Pakistan now banks have been expanding rapidly and are achieving the desired goal of
organization.
DEFINITION OF BANK
The term bank is being used for a long time, yet it has no precise definition. The basic
reason is that the bank perform not just one but many types of functions. Originally the
banks were supported to make shot term loans to the traders only. The banks not only
extend short-term loans to the farmers, traders, industrialists etc. but also invest in a vide
variety of long term earning assets.

deposit of money from the public repayable on demand or otherwise withdraw able by
cheques, drafts, orders, and otherwise"

IMPORTANCE OF BANKS
The book keeping details of banks and loans are rarely exciting and often confusing but
they of demonstrate convincingly that banks can create money. This implies that banks
must have some direct influence on economic activity because all of our market
transactions involve the use of money. Now, the question arises how can the bank help in
creating money. This can be easily explained with the help of the core concept of basic
money supply. Money supply is equal to the cash prevailing in the economy and the sum
of checking accounts and traveler cheque etc. We know that banks have a required
reservation applicable in their advancing of money. By the concept of advancing money
up till the level of required reserves, banks can more advances than their deposits. In this
way they increase the money supply.
Banks also have the economy in the sense that they can regulate the circular flow of
income when depositors deposit their excessive money in the banks, the banks again put
this money into the flow of economy by giving advances. According to economists, the
primary function of banks is not to store money but to transfer money from savers to
spenders. The banks do so by lending money to businesses for new plants and
equipments, the customers for new homes or cars at government entities that desire
greater purchasing powers.
The importance of banks also becomes more clear when they are used as a medium of low
risk transactions of money. With the help of banking system, you can transfer your
money by sitting in Multan to a person in New York. All the commercial banks functions
that have been discussed previously add to the reporters of the banks in general and
commercial banks in specific.

PRESIDENT MESSAGE
It gives me great pleasure to announce that National Bank of Pakistan is gearing up to the
challenges faced by the domestic banking industry due to innovations and advances in the
international banking world, which is the consequence of globalization.
The bank wishes to effectively utilize the financial assistance being extended by the
Government of Pakistan for banking sector reforms aimed at reducing operating costs and
improving profitability.
National Bank of Pakistan is distinct from other banks in that it has a nonprofit and
service oriented motive, which has manifested itself in the area of salary deposits of
government employees and payment of utility bills. The bank renders both of these
services across the country reaching as far as the remotest regions; from our northern
borders to the Arabian Sea. These services do not contribute towards the earnings of the
bank; rather they put pressure on our resources. Nevertheless, we are committed to
serving small savers and the general public of the country. National Bank is everyone’s
and does not only serve corporate customers. By extending and targeting our research to
improve bank earnings, through customer focus of our commercial and corporate
branches, and by enhanced efforts towards the development of human capital, we shall
very soon transform the bank from a bureaucratic organization to a fast paced, modern,
and competitive bank.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that we have the vision, which will enable us to achieve
even better results, safeguard the interest of our customers and to assist us in our march
towards progress and prosperity in future.

41
NBP CASH CARD
The user of ATM must follow these guidelines for your safety as you enjoy the
convenience of technology. However these guidelines are general; therefore, specific
precautions may be taken as warranted by the situation and technology.
Choosing PIN
1) Do not use a number or numbers that can obviously be associated with you -for
instance your telephone number, birthday, your street number, driving license
number or popular number sequences (such as 786 or 2005 or 1111).
2) Ideally choose a random combination of numbers – this is the hardest for a
criminal to guess. If this is difficult for you to remember then perhaps use a
combination of double numbers e.g.99 along with two thers that have some meaning
for you.
3) Change PIN number at frequent intervals.
Keeping Your PIN a Secret
1) Do not allow anyone else to use your card, PIN or other security information.
2) Always memorize your PIN and other security information. If the PIN you are
provided with is difficult to remember, change it to something more memorable at a
cash machine as soon as possible.
3) Always take reasonable steps to keep your card safe and your PIN secret at all
times. Neither your bank nor any agency is authorized to ask you to disclose your
PIN.
4) Never write down or record your PIN or other security information on card or at a
place easily accessible by others.
Precautions While Using ATMs (Automated Teller Machines)
Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) provide a fast and convenient banking
alternative for account holders. You can bank when you want and where ever you
want because locations are so convenient. In order to mitigate risks of theft & frauds
we're providing these ATM safety tips to help protect you and your account.
Remember, ATM theft can occur in two ways;
a) Unauthorized withdrawals from an account or
42
b) The physical theft of cash as a person completes a transaction.
The following advice for cardholders using cash machines will help minimize the
chances of becoming a victim of such incidences.
Choosing an ATM
1) Always observe your surroundings before conducting an ATM transaction. If you
see anyone or anything that appears to be suspicious, cancel your transaction and
leave the area at once. If there is anything unusual about the cash machine, or there
are signs of tampering, do not use the machine and report it to the bank immediately.
2) After dark, only use ATMs that are well-lighted.
3) If possible, choose a machine in a busy area. A heavily trafficked location means
additional security.
4) If you are followed after using an ATM, seek a place where people, activity and
security can be found.
Using an ATM
1) Use your body to block the view of your transaction. Especially as you enter your
PIN and take your cash. If necessary, ask a person to leave, even if that person is just
curious. If the ATM is in use, give the person using the machine the same privacy
you expect. Allow them to move away from the ATM before you approach the
machine.
2) Do not accept help from strangers and never allow yourself to be distracted.
3) A number of banks have established call centers to provide customer support.
Inform them in case you have any problem and obtain a complaint number.
4) While paying the utility bills on ATM check the transactions details with the billed
amount, customer ID on original bill. Keep the transaction slip safe so that it can be
referred to if the paid amount appears as arrears in next billing cycle.
5) Focus your attention on ATM screen and take due care in the selection of buttons
(touch the parallel area in case the screen is sensor one) to ensure the execution of
desired transaction / funds transfer. Before pressing / touching the keyboard button
enter the required information cautiously. If you pressed / touched wrong button then
transaction reversal is not possible.
Leaving an ATM
1) After completing transaction, remember to take your card back.
2) Once you have completed a transaction, discreetly put your money and card in
your pocket before leaving the cash machine. Do not count cash at ATM machine.
43
3) If the cash machine does not return your card, report its loss immediately to your
bank.
4) Don't discard your receipts and mini-statements or balance inquiry slips which
contain important information. You get a receipt every time you make an ATM
transaction.
HAJJ SCHEME
The National Bank of Pakistan has introduces Hajj Scheme. This is done every year for
the purpose to provide the people the facility. Under this scheme the people from all over
the country submit their applications in National Bank of Pakistan. The successful
candidates are informed, while the applications of unsuccessful persons are refunded
back to them.
44
SECURITIES AGAINST LOANS
There are following important methods to charge loans;
Pledge
Mortgage
Guarantee
Hypothecation
PLEDGE
Pledge is very important method to charge the Scan. Pledge is an actual delivery of the
chattels (movable properties) as security for the loan to the bank,. Transferring the goods
from the owner’s godown to banker’s godowns may make the delivery of goods or
handing over the keys of the godown or posting a hank. Chowkidar or delivering the
documents of title relating goods to the bank. A pledge as a bailment of goods as security
for the payment of debt or performance of promise. Ownership of the property remains
with the pledger (borrower). The main advantages claimed by the bank for advancing
against goods are as under;
Tangible Security
The banks can safely lend against goods to the customers as they have some thing
tangible in their possession to dispose of, in cause of debtor refuse to pay or
unnecessarily delay the payments.
45
Seasonal Advances
Another important advantage claimed for advancing against produced goods is that the
loan is normally seasonal and therefore for a short period. The banker is not to lock up its
funds for along period of time as is in case of advances against immovable property.
MORTGAGE
The mortgage is a kind of written contract between the borrower called mortgager and
lender called mortgagee. The mortgager gives an assurance to the creditor for the legal or
equitable interest in property as security for the discharge of debt, subject to the provision
that on repayment of the debt, the property shall be reverted to the borrower.
Kinds of Mortgage
There are many types of mortgages
Simple mortgage;
In simple mortgage, the mortgager (borrower) keeps the possession of the property
offered as security. The mortgager is personally responsible for the discharge of debt. In
case the mortgager defaults to repay the money, the mortgagee (creditor) has the right to
obtain decree for the sale of mortgaged property to recover the Scan.
46
MDTD is also called an equitable mortgage. In this mortgage, the mortgager deposits the
title deeds of the property with the mortgagee as security. Equitable mortgage is
considered a weaker mortgage from the point of view of banker (mortgage).
GUARANTEE
A guarantee is an undertaking given by a person to be answerable for the debt, default or
miscarriage of another person. Contract to perform the promise are discharge the liability
of a third person in case of default. Guarantee as security for the banker’s advances arises
only when the borrower is not able to satisfy the banker of his creditworthiness. The
banker will not ask for guarantee if acceptable collateral securities are provided to him.
Characteristics
The main characteristics of the guarantee are as under;
a). Three Parties
There must be three parties in the guarantee
Principal Debtors
Principal Creditors
Guarantor
b). Principal Debtor
The primary liability to pay the debts falls on the original debtor. The guarantor will pay
only when the principal fails to whole or pan of the agreed debt.
c). No Interest Of the Guarantor in Contract
The guarantor is answerable for the loan if the debtor defaults and has no interest in
contract between the Principal creditor and the principal debtor.
Card B
Cash
47
HYPOTHECATION
Legal transactions whereby goods may be made available as security for a debt without
transferring property or the possession to the lender. The advance of loans against goods
without taking their possessions is very risky on two main grounds. One, as the goods are
in the possession of the owner, the borrower may take out the goods without informing
the bank. Secondly, the bank does not has a legal claim as it does not have a valid charge
over the goods
In case of hypothecated goods, the bank has the right to inspect the
goodown. It can also demand periodic report of the stock.
The hypothecated goods are to be insured by the borrower, in case these are not
insured, the bank has the right to get them insured and recover the insurance charges from
borrower.
The bank has the right to ask the borrower to maintain a balance of goods, which in
value is not less than the amount advanced to it.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
NBP one of the largest financial institutions of Pakistan with approximately ten
million of customer base NBP holds high share of time and demand deposits in the
country. Local currency deposits comprise about 70% of bank's total deposits while
foreign currency deposits account for the rest.
NBP has an extensive domestic branch network of 1226 (according to the latest data)
branches located all over Pakistan. The Bank also has a presence in 16 international
locations including the USA, United Kingdom, Europe and the Far East.
NBP cash provision as percentage of non performing loans equal to 60% this
coverage factor for the non performing loans is the highest amongst the nationalized
commercial bank.
NBP is working as right arm government of Pakistan as it is responsible for all claims
of government for recovery as well as payment. All depositor of NBP are in relief that
their money security is guaranteed by government of Pakistan. So, being a
government bank it is more reliable for the customers.
It acts as an agent of the Central Bank wherever the State Bank does not have its own
Branch.
WEAKNESSES
The National Bank of Pakistan has not competent staff at branch level, so this
drawback leads to serious consequences.
NBP staff especially at lower considers their work as burden. They usually waste time
in other task a part in performing their duty. Using government property for there
own need. They are reluctant to accept change brought by latest restructuring efforts.
69
The general out look and interior layout of branches are not as required according to
modern banking
NBP bearing up large burden in running those branches, which are not producing any
income but keep on adding expenditure.
NBP is relying on its traditional sources of income it has not taken benefit from
innovation in banking like introducing retail banking or consumer banking and using
any type of scheme to generate more deposits and producing more advances. Further,
more don’t even continue its credit card due mismanagement and lack of control.
NBP is far behind in offering modern banking facility like automated teller machines
then other commercial bank in Pakistan as only eighteen branches in all over country
have this facility.
NBP has only forty-four on line branches. While from remaining branches data
gathering is time consuming, and not fool proof. Quantum of settlement within
different branches is pending because of this updating daily record is becoming very
difficult.
Customers have to fallow long lengthy procedure for opening of account as well
applying for debt. Which discourage most of the people to invest in NBP.
In NBP, most of the time merit not has importance in hiring of employees. Such
practices are black spot on the face of bank and resulted big losses and fraudulent acts
by NBP own employees.
As National Bank of Pakistan is the government bank, more people are attracted but
the staff becomes unable to satisfy each and every person. In this way customers feel
inconvenient.
The environment of the bank is not so good, the employees of the bank feel boredom
and it will not be easy for them to work in better way.
70
OPPORTUNITIES
Reorganizing efforts going on in the NBP has open many opportunities for NBP to grow.
NBP current management has boarder vision. They have taken steps to improve customer
services, streamline internal procedure and creating a delectating climate for technology
initiative.
To achieve above mention objective they have created operation group
New highly qualified and skilled personals are to be hired through proper recruitment
channel.
Management Information system can be improved by using high quality and high-
speed processors for this purpose.
Starting of the retail banking initial working.
Setting of target for of making at least 300 branches country wide on line.
Closing of all those branches, which are burden on NBP.
Management to offer specialized services to major corporate including advisory and
debt syndication introduces the concept of relationship manager.
Comprehensive training programs has been develop to up grade the core banking
skills of the existing staff as well as integrate high quality hiring.
To improve the motivation of staff a merit-based culture is being promoted. Through
overhauling the manpower recruitment preservation and performance appraisal
system.
These actions taken by current management provide a great opportunity for NBP for
making it future prosper and can make NBP not less than any modern commercialize
bank in Pakistan.
71
THREATS
Following are the major threats which national bank of Pakistan is facing:
Major threats NBP facing is from its competitor especially from denationalized
commercial bank. In which MCB is on the top of the list, The Bank provides 24 hour
banking convenience with the largest ATM network in Pakistan covering 15 cities
with over 100 ATM locations.
Retail banking and consumer banking resulting in the products such as credit cards,
housing finance and automobile finance lending to small individual consumers, and
purchases of automobiles, housing, and consumer goods are generally made on a cash
basis. These are causing another threat, if not counter will result in significance loss
of customers
Recently banks and other financial institutions have introduced innovative schemes to
attract deposits, like gift cheque scheme by MCB. These schemes offer prizes on
short and long term fixed deposits, through lucky draws.
Now banks are using technology which covers the distance no matter how far away
any one, through a satellite based, on-line real-time banking system and by offering
telephone banking, electronic funds transfer, E-Banking and other modern facilities.
72
SUGGESTIONS
Customers are main things to be considered, the bank should be aware about its
customers needs and should give much more attention on their problems to satisfy
them.
NBP major fault is that wasn’t keep its pace with on going changing in banking
industry unlike other bank. Now this bank combining all it power and trying to
approach other banks.
Latest reorganizing efforts are necessary to make it cost effective also making its
facility accordingly to modern banking. These must continue.
Bank management has to put its all effort to change the prevailing culture of the bank
and to put the foundation stone of business oriented culture. In which employees give
important to the bank and its customer.
To save the time of the customers and other clients, bank should adopt computerized
system for book keeping and other filling systems. It will increase the efficiency of
the bank. I know that there are some branches, which are computerized, but most of
the branches in various cities of the country are not computerized. So the bank should
mechanize all its branches in the country.
To attract the customer in the future NBP have to make extensive effort to give
facilities of retail and consumer banking. Plus the technologies in the banking, which
will be necessary for future banking is another week area, need to be stressed.
The outlook and interior lay out of the branches is another thing, which needs to be
improved.
The procedure of taking services from the bank must be made easier and straight
forward not involving long difficult procedure for simple task.
73
The billing system of national bank of Pakistan must be improved to facilitate the
customers and workers. The work should be divided among the staff e.g. collection of
bills, countering of cash and then entry of these.
Bank should adopt such an induction plan that when a customer opens his account
with the bank, he should be supplied with a booklet which enables him to know the
procedure of filling the cheques and pay-in-slip etc. It will save a lot of time of the
bank staff afterward during of the conduct of the account of that customer.
Bank should launch advertising campaigns through out the year to promote the habits
of savings in the people. Bank should open more branches in the remote areas of the
country to get deposits and idle resources. Bank should provide similar facilities to all
its branches in big cities. The standard of service and other facilities are far better as
compared to smaller cities.
To remain in the market bank need to be vigilant in the eyes of customer. One way is
through promotion efforts, so that people aware about he services of the banking and any
addition which the bank as made in the portfolio of its services.
