1.5 Hierarchy Analysis
Banking sector has a vital role to play in the economic activities and development
of any country. This sector is much more important in a developing country like
Bangladesh. The whole scenario of the economy of a country can be ascertained by
examining the condition of the banking sector. In Bangladesh, the banking sector
dominates the financial sector and macroeconomic management largely depends on the
performance of the banking sector. Banking grew primarily in the public sector with
main emphasis on restructuring of the financial system and development needs of the
war-torn economy with gradual liberalization in subsequent years. It was increasingly
felt that banks should be allowed in the private sector for giving a fillip to development
process on the basis of private initiative.
In the 80s for the first time a number of banks in the private sector were allowed.
Subsequently in the mid 90s some more banks in private sector also commenced
operations. Finally, in 1999, 3rd generation of private sector banks was given permission
to operate. As a result while up to 80s public sector banks dominated financial sector,banks in the private sector were given increased responsibility with the passage of time.
At present there are 51 scheduled banks operating all over the country. Out of
these, 9 are state-owned (including five specialized banks), 29 are private commercial
banks and the rest 13 are foreign commercial banks.
Private commercial banks are divided into three groups according to their
beginning of business. They are familiar in the name of 1st generation, 2nd generation and

Cash department is the most vital and sensitive organ of a branch as it deals with all
26 | P a g e
7/29/2019 loan pricing of the National Bank Limited
27/62
kinds of cash transactions. This department starts the day with cash in vault. Each day
some cash i.e. opening cash balances are transferred to the cash officers from the cash
vault. Net figure of this cash receipts and payments are added to the opening cash
balance. The figure is called closing balance. This closing balance is then added to the
vault. And this is the final cash balance figure for the bank at the end of any particular
day.
Functions of cash department
-Cash payment
-Cheque cancellation process
-Cash receipt
Cash payment
Cash payment is made only against cheque.
This is the unique function of the backing system, which is known as "payment
on demand.
It makes payment only against its printed valid cheque.
Cheque cancellation process
Receiving cheque by the employee in the cash counter and verification of the following
by the cash officer in the computer section:
Date of the cheque. (it is presented within 6 month from issue date)
Issued from this branch.
An amount in figure and in word does not differ.
Cheque is not torn or mutilated. Then gives pay cash seal and sends to the
payment counter and payment office makes payment.
Cash receipt
.
Another important function of this department is receipt of cash. Depositors deposit
27 | P a g e
7/29/2019 loan pricing of the National Bank Limited
28/62
money in the account through this section by deposit slip.
It receives deposit from depositors in the form of cash.
So it is the "mobilization unit" of the banking system.
It collects money only its receipts from.
It receives cash for issuing pay order, DD.
Books maintained by this section:
Vault register: It keeps accounts of cash balance in vault at the bank.
Cash receipt register: Cash receipt in whole of the day is recorded here.
Cash payment register: Cash payments are made in a day are entries here.
Rough vault register: Cash collection for final entry in vault registers done here,
as any error and correction is not acceptable.
Cash balance book: Balance here is compared with vault register. If no deference
is found, indicate no error and omission.
2.3.1.4 LOCAL REMITTANCE
Sending money from one place to another place for the customer is another important
service of the bank. This service is an important part of transaction system. In this
service system, people, especially businessman can transfer funds from one place to
another place easily. There are three kinds of technique for remitting money from one
place to another these are:
-Demand draft (DD)
-Pay order (PO)
Demand Draft (DD)
28 | P a g e
7/29/2019 loan pricing of the National Bank Limited
29/62
DD is an order of issuing branch on another branch of the same bank to pay specified
sum of money to payee on demand. It is generally issued when customer wants to remit
money in any place i.e. outside or the clearinghouse area of issuing branch. Payee can be
the purchaser himself or another mentioned in the DD. It is safe technique of transferring
money from one place to another.
Pay Order (P.O)
Pay order gives the right to claim from the issuing bank. A payment is an instrument
from one branch to the branch of the bank to pay a specific sum of money. Unlike
cheque there is no possibility of dishonoring because before issuing pay order the bank
takes money in advance. There are three reasons behind use of P.O:
Remitting Purpose
Advice to Pay
Payment against bill submitted to the bank.
Pay Order consists of three parties:
Beneficiary
Applicant
Counter Part.
2.3.1.5 CLEARING SECTION
This section receives all kinds of cheque in favor of the valued client for clearing on the
part of their banking services. After receiving cheque it is necessary to endorse it andcross it specially. Clearing of cheque is done through the clearinghouse in Bangladesh
Bank.
1st clearing
2nd clearing
Types of cheque for clearing
29 | P a g e
7/29/2019 loan pricing of the National Bank Limited
30/62
There are four types of cheque for clearing:
Inward clearing cheque.
Outward clearing cheque.
Inward bills for collection.
Outward bills for collection.
2.3.1.6 ACCOUNTS SECTION
This is obviously an independent and unique department, which works as the
composition of all the departments of the branch. This section is fully computerized. So
the conventional large ledger and journal books are not kept like the some nationalized
bank. It receives the vouchers from all departments and prepares the subsidiaries and
maintains accounts.
ESTABLISHMENT SECTION
This section deals with employees salary, many types of internal expenses
such as purchases of stationary, equipment, machinery, payment of labor
cost and convince. In case of leave of absence employee collects prescribed
form from this section.
ICC (Internal control and compliance department)
Internal control and compliance department, this department checks all the
activities as per requirements of Bangladesh Bank.
2.3.1.7 LOANS AND ADVANCES
This is the survival unit of a bank because until and unless the success of this section is a
question to every bank. If this section is not properly working, the bank it self may
become bankrupt. This is important because this is the earning unit of the bank. Banks
are accepting deposits from the depositors in condition of providing interest to them as
well as safe keeping their deposits. Now the question may gradually arise how the bank
will provide interest to the clients and the simple answer is advance.
We often use loans and advances as an alternative to one another. But academically this
30 | P a g e
7/29/2019 loan pricing of the National Bank Limited
31/62
concept is incorrect. Advance is the combination of such items where loan is a part only
for this credit section of the bank.
TYPES OF ADVANCE
All loan and advance that are provided by this bank can be categorized into there heads
according to the nature and characteristics of each product:
Figure: Shows the different types of advances.
2.3.1.8 FOREIGN EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT
The Foreign Exchange Department is mainly divided into three sections. Such as-
1. Import Section
2. Export Section &
3. Remittance Section
The import Section deals with L/C in the perspective of the importers and theExport Section deals with L/C in the perspective of the exporters.
2.4.1 SWOT Analysis of NBL
SWOT analysis refers to analysis of Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats of
the organization. This analysis helps the organization to facilitate improve its future
performance in comparison to its competitors. An organization can also study its current

7/29/2019 loan pricing of the National Bank Limited

position through SWOT analysis. For these reason, SWOT analysis is considered as an
important tool for making changes in the strategic management of an organization.
2.4.1.1 Strengths
National Bank LTD. has a Reputation all over the country for its excellent service
The bank has already achieved a high growth rate of deposit, Loans and advances,
Import and Export business.
A well-educated and trained workforce is the major strengths of National Bank LTD.
The bank has satisfactory IT infrastructure
National Bank LTD. has satisfied customers
Product Diversification is also a major strength of National Bank LTD.
Skilled, creative & committed manpower
They have their own training center.
The working environment of the bank is very friendly, interactive and informal.
There is no barrier or boundary to communicate with the superiors and the
employees.
2.4.1.2 Weaknesses
The promotional activities of National Bank LTD. are not adequate to gain market
share.
Most of the branch does not have any car parking facility.
Shortage of spaces.
In selecting people for providing services to the customers, the employees
personality, manners, attitudes and acceptability are not properly examined.
Only few branches have spacious car parking facility, which discourage some
customers to deal with National Bank LTD.
There are two major categorized employees one group who are from different banks
or joined through competitive exams, the other group who joined here from different
references. There is a big difference in term of attitude, manner, working style, and
32 | P a g e
7/29/2019 loan pricing of the National Bank Limited
33/62
behavior between the two groups, which has bad impact to the service. Branch
management also loves to ignore the problem.
2.3.1.3 Opportunities
National Bank LTD. has diversified product offering for Small and Medium
Enterprises (SMEs)
Foreign bank penetration may help in technology transfer in our banking system
catering the necessity of improving operational efficiency. To increase operational
efficiency, National Bank LTD. can adopt technology of foreign bank.
Different types of retail lending products have a great appeal to our middle class
people. National Bank LTD. can bring these products for retail lending.
They do not look forward to increase their product or service basket.
They have a big opportunity if they provide online Banking system.
2.3.1.4 Threats
Increasing competition. More private commercial banks are providing service in the
market.
Foreign bank penetration is a major threat for banking industry. It is too bad to lose
market share.
Regulatory restrictions may be a cause of threats.
In our country industries are becoming sick at an increasing rate and growth of
industrialization is very slow in the country. Therefore, it is very likely that poor
industrial growth will affect the potentiality of National Bank LTD.

3.9 TOPIC ANALYSIS AND DESCRIPTION
37 | P a g e
7/29/2019 loan pricing of the National Bank Limited
38/62
One of the most difficult tasks in lending to business firm and other borrowing
customers is deciding how to price the loan. The lender wants to charge a high enough
rate to ensure that each loan will be profitable and compensate the bank fully for the
risks involved. However, the loan rate must also be low enough to accommodate the
business customer in such a way that he or she can successfully repay the loan and not be
driven away to another lender or into the open market for credit. The more competition
the bank faces for a customers loan business, the more it will have to keep the price of
that loan at a reasonable level consistent with competition in the financial marketplace.
Indeed, in a loan market characterized by intense competition, the lender is price taker,
not a price setter. With deregulation of banking under way in many nations, deregulated
competition has significantly narrowed the profit margins banks earn from selling
deposits making loans. This makes correct pricing of loans even more imperative for
bankers today than in the past.
Competition in the commercial loan market has increased dramatically over the
last decade. This is true for a number of reasons. First, there is more capital in the
industry than can be put to good purpose. Therefore, banks have been bidding down
existing deals and compressing margins. Second, institutions from other parts of the
financial sector have offered product innovations and product alternatives such as private
placement as direct competitors to the standard loan product. This, in turn, has caused
additional pressure on spreads in the marketplace. Third, given the well-known cycle in
credit spreads, we are now facing a market in which credit spreads are exceedingly tight.
As a result of the recent contraction in the credit spreads across all credit ratings,
individual banks are now facing a pricing grid with an unprecedented and unreasonable
compensation for the risk borne. Fourth, competitors and customers have learned more
about the value of structure. As a result, banks have been suffering from inappropriate
pricing of the imbedded options built into their loan products.
The net result is that many bankers are building loan portfolios that do not cover
their true costs, i.e., the cost of funding, the level of the risk, and the nature of the
imbedded options contained in the loan contract. In order to remedy this situation, the
banking industry will have to directly address the issue of appropriate and accurate loan
pricing. This is particularly true in the large corporate area where this problem is most
serious. It is the case for several reasons. First, it is a market that is highly contested withthe investment banking and insurance sectors vying for first class customers. Second,
38 | P a g e
7/29/2019 loan pricing of the National Bank Limited
39/62
with excess of capital in the industry, the large corporate market has been seen as a place
to employ large quantities with little cost. However, such competition has led to the tight
spreads being more pronounced in this market area.
Loan pricing gives an institution the ability to ensure coverage for the inherent
cost of credit risk associated with different risk grades of loans. Thus, risk-adjusted loan
pricing leads to better risk management. Once a bank has collected profitability data by
loan, it can analyze risk-adjusted profit performance from many points of view--for an
officer's portfolio, for a geographic segment, by industry, by loan size, or by credit grade.
A consistent pricing methodology avoids numerous questionable practices in loan
pricing by lenders. One questionable practice is demonstrated by lenders who typically
do not include any costs associated with the risk of the loan in their pricing. This
omission encourages bad credits to borrow at the same price that are being used to entice
better credits.
Another such practice is evident in lenders within the same organization who
make a wide variety of assumptions about what it costs the bank to originate and
maintain borrowers. Lenders typically don't have good personal knowledge about what it
costs to run the commercial banking organization. They may be estimating something,pulling a number out of the air, or using the rules of thumb used at a previous bank--
probably just as ill-founded.
A third questionable practice occurs when lenders associate too large an earnings
credit with corresponding balances. They don't take into account all factors associated
with deposit profitability. They know less about deposit profitability than loan
profitability--if that's possible!
3.9.1 BANK LOAN POLICY
One of the most impor tan t ways a bank can make sure i t s loans meet
reg ul at or y standards & are profitable is to establish a reliable loan policy. Such a
policy gives loan offers & the banks management specif ic guidel ines in making
individual loan decisions & in shaping the banks overall loan portfolio. The
actual make up of a banks loan portfolio should reflect what its loan policy
says. Othe rwise, the loan policy is not func tion ing effectively & should be either
revised or more strongly enforced by senior management.

3.9.2 THE CONTENTS OF BANK LOAN POLICY
The examinations manual, which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
gives to new bank examiners, suggests the most important elements of a good
bank loan policy. These elements include:
A good statement for the banks loan portfolio (i.e. statement of the
characteristics of a good loan portfolio for the bank in terms of types,
maturities, sizes & quality of loans.
Specification of the lending authority given to each loan officer & loancommittee (measuring the maximum amount & types of loan that each person
& committee can approve & what signatures are required)
Lines of responsibility in making assignments & reporting information within
the loan department.
Operating procedures for soliciting, reviewing, evaluating & making decisions
on customer loan applications.
The required documentation that is to accompany each loan application &
what must be kept in the banks credit files (required financial statements,
security agreements etc.)
Lines of authority within the bank, detailing who is responsible for
maintaining & reviewing the banks credit files.
Guidelines for taking, evaluating & perfecting loan collateral.

A written loan policy statement carries a number of advantages for the bank adopting it.
I t communicates to employees working in the loan depar tment what
pr oc edu res the y must follow & what their responsibilities are. It helps the move
toward a loan portfolio that can successfull y blend multiple objectives, su ch as
promoting the bank s prof itab il ity, controlling its risk exposure & satisfying
regulatory requirements. While any written loan policy must be flexible due to
continuing changes in economic conditions & regulations, violations of a banks
loan policy should be infrequent events.
3.9.3 WHAT IS LOAN PRICING?
One of the most difficult tasks in lending to business firms and other borrowing
customers is deciding how to price the loan. The lender wants to charge a high
enough rate to ensure that each loan will be profitable and compensate the
ba nk ful ly for the risk inv olve d. However, the loan rate must also be low
enough to accommodate the business customer in such a way that he or she can
successfully repay the loan and not be driven away to another lender or into theopen market for credit.
Pricing of bank loan means setting the interest rate for sanctioning loan to creditors.
Bank's clients must be individual or business firms. With deregulations of
banking under way in many nations , de regulated competition has
significantly narrowed the profit margins banks earn from selling deposits
and making loans. This makes correct pricing of loans even more imperative for
bankers today than the past.
3.10 WHAT ARE THE FACTORS OF PRICING THE BANK LOAN?
3.10.1 INTERNAL FACTORS:
41 | P a g e
7/29/2019 loan pricing of the National Bank Limited
42/62
Supply of loan giving fund: Bank uses a part of deposits as loan which is
the excess after keeping a reserve for liquidity. Increase in the excess
amount increases the interest rate and vice versa.
Cost of fund collection: Bank uses a part of deposits as loan. If there are
many available sources from where bank can collect deposits then the
cost of collecting the fund will decrease and there by will decrease the
interest rate on investment.
Administrative cost: If the expenses of conducting the banking services
increase, the interest rate also increases.
Other overheads: Increase in other overhead (legal fees, advertisement,
donation, depreciation, etc.) will increase the interest rate.
Enquiring and analyzing cost: Enquiry and analysis about the
applicant's financial condition incurs some expenses which ultimately
increases the interest rate.
Loan supervision collection cost: There are some expenses incurred in case of
loan supervision activities for which interest rate increases.
Possibility of income from alternative assets: If the possibility of income
from other sources (low investment requirement, high liquidity, risk free
investment such as T-bond) increases then there is a chance for the bank to
increase the interest rate.
Opportunity of income from other sources: Bank has many income
sources other than income from investment (Foreign exchange,
General banking service). When those income increases, the interest rate
decreases.
Bank-customer relationship: If bank knows the applicant very well then
it doesn 't have to collect information about the applicant which
reduces the cost of information collection and thereby decreases the interest
rate.
Anticipated dividend rate of shareholders: In pricing bank loan, bank has to
consider the anticipated dividend rate of shareholders. If it increases,
the interest rate increases.

3.10.2 EXTERNAL FACTORS:
Direction of Bank Regulatory Authority: Central Bank tries to control
the market interest rate on behalf of the Government to control the
supply of loan in the market. This activity of Central Bank has an impact
on the pricing of loan.
Competitor bank: In pricing of loan, Bank also considers the pricing of
loan of the competitor bank. If the competitor bank charges a low interest
rate then bank also charges low interest rate to keep the valuable
customers in the bank.
Other sources of loan procurement: There are other sources from which
a borrower can get loan such as Non-banking Financial Institutions,
Leasing Company, Share Market (bond), etc. If these sources provide
loan at flexible conditions to the borrower then this may affect the
pr icing of loa n of the bank.
Demand for loan: If demand for loan increases, the interest rate charged by the
bank also increases.
Risk of fluctuation in interest rate: Fluctuation of interest rate increases the
risk in banking business. Increases in interest rate decreases demand for loan.
Decrease in interest rate (after considering all the costs) increases
the demand for loan but decreases the bank profit, which consequently reduces
the ability of the bank. So in case of pricing loan, bank has to consider
about the risk of fluctuation in interest rate.
3.11 DIFFERENT TYPES OF LOAN PRICING MODELS.
43 | P a g e
7/29/2019 loan pricing of the National Bank Limited
44/62
3.11.1 COST-PLUS LOAN-PRICING MODEL
A very simple loan-pricing model assumes that the rate of interest charged on any loan
includes four components:
The funding cost incurred by the bank to raise funds to lend, whether such funds
are obtained through customer deposits or through various money markets.
The operating costs of servicing the loan, which include application and payment
processing, and the banks wages, salaries and occupancy expense.
A risk premium to compensate the bank for the degree of default risk inherent in
the loan request; and
A profit margin on each loan that provides the bank with an adequate return on its
capital.
+
+++
Lets consider a practical example: how this loan-pricing model arrives at an interest rate
on a loan request of Tk. 10,000. The bank must obtain funds to lend at a cost of 7
percent. Overhead costs for servicing the loan are estimated at 3 percent of the requested
loan amount and a premium of 3 percent is added to compensate the bank for default
risk, or the risk that the loan will not be paid on time or in full. The bank has determined
that all loans will be assessed a 2 percent profit margin over and above the financial,
operating and risk-related costs. Adding these four components, the loan request can be
extended at a rate of 15 percent (10% loan interest rate = 7% cost of funds + 3%
operating costs + 3% premium for default risk + 2% banks targeted profit margin). As

long as losses do not exceed the risk premium, the bank can make more money simply
by increasing the amount of loans on its books.
3.11.2PRICE-LEADERSHIP MODEL
The problem with the simple cost-plus approach to loan pricing is that it implies a bank
can price a loan with little regard to competition from other lenders. Competition affects
a banks targeted profit margin on loans. In todays environment of bank deregulation,
intense competition for both loans and deposits from other financial service institutions
has significantly narrowed the profit margins for all banks. This has resulted in more
banks using a form of price leadership in establishing the cost of credit. A prime or base
rate is established by major banks and is the rate of interest charged to a banks most
creditworthy customers on short-term working capital loans.
This "price leadership" rate is important because it establishes a benchmark for many
other types of loans. To maintain an adequate business return in the price-leadership
model, a banker must keep the funding and operating costs and the risk premium as
competitive as possible. Banks have devised many ways to decrease funding and
operating costs, and those strategies are beyond the scope of this article. But determining
the risk premium, which depends on the characteristics of the individual borrower and
the loan, is a different process.

Because a loans risk varies according to its characteristics and its borrower, the
assignment of a risk or default premium is one of the most problematic aspects of loan
pricing.
A wide variety of risk-adjustment methods are currently in use. Credit-scoring
systems, which were first developed more than 50 years ago, are sophisticated computer
programs used to evaluate potential borrowers and to underwrite all forms of consumer
credit, including credit cards, installment loans, residential mortgages, home equity loans
and even small business lines of credit. These programs can be developed in-house or
purchased from vendors.
Credit scoring is a useful tool in setting an appropriate default premium when
determining the rate of interest charged to a potential borrower. Setting this default
premium and finding optimal rates and cutoff points result in what is commonly referred
to as risk-based pricing. Banks that use risk-based pricing can offer competitive prices on
the best loans across all borrower groups and reject or price at a premium those loans
that represent the highest risks.
So, how do credit-scoring models and risk-based pricing benefit the borrower
who only wants a loan with reasonable repayment terms and an appropriate interest ratecharge? Since a bank is determining a reasonable default premium based on past credit
history, borrowers with good credit histories are rewarded for their responsible financial
behavior. Using risk-based pricing, the borrower with better credit will get a reduced
price on a loan as a reflection of the expected lower losses the bank will incur. As a
result, less risky borrowers do not subsidize the cost of credit for more risky borrowers.
3.11.4 RISK-BASED PRICING
Risk-based pricing is a system that evaluates the risk factors of your mortgage
application and credit profile and adjusts the interest rate and discount points up or down
based on this risk evaluation.
46 | P a g e
7/29/2019 loan pricing of the National Bank Limited
47/62
3.11.4.1 RISK-BASED PRICING FACTORS
Two other factors also affect the risk premium charged by a bank: the collateral required
and the term, or length, of the loan. Generally, when a loan is secured by collateral, the
risk of default by the borrower decreases. For example, a loan secured by a car typically
has a lower interest rate than an unsecured loan, such as credit card debt. Also, the more
valuable the collateral, the lower the risk. So it follows that a loan secured by the
borrowers home typically has a lower interest rate than a loan secured by a car.
However, there may be other factors to consider. First, the car may be easier to sell, ormore liquid, making the risk of the loan lower. Second, the term, or length of a car loan
is usually shortthree to five yearsas compared to the 15- to 30-year term of a home
loan. As a general rule, the shorter the term, the lower the risk, since the ability of the
borrower to repay the loan is less likely to change.
3.12 WHAT FACTORS CAN AFFECT ON LOAN PRICING?
Various factors interact to adjust loan pricing. The major factors include:
Credit Profile: A credit report will be obtained that shows the amount of debt one have
outstanding and how he or she has historically paid on that debt. The credit report will
also contain a "credit score" that ranks credit history. Credit scores look at five main
kinds of credit information, namely: payment history; amount owed; length of credit
history; new credit; and types of credit in use. Generally, if anyone has had any history
of nonpayment or late payments on any loans or debt, this may lower the credit score and
increase the interest rate and costs. People with high credit scores consistently: pay their
debts on time, keep balances low on credit cards and other revolving loans; and apply for
and open new credit accounts as needed.
Property: The property that are mortgaging also impacts on loan pricing. For example,
investment property, condominiums or multifamily housing are usually considered to
have a higher risk to lenders than single-family detached homes. The value of the
47 | P a g e
7/29/2019 loan pricing of the National Bank Limited
48/62
property (usually determined by an appraisal) as compared to the amount you wish to
borrow (the "loan-to-value ratio" or "LTV") also impacts on loan price. The higher the
LTV, the higher the interest rate and costs. LTVs over 80% also usually require
mortgage insurance. The price of mortgage insurance may vary based on the credit
profile.
Income/Debt: The amount of mortgage payments and total debt payments as
compared to income, ("debt-to-income ratios") may also impact on loan cost. The higher
the debt-to-income ratio, the higher the risk and so the higher the interest rate and fees.
Other Factors: Other factors may also affect lenders risk, and borrowers interest
rate and fees. These factors include, but are not limited to: previous bankruptcies,
foreclosures or unpaid judgments; and the type of loan product applied for, such as
adjustable rate versus fixed rate, or cash out refinance versus rate and term refinance.
3.13 HOW AND WHEN IS THE PRICE OF LOAN DETERMINED?
Evaluating all the risk factors that are involved in your loan and determining where you
fit into our risk/price range determine your price.
The lender will give an estimate of risk-based pricing after he has done an initial
evaluation of a borrowers credit history and a review of his or her proposed property.
One thing to remember, however, that the risk-based pricing may change from this initial
estimate if any of the risk factors discussed above change for example, if the appraised
value of the property is determined to be different than the value used for the initial
estimate or if the credit profile changes between the time of the initial estimate and
closing.
48 | P a g e
7/29/2019 loan pricing of the National Bank Limited
49/62
If anyone chooses to "lock" a rate prior to the final risk assessment, it will be locked for
the interest rate range available at that time. The actual price will be established based on
where the final risk level fits into that particular interest rate range. The final risk level is
determined at time of closing, when there are no further changes to the credit profile or
loan factors.
Assessing the interplay of credit score, collateral and term to determine the risk premium
is one of a lenders most challenging tasks. Whether loan-pricing models are based on a
simple cost-plus approach or price leadership, use credit scoring or other risk-based
factors; they are valuable tools that allow financial institutions to offer interest rates in a
consistent manner. Knowledge of these models can benefit customers as well as banks.
Although it cannot help customers make their payments, an awareness of loan-pricing
processes can ease the uncertainty that may be involved in applying for a loan.

3.14 FINDINGS
3.14.1 LOAN-PRICING STRATEGIES OF NATIONAL BANK LTD.
The banks in Bangladesh have been given almost full freedom to determine their
own deposit and lending rates till June 2009 but now Bangladesh bank give circular for
changing interest rate of loan and deposit. Because now world changing and there are
many bank in market and they forget corporate responsibility and charge attractive offer
for investor and its occur internal clash with bank to bank.
Loan pricing is a critically important function for National Bank Ltd. to continue
its operations. Loan-pricing decisions directly affect the safety and soundness of the bank
through their impact on earnings, credit risk, and, ultimately, capital adequacy. As such,
they must price loans in a manner sufficient to cover costs, provide the capitalization
needed to ensure the banks viability, protect the institution against losses, provide for
borrower needs, and allow for growth. The bank must have appropriate policy direction,
controls, and monitoring and reporting mechanisms to ensure appropriate loan pricing.
Determining the effectiveness of loan pricing is a critical element in assessing and rating
an institution's capital, asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity, and sensitivity to
market risks.
Loan-pricing models are used by many institutions to assist in loan pricing. The
models are typically spreadsheet programs that take a variety of information and
calculate the loan rate needed to meet the institution's goals. Loan-pricing models are
often used for pricing individual loans, rather than the entire portfolio, as they work well
for differential loan pricing programs. Simpler models use basic information such as
projected loan volume, interest rate, fees, and cost of funds, operating expenses, and loan
terms to calculate a projected ROA. More complex models can take into consideration a
variety of additional factors such as the quality of the loan, the institution's loan able
funds position, and projected loan prepayments. Some models require dozens of inputs,
and calculate ROA and ROE for multiple periods of time. Loan-pricing models provide
the opportunity to analyze a variety of factors and can be designed to meet the needs of
the institution. However, they can be complex, and are only as good as the information
inputted. Also, these models often do not consider the competition. From the Treasury
Department of national bank Ltd. I came to know that, they usually dont follow or use

any particular loan-pricing model or method. Their setting price of loan largely depends
on market condition, demand of loans, how much deposit they have and other banks
interest rates; that is competitors price.
Now days Bangladesh bank give to bank a mid-level interest rate bank can update
that rate by 1.5% add or cut .national bank do this like same way that other bank do. This
