statement.

4. Focused business strategy
5. Strong credit rating
6. Large (over 5 million accounts)
7. A full service bank

SWOT Analysis
STRENGTHS:
Bank Alfalah Islamic Banking division is financially very strong bank.
Following are some of the strengths of the Bank.
Alfalah bank is applying the TQM in each of its branch, which is the
great achievement. No other bank has this department
Bank Alfalah Islamic is financially strong and has a huge deposit
reserve.
WEAKNESSES:
Lack of branch network as compared to other Islamic banks in Pakistan
More job rotation
It is a step behind in using new technology (MIS) as compared to other
banks.
Most of the employees are overloaded with work
slow in the introduction of new services as compare to other Islamic
banks in Pakistan i.e. free internet services.

SWOT Analysis
OPPORTUNITIES:
Bank can extend its network in other cities of Pakistan.
profitability can be increased by making use of new technology (MIS)
Ability to introduce new products and services because of the huge capital reserve
It can adopt E-banking and provide credit card facility to its customers.
Good financial position creating a good reputation for future advances and huge
deposits
THREATS:
In certain era of Pakistan people emphasizes more on Islamic mode of banking.
Bank is facing intense competition from other Islamic Banks working in Pakistan
Bank is performing very well in the presence of unstable political and economic
situation but this uncertainty is a continuous threat for the bank

SWOT analysis shows that Bank Alfalahs strengths are more than its weakness
and it has a chance of availing many opportunities.
