Chapter I
Over the past fifteen years, the bank has been able to improve the quality of services, invest
in technology and people, use its extensive branch network, build a large and stable deposit
base and improve its non-performing loans through better risk. Management has focused on
development. Management Process MCB Bank Limited is one of the largest banks in
Pakistan. The MCB Tower in Karachi serves as the headquarters of the Muslim Commercial
Bank and is the tallest building in Pakistan. On the advice of Merrill Lynch, MCB became the
fourth Pakistani company to be listed on the London Stock Exchange when it submitted a
deposit certificate of 150 million. MCB has the highest NIM (Net Interest Margin) in the
industry due to its ability to keep financing costs low. These margins are expected to be
maintained as high-yielding consumer loans meet price pressures in other parts of the
portfolio as well as rising financial costs. MCB is one of the highest ROA (Return on Assets)
and ROE (Return on Equity) in the banking industry.

Introduction
The word "bank" is derived from the word banque or bencus. This banking date is 200 BC.
Banks are, in fact, an ancient society, because since man has realized the importance of
money through exchange, there has naturally been a need for control or regulation or
institution. They live in Greece who kept people's money and valuables in temples.
In this way, they continue to act as financial agents. The origin of the bank goes first to the
people of silver and goldsmiths. They kept people's money and valuables safe. The first step
in the development of modern banking was therefore to raise cash from those who had extra
money. The goldsmith uses it to issue receipts for deposits. In the settlement of the
transaction, this income began to flow hand in hand because people had confidence in the
integrity and reputation of the goldsmith. When it was found out that these receipts have been
fully accepted in the repayment of loans. Receipts were then drawn in such a way that it
allowed any holder to claim a certain amount from the goldsmith. A depositor who has the
right to pay refers to receiving cash from the goldsmith or paying a receipt to the lender.
These receipts were earlier notes. The second phase of banking development was therefore
the issuance of banknotes. The goldsmith sooner or later discovered that not all the people
who had deposited money with them came to withdraw their funds in cash and they also
found that only a few people submitted cash receipts within a specified period. They also
found that most of the money they had deposited was wasted. At the same time, they found
that they were constantly asked for loans with good guarantees. He thought it would be
beneficial to lend at least some of the money he had saved to the needy. This has proved to be
a lucrative business for goldsmiths. Instead of charging depositors a custodial fee, they
started paying interest on their deposits. This was the third phase of the bank's development.
At the time of the Independent, there were 631 regular bank offices in Pakistan, of which 487
were in West Pakistan alone. As a new helpless because of scarce resourceful country, it was
very difficult for Pakistan to take over its banking system immediately. Therefore, the
Committee of Experts recommended that the Reserve Bank of India should continue to
operate in Pakistan till September 30, 1948, so that issues of time limit and liability on time,
coins, foreign exchange, etc. could be settled between Pakistan and India. Non-Muslims have
started transferring their fund accounts to India. At the end of June 1948, the number of
agents of banks registered in Pakistan decreased from 631 to 225. Pakistani institutions,
Habib Bank of Pakistan and Australian Bank. The bank's customer was not satisfied with the
13
HAMZA KHALID 70072479
bank's uncertainty. Similarly, the Reserve Bank of India was not in favor of the government
of Pakistan. The government of Pakistan decided to create a full-fledged central bank. The
Governor of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, established the STATE BANK
OF PAKISTAN (SBP) on July 1, 1948. The banking infrastructure in Pakistan includes the
following types.
Commercial banks have been the most efficient savings mobilizer and have provided short-
term working capital to trade, commerce and industry. As of December 31, 1973, 14
Pakistani commercial banks were operating through a network of branches across the country
and in some foreign countries.
The State bank of Pakistan is the central Bank of Pakistan and was established on July 1,
1948. In the event of East Pakistan's secession and economic downturn, its effects caused
great difficulties for the Pakistani banking system. The branches of bank network now cover
a large part of the national economy. The number of branches has increased significantly and
now the bank has branches for about 3000 residents. Reserves have increased significantly
since the formation of Pakistan. The government introduced the need to privatize banks and
state-owned enterprises in Pakistan in the late 1990s. The private sector has accepted the
challenge and most of banks are privatized today.

A research report by Spectrum Research suggests that the expected reduction in interest rates
should accelerate growth in working capital and consumer finance.
On the other hand, the reduction in the policy rate in 2020 improved the returns on
investments that banks have long-term GDP and reduced interest rates as well as non-
performing loans.
Since November 2018, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has raised the policy rate by 325
basis points to 13.25%, as a result, bank deposits have recovered by 10%. PKR 8.158 billion,
while in 2019 investment increased by 16%.
In terms of profitability of the sector, which is expected to remain healthy due to better asset
distribution, banks have a large share of investment in long-term instruments and growth as
well as reduction in non-performing loans. Performance. NPL) NIMs are likely to be
19
HAMZA KHALID 70072479
forwarded. Ongoing economic stability and a low interest rate environment will bring NPLs
to a minimum.
Regardless, in 2019, MCB outperformed its peers in terms of Return on Equity (ROE),
Capital and Savings Account (CASA), Capital Advocacy Ratio (CAR) and the highest
dividend payments in the industry.
Going forward, the MCB will benefit from a reduction in policy rates, as the bank has a large
investment in long-term GDP. In addition, lower interest rates will force the bank to increase
its share of low-cost deposits (current account deposits) to maintain NIMs, which were 4.9%
in CY19 and 5.2% in CY20. (Desk, 2020)
Although MCB Bank has this competitive edge over his competitors but has lots of other
weaknesses in this industry which will be discussed in the SWOT & PEST analysis.

short-term growth and transaction needs. Their savings accounts offer attractive interest rates

Too much paper work for each thing which causes painstaking worload on employees and

customer disatisfied experience.
Bad time management is the biggest mistake in MCB branches, as the official closing time of
the bank is 5:30 pm, but the staff is usually at their seats from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. ۔
In almost all branches, it is also noted that the staff complains of overwork. That is why the
turnover rate of MCB is increasing.

Employees at the branch level are not enough to work. They find routine activities boring.

Macro Analysis
PEST Analysis
Political
Political stability and a controlled public order situation are prerequisites for any economic
growth and increase investor confidence in the country, giving companies a potential
investment opportunity. However, political instability can harm the economy/stock market,
resulting in lower profits.
The current situation of the government in Pakistan directly affects the policies of the banks.
However, MCB tries to keep its business away from politics, but it is not an easy task. The
MCB does not have a political leader or party account. However, its customer service is
under equal pressure from these political parties.
Economic
The current situation of Pakistan is somewhat fine because cement, textile, stock exchange,
and automobile industry boom but its trickle-up golden growth; not beneficial for lower strata
of society so which could affect the customers of MCB bank too.
The growth rate fell by almost half, from 6.2% to 3.3%. The Pakistani rupee has lost one-fifth
of its value against the dollar since the beginning of the current financial year. Inflation is
expected to hover around 12% in the next 12 months, which is expected to rise in the next 10
years.
Social
The social environment includes family, friends, a person's character, and status. An
individual's life works directly according to the company and the individual according to his
company. The cultural environment includes principles, values, religion, ideas, and concepts.
35
HAMZA KHALID 70072479
If we look at it from a religious point of view, interest is not allowed, which is why most
people are reluctant to invest their savings in banks and yet they do not know about Islamic
banking.
Traditional merchants do not like to do business with banks. They pay their creditors in cash,
not by check. They do not want to take bank facilities.
MCB has been influenced by social and cultural factors, Pakistanis are traditionalists who
dislike MCB's modern banking environment. Some consumers do not use ATMs, they still
prefer ATMs, such social and cultural factors affect the banking environment and its
functioning.
Nowadays lots of automobiles and other sector related companies going to or will be
investing in Pakistan which could be beneficial for MCB bank too
Technological/Technical
Technology has a profound effect on a wide variety of organizations, be it banks or charities.
MCB technology has a great impact on the working environment. Most banks use computers,
no bank manually stores data, so the bank must be in constant touch with modern ways of
doing things. MCB is always at the forefront of introducing new computer systems to keep its
staff up to date. The intranet plays an important role in improving staff knowledge. Because
of this technology, bank staff stays in touch with customers via email. This is possible only
with the help of ATMs and online banking technology. As such, technology plays a key role
and helps management improve its performance.

CHAPTER 2 | WORKING
EXPERIENCE
Chapter 2 | Working Experience
Brief Explanation of my six weeks internship at MCB
I worked as an intern at MCB for six weeks as per the requirements of the university. During
my internship, the atmosphere inside MCB was very good and friendly. I learned a lot from
their management, such as how to work in a standard location.
On my first day in MCB, Mr ISHFAQ AHMED, Branch Manager, introduced me to all the
employees of the bank. After that I was handed over to Ma’am Heena Shahid, she is the
Branch Operations Manager, she was very responsible for my learning in the bank and then
after that CRM Ma’am Sumyya Zehri guided me about account opening processes, how to
pitch customers for investments, credit cards, calling for VDC and all the work related to
products and services sales because Branch manager and RM are relevant to the sales
department of Bank.
I worked under it for two weeks. After that, I moved on as General Banking officer which
Ma’am Farzeen Qaiser, as she was on vacation so her substitute Sir Muhammad Shahid
Qamar supervised me.
He was very helpful and friendly. He provided me with all the information I requested and
was very supportive.
And I got a chance to see audit officers work too and learnt from them about their work that
how to branch operations and performance is evaluated.
Then for next remaining weeks, I got an opportunity to work as CSO for a week because
Ma’am Tallat Hafeez went on vacation for 12 days and after that, last week I got through all
the routine works again and dealt with diverse nature, behavior, race and persona customers.
The most important benefit of an internship is that I got practical exposure from the
workplace. I have gained hands-on experience working in my field.
Learned the process of opening a personal account, issuing verified vouchers and issuing
cheque books, issuing and tracking ATM cards, learning about different types of ATM cards,
completing online and deposit slips, Visa Debit Card forms issued, filled cheques on
customers’ requests who didn't know how to write cheques, filled funds transfer
forms/Bankers Cheque or Call Deposit Receipts which are also known as Pay Orders. I have
also heard of authorized signatures. I also learned how to market a product in 1 minute. I
learned to use photostat machines and scanners.

First Week
In the first week of my internship, I work with a general banking officer. GBO explained me
about the general concept of banking. He gave me a brief overview of the deposit slip and
many of the applications and vouchers used in the bank. GBO also taught me about the
different controls and their functions.
Second week:
I work with the account opening service in the second week. Here, I learned about opening of
different types of accounts. What elements/essentials needed and were taken into account
when opening the account? How to close accounts and issue cheque books and much more.
Third week:
During the third week, I worked in the Clearing section of General Banking Dept Section. I
learned various things like internal/Inward and external/outward cleaning. I also learn how to
fill clearing entrances. I also receive cheques from customers to fill them, and worked as
CSO too along with other activities till the 5th week.
Fourth week:
Fourth week, I work with the Remittance Department under and also, I learned about that
how to make PO and CDR.
Fifth week:
In the fifth week, I work Treasury Department as assistant. I work with both remittance and
payment dept. Collected customer cheques and collect utility bills from customers.
Sixth week:
Last week I worked in the ATM department. Learn the complete ATM procedure. Learn how
to locker. Finally, I work with all departments (General Banking, Clearing, Remittances,
ATMs and Cash).

In filling the check. If there is any cut or overwriting in the slip, then it is necessary to
get the signature of the customer at the place where the cut was made.
The amount is written should be the same in words and numbers.
In the case of customers who do not have a bank account, a copy of CNIC is required
to fill up the deposit slip.
Online transaction method through Deposit Slips (along with cheques or cash deposit:

client such as father, mother, brother, sister, no friend or other people in it need NIC only for
those who are related to bloodline.
The cheque book has 25, 50, 100 sheets. The bank enters the cheque book issuance entry in
the register where it enters the customer's name, account number, start and end cheque book
sheet number and finally the bank employee/officer takes the customer's signature.
Clearing is a facility provided by banks to transfer funds to customers. Here I explain clearing
with an example. A MCB client receive a cheque from a person who is a client of another
bank. Present this check to MCB. The bank put the process on this checque and this example
is also for outward clearing. Now, I define two types of compensation:
48
HAMZA KHALID 70072479
Serial Number.
Account number of the collector/depositor
Collector/depositor name
Cheque number
Cheque the amount.
Cross stamp in front of the cheque.
And the seal of compensation.
And the stamp will be credited to the back of the cheque beneficiary's account.
49
HAMZA KHALID 70072479
Cheque clearings:
Clearing cheques are made at banks in the same city or region. These zones exist in the local
zone according to the NIFT distribution.
Inward payment/remittance:
The first type of payment of remittance is an inward payment in which the bank receives
from the customer to transfer money.
Outward payment/remittance:
The second type of remittance is outward remittance in which the bank issues the payment to
the client on behalf of another person.
50
HAMZA KHALID 70072479

HAMZA KHALID 70072479
In the cash register, users deposit money into the account. Customers fill in the deposit slip
and confirm with the bank employee/officer then present the deposit slip at the counter. The
cashier again confirmed that he had received the money and transferred it to the account.
When a person wants to receive money from a bank, he writes a check and draws it at the
bank. The BOM bank checks and signs the check that the cheque is then transferred to the
cashier, who also confirms the cheques and then pays the amount to the customer.
The money is safe in the bank locker and all the daily procedures are done. Record entries in
books and match the amount based on the record data.
The Treasury Department is the most dangerous department. The work of an accountant is
also so difficult because the change in the entry of one rupee there becomes an illegal job and
the accountant goes under observation. The Treasury Department is in danger and the
manager was not allowed to enter the department without the permission of the Treasury
agents. The management of the bank takes many precautions such as grilling the entire space
of the cash department, cameras are placed inside the department, a guard is assigned to the
security of the cash department.

ATM card:
Banks offer this facility to customers who have bank account. This is the procedure
for issuing ATM through a bank.
The customer completes the ATM issuance form. Provides information to the
customer bank that requests the form.
This form is verified by the General Banking Officer and after verification, the data in
this form is sent to the Ministry of Karachi working there.
When banks receive the DAK of ATM cards from their head office of Karachi cards
department, they send it to the customer at the address listed on the form, only when it
doesn’t receive at home address of customers otherwise it directly delivers to
customers through 3rd party dak delivery company and currently MCB is working
with Leopards DAK delivery company for this service facility.
When the customer receives the card, he calls the bank's helpline to register the card
and receive the password number he wants.
When the card is registered, it becomes usable by the user.
MCB provides customers with different types of lockers, such as small size lockers, medium
size lockers, large size lockers, locker fees. The locker is opened with two keys. One key is in
the custody of the customer and the other is in the custody of the bank.

Account opening:
The bank was opening three to five accounts a day, so there is a long-form that many people
do not fill out themselves. I complete the account opening form and sign it through the
supervisor.
Voucher:
I made debit and credit vouchers in one day. Debit to charge the account holder commission
and credit for transferring any income to the account holder's account.

The same thing applies to clearing the entrance. When the MCB receives its bank cheque and
then records the data, the customer's account is debited for the amount that is entered in the
collection cheque.

CHAPTER 3
At first, I was shy and felt like alien to the place and nervous about working with staff
because I never had experienced this way before and being an introverted person, it was kind
of mammoth challenge because understanding the banking system in a practical field for the
first time, but as the day passes, I get adaptive to environment and broke my comfort zone
walls to get involved the functions of this environment and to do this my supervisors helped
and trained me very well. I have learnt a lot of skills at MCB that will be helping me
throughout my future career and practice ahead. I also learn how to manage the workload at
the bank. My supervisor demands a lot of work from me and I have tried my best to do,
although I’m a slow learner once I get it, I make it better than ever because I’ve persona of
consciousness and openness to experience, and it was quite painstaking for me because I was
doing practical for the first time but well because these were my responsibilities so I had to
do with full enthusiast. I observe many things while doing an internship at MCB, the
internship also affects my future career plans and it helps to combine my knowledge with
practical work in the field.
Interpersonal skills
Dealing with the client.
Emotional Intelligence/ Manage difficult times at the bank.
Problem solving

Planning for your future is a paradoxical puzzle to solve. Many people usually fail to choose
the right career and this leads to failure in their life. Before my internship, I didn't have a
clear idea in my mind about a practical field like banking. But while doing an internship at
MCB Bank, my vague image comes to mind. My expectations in this area are often right, so
an internship within MCB Bank strongly influences my future career plan.

MCB employees are not satisfied as the management adopts various techniques to motivate the
employees as their employees are important factors of their organization.
Many people do not know about the products and services of the bank, so MCB should advertise its
products and adopt various marketing techniques in advertising the products and services so that
people can easily understand.
I recommend banks treat every customer equally, give the same protocol to every customer, whether
they have a large bank account or a small bank account.
MCB Bank has centralization, so it should change its organizational structure from centralization to
decentralization and introduce new cloud storage system insted of paper work for records.
Staff lacks organizational loyalty. Therefore, the management can only manage it by giving benefits to
every employee on an equal basis.
Promotion is based solely on seniority, not expertise/talent, so management should change its
promotion strategy theme.
Most remittances are sent to Pakistan through MCB Limited Bank. Most of this money is spent on
luxury items. People should be encouraged to save money by offering deposits through various
investment programs. This will be a profitable setup for the bank.
Most bank workers stay in one seat, so they become employed and lose their grip on other banking
operations.
On-the-job refresher courses are important in any international organization. All employees do these
courses according to their needs. Foreign experts can also be called in for this purpose.
Every year employees should be sent to other countries for training and employees from other branches
should be brought here.
Prompt delivery of financial products and services should guarantee customer satisfaction.
Employees should be promoted based on their turn. The bank should spend more on promotional
activities.
The Bank should conduct a series of training programs to achieve its mission to develop human capital.
Management should treat subordinates very kindly and not harshly to motivate employees and increase
productivity and efficiency.

Conclusion
MCB is on track and could be a major player in the banking sector if bring change in its
working system by implementing cloud data storage system in its operations instead of old
fashioned paperwork which causes lots of paper and is difficult to handle and manage
although they are using ORACLE for the database it was only for few operations, which
could be implemented to branch level daily operations, and its management is committed to
implementing its strategy to achieve its goals, As MCB's strategy includes a steady increase
in business volume by providing a wide range of innovative financial products and solutions
to a growing customer base. However, this development is without compromising on the
quality of the credit portfolio for which there is a well-designed and transparent risk
management system, but there are still some areas for improvement and the bank should
adopt more promotional activities. The banking system as a whole is healthy, despite the
economic downturn. The MCB made sure to take advantage of all possible positive
opportunities and made significant profits while ensuring solid asset growth. MCB's profits
have increased significantly in the last few years and this trend is expected to continue. From
my results, I have given some suggestions and recommendations for the bank, if the bank
follows them, the bank will be more prosperous and will be on the path to success.
