Major Goals
The Management of United Bank Limited (UBL), in order to further improve the quality of service, particularly at the branch level, is restructuring its commercial banking operations. In this regard the concept of Central Branch and its Satellite branches is being introduced to achieve desired improvements in its service levels.
As UBL is expending with it network 1058 branches, it should be beneficial for the bank to computerized all the branches and earn more than before. It should be necessary for the UBL that for the old employees training session for well grooming, because even they dont know that how to deal with new technology. UBL should be appointing at least one HR officer at hub level for dealing HR related work. As UBL have well in IT sections, we think they can develop their own ATM network as M.net and 1 link. The ATM machine is some times in small cities remain disturb thats why customer become dissatisfied, if UBL have its own network related ATM than this problem should solve.
