History and Introduction of Muslim Commercial Bank


Muslim Commercial Bank (MCB) unfolds 62 years of growth. MCB is not an overnight success story. MCB Ltd formerly known as Muslim Commercial Bank Limited was incorporated by the Adamjee Group on July 9, 1947, under the Indian Companies Act, VII of 1913 as a limited company. The bank was established with a view to provide banking facilities to the business community of the South Asia. The bank started corporate life in Calcutta on July 9, 1947. After the partition of the Indo-Pak Subcontinent, the bank moved to Dhaka from where it commenced business in August 1948. In 1956, the Bank transferred its registered office to Karachi, where the Head Office is presently located. Thus, the bank inherits a 62-years legacy of trust in its customers and the citizens of Pakistan. The bank was nationalized in 1974 during the government of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. This was the first bank to privatize in 1991 and the bank was purchased by a consortium of distinguished Pakistani corporate groups led by Nishat Group. As of June 2008, the Nishat Group owns a majority stake in the bank. Founded in 1948, Nishat Group is one of the leading and most diversified business groups in Pakistan. The group has strong presence in the most important business sectors of the country such as banking, textile, cement and insurance. Mian Mohammad Mansha is the Chairman of the group (and also MCB) and has played instrumental role in its success. In recognition of Mr. Manshas contribution, the Government of Pakistan has conferred him with "Sitara-e-Imtiaz", one of the most prestigious civil awards of the country. During the last fifteen years, the Bank has concentrated on growth through improving service quality, investment in technology and people, utilizing its extensive branch network, developing a large and stable deposit base and managing its loan book through improved risk management processes. MCB is Pakistans fourth largest bank by assets having an asset base of PKR 445 billion at 2008 on a consolidated basis and the largest bank by market capitalization. The Bank has a nationwide

ACCOUNT OPENING DEPARTMENT


y For the duration of my internship in MCB, I have learned and observed many things about opening an account. Basically, I think that opening an account is to establish a contractual relationship between banker and client. By opening an account at a bank of a person becomes a "client" of a bank. In addition, I will express the basic requirements and steps for opening account. y Before opening an account at MCB I observed that the following points should be considered in this regard. y y Another account holder of the bank should properly present the new client. The account holder must sign the account opening form in the presence of the representative of the bank and the signature is properly verified. y y A copy of the ID card is required by the Bank. Against the submission of the form of Bank prescribed application duly presented in the manner prescribed and on the provision of these documents may be necessary and account can be opened. The Bank reserves to itself the right to refuse to open an account without giving any reason. y Each account is assigned a separate number must be quoted in all correspondence with the relationship bank account. y Minimum to open and ongoing maintenance of various types of accounts is as follows: Rs y y y Savings of 500 Current 500 Term deposit 1000

Recommendations
Although the MCB Ltd. is working very efficiently and effectively since its privatization in 1991. It becomes one of the leading private banks in the Pakistan. It is contributing a lot in the economy of Pakistan. But there still something on which the management of the MCB should work on. The following should be needed to improve:  The employees of the bank feel the boredom of doing same tasks. So the job rotation policy should be adopted frequently to create interesting working conditions.  The management of the bank must send its employees for different courses in the major cities of Pakistan or even abroad. This will contribute in the employee development and also in the organizational development.  The management should send the employees on the training. This will help the employee to understand his work and perform his duties in an efficient way.  The incentives to the employees should and must increase on the regular basis. So it will increase the employee retention with the bank and also increase the employee involvement.  The management of the bank should design the proper internship program for the graduate students and also for the post graduates in way that they can learn a lot during their internship.  With that the internship program should be in a way that the deserving students can get the chance for the internship.  Recently the management is closing its non profitable branches frequently. So the management should try to minimize the problem and maximize the profit but should not close the branches. Because this will also cause the unemployment.  The management should take care the shareholders of the bank and always keep an eye to maximize the wealth of the shareholders.  Recently the management of the bank is not working on the policy to attract the foreign business. The management should also work on to expand its business internationally.
