The necessity of general banking activities cannot be ignored in any ways because of its dependency in the banking sector. It provides the opportunity to its local clients and at the same time attractive services are ensured as per the customer needs, wants & demands with the changing environment and competition. The banking system in Bangladesh has passed three decades through different policy, environment and comprises central bank at the apex, nationalization commercial banks, private commercial banks, foreign commercial banks and specialized financial institutions.

Currently the major financial institutions under the banking systems include:
Ø Bangladesh Bank

Ø Leasing Companies
Ø Finance Companies
Ø Merchant Banks

The range of banking products and financial services is also unlimited in scope. Besides all local banks are imposed 5% cash reserve requirement, which is non-interest bearing, and 18% statutory liquidity requirement. This has given rise to higher cost of fund. With the liberation of markets, competition on banking products and financial services seem to be more intense and competitive. In addition, as banking products, which can be offered in our country, are fairly homogeneous in nature due to the tight regulation imposed by Bangladesh Bank.
