EXECTIVE SUMMARY
This report is aimed at studying and analyzing the “UBL” this report is based on findings
of eight weeks internship. United bank limited was established in 1963.This methodology
used in our report is based on two types of data, one is primary data consisting of
interview discussion with manager and officials. Other type of data is secondary data
consisting of annual report, internship report of seniors, internet and relevant books
during my internship. One of the major problem was limited time and also there was little
material available in the branch but my sense of personal observation motivates me to
collect as much material as possible from “UBL.”
The overall performance of UBL in term of profitability and growth has been rise over
the past few year. But in anchor to survive and growth in intense competition this bank
should pay more and more attention to carry out a detailed market research /analysis and
prepare a new product plan before launching any venture.

because it is the main source of obtaining the funds from the customers.

BANKING SECTOR
2.1. INTRODUCTION
The word “Bank” is of a European origin and is derived from the Italian word
“BANCO”, which means a table or a counter. In the opinion of the eminent scholars of
banking, the reason why this word was given to the banking business was the prevailing
traditions of Lombardian money changers. It was at the end of the middle ages when the
trade and the business of exchange of money was flourishing in the Northern cities of
Italy and the money changers used the wooden benches to carry out their business in the
markets of buying and selling of various currencies.1
Definition
‘’ A bank is a firm which collects money from those who have it spare. It lends
money to those who require it. ’’ OR
‘’ A bank is a firm takes deposits from households and firms and makes loans to other
households and firms’’2.
Banking in the modern sense of the word can be traced to medieval and early
Renaissance Italy, to the rich cities in the north like Florence, Venice and Genoa. The
Bardi and Peruzzi families dominated banking in 14th century Florence, establishing
branches in many other parts of Europe. Perhaps the most famous Italian bank was the
Medici bank, set up by Giovanni Medici in 1397.
At the time of partition total numbers of Banks were 38 only. Out of these Banks the
Pakistani Banks were only two, Indian Banks 29 & Exchange Banks were seven. 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
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”.4
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
in 1990. 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.
According to 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
2.4. FUNCTIONS OF A BANK
In general terms the functions of a commercial bank can be classified under the following
main heads.
2.4.1. 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.
2.4.2. 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.
A. 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.
B. 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.
2.4.3. 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.
2.4.4. Discounting of bills
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.
2.4.5. Transfer of money
Commercial Banks also perform the duty of an agent. It collects and pays on the behalf of
the customers.
2.4.8. 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.
2.4.9. Creation of credit
It also creates and extends the volume of credit.
2.4.10. Facilitating trading activities
It also provides the finance to the foreign trade. Letter of credits are issued by the
commercial banks for the foreign payments.
2.4.11. Purchase and sale of securities
The commercial bank purchases and sells the securities, for itself and sometimes on the
behalf of the costumes.
2.4.12. Acting as a trustee
If a client directs his bank to act as a trustee in the administration of a business, the bank
performs this responsibility.
2.4.13. Home saving account 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.
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 five laces depending on bank-
customer relationship and the market value of that person. 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 person’s
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.
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.
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 shop’s 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
2.5. ROLE OF BANKING IN ECONOMY
Banks play an important and active role in the economic development of a country. If the
banking system in a country is effectively, efficient and disciplined, it brings about a
rapid growth in the various sectors of the economy. The economic significance of banks
is given in brief.

OUR LEARNING AT BRANCH
Standing on the floor of UBL islamabad head office, I heard the good new of me having a
forty two days opportunity to interact with a world class bank. All these days were full of
events, full of learning and most importantly full of professional working. Here
professional regards in all from clerical to managerial work. In these days ,the best thing
to me was the authority and dependency of customers upon me, when they come with a
hope that I’m there to guide them through. Knowing all is not learning, the real learning
is to convey right. I tried to learn real, see real UBL, and tried to comprehend the
difference between what we look from outside and what is going on inside.UBL is full of
experienced and professional traditional bankers. As it perfectly suit the environment we
are operating in, You attitude has helped UBL in capturing masses. In the private sector,
no doubt it’s a fast growing bank, but here’s something that’s still unrealistic to the policy
makers. The line of unsatisfied customers is increasing, not because we are not serving
well, it’s because customers are not understanding the you attitude right. Every customer
wants to make sure his work is done at the first convenience, but they are not concerned
about the responsibility with which every employee is working. We need to put in some
guidelines for our customers, as they walk in. This will not only save their time but will
also motivate staff members to work more promptly, because if customer and employee
engage into some unhealthy quarrel, the whole environment will environment will be
disturbed.
Back to my real learnings. In my internship , I worked in customer service department, as
well as in clearing department. Because of some work load, I was unable to learn much
about other cash and accounting department. Here is my count down learning of forty
two days.
6.2. Account Opening:
Penning down information and keying it into the system does seem a simple and tedious
job but it is not. My initial days at customer service department was this liveliest
experience of my internship. Through physically I was there just to assist the account
opening officier, but it turned out to be much more for m. That is when I first actually
imitated as a presentor of UBL to customers, when to many people I’m theirnhpoe.
UBL offers a variety of options for anyone; to everyone. You are an investor, regular
businessman, middle man, salaried person or a house wife; UBL serve you in every way
it can through its commendable and reliable services, because of UBL, YOU COME
FIRST.
Working at customer service department, I did counter with different types of customers
and opened their account under the supervision of the officier. When you have the sole
responsibility to open the accounts, it’s always very important to understand the needs of
your customers. Understanding the psyche ofcustomer is very important. Until and unless
you’re completely satisfied that the customer has genuine reason and need too pen the
account, don’t do so.
Having categorized, firstly loan number of each cheque is verified. For the verification of
the prescribed loan number, following ledgers are credited
Credit Cards G3540223
Personal Loans G3540627
Auto Loans G3540601
Cash Line G5610014 (Head Office)
Verified cheques are then validated before being documented into the drop box collection
sheet for our daily drop box collections record. To anticipate the approval of cheques, we
need to validate some important specifications of all the cheques. They are:
Date: Cheque should not be post dated or out of date.
Figures: Amount in words and figures should match.
Signature: Drawers signature must be clear
Intercity: Cheques must not be of other cities. Intercity clearing cheques for consumer
departments are not entertained.
Payee’s Name: Payee’s name should be written, and endorsement should be as per the
beneficiary of the cheque.
There should be no over writing in every thing penned.
All the filtered cheques are then entered into the collection sheet in which following
information is entered.
Cheque No.
Name of bank
Name of customer
Loan No.

Document No.
All the documented consumer cheques are then posted into the system. Posting of the
consumer cheques.
For clearing, we opt for second option in Banking category, and after entering the posting
date, clearing date and transfer delivery date, we opt for single entry option. Now all the
cheques are credited in the clearing schedule in their prescribed ledgers.
6.3.2 Cleared Cheques
Now the next day when clearing is confirmed by NIFT, respected accounts are debited.
We go into the banking option and in transfer, we debit all the respected accounts. Same
is the case with intercity and OBC cheques.
In documentation, debit and credit vouchers are made, which show total amount of
clearing as per day.
6.3.3 Returned Cheques
All the cheques which are returned, due to any reason, are then reversed. They are
debited back in the clearing schedule. All the returned cheques are documented in the
cheque return registers and all the account holders of returned cheques are charged with
service penalty.
All the vouchers are signed by the designated officer and all the entries over 50,000 are
supervised.
