 History & Introduction

HISTORY OF BANKING
The word ‘Bank’ is said to have been derived from the words Bancus
or Banque or Bank.
This history of banking is traced to as early as 2000 B.C. The priests in Greece u
sed to keep
money and valuables of the people in temples. These priests thus acted as financia
l agents.
The origin of banking is also traced to early goldsmiths. They used to keep strong
safes fro
storing the money and valuables of the people. The persons who had surplus money f
ound it safe and convenient of deposit their valuables with them. The
first stage in the development of modern banking, thus, was the
accepting of deposits of cash from those
persons who had surplus money with them.
The goldsmiths used to issue for the money deposited with them. These receipts beg
an to
pass form hand to hand in settlement of transactions because people had confidence
in the integrity and solvency of goldsmiths. When it was found that
these receipts were fully
accepted in payment of debts; then the receipts were drawn in such a way that it e
ntitled
any holder to claim the specified amount of money form goldsmiths. A depositor who
is to
make the payments may now get the money in cash form goldsmiths or pay over the re
ceipt to the creditor. These receipts were the earlier bank notes. The
second stage in the development of banking thus was the issue of bank notes.
The goldsmiths soon discovered that all the people who had deposited money with th
em do
not come to withdraw their funds in cash. They found that only a few persons prese
nted the receipts for encashment during a given period of time. They
also found that most of the money deposited with them was lying idle.

MCB BANK LTD. (HISTORICAL BACKGROUND)
Before separation of Indo Pak, the need for more Muslim banks was
felt. And
Muslims having strong financial capacity were thinking to invest in this ‘sector a
s well. This
was the idea, which paved the way for setting up MCB Bank Ltd known as MCB. This w
as the third Muslim bank in the subcontinent. MCB is one of the
leading banks of Pakistan with a deposit base of about Rs. 230
billion and total assets of around Rs.300 billion. Incorporated in 1947, MCB soon
earned the reputation of a solid and conservative financial institution
managed by expatriate
executives. In 1974, MCB was nationalized along with all other private sector ban
ks. This led to deterioration in the quality of the Bank’s loan
portfolio and service quality. Eventually, MCB was privatized in 1991.
This bank was incorporated under companies’ act 1913 on 9th
July 1947 (just before partition) at Calcutta. But due to changing
scenario of the region, the certificate of
incorporation was issued on 17th August 1948 with a delay of almost 1 year; the ce
rtificate
was issued at Chit gong. The first Head office of the company was established at D
haka and Mr. G.M. Adamjee was appointed first chairman. It was
incorporated with an authorized capital of Rs. 15 million.
After some time the registered office of the company was
shifted to Karachi on August 23rd, 1956 through a special resolution,
now recently the Head office of MCB has been transferred to Islamabad
in July, 1999 and now Head office is termed as Principle Office.
This institute was nationalized with other on January 1st,
1974. At that time it had
506 branches and deposits amounting to Rs. 1,640 million. Although. MCB has a repu
tation
of a conservative bank but nationalization also left its effects on this institute
as well and by
end of year 1991 in which it was privatized the total number of branches were 1.28
7 and deposits amounting to as high as Rs. 35,029 million.
Between January 1974 and March 1991, it remained in the
public sector as a Nationalized Commercial Bank for a period of over
17 years. It was privatized on April 8, 1991. The privatization of
Muslim Commercial Bank marked the beginning of the
privatization era in Pakistan, as MCB was the first public sector enterprise to be
privatized. This large and highly successful privatization event
represented a quantum leap towards deregulating the economy, more so as
MCB was the largest private commercial bank in Pakistan.
When privatization policy was announced in 1990, MCB was the first to be
privatized
upon recommendations of World Bank and IMF. The reason for this choice was the bet
ter profitability condition of the organization and less risky credit
portfolio which made” it a
8
good choice for investors. On April 8th, 1991, the management control was handed o
ver to
National Group (the highest bidders). Initially only 26% of shares were sold to pr
ivate sector at Rs. 56 per share.
The bank remained in the private sector until January 1974.
The challenge to make this venture a success was multi‐faceted and the Nation Grou
p was
conscious of the great responsibility it had accepted. The Group constituted a man
agement team which had the managerial experience and expertise required
for meeting such
challenge i.e. reviving a business enterprises which had been under state control
for nearly two decades. Fortunate for the bank and its valued
customer, the new management comprised of well‐known professional leaders
in business and banking industry. The bank continues to benefit from
their vast and varied experience in both domestic and international
trade,
finance and industry. Details of these achievements are described in ensuing parag
raph.

Progress since privatization

The post privatization leaders brought about qualitative changes in all
shapes of management to reinvigorate the bank for meeting the
challenges posed by pressures generated by free market forces. MCB
remained conscious of the serious economic challenges Pakistan had been
facing, and its marketing thrust has been directed at
improving and enlarging its trade finance service capabilities. The resultant siza
ble increase in the bank’s share of foreign trade business of both
national and multi‐national
corporations has been very encouraging. Besides this commendable success, the bank
has also pioneered marketing of a much wider variety if saving and
investment products, and has also set‐up investment banking and
portfolio management services. The aim of these efforts is to speed up
mobilization of savings for channeling them into ever expanding
investment needs of a de‐regulated economy.
After privatization, the growth in every department of the bank has been observed.
Following are some key developments: Launching of different on foreign trade.
Increased participation of foreign service level.
Betterment of branches and staff service level.
Introduction of Rupee Traveler Cheques & Photo Credit Card for the first time in
Pakistan. 5) Extended use of information technology, which is evident
from the fact that there are 768 fully automated braches, 243 online
branches (integrated networking), 151 ATMS in 27 cities nation wide and
a M.C.B continuously innovate new product. During the last fifteen
years, the Bank has concentrated on growth through improving
service quality, investment in technology and people, utilizing its extensive bran
ch network, developing a large and stable deposit base and managing its
non‐performing loans via improved risk management processes.

Training & Development
The Bank has a highly developed training systems, which includes three
staff colleges
at Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad providing internal training at all levels of the
Bank in order
to continually improve efficiency, banking skills and customer service.
Cognizant of the specific training needs of its staff, the Bank has bee
n nominating its
staff in courses offered by reputable domestic as well as overseas training instit
utions.

Investment in new technology

Banking in Pakistan is becoming an increasingly more sophisticated fi
nancial service industry than it has ever been in the past. Customer
Services expectations have gone up
considerably, and to meet these expectations, technology has been acquired a pivot
al role.
Provision of prompt and efficient customer services is becoming virtually impossib
le without a quantum leap in replacing old technology inherited from the pre‐
privatization era. There is an increased reliance on
computerized operations in branch offices to
augment their capability in routine record keeping, convenience in information ret
rieval and streamlining customer services. Before privatization
MCB had only 60 computerized branches. Today, 942 branches (400 on‐line
& 542 off‐line) are computerizes. This shows the commitment of the
bank towards the efficiency and customer satisfaction and adapting to
new realities. The Bank has recently purchased new customer‐
centric global banking software called “SYMBOLS”. It
will be installed soon and will start functioning in 2004. To provide 24‐
hours cash facility to its customers, the bank has so far 214 branches with
automated Teller Machines (ATMs) in 34 cities including Karachi,
Hyderabad, Nawabshah, Larkana Sukkur, Quetta, R.Y.khan, Sadiqabad,
Bahawalpur, Multan, Sahiwal, Lahore, Wazirabad, Kamoki, Faislabaad,
Sargodha, Gujrat, Gujrawala, Sialkot, Jehlum,
Rawalpindi, Islamabad, wah, Haripur, Abbattabad, peshawaer, Nnushera, Murree and S
wat.
The Debit or Smart Card has also been added to the list of MCB products to further
facilities
the customers. MCB is also the host of MNET with 76 ATMs of 17 members making a to
tal network of 290 ATMs. From April 2004, two switches – MNET and 1‐
Link have established a joint network of over 670 ATMs in Pakistan.
The Bank also started replacing conventional telex messaging
system for funds transfer, L/C opening etc. by connecting on‐line with
the world wide Inter‐bank Financial Telecommunication Network (SWIFT) So
far, MCB has 54 branches using SWIFT. Besides substantial saving in
cost, the use of this fast and secure communication technology has
enabled the Bank to provide quick and efficient service to its customers.

Banking Sector Overview
Pakistan’s banking and finance sector grew by over 21 percent from July 2004‐ Marc
h 2005 amid the eight percent expansion in the services sector in Pakistan.
Financial sector in Pakistan is going through a fast‐paced transition
as new groups were buying out foreign banks’ operations in Pakistan.
The number of listed banks is also increasing. While the income from
core banking activity has increasing due to higher business volume,
earnings are also expected to improve due to ventures into consumer
finance, housing finance and enhanced lending to the agriculture sector.
In just four years the banking industry has expanded tremendously and now there ar
e more than two dozen commercial and investment banks operating in the
country. Commercial banks in the private sector had performed well
since their inception, registering overall
growth in the deposit base and profits. The banks also managed to maintain a healt
hy credit portfolio. Foreign banks have a strong presence in all major
cities and are targeting high net worth individuals and blue chip
companies. Their strategy is quite successful as they account for
about 34 percent of total sector profits, despite having only 15 percent of deposi
ts and 16 percent of advances.

MCB’s Performance Overview

The first half of 2005 was very promising for MCB, as the bank has achieved pre ta
x profits
of Rs. 4.2 billion, compared with Rs. 2.2 billion for the same period in 2004. Pro
fit after tax
has more than doubled compared to the corresponding period for 2004 and exceeds Rs
. 3
billion – highest ever profit in the history of MCB. This translates into earning
per shares of Rs. 7.43.
Advance and deposit increased to Rs. 156 billion and Rs. 241 billion reflecting a
growth of
14% and 10% respectively. Additionally the bank’s assets expanded by 16% during th
e half year ended 2005 and crossed Rs. 300 billion marks.
Bank’s equity (capital and reserves) increased by 41% during the half year, which
was due to the issue of right shares and retained earnings. Increase in
equity would improve the
lending limit and would provide the opportunity for significant growth of the bank
’s balance
sheet. This would also help to meet the capital requirement under Basel Accord II,
which will be effective from 2007.
Based on continuing growth and consistently outstanding performance, MCB has once
again
received the Euromoney Award 2005 for the “Best Bank in Pakistan”. MCB has become
the
only bank to receive the Euromoney Award for Excellence for the fifth time in last
six years.
In addition, Asia Money has also declared MCB as “The Best Domestic Commercial Ban
k in Pakistan” for the year 2005.
25
Fields of MCB Activities
The purpose of banks is to provide some services to the general
public. And for these
purpose different banks provide different services bank, in modern time commercial
banks
play a very important role and their functions are manifold. The main functions an
d services which MCB BANK Limited provides to different peoples are as follows.

g) h) i) For proper functioning of branches and the over all bank

departments. These departments handle different jobs so that division of work is t
here for
improvement of functions and also it is easy to control the situation. The general
division in a branch is as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Cash department
Deposit department Advance & credit department Foreign exchange department
Technology department (new addition in order to cop with the growing needs of
day to day technology requirements.)
Issuing of travelers cheques and letters of credit to give credit facilities to

Purchasing shares for the customers. Undertaking foreign exchange business.
Furnishing trade information and tendering advice to customers.

Cash Department
The following books are maintained in the Cash Department: 1. 2. 3.

Receiving Cash Book Paying Cash Book Cash Balance Book

26
When cash is received in counter, it is entered in the Scroll Book
and Receiving
Cashier Book. At the close of the day, these are balanced with each other.
When the cheque or any negotiable instrument is presented at counter for payment,
it is entered in the token book and token is issued to the customer. The token cle
rk and the
Cashier make entries in the paying book and payment Cashier Book are balanced.
The consolidated figure of receipt and payment of cash is entered in
the cash balance book and drawn closing balance of cash.
Opening Balance + Receipts – Payments = closing Balance.
This is very important department because cash is the most liquid asset and mostly
frauds are made in this department, therefore, extra care is taken in this depart
ment and
nobody is allowed to enter or leave the area freely. Mostly, cash area is grilled
and its door is under supervision of the head of that department. All
the books maintained in this department are checked by an officer.

Deposit Department
Bank deals in money and they are merely mobilizing funds within the economy. They
borrow form one person and lend to another, the difference between the rate of bor
rowing
lending forms their spread or gross profit. Therefore we can rightly state that de
posits are the blood of the bank, which causes the body of an
institution to get to work. These deposits are liability of the bank
so from point of view of bank we can refer to them as liabilities.
The total deposits of MCB are growing since is inauguration but after
privatization there is a sharp incline in over all deposits of the
bank. The increase in deposits is also a
cause of increase on total number of accounts; bank has progressed in both aspects
.

Account Opening:
Account opening is an agreement in which customer offers his funds
and bank
accepts these funds, therefore the nature of relation between a banker and custome
r is of a
contractual one and all the conditions applicable to this contract act are also ap
plicable.

Procedure for Opening:

Procedure for opening of account is as follows:
A person, who wants to open any kind of account, has to fill in a printed form whi
ch
is provided by the bank, free of cost. Separate account opening forms are used fo
r different types of accounts. Bank usually requires that new depositor
must be introduced by some one. An
introducer can be any person known to the bank but preferably it should be a custo
mer of
the bank. However, the manager can open the account by his own introduction.

27
 If the manager is satisfied, it will obtain the full signature of
the customer‐ on the
form and specimen signature card, makes the first deposit, and issues the cheque b
ooks. The following are given to the customer:

Pay‐in‐slip is the proof of deposit. For every payment which is. To

be deposited in the bank, the pay‐in‐
slip is to be filled up. The object acknowledgment for receipt of money
to be credited this account. Cheque Book contains a number of cheques.
It enables a customer to make
withdrawal from this account or make payment of various parties by issue of cheque
. Pass Book is a copy of the customers account as appears in the

books of the bank. Balance is recorded in this book by the Clerk.

Clearing Department
Every banker acts both as paying as well as a collecting banker, It
is however an
important function of crossed cheques. A large part of this work is carried out th
rough the bankers clearing house.
A clearing house is a place where representative of all banks of the city get toge
ther
and settle the receipts and payment of cheques drawn on each other. As the collect
ing banker runs certain risks in receipt of their ownership the law
has provided certain protections t the banks.
The Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881, lays down hat drawer or holder of a cheque or
draft may cross the instrument generally or specially. It further lies down that
a crossed cheque can only be paid to a banker, who collects it for a
customer in good faith and without negligence.

Advances Department
Advances are the most important source of earning for the banks. MCB is also givin
g full attention towards this aspect and it is also obvious from the
growing portfolio of
advances and from very low delinquency rate. The credit portfolio of this institut
ion is in
a very much better shape than other financial institutions of Pakistan and the cre
dit goes
to the management and the staff who are concerned about the quantity and quality a
s well. 1) 2) 3) Loans Cash Credits Overdraft.

1)

Loans:

Loans are monetary assistance be a financial institution to a business, individual

etc.
The loans are granted by the bank in lump sum, so these types called fixed or dema
nd loans. Interest is charged on the whole amount of a fixed loan.

The borrower withdraws whole the amount of loan. This type of loan
is normally granted against security of gold documents.
28
 In case of demand loans against gold or documents, a demand promissory note for
the amount of loan is taken from the borrower loans are granted under; A)

Loan Against Gold:

Under this type of loan, which is granted to the borrower the Head Cashier estimat
es
the value of Gold or Gold ornaments through an agent (Gold smith) and keeps a marg
in of
40 to 50 percent. After the opening the gold loan account a token is given to the
borrower, which is a bank receipt.
On repayment of loan, the gold or ornaments held as security for it, together with
the demand promissory note duly discharged is returned to the borrower and his re
ceipt for
the gold ornament taken in the demand loan ledger. This receipts states that he or
naments returned are complete and in order. Part delivery of ornaments
is given against part
payment of a loan but care is taken that the ornaments still in banks possession f
ully covers
the balance of the loan outstanding. The interest gold loan is to be applied with
quarterly. B)

Loan Against Pledged of Stock:

In case of advancing such types of loans, the following precautions are dept in th
e mind: i) ii) iii) Requirement for Loan:
For granting loan to any party or individual, the bank checks following particular

By Credibility, bank Judges the credibility of the client by his past bank record,

 GENERAL BANKING DEPARTMENT

Clearing
a. b. c. d. Receiving the instruments deposited by customers
Posting the amount of instruments in credit of customer’s account
If cheque returns from the concerned bank, the customer account is debited.
Crossing stamp is put on the instrument and slip given to customer on receipt of
the instrument. Clearing stamp and “payee account credited” are put on
the instrument and the voucher.

As we know that, one of the basic economic functions of commercial banks is

to receive deposits and to honor cheques drawn upon them. So, cheque
is a most commonly used instrument for making payments by account
holder. Along with the cheques, there are some other negotiable
instruments like PO, DD, TC, PS, CDR etc.
(discussed in the next part) that are used for making payments and are drawn upon
a bank.
The question arises that how these cheques & other negotiable instruments
drawn on one bank are deposited in other banks and money is transferred from one b
ank to another. Clearing House has provided this facility.
Clearing house facilitates different
banks, on one city, to get their cheques drawn upon other banks to be cleared.
Cheques lodged in clearing constitute two types of clearing: Outward Clearing
Inward Clearing

Lodgement of Cheques In Outward Clearing

When cheques, TC’s and other negotiable instruments drawn upon their banks like MC
B, ABN‐
AMRO of the same city (as Lahore) is presented in MCBBANK LIMITED Ltd. To deposit
them in the respective payee’s accounts, these instruments are lodged in outward c
learing (o/w clg) of MCCBANK LIMITED.

Clearing Stamp:
After the cheques have been crossed specially, clearing stamp is put
on the cheques and other instruments, with the following day’s date,
as these cheques should have to be
presented in their concerned drawee banks on the subsequent day.

Endorsement Stamp:
The word endorsement is derived from Latin word ‘indorsum’ which means ‘on the bac
k’.
Ordinarily, it means anything written or printed upon the back of an instrument.
So, at the end, the cheques are endorsed in full (endorsed specially) by putting t
he
stamp with words describing “Payee’s account Credit5ed in BAL Circular road, Lahor
e”.

30
After putting these three stamps on cheques & other negotiable. Instruments, they
are sent to NIFT (National Institutional Facilitation Authority) with
Add List. NIFT after
segregating the cheques of different banks delivers them to their concerned banks,
which constitute the inward clearing for those drawee banks.

Accounting Procedure:
After lodgment of all cheques in outward clearing, Payee’s accounts are
credited by the amount of their vouchers. Drawee banks will debit the
drawer’s accounts in their inward clearing (discussed later).
As main branch Lhr. Of BAL deals with other banks through inter‐bank accounts and
we deal with our main branch. So, we (BAL Circular road) debit our
main Br. Account, maintained with us, by the total amount of outward
clearing and an IBDA (inter branch
debit advise) with a debit voucher is sent to main branch Lhr.
Local Clearing Main branch Payee’s Account Debit Credit

Return In Outward Clearing:

Some of the cheques lodged in o/q clearing are dishonored by the
concerned
branches due to some deficiencies and returned back through NIFT. This process is
carried out under main branch’s governance.
Either, these cheques are again lodged in outward clearing or returned to customer
s by canceling bank’s all stamps, based on the reasons. Now, the accounting
entries opposite to first are passed i.e. Payee’s accounts are
debited & main branch’s account is credited.

Inward Clearing
Cheque and other negotiable instruments (PO, DD, PS, CDR etc.) drawn on MCBBANK
LIMITED Circular Road, sent by other banks, constitute the inward clearing of BAL.
After having all the stamps and dates of cheques confirmed, the concerned drawer’
s accounts are debited (in BAL Circular Road) and main branch’s
account is credited by the total amount. DEBIT Drawer’s Accounts

Credit Department
In the credit department, the loans are issued only on the commercial basis, means
the loans are given to companies, partnerships and the sole
proprietorships. The
loans are issued against some securities and on a markup specified by the policies
of State Bank of Pakistan.
The branch has to send the reports about all types of customers and loans to the
head office. The branch can not take a decision to issue the loan to
any client
without prior agreement from the head office. The branch can only recommend to
grant or not to grant the credit to any client. The decision of the head office in
case of any issue is final.
The branch hires the services of different credit information service providers
to evaluate the financial position and the expected repaybility of the client.
The branch by itself prepares an eligibility score sheet to recommend to grant
or not to grant the credit to a particular customer.

Types of Credit At The Bank

Bank provides different credit facilities to its customers, in form of short‐

term credit. Following are the credit facilities that the customers
usually avail to meet their requirements.

Overdraft
This is the most common form of bank lending. In overdraft facility,
a customer is allowed to withdraw on his account in excess of the
balance that the borrowing customer has in credit. So, when a customer
withdraws in excess of his balance, an overdraft occurs (balance
becomes in debit). Overdraft facility can be availed for a certain
limit called OD limit and is used to meet the seasonal
requirements of cash.

Letter Of Credit

Letter of credit, whether sight or usance, is a non‐

fund based facility provided to the customers. L/C has already been
described elaborately in trade finance

section. Securities for Advances

No doubt, the advancing of credit involves a great risk for the
bank. Therefore, to cover this risk, the bank keeps different tangible
and non‐tangible securities, before sanctioning the credit facility to a
customer. The bankers prefer
such securities that carry less risk of depreciation due to market fluctuations an
d are easily saleable, even under changing market conditions.
Common securities against banker advances are as under:
32
Pledge
Pledge is the actual delivery of the movable & tangible property to the
lender, as a security for a credit. In a pledge, the possession of movable assets
is with bank but the ownership remains with the client. Pledge is
against short‐term finances and is considered to be the best security
for the bank. The commodities
that are pledged include generally, raw material, consumables, finished good and i
n Certain Cases Work In Process (WIP).

Trade Finance Department

Though I did not work in the trade finance department, but I had got the knowledge
about
the international trade and the banking procedures for the handling of internation
al trade finance.

Import Operations
Valid city markets have usual importance regarding import operation
and are
considered as business and commercial hub of imports in Lahore. MCB Bank Limited C
ircular Road Lahore for being situated in such an area has great (2nd
largest in BAL) volume of foreign trade, especially imports.
The process of imports starts with the establishment of letter of credit. Before g
oing into the details of this process. I have tried to described the
letter of credit (L/C) and its basic aspects.

Letter of Credit
International trade involves numerous factors such as payment for
imports in the exporter’s country; shipment of goods within the
limitations prescribed and difficulties of
enforcing legal rights in the foreign country etc. Therefore, to overcome these im
pediments
a system has been enforced, this system is represented by ‘Letter of Credit’.
The letter of credit is today the foremost way of financing
international trade. In
simple words, a letter of credit (L/C) can be defined as:
“A bank’s written undertaking given to the exporter for payment of a certain sum o
f
money on behalf of the importer provided the exporter tenders to the bank, or its
overseas agents, the specified document within a specified period in
accordance with the terms of the undertaking”.
There are four basic parties involved in an L/C: 1) 2) 3) 4)
Other parties involved in L/C procession will be discussed in subsequent sections.

Importer Issuing Bank Exporter (Beneficiary) Beneficiary’s Bank

 Export OPERATIONS During the two weeks in trade finance department,
I was much desirous to know
that how the export transactions are carried out through bank, along with the impo
rts. The
export transactions in BAL Circular Road were not of such extensive nature as impo
rts due
that specific area. So the processing of a normal export transaction has been disc
ussed. Conditions for Exporter:
Like an importer, there are certain conditions that a person must fulfill to becom
e an exporter. 1) The person must be an account holder of BAL. 2)
No one can export any commodity until and unless he/she is a Pakistani and has a
valid export registration with the EPB. 3) The person must process a valid
membership certificate of Trade Organization,
licensed and recognized by Federal Government like a Chamber of Commerce (e.g.
Lahore Chamber of Commerce). 4)
The person must possess a valid NTN (National Tax No.) certificate. 5)
A person cannot export any good unless he files a Form E (E stands for exports) wi
th
his application to the bank. The form E must be filled in writing and all specific
ations stipulated on the form, must be met. 6)
The person must have the Sales Tax Registration Certificate.
Technology Department
Technological advancements are also affecting the banking industry. The foreign ba
nks have
a competitive edge over all local banks in their technologies’ advancements and au
tomated
systems. Local banks have also realized the gravity oil this situation and are str
iving to add computerized systems to their branches.
MCB is ahead of all other local banks in this field and now it is in a position to
even
compete with foreign banks. There are more than 1045 branches of MCB all over Paki
stan
and out of these more than 300 branches are fully computerized Almost all the bran
ches of big cities are computerized; therefore, the need for a
technology department at each
branch is growing. Now a day, a computer division is working in each city to provi
de service to add the branches of that area.

MCB has also introduced the now concept of online banking. There are now more
than 250 branches linked through this system and they can transact with each other
directly

34
using computer systems at their own branches. Now customers do not have to wait lo
ng for
their transactions and can operate their account through all the online branches.

ATM Network:
ATM stands for Automatic Teller Machine. This machine is used to transact in one’s
account without intervention of humans. These machines are basically
used for taking cash,

eturn
for monthly rental payments. MCB will give a separate unilateral undertaking that
it will offer to sell the asset to the customer (lessee) at the
maturity of the Ijarah
agreement at a price that may be equal to the security deposit amount, hence the
term ‘Wa Iqtina’. • Types of Ijarah o Car Ijarah o Equipment Ijarah

Ratio Analysis
Ratio Analysis is an important and age‐old technique of financial
analysis. Ratios are important and helpful in the reference that:
These simplify the comprehension of financial statement and tell the whole story o
f changes in the financial conditions of the business. These provide data
for inter‐firm comparison. The ratios highlight the factors
associated with successful and unsuccessful firms, also reveal strong and weak fir
ms. These help in planning and forecasting, these can assist management
in its basic functions of forecasting, planning, coordination and control.
These help in investment decision in case of investor and lending decision in case
of Bankers etc. However, the ratios are only indicators, they cannot be
taken as final regarding good and
bad financial position of the business other things have also to be seen.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths • • • • • • •
MCB is the first Pakistani privatized bank and because of its quality management,
marketing,
innovation in products and services. Owing to all such factors they have establish
ed a good
reputation in the banking market. The name of MCB makes you recall the highly coop
erative
and professional individuals ready to serve you with maximum zeal and zest.
MCB have faster banking services that are making it more prominent in the banking
industry especially in operations and Foreign exchange. The customer
prefers this bank not only
because of its faster speedy service rather due to reasonable service charges.
MCB in Pakistan is the also in the list of highly automated banks like Emirates be
cause of its
modern style of banking through fully computerized control and twenty four hour ba
nking. The joining of experienced people, advanced management, advance
setup and facilities gave MCB an edge over its competitors. Weakness • • •
Staff is not sufficient Too much workload on one person Though innovation and
technological products have been introduce not fully
equipped with latest technology Innovative products New technology
High customer satisfaction Best possible customer facilities
Branches almost every where in Pakistan Fast and efficient system
Has the potential to provide better services.

The majority of people are not well aware about the products of MCB. Therefore it
should advertise extensively especially RTC and Master Cards.
57
A behavior has been noted that bank tries to feel at ease with good
looking, rich and
educated people and the poor looking customers feel some bit strange in the enviro
nment of the bank. The bank employees should try to accommodate
behaviorally all type of customers. In MCB there is lack of
specialized skill because of job rotation policy of human resource
department. The bank should concentrate upon increasing its abilities on individua
l service basis
Mismanagement of time is another big mistake in MCB branches, the bank official ti
me of
closing is 5:30pm but due mismanagement of time allocation and work the staff is n
ormally on their seats till 7:00 or 8:00 clock. Opportunities •
Can move far ahead from the competition because it has a lot of potential. •
If the branches are fully equipped with new technology. It can gain even more. •
Can become the leading exemplary bank of Pakistan.
As on December 31, 1998, sixty‐eight scheduled banks with 9,106 branches are opera
ting in Pakistan. As on this date, total population of Pakistan is
140.03 million. Total number of personal accounts with all scheduled
banks as on December 31,1997, are 28.98 million. If we consider the
population statistics of working age group as on December 31,1997, it
stands to the figure of 96.64 million. Thus we can say those 28% of working age pe
ople of Pakistan are having accounts with banks while 72% are unbanked. The
need of privatization has made people to switch to banks to satisfy
their needs of
lending and borrowing. This not only increases the deposits but also the credit bu
siness. Threats • Unstable economy • Local competitors •
Non availability of sufficient staff in branch
Change in government policies has affected the banking business. Still banks have
to wait to
get permission of state bank. The freezing of foreign currency accounts is a vital
example of letting people not to trust on banks.
The Competition has become severe by the entrants of so many banks, So to exis
t one will
have to prove himself in its services through excellent management and will have t
o satisfy its shareholders. Otherwise he will be out the market. The
decrease purchasing power of consumer in the current economic situation
of the
country affecting the business activity speed too much and the result is the low i
nvestment
from the investors in new projects can create problem for the bank because it is w
orking a lot in trade.

58
MCB’s Competitive Strategies
To be competitive the Bank has further reinforced its position in the
Consumer Banking arena by streamlining and re‐launching the consumer
financing products and introducing more convenience based solutions. With
the re‐launch of auto finance and house finance products, the Bank
pushed the products with full thrust. The Bank has also launched a
running finance facility against mortgage of property. Technology continued to
play an important role in improving and expanding product offerings.
The Bank introduced more IT based products to cater to the changing
lifestyles and needs of the customers. MCB Virtual‐
Internet Banking was launched with wide ranging
banking solutions for the customers ranging from individual to corporate customers
and it has become the most preferred Internet banking solution in the country.
MCB also had the privilege of being the first Bank in Pakistan to launch the compr
ehensive
bill payment facility through its alternate delivery channels which include Intern
et Banking, ATMs and MCB Call Centre, currently with six payment
partners. Similarly, the Bank also took initiatives to increase the
usage of debit facility. To provide timely and updated information, MCB
has also provided a new look to its website which is user friendly
and considerably easy to browse. The Islamic Banking initiative has been
very successful in attracting new customer, both individuals and
companies. Similarly, those relationships, which were confined only to
current account facility, have grown into stronger business
relationships. The branch network was expanded to Lahore and Multan
during the last year and recently been
extended to Hyderabad and Faisalabad. The Bank plans to further expand its Islamic
Banking branch network to other metropolitan areas and also to
introduce new sharia compliant
banking solutions to a wider range of customers for satisfying their individual an
d business needs. Some wide‐
ranging new strategic initiatives were also taken up which will be important for
the Bank in years to come. A private company has been formed in Hong Kong (fully o
wned subsidiary of MCB) in partnership with Standard Chartered Bank,
handling trade transactions of select countries in the Asia‐Pacific
region. It is projected to earn US$ 1
million in its first year of operations. To increase its international presence, t
he Bank will be opening its representative office in Dubai and entering
into major strategic alliances with
banks in the UAE/ especially for marketing our consumer banking products to non‐
resident
Pakistanis. Furthermore, feasibility is also being carried out for entering other
international markets.
MCB's operations continued to be streamlined with focus on rationalization of expe
nses, re‐ alignment of back‐end processing to increase productivity,
enhancement of customer service standards, process efficiency and
controls. The Bank has taken the lead in
introducing the innovative concept of centralizing Trade Services in the country b
y providing
centralized foreign trade services to branches with a view to improve efficiency,
expertise and reduce delivery cost.
59
Management of Human Resources has been one of our core focus areas. MCB is committ
ed towards attracting, retaining and motivating outstanding people.
Challenge for MCB is to provide an environment in which employees can
better realize their potential. The Bank introduced 'reward for
performance' where high potential officers were identified and rewarded
accordingly. In view of the competitive environment, the Bank is
focusing on
performance and introducing a more robust performance management system. MCB is al
so strongly committed to training its staff at all levels.
The Bank will also be implementing the full suite of the latest version of SYMBOLS
Version 8. MCB Bank will run SYMBOLS eFinance modules to deliver
personalized services to its customers over multiple delivery channels,
while SYMBOLS Enterprise Operations Center will serve as its core
banking transaction‐processing engine. By implementing SYMBOLS, MCB Bank
aims to raise the level of its customer service and its time to
market in new product offerings for its three core banking businesses
in Corporate, Commercial and
Consumer Banking ‐ retaining its market leadership as Pakistan's progressive Bank.

 WORK DONE BY ME

WORK DONE BY ME
In the MCB Bank Limited I really enjoyed working with the staff of Dijkot Road and
having a
wish to be the employee of MCB. It was almost impossible to work in all the depart
ments within that limited time. But on my request, the staff of the
branch provided me the
opportunity to work in the different departments for the sake of practical knowled
ge. I feel highly indebted to work in there. During my internship training
in the MCB as I early mentioned that I have worked in
different departments & seats and learnt followings. UTILITY BILLS COLLECTION
MCB Bank Limited collects utility bills on behalf of WAPDA, Sui Gas Companies, and
Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation Limited by putting the stamp on
the utility bills “Paid”,
Date of payment, Signature of the officer receiving the utility bills. After recei
ving utility bills
a list is made on the form, which is called Bills scroll form. One copy of the scr
oll is with the bank for evidence whereas the original copy with the
receipt of bills is sent to the billing
department of the respective corporation. The bank charge commission on the bills.
OPENING NEW ACCOUNT BASICS
During the span of my internship in MCB I learned and observed a lot of about the
opening of an account. Basically I think that the opening of an
account is the establishment of a
contractual relationship between the banker and the customer. By opening an accoun
t at a bank, a person becomes a ‘customer’ of a bank. Further I am
going to express the basic
requirements and steps involved in the opening of an account.

RECOMMENDATIONS

69
RECOMMENDATIONS
From the Quantum of the profit and its financial data it can be
easily judged that
after privatization, MCB BANK is performing well. Its deposits are growing day by
day and so its profitability. The controlling body is responsible for
the productive performance of the Bank.
I spent 8 weeks of my internship in MCB Dijkot Road. During these six weeks, I fe
lt myself to
be a part of MCB. Even, this was my first experience of working in a banking organ
ization,
but I learned a lot from this experience. Based on my experience & observation reg
arding
the operations and policies of MCB Bank, I have tried to stipulate some recommenda
tions for further improvement.

Enhanced Computer Network

The bank should emphasize much on computer technology. Like other banks, MCB
should enhance its on‐line services. Bank, also should concentrate on E‐banking an
d use of
ATM. Moreover, bank should also emphasize on enhancing its website information.

Training Facilities And Seminars

Human resource constitutes the most valuable asset for an organization. To improve
the professional skills and quality, MCB has started six‐months
comprehensive training
program that is really a commendable step taken by MCB. Bank, apart from this prog
ram,
conduct some training programs for existing employees to improve their proficiency
. Also, MCB Bank should arrange some seminars to make its visions
and objectives, clear to every one. Equal Status Of Branches One major &
alarming drawback that I observed in Dijkot Road, is the inferiority
complex faced by some employees. MCB Dijkot Road, for being situated
in business and commercial hub, has its unusual importance. But I
observed some employees to be the
victim of complex. So, to avoid such discrepancies, seminars should conduct to sig
nify the importance of each branch.

70
CONCLUSION

It is evident from this report and the financial statements of MCB

that it is making
progress by leaps and bounds. The profits of MCB have grown considerably during th
e last few years and this trend is expected to continue into the
future. Therefore we conclude that MCB has a very prosperous present
and future, which assures the
shareholders of wealth maximization. Side by side of it I think that if bank would
be able to cover and control on the above mentioned recommendations
then it would be in
such a situation that will really lead it towards the road of prosperity, developm
ent and integrity. And with the above mentioned sentences I think there
is too fault of the
customers and in order t\o make the proper working of the bank the customers shoul
d also cooperate with the bank which will be really a good, ambitious
and diligent
condition for the bank. And then bank will be really in such a situation and posit
ion to
compete its competitors in the country as well as on international level.
