1.History
AL-Meezan Investment Bank is established on 27 January 1997 as the first Islamic bank of
Pakistan. Mr. Irfan Siddiqui appointed as first and founding Chief Executive Officer. In 2002 the
first Islamic Banking Licence is issued to Meezan Bank by State Bank of Pakistan Societe
Generale, a French commercial bank’s operations in Pakistan were amalgamated with Meezan
Bank. President General Pervaiz Musharaf inaugurates the first commercial banking branch of
MBL at FTC building Karachi.

MBL shows a rise in profits for the 9 months ended September 2009. The profit before tax has
risen by 44% to Rs 1.1 billion as compared to the 9 months ended 2008. While for the same
period, the profit after tax rose by 24% to Rs 654 million. This increase in overall profitability
of the firm for the 3 quarters till September 2009 can be attributed to the massive 208% rise in
total other income from Rs 391 million to Rs 1.2 billion. For the period 3Q08, Total Other
Income made up only 15% of the 'Net Spread after Provisions + Total Other Income' figure.
But this percentage composition changed significantly during 3Q09 to 33.5%. This sharp
increase is due to a whooping 220% rise in the 'Income from Dealing in Foreign Currencies'
from Rs 194 million to Rs 621 million. However, it is important to note that although the
growth rates of 'Net Spread after Provisions + Total Other Income' and 'Total Other Expenses'
for 3Q09 are 40% and 38% respectively (in comparison to 3Q08) depicting a difference of a
mere 2%, the profit before tax has still gone up by 44%. This is because the profit figures are
still not very high in absolute terms and even a small increase can appear in the form of high
percentage growth.
The asset quality has been strengthened as the bank took some wise steps to improve the
coverage of the non-performing portfolio. Further provision of Rs 1,254 million was made
during the current 9 months compared to a charge of Rs 254 million in the corresponding
period of last year. Administrative and Operating Expenses increased from Rs 1,826 million to
Rs 2,531 million primarily due to higher staff expenses, rent and cost associated with branch
expansion. The bank further plans to open 34 new branches by the end of December 2009
despite current economic and political turmoil, which would increase the total number of
branches to 201.
The total assets crossed an important milestone of Rs 100 billion whilst PAT rose by 24%.
This growth has been spurred by the increase in the MBL's branch network as a result of which
deposits increased from Rs 70.2 billion to Rs 87.7 billion, an increase of 33% on an annualized
basis which is substantially higher than the annualized deposit growth of 12.65% recorded by

banks exchange cheques and other negotiable instruments draw on each other within a specified
area and thereby secure payment for their client through the clearing house which is in State
Bank of Pakistan at specified time in an efficient way.
Advantages of Clearing
1. Since clearing does not involve any cash etc and all the transaction takes place through
book entries, the number of transactions can be unlimited.
2. No cash is needed; as such the risks of robbery, embezzlements and pilferage are totally
eliminated.
3. As major payments are made through clearing, the banks can manage cash payment at the
counters with a minimum amount of cash in vaults.
4. A lot of time, cost and labour are saved.
Clearing House
It is a place where representatives of all scheduled banks sit together and interchange their claims
against each other with the help of controlling staff of State Bank of Pakistan and where there is
no branch of State Bank of Pakistan the designated branch of National Bank of Pakistan acts as
controlling member.
The cheque delivered to the representatives of other banks for clearing is called outward
clearing, whereas cheques received from the representatives of other banks for payment are
called inward clearing.
NIFT

Direct send to relevant Branch
NIFT
This procedure is used when the bills are of those cities where NIFT doesn't provide its services
or the respective cities contains MBL branch.
The bills, which are received by the bank from other branches out of the city for local clearing,
are called Inward Bills for Collection. It can also be done in three ways:
NIFT
Through MBL branch

schedule is received by NIFT

SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths
Meezan have moved rapidly in expanding branches network nationally and internationally. More
than 200 branches are working presently throughout Pakistan under conventional and Islamic
banking divisions.
Very strengthful aspect of the business of the bank is that it has more deposit base which is very
important and giving a strong base to the foundations of the banking business.
Profitable advances is again a very prominent feature in a sense that the customers are satisfied
rather the bank is not so strong if issuing more loans but according to the policies and
been growing since last few years and is very curious in increasing the range of products, thus
Again as a business entity bank has to improve the status of the services provided to its customers
so that they should prefer themselves as well as they must advertise the bank in the market
Transparency in customer dealings is the strength of bank in the sense that they do never deceive
Provides the complete range of financial services to all segments under one roof.
Customers refer other people to enjoy different schemes and open their accounts.
Weaknesses
The majority of people are not well aware about the products of Bank Meezan.
There should be advertisements especially for home, agri & car loans, Credit Cards.
Bank official time of closing is 6:00 pm but due Mismanagement of time employees leave their
entrance where they have to move, concerned person and department, teach how to fill forms,
The customer have to wait at peak hours on the counter for deposit
Cultural values are somewhere strong and somewhere are very weak
Opportunities
The policies of the new government to uplift the economy and pursue financial sector reforms are
expected to yield positive results in the banking industry of the country. The Bank Meezan is very
As a result of the different steps taken by the Government regarding the betterment of the
economy, small borrowers are attracted to get the financing and start small businesses. So, the
Bank Meezan has an opportunity to attract the customers by giving them attractive schemes.
The need of privatization has made people to switch to banks to satisfy their needs of lending and
borrowing. This not only increases the deposits but also the credit business.
improve in IT stock exchange is very volatile and takes immediate effect so in times of crises
Threats
Bank Meezan has many competitors who are continuously increasing their products and marketing
aggressively it may cause its customer to shift to its competitors. The Competition has become
severe by the entrants of so many banks, So to exist one will have to prove himself in its services
through excellent management and will have to satisfy its shareholders. Otherwise he will be out
the market.
The decrease purchasing power of consumer in the current economic situation of the country
affecting the business activity speed too much and the result is the low investment from the
investors in new projects can create problem for the bank because it is working a lot in trade.
The privatization of other banks is also a threat for the Bank. Due to the privatization of the
different bank e.g. MCB; the competition has increased a lot. Furthermore many private banks
have come in the sector due to which it is becoming more difficult day by day to attract the
customers.
The biggest threat in the banking sector is the continuous downfall of the country economy since
the last few years. If this downfall remains for more few years then it may be the great hindrance in
This is a routine practice that in order to give personalized services to the customer, bank staff tries
to fill all the columns of AOF with their own handwriting, which is wrong. AOF must be filled in by
the customers. Bankers should avoid to fill in the AOF because it can create problem if the
address, title of account or any other information provided by the customer has not been written
properly. Customer may be affected or he may claim that the information was not provided by him,
Under no circumstances chequebook should be given to the customer if the account formalities are
incomplete.
There are two officers involved in cash deposit process, which is time consuming. Cashier should
Similarly, there are two officers involved in cheque payment process, which is time consuming.
Cashier should be given certain powers to pay cheques up to Rs. 25000/- to provide prompt
services.
Cheques, which are drawn on Bank Meezan Branch and returned unpaid in clearing, are not
reflected in the statement of account of the customers. These cheques must be reflected in the
Audit should be held internally, rather there should be an audit department in the branch to make
audit on daily basis. This can become so, helpful as a different banks are having this department of
their own.
Demand draft issuance procedure is very time consuming, as the has to wait for than almost half
an hour to get a Demand Draft. This operation must be one window operation.
ATM machine is almost out of order most of the times. This facility is very important to provide to
the customers as they want to cash the money in no time and this is also not worthy for the bank
that its employees are using the ATMs of MCB or PICIC bank for the delivery of cash.
No nameplates for the employees therefore customer can’t know the designation and name of any
