WHAT IS BANK?
ORIGIN OF THE WORD "BANK":
There are many definitions of the word "Bank" even the standard encyclopedias and law
books find it difficult to state exactly what a Bank is. There have been many attempts by
different writers to explain the exact significance of the term BANK. Here some of the
definitions are quoted as follows:

The Bank Means:


The word Bank has been derived from the words Banco, Bancus all of which means
a bench. The early bankers transected their activities on benches in the marketplace.

Definitions:
Dr. Hart:
"A banker is one who, in the ordinary course of his business honors cheques
drawn upon him by persons from and from whom he receives money on current
accounts."

Holder:
"The modern banker is primarily a dealer in credit."

Samuelson:
"Commercial banks provide certain services for customers and in return receive
payments from them."

The Encyclopedia Of Banking And Finance Defined Commercial Bank


As:
A name given to one of the classes of non-government banking institutions under bank.
Commercial banks are designed primarily to finance the production, distribution, and sale
of goods, i.e. to lend short-term funds, as distribution, form the services of lending longterm or capital funds. The bulk of deposit of commercial bank consist of demand deposit,
which are invested, in short-term loans
National and state bank is the best example of commercial banks, although in most states
trust companies are also permitted to engage in commercial banking. Private Banks are
usually commercial banks. The term full-service banking has been promoted in recent
years as a more descriptive term because of the diversification of commercial banks into
many operations other than commercial lending ,including consumer banking (direct
financing of consumers, credit cards, personal loans, consumer receivable financing);
mortgage banking; savings backings and commercial sales financing ;international
banking and foreign exchange; trust, safe deposit, custody and investment management
functions travel services, travelers checks, money order etc.
Commercial banking is different from investment banks, securities firms, and commercial
financing service institutions. Government authorities closely of customer deposits and
the soundness of the bank. Government regulators require cash reserve against deposit,
specify maximum interest rate bank can pay on deposit, set minimum capital
requirements and place limits, on the size of loans to borrowers.

Comprehensive Definition Of The Bank Is:


A bank is a financial institution which deals with money and credit. It accepts
deposits from individuals, firms and companies at a lower rate of interest and gives at
higher rate of interest to those who need them. The difference between the terms at which
it borrows and that at which it lends forms the source of its profit. A bank is a profitearning institute.

Commercial Banking in Pakistan:


At the time of the partition, the total number of commercial banks was 38. Out of these,
the Pakistani banks were 2; Indian Banks 29 and exchange bank 7. The total deposits of
Pakistani bank stood at Rs. 800 million whereas the advances were Rs.198 million.

It was very difficult for Pakistan to build up its own Banking system immediately
after independence without sufficient resources. Following the announcement of the
partition plan in June 1947 there was a haste movement on the parts of banks to transfer
their funds and accounts across the borders. The banks having their registered offices in
Pakistan were transferred to India. In an effort to bring about the collapse of the new state
by the persecuting an international policy of withdrawal, the Indian bank offices closed
quickly. Those banks, which stayed, were considering the winding up of their business.
By 30th June 1948 the number of schedule banks in Pakistan declined from mere scratch.

Today there are more than 7000 branches of commercial banks along with an
established network of supplementary financial institutions. All this development in the
banking sect is the result of untiring efforts of four decades.

Phases of Banking In Pakistan


Broadly speaking we can divide the development of commercial banking into four
phases:

PHASE-1 1947-1974 Establishment of commercial banking system

PHASE-2 1974-1979 Nationalization of banks

PAHSE-3 1979-1991 Islamisation process

PHASE-4 1991-2011 Privatization process

FIRST PHASE (1947-1974)

Set Up Of Commercial Banking System:


This was the first phase of development of Pakistans commercial banking
system, which consist of the circumstances under which the development of banking was
started in the country.

Initial Position of Banking in Pakistan:


There were 19 non-Indian foreign banks in Pakistan at the time of independence
with the status of small branch network, whose policies and operations were controlled
by their head offices abroad. These banks were engaged solely in export of corps from
Pakistan. There were only two Pakistani banks, the Habib bank, which had transferred its
head office from Bombay to Karachi after the announcement of the partition plan, and
Australian bank which has been working in Pakistani territories prior to June 1947. The
government of Pakistan tried hard to eliminate the banking crises. Banking Companies

Ordinance 1947 was promulgated to safe guard the interest of both the bankers and the
companys customers. The situation however showed no significant improvements. The
imperial bank of India closed down most of its offices in Pakistan, which had been
working as the agent of the reserve bank of India was not willing to purchase even token
amounts of the government of Pakistan. Securities on the plea that these securities were
not marketable. The reserve bank of India was hardly of any help. It refused to help
government of Pakistan with advance argument adhoc securities to enable them to make
essential disbursements such as salaries and other obligations to add to the difficulties.

The Indian government withheld Pakistans share of Rs. 75 corer in cash balances
held by her at the time of independence. The foregoing developments clearly brought
home the urgency of assuming control and currency in Pakistan and brought to the fore
the need to setup a central banking institution to take the place of reserve bank of India.
Therefore it was agreed between the government of India and Pakistan to authority of
Pakistan from 30th September 1947 to 30th June 1948.
In order to make necessary arrangements of the establishment of the central bank
of Pakistan a committee was appointed to recommend the necessary steps. Consequently
the Governor General of Pakistan and father of the nation Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali
Jinnah Inaugurated the State Bank of Pakistan on 1st July 1948. After the State Bank
order was promulgated on 12th May 1948.
When it assumed full control of banking and currency in Pakistan the first
important task before the SBP was to issue of currency notes and withdrawal of reserve
bank of India, which had been in circulating in Pakistan so far.

SECOND PHASE (1974-1979)


NATIONALIZATION OF BANKS:

The banking reforms turned out to be a transitional and temporary step and hardly
after 18 months had the government nationalized the banking system. Thus through the
Nationalization Bank Act 1974, SBP and all commercial banks incorporated in Pakistan
and carrying on business in or outside the country were brought under the government
ownership with effect from January 1974. The ownership and management of all Pakistan
banks stood transferred and rested in the federal government. The shareholders were
provided compensation in the form of federal government bonds redeemable at par any
time within a period of fifteen years. The amount of compensation was equal to the break
up value of the shares in case of commercial banks. For the State Bank shares the amount
of compensation was estimated on the basis of average of the clearing quotations during
the six working days preceding nationalization. The chairman, director and chief
executives of various banks were removing from their offices other than those appointed
by the federal government and the state bank. The central board of banks, managing
committees and similar other bodies were dissolved. A Pakistani banking counsel was
established for nationalized commercial banks to co-ordinate their activities.
As a result of merger of banks the following five major banking companies were
formed:
1. National Bank of Pakistan
2. Habib Bank Limited
3. United Bank Limited
4. Muslim commercial Bank Limited
5. Allied Bank of Pakistan

Internship Report(BC08002)

CAUSES OF NATIONALIZATION:

The nationalization of banks may be justified on the following grounds:


1. Large business and industrial houses dominate the lending policies of the
commercial banks; this brought forward the problem of concentration of wealth.
2. Commercial banking operations were guided by profit motives and as a result the
backward regions and the small entrepreneurs were never been their favorite
customers.
3. The operation of banks, unlike after business, have direct implication on the entire
national economy. For instance if the banks raise the cost of their credit, the cost
of everything may go up.
4. Unhealthy complications among banks can lead to financial and economic
problems.
5. The flow of bank advances towards national priority sector in general is not
forthcoming because private banks are profit oriented.

RESULTS OF NATIONALIZATION:

Although there are doubts about the positive results of the nationalization but we can say
that the nationalization of banks provided efficient professional management to expand
banking services in every nook and corner of the country. Banks laid full emphasis on
their lending policies on priority sector and national building projects, which discouraged
non-productive and unhealthy activities like speculation and hoarding, there was also a
recorded increase in the number of foreign branches of Pakistani banks.

The growth of Pakistani banking system was significant. The banking facilities expanded
in the rural areas. The bank credit increased sharply especially in the public sector. A part

from this expansion the banking systems activity seeking to gain credit targets laid down
by national Credit Consultative Council (N.C.C.C) and to confirm to the priorities over
the year to enlarge the flow of credit for the small banker and agriculturist as well as for
exports. Bank deposits rose very substantially during a period when total monetary assets
also registered a sharp rise. In a remarkable short time banks and their management had
adjusted to the realities and compulsion of the new situation and the system as a whole
was completely geared to government objectives and policies.

THIRD PHASE (1979-1991)

INTRODUCTION OF ISLAMIC BANKING:

In 1977 the Bhutto government was toppled. The martial law government planned to
reform the banking sector in a novel way. The overall policy was to Islamize the
economy and the banking system, being based on interest was an important target of the
new policy. The most preferred form of Islamic bank financing profit and loss sharing
would require banks to receive deposit without guaranteeing any return.

The Islamic bank has to acquire a high degree of confidence of the saver to make
him deposit his money with them. Not even the return of the principle amount if
guaranteed. The Islamic bank cannot finance the project of an investor merely on the
furnishing of collateral. The bank will have to be a partner in the project. This will
require to careful security of the project and the assessment of risk involved because
profits are the function of the amount of risk in the project. Honesty and trust form both
sides of the market are more important to the system of Islamic Banking.

FOURTH PHASE (1991-2011)


PRIVATIZATION AND DE-REGULATION:
The government headed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was not fully satisfied
with the performance of nationalized. The areas, which were severely criticized, were the
falling standard of banking services and common red-tapism. There were complaints
about the services as delay in home remittances, dispatch of cheques, drafts, inefficient
counter services, bad debts of the banks etc. were on the rise. The government decided to
privatize these banks. In order to implement privatization policy a privatization
commission was established on 22nd January 1991. The commission has transferred two
banks MCB and ABL to the private sector. Application for privatization of other banks
namely UBL and HBL were also invited but the bidding response was quite poor. Till
March 1994 there were 20 domestic scheduled banks with 9825 branches and 21 foreign
banks with 66 branches in operation in the country. Overall investment of the domestic
scheduled banks in the current year declined by 80% over the same period last year. In
October, 2002 UBL was sold to Abu Dhabi Group of Industry and Best Way Group of
Industry with 51% shares were given to them.
Bank of Commerce Al Habib Ltd.
Soneri Bank Ltd
Union Bank Ltd.
Indus Banks Ltd.
Mehran Bank Ltd.
Prime Commercial Bank Ltd.
Askari Commercial Bank Ltd.
Bolan Bank Ltd.
Capital Bank Ltd.
Republic Bank Ltd.
Now Mehran bank has been absorbed by National Bank Ltd, due to its poor
performance and ultimate failure. Now the ABN Amro Bank has also been included in
the list of foreign scheduled banks.

bank starts from January and ends on December. The accounts department starts
preparing budget from October the next year.

these funds.

borrowing from other banks, borrowing from SBP, banks paid-up capital, its
reserve fund, profit generated by the bank.

The bank may employ these funds in lending to others at a high rate of mark-up.

performance. Budget and actual performances are employed and variance is
computed for analysis.

Interpretation:
Earning assets to total assets is the activity ratio of the bank. It shows how effectively
bank puts its assets into work. Increasing trend is favorable. The efficiency of the banking
firm is measured by its ability to utilize its assets in a manner that they could be
profitable for the firm. Bank earning assets are increasing as compare to last year but it is
just a little bit increase. This ratio is acceptable as its shows increasing trend from
previous year (0.3% higher than previous year). Means bank works more effectively this
year. But still need to put more efforts because of though competition in respect of
Islamic banking

Interpretation:
1. The return on assets (ROA) percentage shows how profitable a company's
assets are in generating revenue.
This number tells you what the company can do with what it has, i.e. how many dollars
of earnings they derive from each dollar of assets they control. It's a useful number for
comparing competing companies in the same industry. The number will vary widely
across different industries. Return on assets gives an indication of the capital intensity of
the company, which will depend on the industry; companies that require large initial
investments will generally have lower return on assets. In this ratio net income increase
(11020925 to 14887113) 0.003:1.

SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture. It
involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the
internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieve that objective.
During six weeks of my stay at United Bank Limited Bank Road Branch Dasks I have
come across the following SWOT analysis of the bank.

STRENGTHS:
1. Online Software:
UBL has its own online software which is very useful for the bank.

2. Larger Networks:
It has larger network with over 1375 domestic and 20 overseas branches most of them are
online.

3. Credit Rating:

Internship Report(BC08002)

- 94 -

UBL has good credit rating from JCR-VIS with A-+, in short-term and AA in longterm.

4. ATM:
The bank has the largest ATM Network across the country. The customers of UBL
withdraw access their funds any time at all the ATM Sites with UBL Wallet all the time
Cash you need.
Help line is available with the ATM. This is 24 hours to contact with head office at any
problem regarding ATM.

5. Business Risk Review Department:


UBL has Business Risk Review Department to monitor risk management processes
within the bank.

6. Banking Software:
UBL acquired a new consumer banking software FAIRIZER comprising 3
separate systems, 1 system each for consumer banking, 2 &3 credit initiation & recovery.

7. Automatic Operations:
The operations which are performed by the bank are automated. The customers are
completed reliably, efficiently and securely from their transactions.

8. Quick Funds Transfer:


UBL management is quite prepared to adopt the latest advancements in technology
resulting in revolution in the banking operations such as check clearing process,
computer based teller equipment, automatic teller machines, and electronic funds
transfers among the others.

WEAKNESSES:
In my opinions these are the points that might be harmful to the efficiency and
profitability of the bank.

1. Simple Graduates:

Internship Report(BC08002)

- 95 -

Employees are not well educated as compare to other banks. In UBL DASKA employees
are simple graduates which have no more knowledge of Banking.

2. Recruiting and Selection:


In UBL DASKA, no system of recruiting and selection. There is no HR department. Only
reference base jobs provided.

3. Credit Process:
In UBL DASKA the credit process and documentation procedure is very lengthy.

4. Promotions:
Promotions are at annual base and ignore the capabilities and performance output.

5. Unions:
In UBL DASKA I saw the unions. Employees make union and leg pull to each other.

6. Hr Department:
In UBL DASKA there is no HR Department for training and selecting employees.

OPORTUNITIES:
Apart from the ones discussed in External Factors Evaluation Matrix, the bank is facing
the following threats and opportunities currently:
These are positive external environmental factors effecting the organization.

1. MBAS Hires:
UBL has mostly simple graduates as in the market a lot of MBAs are unemployed. It is
very good chance to hire them as compare to simple graduates.

2. Own ATM Network:


UBL have well experienced IT programmer they can make their own ATM network like
one link and M.net.

3. Foreign Investment:
A large amount of foreign investment is attracted because of the rapid growth in business.
Foreign investors due to a steady growth in the business of UBL have started some
projects with the UBL.

4. Online Branches:
UBL has larger network but not all branches are online, if all branches become online
then its business will grow.

5. Expansion in Set Up:


UBL has a potential for growth because of vast expansion in its set up which is definitely
due to its increasing business and customer focus approach. It has helped the UBL to
expand its setup in country as well as abroad.

6. Increase in Customers:
There is a steady increase in customer deposits of UBL because of its better provision
of services and customer satisfaction approach. In the modern era, due to increasing
competition, it is necessary for every organization to retain its customers which is
only due to the better provision of services.

7. Overseas Operations
Due to reputed and well setup in local as well as abroad UBL has a well organized
overseas operation which shows that UBL is progressing by leaps and bound. It can
easily capture some part of foreign market share due to its better services to its
customer.

8. Branches in Rural Areas


UBL is providing its services not only in cities of the country but also in rural areas.
This thing has enabled UBL to increase its market share as well as customer.

9. Islamic Banking

Internship Report(BC08002)

- 97 -

Due to increase in market of Islamic Banking, UBL has opportunity to capture the
market share in Islamic Banking. In the modern era, it is important for every
organization to keep in view the Islamic rules and regulations while providing
services to its customers and UBL is definitely fulfilling this standards.

10. Import and Exports


Besides of its normal operations in local market, UBL has opportunity to build its
worth in financing for import and export.

11. Innovative Products


Due to competition, UBL has opportunity to come with new products to survive in
market. In this changing environment, to win the heart of the customers it is necessary
to introduce variety of products to retain the customers as well as capturing the
market.

THREAT:
1. Threat of Technology:
This is the era of competition; expansion with all good SFIs and banks with new
technology. It is threat for losing its market share. Promotion campaigns run by
competitors in TV, bill boards and news papers etc.

2. Competition:
Increase in competition due to increasing number of foreign and domestic private banks
offering highly specialized and attractive services.

3. ATM Network:
The ATM network has not its own thats why huge amount transfer into the ABN ambro
account.

4. Employees:
Well-experienced employees leaved UBL because they receive good offer from other
banks.

5. Political Environment:
Pakistani political environment is not stable which leave bad effect on all sectors.

6. High Employees Turnover:


As discussed above, the job satisfaction level of the employee is very low resulting in
high turnover, which is bad for any organization as there are huge monetary and nonmonetary costs involved in the fresh recruitments.

7. Less Attractive Rate of Return:


Commercial banks face considerable competition in attracting deposits from individuals
or small investors. In contrast, the Govt. of Pakistan national saving scheme offers
attractive rates of return.

8. Less Experienced Staff:


Due to huge turnover of the employees, the no. of experienced and well trained staff is
very low. Majority of the staff working in the UBL branches is quite young and
inexperienced. If the bank failed to bring down its high employees turnover, then it would
be lacking the most important resources of any organization i.e. the experienced staff.

Recommendation:

On the basis of SWOT analysis we see that the Banks strengths are more than its
weaknesses but still there is room for a lot of improvement and innovation.
I hope that these humble suggestions may be appreciated. These are as follows:
HR Department should be in UBL for recruiting and selecting, training to
employees because manpower is a big asset for an organization.
Management should be at merit and experience base.
The recruitment policy which is in UBL DASKA should be change.
Decentralization strategy should be. Some power also gives to the branches.
Should be customer oriented.
All branches should be online.
Branches should be rural areas.

Training session should be held for learning new technology and how to deal with
customers.
UBL should develop their own ATM network because ATM machine remain
disturbed in some cities.
Before allow issuing any loans the credit worthiness of the client is assured seeing
that they are past dealing with other banks in the area. This would certainly help
in deducing risk of default.
Should be given value and due importance to the customers who have continuous
interaction with the bank and have sound deposits in their accounts.
The attitude with the customer should be courteous and friendly manner.
All the branches should be equipped with modern facilities like tax consultancy,
interest and computers.
A qualified and skilled staff should be introduced and strategies should be
developed to divert to quality banking rather than quantity.

In order to improve the image of bank and create public awareness, bank
should establish separate Marketing department.
Should be separate counter with well-mannered trained employees for providing
guidance and every kind of information to customers.
Customer should be facilitated at the time of payment of utility bills to avoid rush
and mismanagement.
The management should work free from political pressure.
A plan should be developed to use professionally qualified new blood, relating to
finance and marketing.
All the unions should be removed from the branches.
Should be given incentives to employees for motivation.

Conclusion:

The conclusion of the report is that if we see the financial statements of UBL, we shall
come to know that is making progress by leaps and bounds. The profits of UBL and its
market share increased considerably during the last few years and this trend is expected
to continue into the future.
I conclude that UBL has a very prosperous presents and future, which assures the
maximization of shareholders wealth. Besides it, if the bank keeps in view the above
mentioned recommendations then it would be in such a situation that will really help it
towards the road of success and development.

With the above mentioned things, I think that there is also a drawback on the part of the
employees & customers and in order to make the proper working of the bank. The
customers should also cooperate with the bank which will help it to satisfy its customers
easily. It will also help the bank to compete with its competitors in the country as well as
on international level.
In the modern era of Globalization, it is necessary for every organization to keep in view
the element of Globalization because the ignorance of it will enable an organization to
move away from its journey of success. The role of government also plays a major role in
the success of a business when policies and procedures are made by it regarding every
sector.
