OVERVIEW OF BANKING
History of Banking

Bank is a pipeline through which currency moves into and out of circulation. Bank accepts deposits and repays cash to its customers on their demand. The Bank borrows money at a lesser rate of interest and lends it to the borrowers at a higher rate. It is thus a profit-lending concern. Bank cannot lend all the money that has been deposited with it. It has to keep a certain portion of the total deposits in cash with them in order to meet the cash requirements of the individuals and business concern.

Banking History
Word Bank is said to be derived from the words Bancus or Banquewhich means bench Other authorities hold the opinion that the word bank is derived from the German word Back which means joint stock fund. The history of banking is traced to as early as 2000 BC. The priests in Greece used to keep money and valuables of the people in temples. These priests thus acted as financial agents. The origin of banking is also traced to early goldsmiths. They used to keep strong safes for storing the money and valuables of the people. The persons who had surplus money found it safe and convenient to 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 receipts for the money deposited with them. These receipts began to pass from 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 drawn in such a way that it entitles any holder to claim the specified amount of money from goldsmiths. A depositor who is to make the payments may now get the money in cash from goldsmiths or pay over the receipt to the creditor. These receipts were the earlier bank notes. The SECOND STAGE in development of banking thus was the issue of bank notes. The goldsmiths soon discovered that all the people who had deposited money

Introduction To Banking

with them did not come to withdraw their funds in cash. They found that only a few persons presented the receipt for encashment during a given period of time. They also found that most of the money deposited with was lying idle. At the same time, they found that they were being constantly requested for loan on good security. They thought it profitable to lend at least some of the money deposited with them too the needy persons. This proved quite a profitable business for the goldsmiths. They instead of charging interest from the depositors began to give them interest on the money deposited with them. This was the THIRD STAGE, in the development of banking. By experience the banks came to know that they could keep a small proportion of the total deposits for meeting the demands of customers for cash and the rest they could easily lend. They allowed the depositors to draw over and above the money actually standing to their credit. In Economics terminology we can say that they allowed the overdraft facilities to their depositors. This was the FOURTH STAGE, in development of banking. When every bank issues receipts and most of them allowed the overdraft facilities, there was then too much confusion in the banking system. The banks in order to earn profits could not keep adequate reserves for meeting the demands of the customers for cash. The failures on the part of the bankers to return money caused widespread distress among the peoples. In order to create confidence among the people, steps were taken to regulate the banking organization. A conference was held in Nuremberg in 1548. It was decided that a bank should be set up by the state, which should streamline the banking organization and technique. The first central bank was formed in Geneva in 1578. Bank of England was established in 1694. The responsibility of issuing of notes is now entrusted to a central bank of each country.

COMMERCIAL BANKING IN PAKISTAN:


At the time of partition total number of Banks were 38 only. Out of these Banks the Pakistani Banks were only 2 , Indian Banks 29 & Exchange Banks were 7. The total of deposits of Pakistani Banks was Rs.880 Million. & advances were Rs: 198 Million.. According to banking companies ordinance Banks are the companies, which 4 Internship Report

transacts the business of Banking in Pakistan. Commercial Banks have constituted the most important [part of the intuitional credit in the economy of Pakistan. Being the largest source of credits, Banking Industry is a pivot of whole the economic activities in Pakistan. Section 37(2A) of State Bank of Pakistan Act 1965 lays down that the Banks must have paid-up capital & reserve of not less then Rs: 5 Lac & fulfilling certain other requirements for declaring as Scheduled Bank. At the time of independence Bank services was badly affected. But with the passage of time these are improving. The government of Pakistan nationalized all Banks in early 1974. This act was done to minimize control of few hands over banking. But this step was proved e futile for the Banking in Pakistan. So the Govt. had to revise its decision in1990. Two Banks (Allied Bank Of Pakistan Limited & Muslim commercial Bank Of Pakistan Limited have been denationalized. Since then Banks were working well. Now slogan of the Banks is to serve their customers in the best possible manner. Professor Berton: Banks are the guardian & distributor of money . Similarly we can say that it is a pipeline thorough which currency moves into & outside the circle. Banks accept deposited of money and repay it on demand. Bank borrows money at lesser rate of interest & lends it at higher rate of interest. In this way Banks earn money. Bank do not lend all money they collect, they keep certain portion of it as reserve to meet the uncertain demand of the customer.

FUNCTIONS OF A COMMERCIAL BANK


In general terms the functions of a commercial bank can be classified under the following main heads.

1. ACCEPTING DEPOSITS
Some people have an excess money and they want to deposits it to some honest man or an institution which can give them some profit. So the first function of commercial bank is to receive deposit there are three types of deposits. i. Demand Deposits or Current Deposits Some people deposit their excess money in the current accounts and they can withdraw their money deposited in this account at any time during the banking hours, so bank is not ready to give interest on it. ii. Fixed Deposits These deposits are fixed for a particular period. Commercial banks also pay an interest on these accounts. An important thing related to it is the varying interest rates for the different period deposits. Interest rate increases with the increase in the fixed deposit period. iii. Saving Deposits To create the habit of savings, bank accepts the saving deposits and pays an interest on these deposits. And this rate of interest is greater than the demand deposits.

2. ADVANCING LOANS
Bank also advances the loans to the merchants and charges the interest. It is the major source of its income. It also issues the loan for short term, medium term and for long term. And bank receives the higher interest from the borrower for the long term loans offered.

3. DISCOUNTING OF BILL
Commercial banks also discount the bills and facilitate the business; for example one businessman purchases anything from another person and promises to pay after one month. The seller will write a bill to the buyer and there will be an order that after one 6 Internship Report

month the buyer will pay the amount to the seller. Buyer will sign on the bill. In other words buyer will accept the responsibility of that amount. If seller is in need of money, he will take it to the bank and will receive the money by discounting the bills. The commercial bank also may rediscount it from the central bank.

4. CHEAP MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE


By issuing cheques and drafts bank provides cheap, medium of exchange.

5. TRANSFER OF MONEY
The commercial bank is very helpful in transferring the money from one place to another by issuing the drafts. This is very popular concept in the modern world and widely used in the business community.

6. CUSTODIAN OF PRECIOUS ARTICLES


Banks also provide lockers for the safety of precious articles. So now everyone can secure his precious metals like gold, silver, etc., and bank charges a very nominal charge for this facility.

7. AGENCY SERVICES
Commercial Banks also perform the duty of an agent. It collects and pays on the behalf of the customers.

8. INVESTMENT
On behalf of the customers all the banks also make an investment in different companies and industries. And banks receive nominal charge from the customers.

9. CREATION OF CREDIT
It also creates and extends the volume of credit.

10. FACILITATING TRADE ACTIVITIES


It also provides the finance to the foreign trade. Letter of credits are issued by the commercial banks for the foreign payments.

11. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SECURITIES


The commercial bank purchases and sells the securities, for itself and sometimes on the behalf of the costumes.

12. ACTING AS A TRUSTEE


If a client directs his bank to act as a trustee in the administration of a business, the 7 Internship Report

bank performs this responsibility.

13. HOME SAVING ACCOUNT


This type of account offers the facility to the account holder to save money right home and put in the locker provided by bank. The key of the locker remains with the bank that sends its officer every week to collect the amount from the locker. Now this facility is no longer in practice. PLASTIC MONEY The plastic cards that can be utilized as money are called the plastic money. For instance, a. Debit Card b. Credit Card c. Charge Card a. Debit Card In this card facility the account holder can only utilize his own amount kept in his deposit. ATM (Auto Teller Machine) card is the example of debit card. b. Credit Card In this case the customer has not much amount in his or her account but the Bank gives him facility to over draft (OD) up to the maximum limit of 5 lacs depending on bankcustomer relationship and the market value of that person. The banks are sole agent of American Express. Credit Card is the loan facility which is given on only personal guarantee. If a customer is a salaried person then the bank issue credit card facility up to three times of his or her salary. Suppose a persons salary is of Rs. 23,000/-. Then the bank will give him credit card of Rs. 75,000/-. But each bank has different criteria in issuing any facility. Annual charges are charged on this facility. And charges are on the basis of limit of credit card. More the limit of credit card, more would be the charges on it. If the customer repays the over drafted amount to the bank within a month then the bank does not charge the mark-up on it except of annual charges. Other wise the bank will charge the mark-up on daily basis but annual charges are also have to pay. This is a Clean Loan or Clean Facility (a loan without any tangible security). Because here only personal guarantee is involved. 8 Internship Report

c. Charge Card it is same to the credit card. But the only difference is that the charge card is not a Clean Facility. Because the bank gets the property under lien or mortgage against this credit facility. NOTE All these three cards are used in that hotels, shopping malls and transport offices where there is the facility of Merchant Arrangements. Merchant Arrangements means the shops to which the bank has online contact. Different banks have the different Merchant Arrangements. The shop keeper enters the password into the machine and get the account information of the card holder and debit the amount in card holder account and credit it in the shops account. MOBILE BANKING In mobile banking the customers can do all the transactions sitting in their homes by using internet. In this type of banking first of all you have to open the website of the bank in which you have the account. Then you have to give a password to enter in the data base of the bank.

Azad Kashmir was serrated from NWFP and made separate region. The quantum of work immensely increased due to the growth of economic activities and phase of industrialization and other change in Punjab and Sind. It was also considered necessary to improve the quality of advances and to expedite the recovery process of the loans and advances. Beside above the economic condition of the country also changed due to privatization policy, establishment of a number of new private banks as well as expansion for operations by the foreign trade and banks in major cities. 14 Internship Report

1-Treasury
The main purpose of the treasury department. Of any company is to maintain the liquidity for that company. Same is the case with Banking Industry as well. The treasury department have to manage the buffer stock (in terms of cash) of the bank and they have to maintain the liquidity for giving Advances to their customers. Suppose a company X want to get the loan from UBL. But the UBL has not that much amount. So it is the responsibility of the treasury department to manage the fund from money market (private financial institutions like Khanani & Kalia). The narrowest bid/ask spreads and the fastest quotes Dynamic risk-reducing hedging strategies for its customers The best relationships with institutional, corporate and retail 25 Internship Report

clients Year 2003 was a highly lucrative year for the bank with net profits in excess of PKR 4 billion. Treasury and Capital Markets (TCM) contributed to over 65% of UBL's total returns. This was due to Government Bond Trading, Equity Trading, Structured Products/Financial Engineering, Corporate Debt Trading, and Double-Count of revenues. Under the new management, the TCM expedited the launch of Pakistan's first derivative money market product-the FRA (forward rate agreement) with Quetta Textile Mills Ltd. in August 2003, and has further closed several similar transactions thereafter. UBL TCM is a market maker in both the domestic money market as well as the foreign exchange market. Being one of 11 primary dealers (PD), UBL has one of the largest balance sheets amongst banks in Pakistan, and hence our Foreign Exchange Exposure Limit (FEEL), as imposed by the State Bank of Pakistan,. is the highest in the industry. Equities is responsible for managing the bank's trading and badla portfolio, and to eventually develop a global equity trading activity for UBL. Structured Products is responsible for developing and packaging plain vanilla derivatives as well as more exotic customer specific products, and pipeline products. The Strategic Planning and Balance Sheet Management responsibilities include: Liquidity Management for the domestic balance sheet - This unit is the focal point for all branch-related liquidity issues and will also be responsible for day-to-day management of liquidity for UBL. Overseas Branches Treasury and Capital Markets - they plan to integrate the treasury activities for all overseas branches, to develop synergies amongst their various treasuries.

2-Corporate Banking
The main objective of the Corporate Banking is to look after the special customers who gives very much big amount of deposits or take higher amounts of Advances. Because a Hub Branch can give the Advances up to Rs. 200 Million. And the party who needs a loan more than Rs. 200 M they have to contact to the Corporate Branch of the UBL. So the cases of Advances more than Rs. 200 M goes into the Corporate Branches. Let us take the example of the Hub Branch of UBL, Hussain Agahi Multan and Corporate Branch of UBL cantt. There are 175 to 200 cases of Advances in the Hub Branch. But in the Corporate Branch there are hardly 15 to 20 cases of Advances due to so much high amount of Advances. And these types of customers are called corporate customers. Because they have 26 Internship Report

taken very much big amount of the Advances it means their business operations and turnover is more frequent. And as a result drawing and repayment of the loan or from their own account is also more frequent. So these types of customers need special care and services as well. But mind one thing that the documentation in case of Advances and Deposits is same in Corporate Branches as well as in Hub Branches is same. The cases of Advances also approve Credit Administration Deptt. (CAD) of the Regional Head Quarter (RHQ).

MISSION OF CORPORATE BANKING


Our mission is to serve all your corporate needs and ensure your full satisfaction through product innovation, personalized banking, and top notch service. The (Corporate Banking Group) CBG focuses on attracting and servicing large portfolio customers.

DISCOUNTING OF BILL
Commercial banks also discount the bills and facilitate the business; for example one businessman purchases anything from another person and promises to pay after one month. The seller will write a bill to the buyer and there will be an order that after one month the buyer will pay the amount to the seller. Buyer will sign on the bill. In other words buyer will accept the responsibility of that amount. If seller is in need of money, he will take it to the bank and will receive the money by discounting the bills. The commercial bank also may rediscount it from the central bank.

DEPOSIT DEPARTMENT
Deposits act as a backbone of bank. It is the lifeblood of every bank. These deposits are source of generating incomes for the bank and for the general public to meet the financial needs. The supply of money in circulation is also affected by the amount of loans and advances issued by the bank. The primary economic function of the commercial bank is to receive the surplus saving money from the general public, individuals, firm, institutions, public houses and companies and to pay the cheques drawn upon the bank. The bank accepts the deposits at a low rate of interest and lends it at higher rate of interest, the difference between the lending and accepting rate is the Source of income for the bank. Keeping in view the above factors UBL offers the following types of deposits: 1) 2) 3) Current Deposit Saving Deposit Fixed Deposit

The classification of the deposits in to current, saving and fixed accounts is mainly on the basis of duration and purpose for which the account is maintained at a bank

CURRENT DEPOSIT
Current deposit is running deposit because, customer can withdraw deposited amount at any time, whenever he feels need. The customer can withdraw without any prior notice to the bank. The bank has to pay the cheque provided within the limits of the account balance. The main thing is that bank does not pay any kind of interest on current account. Actually this deposit is for the business purpose. The bank cannot invest the deposited amount under current account heading, because of the fear of withdrawal. Bank has to keep with it a higher reserve ratio to meet the needs of the current account holders.

SAVING DEPOSIT
Saving Account is an important source of funds for the bank. The purpose of this account is to attract the small saving of the general public. Normally workers, schoolboys and employees of the organizations use the saving account facility. UBL also provides this facility to the general public against a certain rate of interest. The new name of this account is now a day is PLS-Saving Account. If a customer wants to withdraw a large sum of money (above 15000), he will have to give a notice of 7 to 14 days in writing to the bank. Saving account deposits provide a chance to the bank to invest safely, because customer 42 Internship Report

can withdraw small amount of balance.

FIXED OR TERM DEPOSITS


Fixed or Time deposits accounts are the major source of the capital for investment for the bank and cannot be withdrawn as in case of the current account. The amount deposited can be received back after a certain specified period of time. The rate of interest paid on fixed Deposits is normally higher than saving Deposits. The rate of interest also varies due to time period. More the maturity period of the account more the interest is paid by the bank. After the expiry of the period the customer presents the receipt to bank and received the amount in cash or bank added in the customer accounts as agreed between bank and customer. Q: if the customer withdraw the amount before its maturity period in fixed deposit account then what would happen? ANS: Suppose you are the customer of the bank and have fixed deposit in that bank. For example you have deposited Rs. 100,000/- for the one year at the interest rate of 6.50% per month. Accidentally after six month you need your amount back and want to withdraw it. Then it doesnt mean that you will not get any profit on it at all or you should be charged a fine. Only and only your profit ratio would be reduced because according to the bank policy more the period of fixed deposit more the interest would be paid to the customer by the bank. Suppose that six months fixed deposit rate of interest is 6.00% then it means now you will get the 6.00% rate of interest instead of 6.50%. The period of fixed deposit account ranges from three months to ten years. It is usually operated by widows, retired pensioners, salaried persons etc. to get the regular (monthly) rate of interest. In Pakistan this account is subject to Zakat deduction.

Horizontal Analysis
This technique is also known as comparative analysis. It is conducted by setting consecutive balance sheet, income statement or statement of cash flow side-by-side and reviewing changes in individual categories on a year-to-year or multiyear basis. The most important item revealed by comparative financial statement analysis is trend. A comparison of statements over several years reveals direction, speed and extent of a trend(s). The horizontal financial statements analysis is done by restating amount of each item or group of items as a 82 Internship Report

percentage. Such percentages are calculated by selecting a base year and assign a weight of 100 to the amount of each item in the base year statement. Thereafter, the amounts of similar items or groups of items in prior or subsequent financial statements are expressed as a percentage of the base year amount. The resulting figures are called index numbers or trend ratios. Formula = Current Year amount / Base Year amount * 100 Horizontal analysis, whilst simple to execute and useful to a certain extent, has its limitations. These limitations include: Being highly dependent on the selection of base year and the period under examination in the financial model. Horizontal analysis provides little insight into why the trend occurred in a financial model. Horizontal analysis does not provide insight into whether the trend in the financial model results was superior/inferior to some benchmark. Horizontal analysis does not address the challenge of negative numbers.

Vertical Analysis
When using vertical analysis, the analyst calculates each item on a single financial statement as a percentage of a total. The term vertical analysis applies because each year's figures are listed vertically on a financial statement. The total used by the analyst on the income statement is net sales revenue, while on the balance sheet it is total assets. This approach to financial statement analysis, also known as component percentages, produces common-size financial statements. Common-size balance sheets and income statements can be more easily compared, whether across the years for a single company or across different companies. Vertical analysis is a technique for identifying relationship between items in the same financial statement by expressing all amounts as the percentage of the total amount taken as 100. In a balance sheet, for example, cash and other assets are shown as a percentage of the 85 Internship Report

total assets and, in an income statement, each expense is shown as a percentage of the sales revenue. In Vertical analysis, various components of the financial statements are standardized by expressing them as a percentage of some bases. Examples of common-sized statements include: Components of the balance sheet expressed as a percentage of total assets Components of the income statement expressed as a percentage of sales or revenue

A stock exchange is a corporation or mutual organization which provides "trading" facilities for stock brokers and traders, to trade stocks and other securities. The securities traded on a stock exchange include: shares issued by companies, unit trusts and other pooled investment products and bonds. To be able to trade a security on a certain stock exchange, it has to be listed there. The initial offering of stocks and bonds to investors is by definition done in the primary market and subsequent trading is done in the secondary market. In Pakistan securities are traded on three stock exchanges which are Karachi stock exchange, Lahore stock exchange and Islamabad stock exchange. The financial position of commercial banks registered on stock exchanges in Pakistan, are shown in preceding page in terms of their: Paid-up Capital Reserves Assets Deposits Advances Profit after tax Earnings per share Credit rating

The best way to analyze these commercial banks is to analyze their credit ratings. The United Bank of Pakistan enjoys the highest credit rating amongst Pakistani banks; JCR- VIS Credit rating Co. Limited awarded highest standalone credit rating of AAA to UBL. The JCRVIS Credit rating Co. comments about UBL say a lot about the bank: The organization has been able to strategically manage and build on its competitive advantages which has translated into the strong and well managed improvement in profitability trend observed over the last few years, a substantial balance sheet of sound asset quality, and strong liquidity and capitalization levels

89 Internship Report

UBLs key strength remains its extensive outreach and a low cost, stable deposit base. Deposits are also guaranteed by the Government of Pakistan under the Banking Unitedization Act, 1974. There have also been significant improvements in the management practices of the bank and a focus on enhancement of systems and controls. In this regard the management has entered into an agreement for the acquisition of a core banking software which is likely to be implemented over the next few years. JCR-VIS believes that the current economic situation puts certain leading industrial sectors and the general consumer under financial stress. Therefore, the second half of 2008 and 2009 are likely to be challenging for the banking sector as a whole, in terms of maintaining growth, asset quality and profitability. The JCR-VIS Rating Process include following steps: 1. Signs agreement for an initial rating 2. Submits preliminary information materials 3. Conducts a preliminary study 4. Submits a detailed questionnaire to the issuer/client 5. Provides detailed information in response to detailed questionnaire 6. Conducts pre due diligence meeting analysis 7. Conducts due diligence meetings 8. Conducts post due diligence analysis 9. Brief for internal rating committee meetings is prepared 10. Sub Committee recommends preliminary/initial rating 11.

Huge Deposits
The bank has stable growth in deposits since its emergence. The UBL is the second largest bank in Pakistan and because of its 45 years long existence it is the trustworthy bank in Pakistan and outside Pakistan.

Advances on Sound Basis


The loan facility provided by the bank is on sound basis. They have many checks and documentation that secure their money after advancing. With their strategy there are very less chances of non-recovery from the debtor.

Infrastructure

92 Internship Report

Because of its 1000 Domestic and 15 Overseas Branches they have very good infrastructure and are prevailing now outside Pakistan also. UBL continually looks for ways to become more efficient and to increase their profit margins.

Brands
UBL has launched their products and varied services with particular brand names that is now-a-days a competitive strategy in its own. They are launching same schemes that are already existent in the banking sector but because of giving them brand names they are creating unique identity. Their popular brands are UBL Wallet (ATM Card), UBL Address (house loan), UBL Drive (car financing), UBONLINE (online banking services), HAMRAH (traveler Cheque), Click N Remit, TezRaftar (remittance service) etc.

Fast Service
Another very important aspect of UBL is its fast service. Everything goes very quickly. If you are looking for a loan, or you want to deposit money or you want to pay your bills their services are so fast that they respond the customers very quickly. Like other banks customers do not have to wait for the long time.

Financial
UBL has financial strength as they are gaining profit from the advances that they provide to the organizations.

93 Internship Report

Promotion Criteria
The promotion criterion of employees is made up of passing the Diploma Examination of Pakistan Institute of Bankers (IBP).

Good Reputation
Because of its quality management, marketing, innovation in products and services they have established a good reputation in the banking sector.

INTERNAL WEAKNESSES
Centralization UBL is centralized. It means authority is not delegated to branch level. Manager cannot take initiative regarding different decisions such that for giving finance. Low Promotional Activity The majority of people are not well aware about the products of UBL. It is due to their very low services of promotional activity.

Low Motivation Level There is low level of motivation in the employees of the bank Reactive Approach UBL Management has opted reactive approach they respond to the market very slow and are reluctant to take initiative before the problem arise.

EXTERNAL OPPERTUNITIES
Mobile Banking 94 Internship Report

Mobile banking is a concept that has started to find its roots in the banking sector. So it is a big opportunity for UBL to avail this chance at big level. International Expansion Opportunities exist for expansion of UBL chains in the International Arena, in particular in Germany and Europe. Particular Invention must be given to the individual countrys customs and cultural practices to be successful. Trade Shows UBL should organize trade shows for the promotion of export for that they should finance the companies those who wanted to internationalize and wanted to introduce their product and services outside Pakistan. Liberalization Liberalization is a concept that in under discussion around the world as this is going to be implemented by WTO in a few years to come. With the liberalization many industries are expected to be open in Pakistan and with free trading lot of trade activity is expected. So keeping in view these perspectives there is great opportunity for UBL to be stronger.

Sociocultural An external opportunity exists in efforts to improve the social environment of local communities and society in general by offering innovative, community involvement programs.

EXTERNAL THREATS
Rapid Changes The rapidly changing environment in the banking sector and the quick response of the other banks to these changes can be a threat for UBL. 95 Internship Report

Customer Behavior What customer really wants is a difficult thing to identify as to identify the customer perception and its behavior is complex procedure. So the changing needs of the customer can be a threat for the banks. Governmental Policies Changing Governmental Policies an instability in Politics can be seen as a threat for the banking sector. Competition Competition can be the greatest threat for the UBL. As old banks have started changes and many new banks are emerging as a strong entity so UBL will face a strong threat from this competition unless the adopt pro active approach to handle these threats.

Chapter 5 Conclusions and Recommendations


Future Prospects of United Bank Limited
UBL expects its strong customer focus to drive the Banks future business strategy. On the domestic front, the Bank has already launched its consumer banking business. Increased investment is targeted in developing human resources, infrastructure and internal systems to support the aggressive consumer initiative and exploration of new avenues of revenue generation. The first step under this initiative is the launch of the Banks ATM / Debit Card, branded as UBL Wallet. Furthermore, UBL has introduced a full suite of innovative 96 Internship Report

consumer finance products designed to capture a significant share of the local consumer financing market and tap into the current growth in demand for such financing.

Conclusions
The UBL is growing rapidly in the banking sector in Pakistan. It has currently largest Online branches in urban areas , and also developing its structure in rural areas too.. As the technology Advances the UBL also making it self fast and accurate in coming years the UBL is looking for the better infrastructure in banking in Pakistan. As the World is going forward towards technology and advancements, the UBL also going step by step with all the organizations. It has a good banking Structure, and very fast and effective network.iconcluded that it is the good banking for rural customers as well as urban customers, there are need of areas to be established and worked. My Experience during internship was great and full of learning. I learned A lot from the GMAbad branch.All the Staff members give Great respect and honor, and every person want to teach me whatever he knows. And know when I made my internship, my mind cleared all the duobts which I left during my internship.

Recommendations
The overall organization is very good and results oriented, but I feel there is a need of improvement in some areas. There is not so much strictness about works the employees performed. Every one not want to do his work properly, he always take interests in others work. There is not an equal distribution of work, according to the designation of the Employee. If there is proper checking of work of the employees then they would be very efficient in their work. Lack of facilities to the employees, take the employees mind to their private and they will not be able to perform well. If proper facilities are providing to them and they have no tension of child feed, then they would be able to work efficiently.

97 Internship Report

All the members of Staff are not motivated by the seniors. The attitude of Staff is not good with the customers. There is a Need of improvement in the attitude of the staff. UBL boosting from its privatization, but after that there is not so much care is taken, as it was expected. The Organization is creeping towards success, but the competing organization from UBL is running towards success. IF UBL make policies according to the customer needs and customer affordability then, the bank will successively run in towards new age. The online System of the bank should improved, it is much better in urban areas, but very poorly operate in rural areas. The service charges are too high as compare to other Commercial banks. The interest margin is also increased, because the customers are receiving more mark up with less installments that why UBLs credit section is not, profiting effectively.

SWIFT MECHANISM
SWIFT mechanism is gaining importance for the treatment of LC and it has been found that UBL has only provided SWIFT facility at its head office not to all the authorized dealers dealing with foreign exchange in their branches. To save the precious time of the prestigious for LC in their Central branches inside the country. TO AVOID CUSTOMER DEFECTION During my time period that I spent in foreign exchange department I found in their registers that many firms were defecting means those who were first loyal to UBL for the operations of opening LC were not viewed in the list for a longer period of time. To avoid their 98 Internship Report

defection whether it is partial or full relationship should be created by giving a phone call. It will make betterment in UBL s goodwill and their profits. REDUCE COMPLEXITY IN ADVANCES While providing advances the mechanism that is opted by UBL is to provide facility and renew it after a year. In the renewal whole procedure is followed again that was opted at the start. Lot of documentation get not only employee confuse but even customer avoid that. This can be the reason for UBL having low ratio of advances as compared to their deposits. So UBL should finish the method of renewal but keep checking the performance of the organization by having relationship. INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION UBL has internationalized already and is performing very well in its abroad branches. But UBL has internationalized to few countries. They have big markets ahead of them and with their working activity will get simpler with that. In the form of European countries and markets like CHINA where there is lot of activity related to banks they can expand their chains. MOBILE BANKING Mobile banking is actually a banking that you can do yourself. You can perform various activities of bank through your mobile phones or through your computers. With just a call you can transfer money from an account to another and similarly other activities. It is a concept that is gaining importance throughout World Pakistan is no exception. UBL should start working on this concept to maintain their existence in the changing banking sector. ADOPT PRO-ACTIVE APPROACH UBL management should adopt proactive to survive in this sector. What I have observed is that UBL management is having reactive approach means that they react to the situation that their competitors have created. In case of consumer financing UBL has respond by having same schemes that have been already launched by their competitive e.g. car financing and housing schemes are responded but very late by the UBL. UBL should try 99 Internship Report

for new innovative ideas rather than moving on the same track that their competitive are doing. EDUCATE ACCOUNT HOLDERS Whether the account holders are new or existing bank should provide them with the initial information about how to deposit and withdraw money from the bank. It will be beneficial for the bank in a way that lot of time could be saved afterwards with that approach. PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITY Bank must let potential customers know that all attractions for banking exist. This is done by advertising on Television and obtaining Press coverage, in conjunction with direct mail, window displays, pamphlet in branches and in appropriate other locations (such as hostels, shops etc.) and including leaflets in statement of accounts sent to existing customers in the hope that they will tell potential customers about the services provided by our bank. RELATIONSHIP The bank should keep on filling the gap between customer and the bank through consumer friendly attitude and efficient services. They should work on building relationship with the customers.

BUSINESS PARTIES UBL should start thinking about relationship with the parties that are willing to do the business with the bank. Business in the form of deposits for a longer period of time. Rather than looking for small parties whose purpose is just to deposit in the morning and have withdrawal in the evening should be discouraged. Lot of time in work activity can be saved by having few but good parties rather than having huge accounts of small amount and specially those are not for the purpose of long term deposits. CHANGE ATTITUDE 100 Internship Report

Employees inside the branches should change their attitude toward the customer. It has been observed that customer do not get the same warm welcome and importance that he wants and he is been provided by other emerging banks like ALFALAH and UNION BANK. They should start thinking about changing their attitude from now. Performance Appraisal & Compensation Employee appraisal is an major part good and effective HRM.
