History of Banking

Evaluation of Banking

It has not so far been decided as to how the word “Bank” originated. Some
authors opine that this word is derived from the words “Bancus” or Banque”
which mean a bench. The explanation of this origin is attributed to the fact that
the Jews in Lombardy transacted the business of money exchange on benches
in the market place and when the business failed, the “Banco” was destroyed by
the people. Incidentally the word “Bankrupt” is said to have been evolved from
this practice.

Other Authorities hold the opinion that the word “Bank” is derived from the
German word “Back” which means “Joint Stock Fund”. Later on, when the
German occupied major part of Italy, the word “Back” was Italianized into “Bank”,

It is, therefore, not possible to decide as to which of the opinions is correct. For
no record is available to ascertain the validity of any of the opinions.

Early Growth

Banking in fact is as primitive as human society, for ever since man came to
realize the importance if money as a medium of exchange, the necessity of a
controlling for regulating agency or institution was naturally felt. Perhaps it were
the Babylonians who developed banking system as early as 2000 B.C. It is
evident that the temples of Babylon were used as “Banks” because of the
prevalent respect and confidence in the clergy.

Modern Banking

Despite the classical origin, banking in its modern form and structure started in
Britain when many of the Lombardy merchants came to England in the fourteenth
century and settled in the parts of the city of London now called Lombard Street.
They were so resourceful that even the king had to depend on them for loans
despite the fact that the Church was firmly against usury. They dealt with not only
keeping the money in safe custody but also changed money for the travelers or
merchants engaged in foreign trade.

In 1695, the Bank of England was established. This bank lent GBP1,200,000 at
8% to William-III, who in return allowed a number of privileges to the bank,
specially the right to issue Note payable to bearer on demand up to the amount
of this loan. This was known as “Fiduciary” issue, not covered by gold.

Development of Modern Banking:

Page | 5
FAISAL AZAM Hailey College of Commerce 1522

In 1854, the Joint Stock Companies Act opened an era of corporations and the
Limited Liability Act. 1855 restricted the liability of shareholders of a Limited
Company to the amount of the successfully paid up value of the shares held by
them. In the succeeding years Joint Stock Banks became very common either by
absorption of private banks or amalgamation amongst Joint Stock Banks
themselves.

In 1955 the British banks made a departure from traditional banking by


undertaking hire-purchase financing for companies buying industrial plants and
machinery and took interest on hire-purchase finance.

Types of Banks:

Due to the variety of resources if money and the diversity in lending and
investment operations, banks have been placed in various categories, such as:

• Commercial Banks
• Merchant Banks
• Saving Banks
• Mortgage Banks
• Consumer Banks
• Investment Banks
• Central Banks

Banking in Pakistan

At the time of Independence, there were 487 offices of scheduled banks in the
territories now constituting Pakistan. By 30th June 1948, the number of offices of
schedule banks in Pakistan declined from 487 to 195.

The Government of Pakistan ultimately decided to deregulate the financial


sector, allowing freedom to capital market and money market both. At present
the money market structure in Pakistan companies of the following:

1. State Bank of Pakistan


2. Commercial Banks
3. Exchange Banks
4. Cooperative Banks
5. Cooperative Credit Societies
6. Saving Banks
7. Specialized Credit Institutions

Commercial Banks

Commercial Banks are companies “which transact the business of banking in


Pakistan”. The companies operate in accordance with the provisions of the

Page | 6
FAISAL AZAM Hailey College of Commerce 1522

Banking Companies Ordinance 1962. Section 5(b) of which says: “Banking


means the accepting, for the purpose of lending or investment, of deposits of
money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise, and withdrawable by
cheques, drafts, order or otherwise.”

Commercial Banks in Pakistan have been authorized to engage in any one or


more of the forms of business in accordance with the Section 7 of the Banking
Companies Act, 1956

History of MCB Bank Limited

MCB bank was incorporated in 1947 and soon it earned the reputation of a solid

deterioration in quality of the bank’s loan portfolio and service quality. Eventually,
MCB was privatized in 1991.

improving service quality, investment in technology and people, utilizing its
extensive branch network, developing a large and stable deposit base and
managing its non-performing loans via improved risk management processes.

MCB Bank Ltd. was known as “Muslim Commercial Bank Ltd.” before 2005. But
in 2005 the Management of the Bank decided to change its name from “Muslim
Commercial Bank Ltd.” To “MCB Bank Ltd.” keeping in view the over all image of
the Muslims in the world. MCB is one of the leading banks of Pakistan with a
deposit base of Rs. 368 Billion and total assets over Rs.500 Billion. The Bank
has a customer base of approximately 4 million, a nationwide distribution network
of over 1,000 branches and over 450 ATMs in the market.

Risk Management

Risk Management at MCB is aimed at maximizing value for its stakeholders. All
entities face uncertainty and the challenge for management is to determine how
much uncertainty to accept as it strives to grow stakeholder value and what
should be the return associated with the risks taken. Uncertainty presents both
risk and opportunity, with the potential to erode value. Risk Management at MCB
Bank enables management to effectively deal with uncertainty and associated
risk and opportunity, enhancing the capacity to build value. Value is maximized
by setting strategy and objectives to strike an optimal balance between growths
and return goals vis-à-vis related risks, and efficient and effective deployment of
resources in pursuit of the set objectives.

Risk Management Encompasses:

Aligning risk appetite and strategy-considering the entity’s risk appetite in


evaluating strategic alternatives, setting related objectives, and developing
mechanisms to manage related risks.

Enhancing risk response decisions-provides the rigor to identify and select


among alternative risk responses-risk avoidance, sharing, mitigation and
acceptance.

Reducing operational surprises and losses-identify potential events and establish


responses, reducing surprises and associated costs or losses.
Improving deployment of capital-obtaining robust risk information allows
management to effectively assess overall capital needs.

These capabilities help management achieve the entity’s performance and


profitability targets and prevent losses. Risk Management ensures effective
reporting, compliance with laws & regulations an helps avoiding damages to the
entity’s reputation and associated consequences.

During the year, the Bank was admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing
Authority and to the London Stock Exchange Professional Securities Market for
trading of Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) issued by the Bank. The GDRs
constitute an offering in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in
reliance on Rule 144A under the U.S Securities Act of 1933 and an offering
outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S. The Bank has issued
8,622,100 GDRs each representing four ordinary equity shares at an offer price
of US$17.3970 per GDR (total receipt being USD$149.999 million) Accordingly,
based on an exchange rate of Rs.60.70=US$1.00 (which was the exchange rate
on the date of the final offering circular relating to the GDR issue made by the
Bank), 34,488,400 ordinary equity shares of nominal value of Rs.10 each of the
Bank were issued at a premium of Rs.254 per ordinary equity share (total
premium amount being Rs.8,760.054 million).

The net proceeds from the issue of the GDRs are being utilized for general
corporate purposes. Holders of GDRs are entitled, subject to the provisions of
the Deposit Agreement, to receive dividend, if any and rank pari passu with other
equity shareholders in respect of dividend. However, the holder of GDR have no
voting rights or other direct rights of shareholder with respect to the equity shares
underlying such GDRs. Subject to the terms and restrictions set out in the
offering circular dated October 11, 2006, the deposits equity shares in respect of
which the GDRs were issued may be withdrawn from the depository facility.
Upon withdrawal, the holders will rank pari passu with other equity shareholders
in respect of dividend, voting and other direct rights of shareholder. As at
December 31, 2006, 4.900 million of the deposited equity shares had been
withdrawn from the depository facility.

Risk Management:

The wide variety of Bank’s business necessitates a risk management system to


identify, measure, monitor and manage risks effectively. Bank’s risk management
framework is based on three pillars; risk principles, organizational structures and
prudent risk measurement and monitoring processes which are closely aligned
with the activities of the Bank so as to ensure that risks are kept within an
acceptable level.

Risk Management Organization:

The bank risk management function is independent of the business areas. Based
on the State Bank of Pakistan’s (SBP) guidelines and Bank for International
Settlement’s frameworks, the bank has constituted a Risk Management
Committee (RMC), developed an elaborate risk identification measurement and

Page | 34
FAISAL AZAM Hailey College of Commerce 1522

management framework and has also reorganized risk management function


broadly based on the following:

• Setting up of separate risk areas (as detailed below)


• Engaging the advisory services of an international consultant for the
overall risk management function.

The head of risk management is a member of risk management & management


committees of the Bank and is responsible for credit, market and operational risk
management activities within the Bank in close coordination with respective
business areas. To ensure independence, head of risk management is directly
reporting to the RMC.

For each risk, i.e. credit, operational and market, a specific department has been
established with the mandate to:

• Identify, measure, monitor and mitigate risk while ensuring that


risk/reward relationship is maintained at an optimal Setting up of
separate risk areas (as detailed below)

• Ensure that the business conducted is consistent with the risk


appetite of the Bank.

• Formulate and Implement risk policies, procedures and


methodology n coordination with business areas.

• Conduct periodic reviews to ensure that the risk are within


acceptable parameters, and

• Develop & implement risk management infrastructure & systems


that are appropriate for each area and flexible to cater risk
emanating from changing banking environment.

• The most important risk that Bank management assumes are


specific banking risks and risks arising from the general business
environment.


The Bank’s risk management process distinguishes among various kinds of
specific banking risks and mainly comprises of credit risk, liquidity risk,
operational risk and market risk. The policies and procedures for managing risks
are outlines below:

Credit Risk:

Page | 35
FAISAL AZAM Hailey College of Commerce 1522

Credit risk makes up the largest part of the Bank’s risk exposures. The Bank
measures and manages its credit risk by adopting the following policies:

• Consistent standards are applied for credit decision processes.

• The approval of credit limits for counter parties and the management
of individual credit exposures are subject to credit review.

• Every extension of credit or material change to a credit facility (such


as tenor, collateral structure or major covenants) to counter party
requires credit approval and independent review at the appropriate
levels.

• The Bank assigns credit approval authorities to individuals according


to their qualifications, experience and training and the management
reviews these periodically. The approval process is checked through
independent review by Risk Management Group (RMG), and post-
fact by the audit function.

In addition, the below listed initiatives have been initiated by the Bank for
enhancement of risk management capabilities:

• Development of risk based credit MIS.

• Exposure and Collateral related database is being beefed up as per


Basel II requirements.

• Credit Administration role being revitalized and Credit Risk Control


(CRC) roll out plan being implemented.

• Automation of CRC function is being planned in line with the roll out
of the Bank’s core banking application.

• Establishment of portfolio management function.

• Up-dation of credit manual to provide comprehensive guidelines for


credit process and to adopt latest development in credit risk
management practices.
The management measures and consolidates all the Bank’s credit exposures to
each obligor on a global consolidated basis that applies across the Bank.

Concentration of Credit and Deposits:

Out of the total financial assets of Rs.325,641 million (2005: Rs.287,127 million)
the financial assets which are subject to credit risk amounting to Rs.317,694
million (2005: Rs.281,063 million). To manage credit risk the bank applies credit
Page | 36
FAISAL AZAM Hailey College of Commerce 1522

limits to its customers and obtains adequate collaterals. Investments amounting


to Rs.46,953 million (2005: Rs.57,103 million) are guaranteed by the
Government of Pakistan. In addition, an amount of Rs.21,870 million (2005:
Rs.15,054 million) are held by the Bank with the State Bank of Pakistan and
central banks of other countries.

Market Risk Management:

The bank is exposed to interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and equity price
risk. The bank is using in-house and vendor based solutions for calculating mark
to market value of its positions, and generating VaR (value at risk) and sensitivity
numbers. Besides conventional methods, the Bank is using VaR for market risk
assessment of assets booked by treasury and capital market groups. For
calculating VaR numbers, of conventional products, the Bank is using variance
covariance methodology, while for derivatives and structured products Monte
Carlo simulations are used.

Further stress testing of both banking and trading books are performed in line
with SBP guidelines.

The Bank is exposed to interest rate risk both in trading and banking books.
Presently the market risk reporting system is generating risk numbers of
Government securities held by the Bank’s treasury. The risk management
system generates daily reports based upon the marked to market value of these
assets. These reports provide risk numbers i.e. duration, PVB and VaR on
individual security basis. The system also generates summarized reports on
portfolio basis. These reports are presented to the senior management for review
on daily basis.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management:

Main objective of foreign exchange risk management is to ensure the foreign


exchange exposure of the Bank lies within the defined risk appetite (10% of the
paid up capital). Daily reports are generated to evaluate the exposure in different
currencies. Further risk management system generates VaR and PVBP numbers
for foreign exchange portfolio to estimate the potential loss under normal
conditions. Stress testing of foreign exchange portfolio is also performed and
reported to senior management. All these activities are performed on daily basis.

Equity Price Risk:

Page | 37
FAISAL AZAM Hailey College of Commerce 1522

Equity price risk is managed by applying trading limit, scrip-wise and portfolio
wise nominal limits. VaR numbers generation and stress testing of the equity
portfolio are also performed and reported to senior management on daily basis.

Liquidity Risk:

It is the policy of the Bank to maintain adequate liquidity at all times, in all
geographical locations and for all currencies and hence to be in a position, in the
normal course of business, to meet all the obligations, to repay depositors, to
fulfill commitments to lend and to meet any other commitments made. The Bank
manages liquidity risk in three stages:

• Balance sheet management;


• Liquidity management; and
• Intraday liquidity management.

• Balance sheet management:

Balance sheet management is the practice of reviewing the actual and planned
strategic growth of business and its impact from a balance sheet integrity and
sustainability perspective. As such the goal is to identify any risks arising from
structural imbalances and concentration, and seek to alter plans in order to avoid
these developing into a liquidity problem.

• Liquidity management:

Liquidity management is the day-to-day practice of ensuring that the Bank is able
to meet all its payment obligations as they fall due without having to sell assets or
borrow funds at short notice at adverse market prices. While primarily focused on
the management of cash flows, the Bank maintains a portfolio of marketable
securities that can either be sold outright or sold through a repurchase
agreement to generate cash flow for meeting liquidity requirements.

• Intraday Liquidity management

Intraday Liquidity is the practice of ensuring that the Bank has sufficient cash
during the day to make payments through the local payment system. In this
respect, the Bank maintains cash balances from which payments are made or
generate cash balances through the receipt of payments due or from borrowings
or the outright sale or pledging of qualifying securities with the State Bank of
Pakistan.

Operational Risk:

Page | 38
FAISAL AZAM Hailey College of Commerce 1522

Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed
internal processes, people and systems or from external events.

The Bank has an operational risk policy approved by Board of Directors.


Operational risk is presently in state of evolution. The policy among other aspects
focuses on measuring operational risk through establishing systems for
maintaining operational loss database, identifying and monitoring key risk
indicators, setting operational risk tolerance levels, etc.

The Bank is in the process of developing and documenting a detailed operational


risk framework. The purpose of framework is to guide the implementation of
operational risk policy. The framework aims at laying out clearly defined roles
and responsibilities of individuals/units across different functions of the Bank that
would be involved in performing various operational risk management tasks.

Cheque Deposit & Withdrawal through Clearing
Overview
Clearing of banking instruments like demand draft, payment order, collection and
payment of cheque, mailing transfers , telegraphic transfer, dividend warrants,
etc,. Collection and payment of cheques are known as inward and outward
clearing. In the past the clearing process is done in a way that if a cheque is
come to bank for clearing the bank collect all the cheques at specific time limit

Page | 40
FAISAL AZAM Hailey College of Commerce 1522

and after that time the bank clearing officer goes with a guard and goes to
different bank for clearing of cheque. It is quite a lengthy process and risky
process and now state bank offers this facility for the clearing of cheques through
NIFT. The NIFT system is more efficient and quick in terms of time and accuracy
as compared to the manual system of cheque clearing. NIFT is introducing
modern techniques for clearing of financial instruments by duly realizing the
future problems and prospects of the payments system in Pakistan. The
automated system, installed by NIFT, is not only quick and efficient but also
flexible to accommodate various types of instruments and expected increase in
their volumes .NIFT has installed automatic cheque-sorters that can sort 30,000
cheques per hour.
a)Inward Clearing:
Payments of cheques of our customers drawn on MCB.
b)Outward Clearing:
Collection of funds of local cheques deposited by the customer drawn on other
Banks like the cheques of MEEZAN bank , Faysal bank, Askari bank and all
these cheques have the same city and come to the branch of Samnabad for
clearing . This is known as the outward clearing.
CLEARING REGISTER
The clearing officer put all the records on the clearing register. The register
contains the columns like L.B.C. In this we register the name of the person in
whose account te amount is to be deposited. The second column contains the
ACCOUNT TITLE in this the name of the person in which the amount is to be
deposited. The next column is DRAWER we mention the name of the city for
which cheque belongs. Like Faisalabad. The next column is DRAWEE which
contains the name of the bank whose cheque is to be sent for clearing. The next
column contains the CHQUE NO. In this the instrument number is mentioned.
And next column is AMOUT and this the amount which is mentioned on cheque
and is on deposit slip which must be same is recorded. After recording all the
data the clearing officer puts the total on the ADD LIST and only cheque amounts
are mentioned on it and not seen the deposit slips. The officer also put the

Page | 41
FAISAL AZAM Hailey College of Commerce 1522

carbon paper and after that he puts the total and telly it with the amount put on
the register. And at last he put the bundle cover form and written the total amount
on it and after various stamps like clearing stamps which must be of the next day
put cheque is presented on 3rd August the clearing officer put 4th August stamp
on it and another stamp on the back after all that process he put the cheque with
bundle cover form in the bag of the NIFT. One thing also kept in mind is that
cheque have the name mentioned on it if a cheque sent for clearing and having
no name of the holder or bearer then the cheque is returned and is not cleared
and also note that that a person who us thumb impression for account is not
eligible for clearing.

Clearing process by NIFT:


The automated cheque processing system is operated by the NATIONAL
INSTITUTIONAL FACILITATION TECHNOLOGIES (NIFT), a private company
for the clearing of cheques. In this different banks and their branches will directly
approach the NIFT and send their cheques and various instruments for the
clearing purposes. In NIFT every bank has appointed a representative for the
clearing, for example MCB representatives, ALLIED bank representative etc,
have been appointed by the NIFT. At night all the representative get together and
sorted the cheques o of all the branches and then makes the clearing of
cheques. NIFT sends its representative to the branches to the banks and gives
them an INTER CITY Clearing advice. At morning the advice called
DIFFERENCE and its contains;
Transaction code: 2242
Cheques delivered by you: xxxxx
Cheques received by you: xxxxx
Difference xxxxx
If the difference is favorable then the entry is
HEAD OFFICE …………………….. DEBIT
BRANCH…………………………………………CREDIT

Page | 42
FAISAL AZAM Hailey College of Commerce 1522

If the difference is unfavorable then the entry is reversed


BRANCH………………………. DEBIT
HEAD OFFICE………………………..CREDIT
And the evening advice is called CHEQUE RETURN advice it contains the
cheque which are return and which are dishonored due to various reasons like
bouncing of cheque( cheques returned due to insufficient funds) like cheque is
mutilated and there are many reasons by which a cheque can be returned.
If a cheque is returned the clearing officers put this cheque in the cheques
returned register and gets the initials of the cheque holder on it.

CROSSING OF CHEQUES
WHAT IS CHEQUE:
A cheque is an instrument which is used for drawing the amount from the bank it
is called Cheque.
Cheque crossing
When a cheque bears across its face two parallel lines containing the words” And
Company ” or any other abbreviation thereof , the cheque is said to be crossed.
Crossed cheque categories
• Cheque crossed specifically.

Page | 43
FAISAL AZAM Hailey College of Commerce 1522

• Cheque crossed generally

Definition of General crossing:


Where a cheque bears across its face an addition of the words “and
company” or any abbreviation thereof, between two parallel transverse
lines, or of two parallel transverse lines simply, either with or without the
words “not negotiable”, that addition shall be deemed a crossing, and the
cheque shall be deemed to be crossed generally. [section 123]
(source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_of_cheques)
Crossing must be across the face of the cheque. Crossing may either be
in ink, printed or typed.
By crossing a cheque generally the banker is directed not to make
payment except through another banker and thus a person who is not
entitled to receive payment is prevented from getting the cheque
encashed at the counter of the paying bank.

1. 1 and 2 crossing on the instrument explains that payment cannot be made on


the cash counter rather the funds will be credited into the beneficiary’s account
with the same bank or another bank.
2. Crossing at serial number three indicates or gives direction to the paying bank
that payment has to be made:

o Through account or Bank


o To the named Payees only
Page | 44
FAISAL AZAM Hailey College of Commerce 1522

A person taking a cross cheque, crossed generally or specifically bearing in


either case the words “Not Negotiable” shall not have and shall not be capable of
giving a better title to the cheque than that which the person from whom he/she
took it in first instance had. Practically this crossing deprives the cheque of it two
characteristics of negotiability and transferability free from the defects and
transferability by endorsement.
Definition of Special Crossing:
“Where a cheque bears across its face an addition of the name of a banker
with or without the words “Not Negotiable” that addition, shall be deemed
a crossing and the cheque shall be deemed to be crossed specially and to be
crossed to that banker.”
Conversion of a Crossed Cheque into Open Cheque:
A crossed Cheque can be converted into an open cheque by writing, “Please pay
Cash” near the crossing with full signature of the drawer. The drawer can cancel
the crossing. However, the banker can cancel the special crossing.
Who can cross the cheque?
1. The drawer.
2. Holder, where the cheque is uncrossed.
3. Holder may cross a cheque especially where the cheque is crossed
generally.
4. A cheque crossed specially to one banker may be crossed specially to
another banker.
5. Where an uncrossed cheque or cheque crossed generally is sent to a
banker for collection may cross it especially to himself.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Shortage of staff:

Almost in all branches of muslim commercial bank the problem of


shortage of staff is very common. There are only few employees who are the
alland end all of the whole branch resulting in burden of work. Basically the main
idea it is that whenever there is shortage of staff in any organization it always
result in lot of work and also boost up the destructiveness as well because
people working over there feel like that they can do whatever they feel like so sre
least bothered about the rules and regulations as implemented by the head office
and mostly it resultsin corruption

Staff Is Not Adaquately Trained:


Staff in almost all branches of MCB is not adequately trained with the
contemporary era. Basically MCB is from the very beginning, is pioneer of new
products including ATMs , Mobile Banking & Online banking as well but as they
developed the new systems and products in order to satisfy the customer want
they did’t get their staff trained in relation with those iinnovations . MCB having
two staff colleges one in Lahore and one in Karachi but both make you aware of
the systems and procedures but are not training or can say emphasizing on
these innovated products.

Online banking:

This problem is related to the previous problem as well because when the
staff is not adequately trained then how can they satisfy their customer’s needs,
which is the basic theme or mission of MCB.
When MCB started their online banking, there were only one or two
banks(foreign banks) doing this practice because of having a larger network as
compared to all other domestic banks MCB started doing this practice but not
successful in it because of the abovetwo problems.

Others:

A lot of productive time is wasted by the staff in unproductive pursuits and


tea and lunch breaks are got voluntarily extanded and the time spent in corridors,
depends on the staff will. This tendency of late must be eliminated which relect
adversely on the image of the institution and has posed a serious problem.
No proper allocation of duties, suitable person for suitable job.
Distribution of work is not on equity basis, work has not been alloated properly
some workers have to work in late hours without any extra reward. So I suggest

that steps should be taken to allocate the work properly. No periodic increase on
salaries of employees.

Overall Suggestions For Improvement


From the quantum of the profit and its financial data it can easily judged
that after privatization MCB is performing well. Its deposit are growing day by day
and so is profitability. The controlling body is responsible for the productive
performance of the bank
Following are my suggestion to improve the efficiency for the development of the
country

Introduce various profitable investment scheme


A big portion of the home remittance is sent by Pakistan working capital
through MCB limited As we know a big portion of this amount is wasted
purchasing of luxuries. The people motivated to save money by offering the
deposit through various investment scheme. The rateof profit should increase 1%
or 2%than the other bank and it would be profitable step for bank

Training staff:

Staff turnover particularly of trained staff result in financial and other


losses. The amount spent by bank on employment, induction and training of an
outgoing officer constitutes to beat till another officer should ready prove his
work. The exodus of bank officer in the past has worsened the situation

Change the nature of work


Most of the bank employees are sticking to one seat with the result that
they become master of one particular job and loose their grip on other banking
operation. In my opinion all the employees should have regular job experience all
out-look towards banking. The promotion policy should be adjusted.

Conclusion

During the internship report , I drew the following conclusion,


MCB limited has implemented a SYMBOL system which promises the efficiency
and growth of the bank. MIS and computerization of branches has enhanced the
efficiency of the bank. Delegation of authority, wide branch network with ATM
installation and wide participation of employees in the decision making provides
the bank a competitive edge. The bank provides a conducive environment for
career growth. The bank pays a too low rate of interest on deposit which in
unattractive for its customers. There are too lengthy formalities and procedures
involved in mortgage of properties offered as collateral to the bank.

The MCB bank has made substation progree, recording strong growth in
revenues and earnings. The main derives were increase in outreach,
strengthened human resources. Including changes at the senior management
level, enhanced product portfoloios, improved control and vigilant credit risk
management. Our primary focus was our customers and we worked diligently
through the year to increasesatisfaction and loyalty as the needs and expectation
of our diversified base of customers continued to expand. A key initiative aimed
at including a segment based approach to the overall businesswas the
segeration of the retail banking group into commercial and consumer banking
groups. This expected to help the MCB bank in providing customer centric
solution in a more group generated healthy deposit and strengthened its SME
lending.
