1.1Origin of the Report:
TheTerm paperprogram is itself an attempt to provide graduates an orientation to a real life situation in which they
can observe and evaluate the use and applicability of theoretical concepts, which were taught in the classroom. The
! program of "T re#uires that each student must complete anTerm paperattachment period of at least $2

! program.
In this conte't, I have tried to wor% with (utual Trust an% )imited *(T)+, and the department of - of
(T) gives me the chance to wor% in the /anthapath ranch of (T). ere I have free option to choose any topic
forTerm paperreport but after discussing with my supervisor I have chosen the topic 01valuating oreign 1'changeOperation of (T)3 /anthapath ranch *Theory 4 /ractice+5.
1.2 General Objective:

improvement.
1.4Scope of the report:
8ow in this global arena the activities of ban%ing sector are very much essential and also it is growing very fast.
uring myTerm paperperiod, I have wor%ed months to gather all the relevant data and information re#uired for the
successful completion of my study. This report is an attempt to evaluate foreign e'change activities and how they
serve the customers with their product and services as well as they e'ist with current rivals.
1.5 Reader! "enefit:
This study or report will tend to describe in briefly the function of foreign e'change, international trade and finance,
which will provide an overall view of (T)s foreign e'change departments activity. This report also provides
elaborate discussions about (T)s goods 4 services, #uality, forecasting, and reliability. The apparent benefits
that the readers will get are as follows:
#nfor$ation: !s a financial Institution, (T)s operation is some different than some other financial
Institution in angladesh. 7o, I thin% that by letting readers %now the aspects of (T)s operations, I would be
able to provide sufficient information to satisfy our readers thirst about general ban%ing activities.
Good! % Service!: ecause I have thoroughly analy&ed (T)s total area of products and services they
provide, this report will give the readers some e'tra information to %now (T). Through this report they will
learn about the product and services of (T)
#nternational trade: people will %now about the import and e'port procedure of angladesh. !nd how is

I have tried my best to provide with all the necessary information about (utual Trust an% )imited */anthapath r.+
7upplied by the managers and employees best ability but due to the e'haustive nature of this study the most secret
4 strategic ethics could not be brought into this report. !s having the status of an empirical study, this research is
sub6ect to following limitations:
To protect the organi&ational loss in regard of maintaining confidentiality, some parts of the report are not
in3depth li%e , 7;IT etc.
The duration of the intern period is not sufficient to learn all the foreign e'change activities.
! worthwhile study re#uires the analysis of as much data as possible covering various aspects of the
study. ut I did not have easy access into various types of information about foreign e'change activities of the
whole (utual Trust an% limited rather than the respective branch only. 7o, I had to accomplish my thesis only
basing on the information of the /anthapath ranch of (utual Trust an% )imited. 7ome of the data re#uired
for preparation the statement were not available in the computer3records of their standard practices.
)a%e of e'perience has also acted as constrains for the e'ploration of the topic.
7ome participants were unable to spare enough time because of their wor% schedule.
There are few new employees who do not %now the e'act wor% activity and they did not provide the
accurate information about the foreign e'change activity.
The findings of the study are based on the primary data provided by the participants, some time it could be
biased.

!fter the shipment the e'porter should arrangement for early submission of the documents to the ban%, correctly
prepared in conformity with the terms of the credit for negotiation. The e'porter should remain in consistent touch
with the negotiating ban% for early negotiation of e'port bills. If any minor mista%e is detected or any document is
found missing, the same should immediately be corrected or supplied for early settlement of the matter.
&.24 )ode of pay$ent:
There are wide ranges of choices to receive payment against the e'ports of goods. "nder mutual understanding both
importer and e'porter fi'ed the mode of payment. There are different types of payment methods commonly used in
the international trade as given below:
&.24.1 9dvance -ay$ent:
The e'porter may re#uire that the importer should ma%e full payment for the goods to be e'ported in advance. If
e'porter negotiation is strong then this procedure e'ists. ;hen the relation between the e'porter and importer is
very good then importer gives full payment advance. In that case the e'porter sent all the documents directly to the
importer.
&.24.2 Open account:
This method of settlement is possible where the commodity commands buyers mar%et. In this method the e'porter
dispatch the goods to the importer and the importer give the payment in future date. ;hen there is very good
relation between the buyer and seller then they do it.
&.24.3 /on!ign$ent !ale: sometime the seller may have their own selling agent abroad. They send the goods to
their agent. The agent receives the goods and arrange store and sell it. Then they remit the money to the original
seller. The ownership of the goods throughout remains with the e'porter. Consignment e'port is allowed only in
respect of selected commodities.&.24.4 "ill! for /ollection: a documentary collection is an operation in which a ban% collects payment on behalf of
seller by delivering documents to the buyer. "nder this method, the goods are dispatched to the importers country
but the relative shipping documents, including the documents of title to the buyer and a bill of e'change are sent
through a ban% for collection of payments. This method is sometimes designated as 0Cash against /ayment5 *C!+
or 0ocuments against /ayment5 */+. This service is cheaper and more fle'ible than a documentary credit.
!nother method is fre#uently used to receive payment is by sending the documents on what is %nown as ocuments
against !cceptance *A!+. "nder this method, the documents are delivered to the buyer on acceptance of the bill
signifying his ac%nowledgement of the debt as well as a commitment to pay on the maturity date of the bill.
&.24.5 (etter of /redit: This is the most important method used widely to ma%e a bridge between importer and
e'porter. In the international trade sometimes buyer and seller do not %now each other. They open )AC and start
trade. In this case ban% act as guarantee. The )AC is an underta%ing by the importers ban% if the e'porter e'ports
goods and produces shipping documents and other papers, the ban% would ma%e payment to the e'porter.

e'porter is permitted to draw a part or whole of the amount of limit according his re#uirements. It gets repaid with
the proceeds of the bill drawn on the foreign buyer. /ac%ing credit advances does not normally e'tend beyond $@

! lien is created on the original e'port )AC as security. The two credits operate 0bac% to bac%5, one being issued on
the security of other. The e'porter gets the facility of purchasing goods without investing his own funds. In such
cases, the original credit should be an irrevocable credit. The terms and conditions of both th credits should be

sufficient time for the e'porter to ship the goods within the validity of the first credit.
The beneficiary *7upplier+ of the second credit presents his bill together with necessary documents to the ban% after
dispatch of the goods to the e'porter to get payment. The e'porter then arranges for the shipmen of goods, attaches
the necessary documents and presents his own bill with the documents to the negotiating ban%. The supplier is
generally paid after negotiation of the documents submitted by the e'porter. y opening a bac%3to3bac% )AC, the
