Description:
Bangladesh is a third world country with an under developed banking system, particularly in terms of the
services and customer care provided by the government run banks. Recently the private banks are trying
to imitate the banking structure of them or developed countries, but this attempt is often foiled by
inexpert or politically motivated government policies executed by the central bank of Bangladesh,
Bangladesh Bank. The outcome is a banking system fostering corruption and illegal monetary
activities/laundering etc. by the politically powerful and criminals, while at the same time making the
attainment of services or the performance of international transactions difficult for the ordinary citizens,
students studying abroad or through distance learning, general customers etc.

shoot of trading company Messrs. Alexander and Co., and operated until 1832 when the trading

middle of the 19th century. The Bank of Calcutta, established in 1806 which renamed Bank of Bengal in
1809, was merged into the Imperial Bank of India in 1921, and became the State Bank of India in 1955.
