8. Introduction of Banking Sector
Many of today’s banking services were first practiced in ancient Lydia,
Phoenicia, China, and Greece, where trade and commerce flourished. The temples in
Babylonia made loans from their treasuries as early as 2000 BC. The temples of
ancient Greece served as safe-deposit vaults for the valuables of worshipers. The
Greeks also coined money and developed a system of credit. The Roman Empire had
a highly developed banking system, and its bankers accepted deposits of money, made
loans, and purchased mortgages. Shortly after the fall of Rome in AD 476, banking
declined in Europe.
The first bank to offer most of the basic banking functions known today was
the Bank of Barcelona in Spain. Founded by merchants in 1401, this bank held
deposits, exchanged currency, and carried out lending operations. It also is believed to
have introduced the bank check. Three other early banks, each managed by a
committee of city officials, were the Bank of Amsterdam (1609), the Bank of Venice
(1587), and the Bank of Hamburg (1619). These institutions laid the foundation for
modern banks of deposit and transaction.
For more than 300 years, banking on the European continent was in the hands
of powerful statesmen and wealthy private bankers, such as the Medici family in
Florence and the Fuggers in Germany. During the 19th century, members of the
Rothschild family became the most influential bankers in all Europe and probably in
the world. This international banking family was founded by German financier Mayer
Amschel Rothschild (1743-1812), but it soon spread to all the major European
financial capitals.
3
The Bank of France was organized in 1800 by Napoleon. The bank had
become the dominant financial institution in France by the mid-1800s. In Germany,
banking experienced a rapid development about the middle of the 19th century with
the establishment of several strong stocks issuing, or publicly owned banks.
Banking in the British Isles originated with the London goldsmiths of the 16th
century. These men made loans and held valuables for safekeeping. By the 17th
century English goldsmiths created the model for today’s modern fractional reserve
banking—that is, the practice of keeping a fraction of depositors’ money in reserve
while extending the remainder to borrowers in the form of loans. Customers deposited
gold and silver with the goldsmiths for safekeeping and were given deposit receipts
verifying their ownership of the gold deposited with the goldsmith. These receipts
could be used as money because they were backed by gold. But the goldsmiths soon
discovered that they could take a chance and issue additional receipts against the gold
to other people who needed to borrow money. This worked as long as the original
depositors did not withdraw all their gold at one time. Hence, the amount of receipts
or claims on the gold frequently exceeded the actual amount of the gold, and the idea
that bankers could create money was born.
As the government’s banker, the central bank can act as the repository for
government receipts, as the collection agent for taxes, and as the auctioneer for
government debt. It can also act as a lender to the government and as the
government’s advisor on financial matters. As the banker for the country’s banks, the
central bank can act as the repository for bank reserves, as the supervisor and
regulator of banks, as the facilitator of interbank services such as check clearing and
4
money transfers, and as a lender when banks need money to honor deposit
withdrawals or other needs for liquidity.
As the country’s monetary policymaker, the central bank controls the amount
of credit and money available, the level of interest rates, and the exchange rate (the
rate at which one nation’s currency can be exchanged for another nation’s). To
achieve its monetary policy objectives, central bankers use a combination of policy
tools. For example, the central bank may increase or decrease the amount of money
(coin and currency) in circulation by buying or selling government debt instruments,
such as bonds, on the open market. This policy tool is known as open market
operations. Since interest rates are usually related to how much money and credit are
available in the economy, the central bank can usually lower interest rates by buying
bonds from the public with money. This increases the amount of money in the
economy and lowers interest rates. To raise rates, the authority would sell bonds,
thereby reducing the amount of money available to the public. The central bank could
also cause a lowering or raising of interest rates by increasing or decreasing the
amount of money banks must hold as a reserve against their deposits. By increasing
reserves, the central bank forces banks to hold more money in their vaults, which
means they can lend less money. Less money available for loans makes loans harder
to get which, in turn, causes banks and other lenders to raise interest rates on loans.
Because central banks control the money supply, there is always the danger
that central banks will simply create more money and then lend it to the government
to finance its expenditures. This often leads to excessive money creation and inflation
(a continuous increase in the prices of goods), which can be caused by having too
much money available to purchase goods. Inflation occurred in the United States
when the government printed Continental dollars to pay for the Revolutionary War.
So many were printed that they became worthless, and a popular slogan of the day
was “It’s not worth a Continental.” The danger of inflation is particularly acute in
countries where the government owns the central bank. Government ownership of the
central bank is illegal in the United States, except in national emergencies. European
5
countries agreed in the Maastricht Treaty of 1992 not to allow central banks to lend
money to their governments.
8.2. On –Line Resources
Automated teller machine
In recent years, banks have made their services increasingly convenient
through electronic banking. Electronic banking uses computers to carry out transfers
of money. For example, automated teller machines (ATMs) enable bank customers to
withdraw money from their checking or savings accounts by inserting an ATM card
and a private electronic code into an ATM. The ATMs enable bank customers to
access their money 24 hours a day and seven days a week wherever ATMs are
located. The card issued for use in ATMs is also called as Debit Card.
Credit card
Credit Card is the card that identifies its owner as one who is entitled to credit
when purchasing goods or services from certain establishments. Credit cards
originated in the 1930s; their use was wide-spread by the 1950s. They are issued by
many businesses serving the consumer, such as oil companies, retail stores and chain
stores, restaurants, hotels, airlines, car rental agencies and banks. Some credit cards
are honored in a single store, but others are general-purpose cards, for use in a wide
variety of establishments. Bank credit cards, are examples of the general purpose
card. Establishments dispensing almost every form of product or service are honoring
such cards, and now credit cards, someway or the other have eliminated the need for
carrying cash.
Online payments
Payments are sent to the other branches in the same city or in the other cities
using computers; this transaction is called as online payment – one of the new and
main resources of the banks. A one window operation in which the customer just have
to fill up an online voucher and sent the money to any location within 5 min. paying
some service charges to the bank.
6
Telephonic transfer
Well old fashion in banking field. Telephonic transfer also called (T.T). In this
proceeduring is this that if any one wants to pay money somewhere he just have to fill
up a form and submit the amount to be transferred into the bank, the banks then
transfer the amount telephonically to the respective location. Now this trend is no
more used in modern banking.
Mail transfer
Again an old fashion in banking. M.T is the procedure of transferring amount
via mail. The mail delivery could be through courier companies, airships, railways or
any other mailing facility. It is very costly and time taking activity and is no more
practiced in modern banking today.

At the time, the Bank’s total assets amounted to Rs. 0.572 million. Today,
Allied Bank's paid up Capital & Reserves amount to Rs. 10.5 billion, deposits exceed
Rs. 143 billion and total assets equal Rs. 170 billion. The Bank’s journey has been
about dedication, commitment, professionalism and adapting to environmental
changes, leading to its immense growth and stability. It is these factors that have made
it a Bank the rest look up to.
Mr. S.R. Jar Walla (sitting in the center). A legendary figure in the history of
the Bank. It was particularly upsetting for Khawaja Bashir Bux to hear that “Muslims
could not be successful bankers”. He decided to step-up to that challenge and takes
the lead in establishing this first Muslim bank by the name Australasia Bank Limited
in Punjab, which was to become Pakistan in December 1942. The initial equity of the
Bank amounted to Rs 0.12 million, which was raised to Rs. 0.5 million by the end of
the first year of operation, and by the end of 30th June 1947 capital increased to Rs.
0.673 million and deposits raised to Rs 7.728 million.

Kasur. Later, the network spread to Multan and Quetta as well. The Bank financed
trade in cloth and food grains thus, played an important role in maintaining consumer
supplies during the early months of 1948 affected by riots. Despite the difficult
conditions prevailing and the substantial set back in the Bank’s business in India,
Australasia Bank made a profit of Rs. 50,000 during 1947-48.
By the end of 1970 it had 101 branches. Unfortunately, it lost 51 branches in the
separation of East Pakistan. But the Bank did well despite losing a lot of its assets and
by the end of 1973 had 186 branches in West Pakistan.
10
In August 2004, as a result of capital reconstruction, the Bank’s
ownership was transferred to a consortium comprising Ibrahim Leasing Limited and
Ibrahim Today, the Bank stands on a solid foundation built over 63 years of hard
work and dedication, giving it a strong equity, an asset and deposit base and the
ability to offer customers universal banking services with more focus on retail
banking. The Bank has the largest network of online branches in Pakistan and offers
various technology-based products and services to its diverse clientele through more
than 700 branches. Group
2005 TO DATE
In May 2005, Ibrahim Leasing Limited dissolved and the company was
vested into Allied Bank Limited. ALL the shareholders were issued ABL shares
instead of the all shares held by them. An application for the listing of ABL shares in
all the Stock Exchange Companies of Pakistan was made; ABL was formally listed
and the Bank’s share trading began on the following dates:

15.1. Account opening department
Deposit is the amount of money kept by the customer with the
bank. When a bank receives deposit from a customer, the relationship of a debtor and
a creditor is established whereby the customer becomes the creditor, and the bank a
debtor. When the bank receives the amount of deposit as a debtor, it becomes the
owner of it. It may, therefore, use it as it deems appropriate. But there is an implicit
agreement that the amount owned will be paid back by the bank to the depositor on
demand or after a specified time period.

Collection of instruments drawn on other branches of the same bank or any

35
suppose a party gives a cheque, issued from an out of the city bank or branch of our
bank, to deposit in his account. Bank gives a receipt to the customer and cheque is
given to bills department. In this department the cheque is registered to OBC register.
A preprinted schedule is attached to the cheque and it is sent to the drawee branch. If
the cheque is issued by ABL branch our branch will send it to ABL drawee branch
directly. If the cheque is drawn from a bank other than ABL, then our branch will

Analytical Comments:
The factors affecting on the different earnings of the bank are its main sources, such
as deposits, shares etc.The growth during the five years is increasing with different
prices. Similarly the growth of ABL in 2008 is greater than previous years. This
shows that the economic recovery is slower due to political/security situations or
delays in external flows can lower our assumption of credit off take.
In 2005 it increased by 23% than 2004, but in 2006 it is increased by 11%, in 2007 it
is decreased by 8% and in 2008 it also decreased by 13%.These are all %ages solved
by the previous years.

24. Ratio Analysis
Ratio analysis helps us in determining a logical relationship
between different heads of income statement and balance sheet. This logical
relationship is helpful in making various useful interpretations about the financial
position of the bank, liquidity of the bank and most of all the profitability of its
operations. Following ratios have been calculated:
The information contained in the four
basic financial statements is of major significance to various interested parties who
regularly need to have relative measures of the company’s operating efficiency.
Relative is the key word here, because the analysis of financial statements is based on
the use of ratios or relative values. Ratio analysis involves methods of calculating and
interpreting financial ratios to analyze and monitor the firm’s performance. The basic
inputs to ratio analysis are the firm’s income statement and balance sheet.
Ratio tells that on what percentage earning assets contribute the total assets.
well bank also has increased it’s earning assets ratio shows the more profitability of
the bank as it can be shown by the profit and loss account of the 2008 that shows the
net mark up income more for the year as compared to the previous year so bank is
going gradually to the more profitability by giving more advances and loans.

4. Equity Capital to Total Assets
Equity to total assets is a common measure used to analyze capital adequacy of
a bank. Well bank has increased its capital adequacy ratio in the year.
But bank’s total assets has increased but increase in the equity is so small because of
less profit in the year and this less profit is due to more provisions.
So this has not a so much impact on the profitability of the bank the result of
this ratio if viewed properly proved to be satisfactory.
2004
Equity Capital to Total Assets = Total equity / total assets
= 10,255,844 / 154,926,483
= 0.0662
2005
Equity Capital to Total Assets = Total equity / total assets
= 13,035,236 / 192,169,660

2008
Deposit Times Capital =Deposit / capital
= 297,475,321 / 6,463,644
= 46.02
6. Loan to Deposit
Well there is a concept that bank’s loans are its assets while its deposits are
liabilities. But if a bank has low deposits then obviously it will give low loans because
bank gives it’s loans by the deposits and earn on the loans then pay mark up on the
deposits to the customers.
Well bank has increased its loans to deposits ratio in the year 2006 showing its
more deposits as well more loans and that is good for the bank to remain in the market
and to penetrate in the market.
2004
Loan to Deposit =Loans / deposit

7. Current Ratio
This ratio indicates the liquidity of the bank. well this ratio has been increased
during the year to a small extent due to
Bank has increased its deposits so liabilities have been increased.
Bank has increased its assets as well to overcome the liabilities.
So overall we can say bank is the liquid enough to pay its liabilities

Comments:
In the competition of two banks MCB and BALF with the ABL, through their balance
sheet, the graphical represents shows the each bank’s situation. In this way MCB is at
very high position while ABL is on the second position and BALF is on third
position.
Each bank has its own sources of income; it includes its assets and liabilities. So MCB
has large assets and liabilities than the others two.
84
29. Future Prospects of the Organization
ABL operates through an extensive countrywide network of 766 branches of which
most are located in large metropolitan areas, namely Karachi, Islamabad, Faisalabad,
Lahore, Multan, Peshawar and Hyderabad.
ABL is a scheduled bank and provides retail, commercial, corporate banking and
investment banking services.
The Board and the management strongly believe that ethical corporate culture has a
positive impact on its long-term strategic success. The Bank is committed to
maintaining a strong corporate culture founded on ethical business principles and
moral values. The Bank will continue to strive for sustained growth and to become a
leader in the banking industry by undertaking a number of initiatives namely
i) Renovation of branches
ii) Launch of bank assurance products
iii) Aggressive Mobilization of Deposits with a focus on reducing cost
85
iv) Commencement of Asset management operations through a wholly owned
subsidiary.
Corporate governance is one of the top priorities of the Board of Directors and the
management. The Bank complies with all regulations of SBP and SECP and other
regulatory requirements. The Bank will also endeavor to implement international best
practices of governance and ensure transparency and safeguarding the rights of all the
stakeholders.
30. Weaknesses:
1. The Branch has a good staff combination on the basis of experience, but their
training capabilities are not up to the requirements of the fast changing banking
environment.
2. The controls of Heads are not effective.
3. In spite of the presence of technology many jobs are done manually.
4. ABL is not enhancing the new obligors.
5. Fewer incentives in back office as compared to the branches.
6. ABL credit group do not sanction the loan to the lawyers, politicians and the female
having no blood relative.
7. In back offices the employees are less so it creates more work burden on the
existing one.
8. The Organization is very much mechanistic and provides no flexibility to
encourage credibility.
86
31. Conclusion:
The Organization is well managed with the organized structure and efficient
employees. Due to its growth in online branch system, it has brought future in
financial organizations. It will produce more facility for employees and customers in
future.
87
32. Recommendations
1) When giving the loan, the Bank must carefully analyze the past six
months transaction history of the borrower. This will help in judging
the dealing behavior and financial status of the client. In most cases,
this thing is not properly done and it is the major reason of default of
many clients.
3) The Bank should have the moving cameras in their branches for security
purposes.
88
4) The Bank should try to give more loans to the small borrowers as the
past history shows that most of the loans given to the corporate
borrowers have converted into bad debts.
5) The Bank has a lot of financing schemes but there is very little
advertisement of these schemes. So Bank should increase its
advertisement.
6) When any one comes to operate the lockers, then the things which he
keeps in locker should be checked through metal detector for security
purposes.
8) Most of the bank employees are sticking to one seat only, with the result
that they become master of one particular job and loose their grip on
other banking operations. In my opinion all the employees should have
regular job experience all outÄlook towards banking. The promotion
policy should be adjusted.
9) Refresher courses for the staff are most important in any international
organization. All the employees should have these courses according to
their requirements. Foreign experts can also be called for this purpose.
10)Every year some of the employees should be sent for training to other
countries and employees from other branches should be brought here.
More reading material should be brought / provided in the reference
Room, it should be relevant and its purpose should be to educate the
employees with the advance studies in their field. The employees should
89
be provided the opportunities to attend and participate in seminars and
lectures on banking.
