CREDIT POLICY
GENERAL DEFINITION:
Credit Policy is the clear, written guidelines that set the following basic things:
(1) The terms and conditions for supplying goods on credit
(2) Customer qualification criteria
(3) Procedure for making collections
(4) Steps to be taken in case of customer delinquency.
It is also called collection policy4.

OBJECTIVES:
SBP regulations and economic conditions are kept in mind while designing
the techniques and objectives for credit management strategy. Following
are some of the objectives of SPCBs credit policy:
o Enable the bank to develop long-term business plans.
o Equip the bank to face the ever changing competitive scenario more effectively
and act proactively rather than reactively.
o To be a source of confidence to the lending officers and enable them to operate
more effectively within the framework of approved delegated authority.
o Provide a framework of reference and standards and to enable the bank to
provide uniform treatment to the borrowing customers.
o Provide guidance for what to do, not how to do.
o

Properly serve the credit needs of current customers by satisfying them and
establish long-term relationship with them.

Provide a framework in which to conduct business.


SBPS REQUIREMENT: It is SBPs requirement
that every bank should keep 2% of its total capital as
reserves with the State Bank. SBP approves every
loan and provides comprehensive directions to every
bank in the prudential regulations. These instructions
are same for every bank but banks could make certain

changes in the level of deposits, advancement ratio and their loan portfolio.
Total amount of loan advancement is totally dependent on SPCBs credibility
situation.

CREDIT POLICY OF RBS


Credit Standards Followed By RBS:
The RBS credit standards are as follows:

DIVERSIFICATION:
RBS being a clever financial institution doesnt invest
in just one sector. It follows the basic rule i.e.

DONT PULL ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE


BASKET!!!

Agriculture
financing is just 12% because SBP
makes it essential
for the bank.

Their focus is on the following sectors:


SECTORS
Small Medium Enterprise (SME)
Commercial Sector
Global banking and Markets

LIMIT OF LOANS
50 million
50-350million
Above 350 million

SAFETY:
RBS focuses on 3cs:
RBS follow the SAFETY-FIRST principle i.e.
CHARACTER,
Money given as loan must be used properly.
The credit risk management department
handles this principle.
The following five elements(Cs) help a banker in arriving at the
conclusion regarding safety.
Character: Borrowers intention to repay the advance, since his
honesty and integrity is of significance.

INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, PUNJAB UNIVERSITY

Page

23

Capacity: Mixture of academics and experience in the relative


field and ability to repay. And How well do we
understand and know the relevant customer.
Liquidity
Capital: it means how much you are willing to
condition
invest your money.SBP restricts the misuse of banks
means
money.
tendency of
Conditions: Bank should analyze the economic,
business and socioeconomic conditions to secure the loan.
Cash-flows: Cash flow statement of the customer should be
analyzed to secure the loan. We analyze the inflow and outflow of
cash.
LIQUIDITY: bank should analyze the liquidity condition of its and its
customer.
PROFITIBILITY: Profits are as important to RBS as are to the other
organizations as they also have different types of expenses. The main
source of income for RBS is the amount it charges from its customers
as mark up. Therefore, the RBS may prefer a customer with low risk
and reasonable markup to ensure an optimal profit.

DESIRABILITY: RBS focuses that money should be used for agreed


purposes.

CREDIT RISK AND RETURN: The Credit risk management focuses


risks associated with the loans and their repayments.RBS focuses on
short term loans to avoid defaults.

CENTRALIZED AUTHORITY:
The decision making power regarding credit policy and any loan approvals is
centralized in RBS. They are moving toward the hub concept. This has a negative
impact on potential or prospective customers because any person wanting to
acquire a small loan in a few days time has to wait a lot and as a result a number of
applicants cannot be satisfied. RBS credit policy hinders such activity because
having no power and setup to verify credentials etc, the process at the head office
takes minimum 15days. But this step is also going to show the confidential output
by bank.

INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, PUNJAB UNIVERSITY

24

FUNDED AND NONFUNDED FACILITIES

SECTORAL BASED LENDING

Page

Both funded and non-funded facilities are provided by RBS but the preference is to
provide non funded facilities as it involves lower risk.

RBS extends loan to almost all the sectors except for certain unapproved segments.
However, RBS focuses on consumer, commercial, corporate, agriculture,
construction, engineering, automobiles and fertilizers sector. No loans are available
for textile sector this time because of the bad conditions of this sector. RBS is
moved the directions of its credit policy toward the recovery of its loans.

INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, PUNJAB UNIVERSITY

25

NICHE MARKETING

Page

Their marketing objectives and techniques are based on niche marketing. They
target on salaried class which they have named as Category A. This is because
salaried class is more conscious about making the payments on time and it is easier
to recover loan from them as compared to any other class. In current economic
conditions of Pakistan and worldwide recession, its the basic pillar of RBS which is
not only secured but also profitable but because of rapidly unemployment, RBS not
advancing loans to this sector but again we will say that they are not destroying
their customers of this sector even at the time of recovery. They are providing their
non funded facility mostly to salaried based sector after all they are golden pillars of
RBS.

UNAPPROVED SEGMENTS
Unapproved segments are the segments to which bank does not extend loan due to
some reasons. These include lawyers, journalists, farmers, money changers,
politicians.

TIME REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL OF LOAN


As RBS is a multinational bank it takes a long time of 15 days for any loan to get
approved from the head office because it does not give decision power to each
branch. It has centralized system. The preparation of documents also required a
lot of time because of manual working system. Due to this reason RBS is also losing
a great number of its customers.

PATTERN OF INSTALLMENTS
RBS prefers quarterly payments as part of their selling terms set with the customers
in advancement of the loan. However, such terms may vary from customer to
customer and situation to situation.

CREDIT CARD
Client can withdraw cash up to 75% of the available shared credit limit (if he is
holding more than one RBS Credit Card). For example, if your shared credit limit is
PKR 300,000 and your cash withdrawal limit is 75%, you can withdraw up to PKR
225,000.

NPL Ratio
RBS NPL ratio is comparatively good if we consider the financial crisis and current
position of the bank. Reason behind this is that they dont accrue their revenues
.Instead they are recorded when actually incurred. Thats why their books show the
good position.

INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, PUNJAB UNIVERSITY

REVISION OF CREDIT POLICY

Page

The credit policy is revised at least quarterly to incorporate the economic and
financial changes in the country. Similarly, any change in the prudential regulations
by the State Bank of Pakistan and socio-economical factors can prompt the bank to
revise its policy in the given scenario accordingly.
Their policy also changed according to risks and opportunities in the market like
payment incentives 54(flat rate, computed rate) and low risk credit policies
(advance payment & LC). So according to this policy, now a day RBS is working with
flat rate

INCOME REQUIREMENT

TIME PERIOD FOR FINANACING


Running finance: its short term loan

Demand finance: 1 to 5 years maximum time period for this loan because it
fulfilled the specific need of the customer like construction.
Term finance: 5 to 10 years maximum time period but in this loan the installment
is involved.

LC FACILITY
RBS focused on hypothecate based facility.

Collateral Based Lending:


Bank focuses on financing backed up by a security. Because there is no proper
documentation system and Corruption rate is high!!

CDR (Credit deposit Ratio) position of RBS:


RBS has to reserve 30% in form of reserves in SBP (State Bank of Pakistan). This
30% can be reserved in different forms as cash, T Bonds, T Bills and anything which
can be easily convertible into cash.

RBS cash reserve ratio is 5 to 7 percent

SAFTY MARGIN:

For funded based facilities: 10 to 25 percent is the average safety margin


rate. It varies customer to customer. Its also varies by securities and liquidity
position of the customers.0% safety margin can also be for those customers
who are most reliable customers.
For non- funded based facilities: on average the 15% to 35% safety
margin is taken.

If government has to stop the imports of anything to support the local production,
SBP ordered to increase this safety margin. For critical items like perishable items
this safety margin can be 100%.

CREDIT POLICY FOR RENEWALS & ENHANCEMENT

SPREAD:
RBS is stated to be charging around 2%-4% spread to its customers with
negotiations or bargains with customers even though they might not always be
providing ancillary business to RBS. This depends on the customers track record
and his credibility.
RBS invests extensively in mortgages and as fewer mortgage investments are
present, RBS has the opportunity to charge high mark ups. The high charges cover
the costs incurred on those who have defaulted.

CONCLUSION

Due to worldwide recession RBS has faced huge losses in current times; RBS
in Pakistan is not advancing long-term loans to corporate sector or other
sectors as well due to the bad social and economic conditions in the country.
When RBS re-branded the name of ABN-AMRO formally last year, total
branches of RBS in Pakistan were 85 but now the number has reduced to 73.
Similarly the net value of assets of RBS in Pakistan has also been reduced to
23 billion PKR from 73 billion PKR. Moreover, more than 90% share of RBS
Pakistan has been purchased by MCB and this take over will be completed in
the upcoming year. In the current business environment with reduced sales
and threats of recession RBS is under great pressure to manage their cash
flows productively; in this regard RBS has kept somehow a lenient credit
policy (in consumer financing i.e. short-term) as compared to other banks so
that it may be able to retain its customers in future for upcoming year.
