Preamble
At a time when retail or consumer banking is the mainstay of every
financial institution, it becomes imperative that products tailor made to
the requirements of the customers be formulated and offered in the
market. No financial offering, whether a liability or an asset product,
can survive in the long run, if it does not take into account specific
customer needs. The idea of consumer financing in Pakistan has
gained momentum as both the consumers as well as commercial
banks have responded favourably.

At present consumer financing being undertaken by the banks can be


divided into a few core categories comprising financing of consumer
durables, office equipment, automobiles, and housing. Most of the
financial institutions are more actively involved in car financing as
compared to other consumer finance products.

Declining interest rates and increased auto financing through banks,


leasing companies and Mudarabas have played a vital role to boost
up the auto sales like never before. In turn, it has helped enhance the
overall auto production because financing make up over 45 per cent
of total car sales today.
Banks enjoying an unprecedented liquidity find auto loan a highly
receptive market offering attractive returns in a comparative short
period of time. The availability of easy credit and the falling interest
rates have made financing a viable option for many. The base of auto
credit has witnessed an expansion never dreamt possible before
allowing the banks to find a lucrative market to invest the excess
liquidity.

In line with Prime Bank’s vision for a modernized banking and to


introduce innovative products in the market, the Bank has placed
greater emphasis on Consumer Banking with the launch of its first
consumer finance product of Car Financing Scheme, under the brand
name of “Prime Car”.

“Prime Car” Procedures Manual explicitly covers all functional,


operational, accounting, security, and monitoring aspects of Car
Financing Scheme, giving proper guidance at the branch and Head
Office levels.

The manual is the first step towards progress and strengthening of


consumer banking products in the bank’s environment.
