CHAPTER – 2
ORGANIZATIONAL
OVERVIEW

2.1 Company profile:
Grameen Bank has inverted conventional banking practice by removing the need for
collateral and created a banking system based on mutual trust, accountability,
participation and creativity. GB provides credit to the poorest of the poor in rural
Bangladesh, without any collateral. At GB, credit is a cost effective weapon to fight
poverty and it serves as a catalyst in the overall development of socioeconomic
conditions of the poor who have been kept outside the banking orbit on the grounds that
they are poor and hence not bankable. Professor Muhammad Yunus, the founder of
'Grameen Bank' and its Managing Director, reasoned that if financial resources can be
made available to the poor people on terms and conditions that are appropriate and
reasonable, 'these millions of small people with their millions of small pursuits can add
up to create the biggest development wonder.
Grameen Bank has total number of borrowers is 6.95 million, 97 percent of them are
women. With 2,568 branches. It works in 75,359 villages; Total staff is 21,363 in
Bangladesh.
Grameen Bank’s positive impact on its poor and formerly poor borrowers has been
documented in many independent studies carried out by external agencies including the
World Bank, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the
Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS).
2.2 History:
Grammen Bank Grammen Bank was founded by Prof. Muhammad Yunus.He was born
in 28th June, 1940 in the village of Bathua, in Hathazari, Chittagong, the business center
of what was then Eastern Bengal. He was the third of 14 children of whom five died in
infancy. His father was a Successful goldsmith who always encouraged his sons to seek
higher education. But his biggest influence was his mother. Sufia Khatun, who always
helped any poor that knocked on their door. This inspired himself to eradication of
poverty. His early childhood years were spent in the village. In 1947, his family moved

to the city of Chittagong, where his father had the jeweler business.
In 1974 professor Muhammad yunus, a Bangladeshi economist
from Chittagong University, led his students on a field trip to a poor
village. They interview a woman who made bamboo stools, and
learn that she had to borrow the equivalent of 15p to buy raw
bamboo for each stool made. After repaying the middleman,
sometimes at rates as high as 10% a week, she was let with a penny
profit margin. Had she been able to borrow at more advantage rates,
she would have been able to mass an economic cushion and raise
herself above subsistence level.
Realizing that there must be something terribly wrong with the
economics he was teaching, Yunus took matters into his own hands and from his own
pocket lent the equivalent of 17 to 42 basket – weavers. He found that it was possible with
this tiny amount not only to help them survive, but also to create the spark of personal
initiative and enterprise necessary to pull themselves out of poverty.
Against the advice of bank and government, Yunus carried on giving out ‘micro-loans’,
and in 1983 formed the Grameen Bank, meaning ‘village bank’ founded on principles of
trust and solidarity. Against the advice of banks and government, Yunus carried on giving
out ‘micro-loans’, and in 1983 formed the Grameen Bank, meaning ‘village bank’ founded
on principles of trust and solidarity. In Bangladesh by 2015, Grameen has 2,568 branches,
with 21,751 staff serving 8.81 million borrowers in 81,392 villages. On any working day
Grameen collects an average of $1.5 million in weekly installments. Of the borrowers, 97%
are women and over 97% of the loans are paid back, a recovery rate higher than any other
banking system. Grameen methods are applied in projects in 58 countries, including the
US, Canada, France, the Netherlands and Norway.

2.3 Grameen Bank Mission:
Enable the poor, especially women, to create a world without poverty and hunger.
Grameen Foundation is a global nonprofit that creates breakthrough solutions spanning
financial, agricultural and health services. Grameen Bank use digital technology and
strengthen local partner networks to design and deliver solutions that open opportunity
for women and families living in poverty.
Grameen Bank work is inspired by the people we serve. Grameen Bank believe there
is no greater force than the power of women driven to improve their own lives and the
lives of those around them. But they need real breakthroughs that enable them to
overcome the economic, cultural and gender barriers that keep families trapped in
poverty.
To engender such breakthroughs, Grameen Bank design strategies that equip women
and families with essential tools and knowledge. Grameen Bank train networks of field
agents to implement the solutions, and provide training and education to the women
themselves. Grameen Bank bring together partners to co-design and scale-up solutions.
And, Grameen Bank evaluate our impact to continuously improve the work Grameen
Bank do.
The most important breakthrough is hers.
It is the breakthrough of a woman who is no longer afraid to try something new. Using
new tools, knowledge and connections, she began saving. She invested in her farm. She
talked to her husband about planning their family. Her children were hungry and sick,

then she learned how she could help them. She took action. She changed her life, and the
lives of her children and her community.
The most important breakthrough is hers -- and that is just the beginning.
Our breakthroughs are:
Powered by digital innovation:
Grameen Bank make use of the mobile phone that is in nearly every household to break

people in poor communities.

a women’s self-help group in rural Bangladesh, a savings groups in a West African
village, or a farmers’ collective in the mountains of Mexico. Working through
groups further extends the reach of digital solutions, and supports members as they
build community, confidence and capability.
 Realized with partners:
Grameen Bank convene the partners needed to create and implement sustainable
solutions. Microfinance institutions and banks, technology companies and
agribusinesses, non-governmental organizations and government agencies — all
can be partners. Many partners operate their own networks of field agents. Grameen
Bank train them on the new tools and ways of working, enabling partners to scale
and sustain solutions. Partners have their own breakthroughs, as they learn how to
better work with and for the poor.

2.6.2 Ten Indicators:
Every year GB staff evaluate their work and check whether the socio-economic situation
of GB members is improving. GB evaluates poverty level of the borrowers using ten
indicators.
A member is considered to have moved out of poverty if her family fulfills the
following criteria:
1. The family lives in a house worth at least Tk. 25,000 (twenty-five thousand) or a
house with a tin roof, and each member of the family is able to sleep on bed instead
of on the floor.
2. Family members drink pure water of tube-wells, boiled water or water purified by
using alum, arsenic-free, purifying tablets or pitcher filters.
3. All children in the family over six years of age are all going to school or finished
primary school.
4. Minimum weekly loan installment of the borrower is Tk. 200 or more.
5. Family uses sanitary latrine.
6. Family members have adequate clothing for everyday use, warm clothing for
winter, such as shawls, sweaters, blankets, etc. and mosquito-nets to protect
themselves from mosquitoes.
7. Family has sources of additional income, such as vegetable garden, fruit-bearing
trees, etc., so that they are able to fall back on these sources of income when they
need additional money.
8. The borrower maintains an average annual balance of Tk. 5,000 in her savings
accounts.
9. Family experiences no difficulty in having three square meals a day throughout the
year, i. e. no member of the family goes hungry any time of the year.
10. Family can take care of the health. If any member of the family falls ill, family can
afford to take all necessary steps to seek adequate healthcare.

2.6.3 Credit Delivery System:
Grameen Bank Credit Delivery means taking credit to the very poor in their villages by
means of the essential elements of the Grameen credit delivery system.
Grameen Bank credit delivery system has the following features:
 There is an exclusive focus on the poorest of the poor.
Exclusivity is ensured by:
1) Establishing clearly the eligibility criteria for selection of targeted clientele
and adopting practical measures to screen out those who do not meet them.
2) In delivering credit, priority has been increasingly assigned to women.
3) The delivery system is geared to meet the diverse socio-economic
development needs of the poor.
 Borrowers are organized into small homogeneous groups.
Such characteristics facilitate group solidarity as well as participatory interaction.
Organizing the primary groups of five members and federating them into centers
has been the foundation of Grameen Bank’s system. The emphasis from the very
outset is to organizationally strengthen the Grameen clientele, so that they can
acquire the capacity for planning and implementing micro level development
decisions. The Centers are functionally linked to the Grameen Bank; whose field
workers have to attend Centre meetings every week.
 Special loan conditionality’s which are particularly suitable for the poor.
Include:
1. Very small loans given without any collateral
2. Loans repayable in weekly instalments spread over a year
3. Eligibility for a subsequent loan depends upon repayment of first loan
4. Individual, self-chosen, quick income generating activities which employ
the skills that borrowers already posses
5. Close supervision of credit by the group as well as the bank staff
6. Stress on credit discipline and peer support solidarity.
7. Special safeguards through savings to minimize the risks that the poor
confront
8. Transparency in all bank transactions most of which take place at center
meetings.

 This is reflected in the “sixteen decisions” adopted by Grameen borrowers. This
helps to:
1) Raise the social and political consciousness of the newly organized groups,
2) Focus increasingly on women from the poorest households, whose urge for
survival has a far greater bearing on the development of the family,
3) Encourage their monitoring of social and physical infrastructure projects –
housing, sanitation, drinking water, education, family planning, etc.
 Expansion of loan portfolio to meet diverse development needs of the poor.
As the general credit programmer gathers momentum and the borrowers become
familiar with credit discipline, other loan programmers are introduced to meet growing
social and economic development needs of the clientele. Besides housing, such
programmers include:
1) Credit for building sanitary latrines
2) Credit for installation of tube-wells that supply drinking water and irrigation for
kitchen gardens
3) Credit for seasonal cultivation to buy agricultural inputs
4) Loan for leasing equipment / machinery, i.e., cell phones purchased by Grameen
Bank members
5) Finance projects undertaken by the entire family of a seasoned borrower.

2.8 Whats differences between Grameen bank and conventional bank?
Grameen Bank methodology is almost the reverse of the conventional banking
methodology. Conventional banking is based on the principle that the more you have,
the more you can get. In other words, if you have little or nothing, you get nothing. As
a result, more than half the population of the world is deprived of the financial services
of the conventional banks. Conventional banking is based on collateral, Grameen
system is collateral- free. Grameen Bank starts with the belief that credit should be
accepted as a human right, and builds a system where one who does not possess
anything gets the highest priority in getting a loan. Grameen methodology is not based
on assessing the material possession of a person, it is based on the potential of a person.
Grameen believes that all human beings, including the poorest, are endowed with
endless potential.
Conventional banks look at what has already been acquired by a person. Grameen looks
at the potential that is waiting to be unleashed in a person. Conventional banks are
owned by the rich, generally men. Grameen Bank is owned by poor women.
Overarching objective of the conventional banks is to maximize profit. Grameen
Bank’s objective is to bring financial services to the poor, particularly women and the
poorest to help them fight poverty, stay profitable and financially sound. It is a
composite objective, coming out of social and economic visions. Conventional banks
focus on men, Grameen gives high priority to women. 97 per cent of Grameen Bank’s
borrowers are women. Grameen Bank works to raise the status of poor women in their
families by giving them ownership of assets. It makes sure that the ownership of the
houses built with Grameen Bank loans remain with the borrowers, i.e., the women.

2.9 Poverty Reduction Strategy:
Profitable and sustainable financial intermediation is possible with the poor, who are
otherwise excluded from the formal credit system because of lack of collateral, and poverty
reduction is possible through targeted credit. This is the key finding of an ongoing study of
the Grameen Bank conducted jointly by the World Bank and the Bangladesh Institute of
Development Studies. This study uses aggregate and branch- level data of Grameen Bank
for 1985 through 1993 to determine how the Bank operates, at what cost, and whether its
program is sustainable and replicable. The study uses village-level data to examine macro-
level effects, such as the Bank's impact on rural wages. The study also uses household
survey data to examine household and intrahousehold impacts on income, employment,
asset accumulation, nutrition, health, and education. Some of the findings of this study are
reported below.
 Strategies for Poverty Reduction:
Grameen Bank believes that lack of access to credit is the biggest constraint for the
rural poor. If the poor are provided credit on reasonable terms, they themselves best
know how to increase their incomes. Grameen Bank targets and mobilizes the poor and
creates social and financial conditions so that they receive credit by identifying a source
of self-employment in familiar rural non-farm activities. The Bank's method of
targeting the poor is effective as it mobilizes only those who are willing to bear the
costs of group formation, training, and monitoring each other's activities, and those who
are satisfied with the relatively small sums they can borrow and repay. To better meet
its ultimate goal of social and economic development, Grameen Bank targets women
more than men. By doing so, it directly channels credit to the poorest and the least
empowered and helps improve the living standards of their families. Along with
providing credit, Grameen Bank offers guidelines to members for codes of conduct and
activities aimed at improving their social and financial conditions. It also provides
training to women in maternal health, nutrition, and childcare to generate greater
demand for basic health care services.

 Strategies for Financial Intermediation:
Lending entails high risk of loan default due to adverse selection of borrowers and
disability of lenders to enforce the loan contracts. Contrary to the practice of formal
finance, Grameen Bank lends (in small amounts) to the poor based on group
responsibility where individual access to credit depends on group repayment
behavior. Group lending uses peer pressure to monitor and enforce contracts and
helps screen good borrowers from bad ones. Unlike other development banks,
Grameen Bank mobilizes savings as an integral part of lending. Each member is
required to save Taka 1 each week and buy a Grameen Bank share worth Taka 100.
In addition, each borrower contributes 5 percent of the loan amount to a group fund
and Taka 5 for every 1,000 Takas above loan size greater than Taka 1,000 to an
emergency fund. These savings mobilization schemes provide protection of loans
against default, an internal source of finance, and a stake for the members in Bank
operations.
 Grameen's Success in Poverty Reduction:
While sophisticated econometric analysis is underway, preliminary analysis
suggests that Grameen Bank has generated a number of benefits both at the
household and village level. At the household level, the benefits from program
participation include changes in income, employment, assets accumulation, net
worth, and other household welfare indicators (such as contraceptive use, school
enrollment of children, etc.). Program participation has enabled members to
enhance their assets and net worth. For example, a program participating household

owns 56 percent more resources and 51 percent more net worth than a nonparticipating
household. Program participation has also increased calorie intake, especially among
female household members. The incidence of poverty is substantially reduced among
program participants. Labor force participation, especially among women, is higher
among participants than nonparticipants; women's labor force participation is 66
percent among program participants compared to 52 percent for non-participants. The
school participation rate of girls is also higher for participants (57 percent) than for
nonparticipants (36 percent). Program participation also increases the use of
contraceptives, better toilet facilities, and better drinking water. In addition, program
placement generates income gains for the poor as a whole through its impacts on the
local resource allocation. For example, the daily male wage is 23 percent higher in
program villages compared with no program villages. Even after controlling for village
characteristics, the study finds that up to 11 percent of the 23 percent wage increase is
due to Grameen Bank program placement.
 Grameen's Replicability:
The group-based lending is replicable in other countries where the market failure
requires credit to be targeted but the existing financial institutions cannot be used to
deliver credit. The model is also desirable if financial intermediation requires social
mobilization such as organization, and imperfect information and imperfect
enforcement make lending highly risky and costly. In order to successfully replicate
group- based lending for poverty alleviation, the poor may need organizational help and
other inputs to improve their income and productivity. But providing such inputs are
costly for an organization which may also need experimentation to determine the modus
operandi of an appropriate delivery mechanism. However, the poor are not likely to be
capable of bearing the full costs associated with program adaptation and
implementation. Thus, successful replication depends on the availability of subsidized
funds at the initial stage and above all, on the creativity and commitment of the
leadership.

CHAPTER - 3
THEORETICAL ASPECTS

3.1 Customer Satisfaction:
Definition: Customer satisfaction is a judgement that a product or service feature, or the
product or service itself, provides a pleasurable movement is called customer satisfaction.
Philip Kotler: defines customer satisfaction as a 'person's feeling of pleasure or
disappointment which resulted from comparing a product's perceived performance or
outcome against his/her expectations'.
Business always starts and closes with customers and hence the customers must be treated
as the King of the market. All the business enhancements, profit, status, image etc. of the
organization depends on customers. Hence it is important for all the organizations to meet
all the customers’ expectations and identify that they are satisfied customer.
Customer satisfaction is the measure of how the needs and responses are collaborated and
delivered to excel customer expectation. It can only be attained if the customer has an
overall good relationship with the supplier. In today’s competitive business marketplace,
customer satisfaction is an important performance exponent and basic differentiation of
business strategies. Hence, the more is customer satisfaction more is the business and the
bonding with customer.
3.2 Factors affecting customer satisfaction:
 Employee Behavior is one of the factor that can affect customer badly. For an
example if banker behave badly to a customer then the customer switch to other
bank and the reputation of the bank will be negative. And with the members of
losing customer they will face financial problem in the long run.
 Quality of service customer of satisfaction is greatly affected by the quality of the
service provided by the bankers. For an example, if a banker gives slow service then
the customer will be dissatisfied.
 Attribution the perceived causes of event influence perception of satisfaction a well.
For an example, if a bank fails to get the proper service for her own mistakes, the
she will be the service.
 Perception of equity a fairness customer satisfaction is also influenced by

perception of equity and fairness. For an example, priority customer is also
influenced by perceptions of equity and fairness. For example, priority customer
of a bank always gets the special service.
 Technological and engineering aspect of the service play an important role. For
example, if the ATM booth of the bank work slowly and if there is shortage of
cash in the booth, then it will create dissatisfaction in customer.
3.3 What do customer want?
Customer expectation are two type:
1. Expressed
2. Implied
Expressed: Customer expectation is those requirements that are written down the
contract are agree upon by parties for example, product satisfaction and delivery
requirements.
Implied: Customer expectation are not written or spoken but are the ones the customer
would expect the supplier to meeting never the less. For example, a customer would
expect the service representative who calls who call on him to be knowledgeable and
competent to solve a problem on the spot.

CHAPTER – 6
RECOMMENDATIONS
&
CONCLUSION

6.1Recommendation:
 Grameen Bank should modify loan repayment schedule and for beggar
members to avoid the trouble for early repayment.
 The loan amount should be sufficient enough in order to meet up the demand of
the borrower.
 Majority of the respondents disagree about the statement that loan installment
system of Grameen Bank is flexible for them so, Grameen Bank should maintain
the flexible loan installment.
 Majority of the respondent disagree about the statement that Grameen Bank
provide big financial loan to the company. So, Grameen Bank should provide
big financiallone to the company.
 It should increase more new sector for loan distribution.

6.2Conclusion:
Grameen Bank is working with passion and activity, allowing the poor people to get a
microcredit. As Dr. Yunus said, "Credit is a human right." During this internship, I realize
that poverty is actually caused by the social structure rather than any lack of capability on
the part of the people. 1 am one of the witnesses who saw how microcredit helps people,
how the poor people get a loan, how they overcome the poverty. After this internship I have
realized the effectiveness of microcredit and how it has revolutionized the life of the poor.
Of course, financial aid is not the one and only solution to the poor. However, if this kind
of institution can give hope and courage to the poor, we could surely put poverty into
museum.
