SWOT ANALYSIS
A SWOT analysis is used as a framework to help the firm develop its overall corporate, marketing
or product strategies. Strengths and Weaknesses are internal factors, which are controllable by the
organization. Opportunities and threats are external factors, which are uncontrollable by the
organization.
During My internship period, I closely studied the SWOT of Union Bank Limited and is described
below
STRENGHTS
10
Union Bank provides excellent customer services and constantly makes the improvements through
its state of the art programs CMP (Complaint Management Program), ISM (Internal Service
Measurement)
MSP (Mystery shopping Program) and CSS (Customer Satisfaction Survey).
Union Bank offers real time online services to its customers. Its branches are connected and
supported by a sophisticated Computerized Network that makes use of real time online softwares.
No matter where the customer holds his/her account, to him, any branch is like his/her own branch
moreover, Union Bank has 24 hours state of the art call center that helps out customers.
It has also introduced Internet banking and has launched a unique debit card, which is called the
"shopping card". It is an internationally accepted debit card and is linked to all of customer’s
current account, savings account, and personal loan account and can accessed overseas through the
Visa network. Union Bank was the first only bank to offer this service in India to their customers.
Innovative IT Technology
To increase employees work efficiency, Union Bank makes use of high-end distributed softwares
such as Autos Tracking System, OSMS and CTL, Lotus Notes. Such softwares immensely increase
work efficiency of employees as well as business processes and reduce the chance of error.
Seasoned Employees
Union Bank benefits from a strong independent local management team with a wealth of
experience from leading international banks. Union Bank keeps most qualified and experienced
staff. Most employees are rendering their services in the banking sector for more than a decade.
Yet they encourage the young talent for they are well aware of their long-term investment.
11
Union Bank always seeks to increase employee productivity through a combination of training and
implementation of modern human resource techniques. Frequent in-house and external training
programs, seminars are carried out to help the Bank in maintaining and developing an efficient
work force.
Union Bank’s organizational members are its strongest asset who together work towards the
attainment of cooperation goals through dedication and devotion.
Union Bank’s has well-diversified consumer portfolio. This diversification is giving it immense
profitability and respect within society. It can be judged from following
WEAKNESSES
Union Bank provides worthy allowances to its permanent staff in Branch Banking. However most
staff in Consumer Banking is not completely satisfied with the inducements. This dissatisfaction
sometimes leads to less motivated employees in consumer banking which in turn can affect its
business efficiency. Moreover, permanent staff is not given any performance related incentives. As
a result of this, an inefficient manager or employee is earning the same as an efficient employee
who is the real asset for the organization.
Union Bank has still not got the edge where the consumers become loyal to its products and
services. Mostly customers become its customers out of no reason than request from a personal
banker. And talking about consumer banking, though credit cards awareness in our middle class
society has gradually improved but not up to the point where they can compare the perks that one
12
Bank is offering and other is not. Truth must be said, most customers do not even know the
intricacies behind the term “interest free days”. The point is, consumers do not know of the product
being offered so how can they become brand loyal?
We can say that Autos is a business where consumers can become for consumers are associated
with it for more than a decade unlike credit cards but UBL and many other banks are leading the
market and hence consumers are more loyal to them and will continue unless Union Bank
upgrades its Autos Financing System by focusing consumers.
Union Banks Services and products are excellent but I feel that there is a lack of appropriate
promotion of these innovative products and services e.g. being an American Express card holder, I
did not know that Ufone and Union Bank has special alliance that facilitates to avail free Ufone

Objective Of Study
Project study which is being conducted by me for the last two month is not only a formality for the
fulfillment of the two year full time Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management. But being a
management student and a good employee I tried my best to extract best of the information
available in the market for the use of society and people. The objectives have been classified by me
in this project form personal to professional, but here I am not disclosing my personal objective

Scope of the Study
Each and every project study along with its certain objectives also has scope for future. And this
scope in future gives to new researches a new need to research a new project with a new scope.

about a new business which becomes much more profitable for the researches then the older one.
Scope of the study could give the projected scenario for a new successful strategy with a proper
implementation plan. Whatever scope I observed in my project are not exactly having all the
features of the scope which I described above but also not lacking all the features –

SOURCES OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA:
For the purpose of project data is very much required which works as a food for process which will
ultimately give output in the form of information. So before mentioning the source of data for the
project I would like to mention that what type of data I have collected for the purpose of project
Primary Data:
Source from where first hand information are gathered directly are called primary source and
information thus collected is called primary data. Primary data is basically the live data which I
collected on field while talking with the employees and I shown them list of question for which I
had required their responses. In some cases I got no response form their side and than on the basis
Source: Main source for the primary data for the project was my face-to-face conversation which
I got by the employees or some times filled myself on the basis of discussion with the employees.
Secondary Data:
The data that are collected for other purposes already exist somewhere is called secondary data.
Secondary data for the base of the project I collected from intranet of the Bank and from internet.

DATA ANALYSIS
Vouchers Audit
One of my regular duties was to carry out the audit of debit and credit vouchers. This department
comes under Mr. Ashok who is Operations Control Officer at Union Bank and I worked under his
supervision. Audit of vouchers is a lengthy and tedious and hence wearisome process. It requires
constant attention and any negligence can lead to fanatic situation.
Firstly we have to sort all the vouchers in the same order as it appears on the TRL (Transaction
List) so that it could become easier to match the vouchers with their corresponding entry on the
list. Once sorted, each and every voucher is carefully examined for stamps and signatures and also
that none are post dated or stale. After satisfying ones self, the transaction on the TRL is
underlined.
Any objection in the vouchers is reported and is taken care of accordingly. The purpose of
matching is to make sure the cashier did not miss anything and all the transactions were made
correctly.
In the end, the transaction list is revised to make sure that no transactions were overlooked and that
every transaction that appears on the TRL is underlined, a transaction that is not underlined
suggests that the related voucher is missing.
17
My job as CRO (Customer Relationship Officer)
My job as CRO was a completely new and exciting experience. CRO is a person who
interacts with every customer who steps into the bank and guides him/her according to his
need and business. I do not think I have interacted with such large number of people as CRO
in these six weeks than in my whole life.
As CRO, I learnt a lot of things, not only work related or career related but things, which are good
for one’s character as well. For instance in my experience I learnt how to be patient when dealing
with customers, it became so irritating at times. But then looking around, and seeing how the other
colleagues worked with customer’s everyday and observing their tactics made me realize the art.
Every customer who arrives at the Bank needs a different treatment because different
customers belong to diverse backgrounds and set of values and beliefs. Some are educated,
others uneducated and cannot even write, some are rude, other are cooperative and polite,
some are in urgent need while others are more trivial, some need an outstanding treatment
and are fully aware of their rights as customers whereas others are afraid of asking even for
their rights. I had to interact with all and guide them.
I also guided customers who interacted through phone and this requires immediate feedback,
good communication, quick thinking and fast decision-making skills. This interaction with so
many people built huge confidence in me.
I also maintained the record of outward and inward mails, which included OBC as well, that
are received on daily bas
18
Maintaining CBR, CBI and Debit Cards Record

in person. The account holder fills out an authorization form and authorized person ID card
is submitted and signatures of both are taken. The authority holder can be one time or full
time.
Rests of the chequebooks that are not delivered on that day are kept safely in the locker
room. If a customer does not come to collect his chequebook within 90 days, they must be
destroyed. Ten days before destruction, the customers are again informed to receive their
chequebooks

CONCLUSION
The economy of the country is booming and with the investment favorable policies and their
smooth implementation, the role of banks in today s’ economy has become an important one.
The banking industry is also reaping the fruits of this economic boom by growing rapidly over the
past few years. There are a number of mergers happening in the economy with foreign investment
coming into the banking sectors.
The services that Union bank provides have a great market penetration not only because of their
features but also the profit and markup rates that they charge.
Furthermore, as the bank is growing, the number of employees at Union bank are also increasing ,
which shows that Union bank is being considered as a an employer, that provides its employees
with a challenging environment to work in, where they can harness their full potential and shows
confidence as an employer by the employees of the bank.
In the last section, I would like to give some recommendations and is hoped that if they are
implemented will bring benefits to UNION BANK OF BANK
26
RECOMMENDATIONS
Some of the recommendation that I would recommend to some of the problems discussed in the
above section, that might the efficiency of both the operations and employees of union bank are as
follow:
Technological Advancements:
Union bank should develop a modern connectivity architecture to effectively maintain an online
connection of the branch and also the ATM links, which may include using modern technologies
like fiber cables, routers etc. Also backup links should also be developed. Also a proper should be
established in all branches, with professional having the knowledge to maintain a secured
connection with other banks. Also scheduled backups of data should be done with in the bank.
Placements of employees:
There are some departments in the bank that do not have enough employees. This creates
inefficiencies and so the operations manager should look at the department and hire individuals
where there are less employees or rotate employees from other departments.
Amenities in branch:
There should be a common room in all the branches. Also work like storing, which takes up a lot
of space done in a separate place and amenities like television and internet connection should be
placed in the common room, so as to give employees a relaxing environment when they have a
break.
