banking branch.
Southeast bank use Ultimus software for performing their banking activities.

Therefore it delays to performing banking activities at time.
The Branch is making profit day by day at a steady rate. The rate of deposit
collection is increasing at a positive rate.

SEBL’s ATM booths are not sufficient. So they should open more ATM
