Executive Summary
As we all know very well that time and tide wait for none. So, because of this rapid
change in time and era we have to cope with it. During this era I got an opportunity of
getting practical knowledge about the Banking system in Pakistan. So to quench the thirst

HISTORICAL REVIEW:
Faysal Bank started operations in Pakistan in 1987, first as a branch set-up of Faysal
Islamic Bank of Bahrain and since 1995 as a locally incorporated Pakistani bank under
the present name of Faysal Bank Limited. On January 1, 2002, Al Faysal Investment
Bank Limited, another group entity in Pakistan, merged into Faysal Bank Limited which
resulted in a larger, stronger and much more versatile institution. In fact it has the highest
share capital amongst private banks in Pakistan and is amongst the largest in terms of
equity.
Faysal Bank Limited is a full service banking institution offering consumer, corporate
and investment banking facilities to its customers. The Bank’s widespread and growing
network of branches in the four provinces of the country and Azad Kashmir, together
with its corporate offices in major cities, provides efficient services in an effective
manner.

MY EXPERIENCE:

I joined Faysal Bank on 23rd of July. I did my internship for Six weeks in Faysal Bank,
westrige Branch. Basically there were 2 main departments in the bank i.e. Front Office

weeks of my internship there and two weeks in back operations. In these two departments
I learnt very much about the workings and functions of the bank and especially during

15
my internship in Operations I come to know what actually banking is? And how the
things to be done there. It was the very first practical and memorable experience of my
life and will be ever lastly remembered.
