1.6. Reasons of choosing DBBL and IBBL:

Dutch-Bangla Bank limited (DBBL) and Islami-Bank Bangladesh limited (IBBL) are two leading private owned commercial Banks in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, two types of banking system are operating.

DBBL is the bank which is working for generating profit by collecting money as a form of deposits with a low rate of interest rate and supply money on the basis of short term and long term loan to the business people with a high rate of interest. The actual profit generated gap between the interest given to depositors and interest taken borrowers.

IBBL is the bank which is operating under a distinct system of banking, Islamic Shariah, Islamic banks have been facing immense competition from other Islamic banks and conventional banks of domestic and multination origin. It is committed to conduct all banking and investment activities on the basis of interest-free profit-loss sharing system. The Bank has been maintaining its leading position among Private Sector Banks of the country in respect of its Deposit, Investment & Profitability. IBBL’s well diversified product lines offer a wide range of Shari’ah based commercial banking services comprised both asset-based and liability-based.

2. The organization:

2.1. Historical Background of Dutch Bangla Bank Limited:

Dutch-Bangla Bank started operation is Bangladesh's first joint venture bank. The bank was an effort by local shareholders spearheaded by M Sahabuddin Ahmed (founder chairman) and the Dutch company FMO.

DBBL was the first bank in Bangladesh to be fully automated. The Electronic-Banking Division was established in 2002 to undertake rapid automation and bring modern banking services into this field. Full automation was completed in 2003 and hereby introduced plastic money to the Bangladeshi masses. DBBL also operates the nation's largest ATM fleet and in the process drastically cut consumer costs and fees by 80%. Moreover, DBBL choosing the low profitability route for this sector has surprised many critics. DBBL had pursued the mass automation in Banking as a CSR activity and never intended profitability from this sector. As a result it now provides unrivaled banking technology offerings to all its customers. Because of this mindset, most local banks have joined DBBL's banking infrastructure instead of pursuing their own.

Even with a history of hefty technological investments and even larger donations, consumer and investor confidence has never waned. Dutch-Bangla Bank stock set the record for the highest share price in the Dhaka Stock Exchange in 2008.

2.2. Historical Background of IBBL:

Bangladesh is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. The people of this country are deeply committed to Islamic way of life as enshrined in the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah.

Naturally, it remains a deep cry in their hearts to fashion and design their economic lives in accordance with the precepts of Islam. The establishment of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited on March 13, 1983, is the true reflection of this inner urge of its people, which started functioning with effect from March 30, 1983. This Bank is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. It is committed to conduct all banking and investment activities on the basis of interest-free profit-loss sharing system. In doing so, it has unveiled a new horizon and ushered in a new silver lining of hope towards materializing a long cherished dream of the people of Bangladesh for doing their banking transactions in line with what is prescribed by Islam. With the active co-operation and participation of Islamic Development Bank (IDB) and some other Islamic banks, financial institutions, government bodies and eminent personalities of the Middle East and the Gulf countries, Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited has by now earned the unique position of a leading private commercial bank in Bangladesh.

2.3 Nature of Business of Dutch-Bangla Limited:

The bank grew its reputation through social work rather than profits. The bank's conservative nature, long-term strategies, hefty social donations and technology investments have always led to modest but steady profits. DBBL has been known to be overly conservative in its banking practices. Much of the success and strategy has been attributed to the leadership of the founder chairman, M Sahabuddin Ahmed.

Dutch Bangla Bank is noted to be the first and only local bank in Bangladesh to have an automated banking system. The bank has spent over BDT 2 Billion in automation upgrades (first bank in Bangladesh to do so). This automation took place in 2003 whereby services of the bank were available uniformly though any branch, ATM and internet. Banking was a paper based until DBBL, with its wide local network, delivered banking automation and modern banking services to the masses.

2.4 Nature of Business of Islami-Bank limited:

Bangladesh is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. The people of this country are deeply committed to Islamic way of life as enshrined in the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah. Naturally, it remains a deep cry in their hearts to fashion and design their economic lives in accordance with the precepts of Islam. This Bank is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. It is committed to conduct all banking and investment activities on the basis of interest-free profit-loss sharing system. To maintain islami shariah the bank performs such tasks

To maintain all types of deposit accounts. To make investment. To conduct foreign exchange business. To extend other banking services. To conduct social welfare activities through Islami Bank Foundation.

2.5 Mission & vision of Dutch-Bangla Bank limited:

Dutch-Bangla Bank engineers enterprise and creativity in business and industry with a commitment to social responsibility. "Profits alone" do not hold a central focus in the Bank's operation; because "man does not live by bread and butter alone".

Dutch-Bangla Bank dreams of better Bangladesh, where arts and letters, sports and athletics, music and entertainment, science and education, health and hygiene, clean and pollution free environment and above all a society based on morality and ethics make all our lives worth living. DBBL's essence and ethos rest on a cosmos of creativity and the marvel-magic of a charmed life that abounds with spirit of life and adventures that contributes towards human development.

2.6 Mission and vision of Islami-Bank limited:

To conduct interest-free banking

To establish participatory banking instead of banking on debtor-creditor relationship

To invest on profit and risk sharing basis

To accept deposits on Mudaraba & Al-Wadeah basis

To establish a welfare-oriented banking system.
