resultant feeling is satisfaction and when
expectation does not match than the resultant feeling is dissatisfaction. Some of the
scholar believes that it can also be called as motivation. (Engel et al. 1990)

Customer satisfaction can be improved by strong communication to customer. A firm


should know what customer expectation are and implement their expectation to make the
customer satisfied. (Customer Satisfaction, 2007) There should be a broad level of
surveys, customer feedback collected to random set of people in a frequent interval time.
Customer satisfaction is an innovative process as product differentiation and presenting
it in a unique flavour thus add more value towards the mind of customer. It is always
expensive to make new customers than to keep existing customers. Rust and Zahorik
(1993, 193-215) believes that financial implications of attracting new customers may be
10

five times as costly as keeping existing customers. Therefore, it is very important for
firms to keep focusing on designing new and standard products to satisfy customers at
high level.

The factors that affect customer satisfaction are courteous employees, friendly
employees, billing timeliness, helpful employees, knowledgeable employees, billing
clarity and service quality, good value, service quality, accuracy in billing, competitive
pricing, good value, quick service and billing clarity (Hokanson, 1995, 16). The figure
below gives clear image about the factors that has direct effect on customer satisfaction.

2.2 Functions of Customer Service Department

The functions Customer Service Department of ADBL are given below:

Figure 1: Functions of Customer Service Department (CSD) (www.adbl.gov.np,

From the Figure 1.3, it describes the functions of customer Service Department. There
are various functions which are given in the table such as Customer Counseling-sub
points are Product Counseling and Service Counseling, likewise another function is
Account Operation-sub points are Account Opening and Account Closing, and another
one is Distribution Activities-sub points are Cheque Book Distribution Account
Statement and ATM Distribution respectively. The major functions of concerned
department are to deal with the customer and handled their queries so the internee also
had to perform the similar activities.

2.3 Introduction to Digital Banking

Digital Banking in Nepal is a new phenomenon to the traditional banking process.


Customers are becoming prone to getting convenient services from the bank. The
expectations of banking customers are changing where the customers expect to get every
banking service more conveniently. Banking and Financial Institutions, governments,
and customers are actively stepping forward for a seamless banking experience and
solution. The digital transformation and less paper-banking model over the traditional
banking processes have enabled banks to deliver customer-centric services.

Digital Banking is the automation of traditional banking that enables customers to access
banking services using online and electronic platforms. It is a digitized approach to
eliminate the foot visit inside a brick-and-mortar bank.

With the speeding information technology and innovation, traditional banking is shifting
towards a modern banking approach. Technology has become an integral part that
facilitates the banking structure, functionalities, customer-centric services, digital
payments, etc.
12

2.4 Digital Banking in Nepal

The Digital Banking transition took a long period in the context of Nepal. Banking in
Nepal started off with Nepal Bank Limited established in 1937, the first commercial
bank of Nepal. In 1990, modern banking started in Nepal with the introduction of credit
cards by Nabil Bank. Likewise, Himalayan Bank introduced ATM and credit cards in
1995. After that, Kumari bank incepted Internet Banking in 2001. In 2004, Laxmi bank
introduced SMS banking and launched the mobile banking platform “Mobile Khata” in
2012.

The total deposit account in banks and financial institutions is 3.46 crores excluding
deposits in Microfinance Institution, as of Poush end 2077. There are 27 Commercial
Banks, 18 Development Banks, 20 Finance Companies, 74 Microfinance, and 1
Infrastructure Development Bank operating as of Mid-April 2021. The total number of
Mobile Banking and Internet Banking customers as of Mid-Jan 2021 is 1.26 crores and
10.90 lakhs respectively.

Over the past two decades, the digital banking scenario elevated along with improvements
in information technology. Internet penetration expanded to 82.79 percent of the
population in mid-Jan 2021. With the internet penetration expansion and the rise of
smartphone users, digital banking in Nepal is gradually leaping over traditional banking.

This exhibits that Nepal is thriving towards a digital economy envisioned according to
Digital Nepal Framework.

2.6 ICT-enabled Banking Delivery Channels in Nepal

Following IT based delivery channels are provided by banks in Nepal:

1. E-Banking (Internet Banking)


2. Mobile Banking
3. Plastic Cards
4. Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and Point of Sale (PoS) Machine
5. Mobile Wallet (Digital Wallet)

We have explained each of these 5 ICT enabled banking delivery channels below:

1. E-Banking(Internet Banking)

This service allows customers subscribing to internet banking services to do


banking transaction by using the internet from their pc, laptop, mobile phone,
etc. Depending on the service offered by the bank, customer may be able to view
their account information, transfer fund from one account to another, and Pay
bills. At present, most of the commercial banks in Nepal offer internet banking
service. As per the statistics from Nepal Rastra Bank , there are 9,92,724 internet
banking subscribers in Nepal as of mid-April.

2. Mobile Banking
15

This service allows customers to perform their banking operation by using a


mobile phone. It can be through both SMS as well as smartphone apps. Typical
services offered by mobile banking service are fund transfer, account
information view, communication with the bank, bill payment and mobile
Topup, among others. Laxmi Bank Limited first started this services in Nepal in
2004 and now most of the class “A” bank offer this service. There has been an
exponential growth in mobile banking in the last 2-3 years. As of mid-April,
there are 10670072 mobile banking customers in Nepal.

3. Plastic Cards

This is another widely used electronic banking channel. Plastic cards are
available in the form of prepaid, debit and credit cards. Such cards can be used to
withdraw money, pay bills using ATM and POS machine, and make payment for
purchased goods online, among others. Plastics card as a credit card was first
introduced in

Nepal by Nabil bank in 1990. There are 7243153 subscribers of debit cards,
156749 subscribers of credit cards and 65530 subscribers of prepaid cards in
Nepal as in mid- April.

4. Automated Teller Machine(ATM) and Point of sale(POS) machine

ATM is a device used to withdraw cash. Himalayan Bank introduced ATM


machine for the first time in Nepal in 1995. The number of ATMs installed is
growing day by day, with the number of ATMs reaching 3945 as in mid-April.

5. Mobile Wallet(Digital Wallet)

Digital/Mobile Wallet is the latest and emerging digital banking product in


Nepal. It allows customers to hold money in their mobile numbers without
having a bank account. Digital wallet customers can load money from their bank
accounts and use the amount for payment of goods and services. Even those
customers without bank accounts can use digital wallets. It can also be used to
provide banking services to customers who do not have a bank account.
16

Digital wallets are synonymous to digital payments in Nepal. The era of digital
payment in Nepal started with the lunch of eSewa in 2009. Currently, a total of 9
payment service operators PSOs) and 14 payment service providers (PSPs) have
received licenses from Nepal Rastra Bank.

As penetration of smartphones is increasing in Nepal and establishing bank and


bank branches is difficult due to geographical terrain, this can be great tool for
financial inclusion. As of today 40 lakh people in Nepal are estimated to be using
digital wallets.

SWIFT does, how it works, and how it makes money. And ADBL SWIFT Code is
ADBLNPK

2.8 Challenges for Growth of Digital Banking in Nepal

Although there has been competition amongst Banks and Financial Institutions (BFIs) to
deliver modern banking services, the majority population in the country has no access to
such services. The reason for this is the concentration of BFIs in urban areas. Modern
18

banking services are available in urban areas only, with most people in rural areas being
deprived of even the basic banking services.

Banking fees, low literacy levels, and inaccessibility of bank services in rural areas due to
poor infrastructure are considered for the low adoption of digital banking services.

Likewise, underdeveloped digital financial services ecosystem with low credit and debit
card penetration, low use of digital payments, online and mobile banking, and restrictive
government policies (e.g., low maximum limit of digital payments) are thought to be
hindering the expected growth and adoption of digital banking and payments services in
Nepal
19

CHAPTER III

SUMMARYAND CONCLUSION

3.1 Summary

Today's banking industry has become very competitive; ADBL Bank Ltd seems as one
of the reputed and emerging development banks in Nepalese Banking Sector. The bank
is focus to provide efficient, customer focus and excellent financial services through
modern technology and professionalism, maximize return to the stakeholders, provide
equitable working environment to the employees with good corporate governance and
act as a responsible corporate citizen.

3.2 Conclusion

Although Agriculture Development Bank has a strong financial base and capital
structure as well as good market status and reputation in order to attract new customers
and increase deposit collection Agriculture Development Bank should introduce new
schemes.

Customer services should be diversified and should further be accommodated.

Interest rate on deposit should be competitive with other commercial banks.


20

The bank should aim towards increasing its customers but it must also provide the
quality services to the present customers. For this the bank must make plans and policies
keeping customers in mind. Bank should also pay attention towards the priority sector
and industrial sector for lending loans to develop the economic condition of the country.
Bank should provide more facilities to the staff, it has to provide job satisfaction ,
training and should encourage its staff.
