Cataloged from PDF version of internship reports. Includes bibliographical references (pages 44-48). When evaluating the performance of BRAC Bank PLC from 2018, to 2022 I come across a nuanced perspective that highlights both strengths and challenges. Through analysis and examination of statements I gain valuable insights into aspects such as profitability, asset composition and revenue generation dynamics. The changes, in loans and advances assets and liabilities contribute to the evolving landscape of BRAC Banks performance. Despite the stock price of BRAC Bank remaining unchanged in the quarter their internal metrics reveal a story. The banks digital banking platform, Astha has been incredibly successful leading to a 20.3% increase, in customer deposits and an 18.5% boost in their loan portfolio compared to December 2022. These numbers surpass industry averages. Can be attributed to Astha app’s user interface and convenient features like mobile account opening and instant loan approvals. This has attracted a range of customers and streamlined financial transactions. Additionally, Astha has contributed significantly to funded income through digital transactions, which grew by 25% during the first nine months of 2023. This demonstrates its potential as a source of revenue for the bank. Although the market may not have fully embraced this wave yet analysts predict that Astha app’s ongoing success could lead to an adjustment, in BRAC Banks share price in the near future making it an appealing long term investment opportunity. Moving on BRAC Banks Astha App stands out as a true symbol of innovation, in mobile banking. A detailed survey involving fifty-two participants reveals how seamlessly Astha has become a part of branch operations offering users an experience tailored to their needs. The strategic inclusion of features like QR payments and lightning-fast withdrawal through Astha cash out have attracted user engagement and have solidified Astha’s position as a leading contender. The integration with bKash adds appeal providing a smooth and cost-effective channel, for transactions. Moreover, Astha’s success is built on a foundation of security which includes cutting edge encryption, biometric authentication and clear data privacy policies. With these security measures, in place users can trust Astha as a safe choice, in the ever-evolving digital financial realm. To conclude, as BRAC Bank adapts to the changing environment it is crucial to make adjustments. The bank needs to focus on areas that need improvement while also staying aware of market dynamics. At the time the Astha App showcases their commitment, to innovation transforming digital finance. By combining resilience with advancement BRAC Bank positions itself as a leader, in the ever-changing financial sector prepared to shape the future of banking experiences. Samit Saha B.
