INTRODUCTION
Banking sector owes a pivotal importance in the economy of any country through its vibrant functions. A bank is a financial institution that offers the widest range of financial services. These financial institutions play a vital role throughout the worlds economic system. The banking structure of Pakistan consists of State Bank of Pakistan, Commercial Banks, Exchange Banks, Cooperative Banks, Saving Banks and Specialized Credit Institution. Banking means the accepting of money from public, in shape of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment, repayable on demand or otherwise, and withdrawal by cheques, drafts, and pay order The Pakistani banking sector mounted an overall recovery drive, increasing its asset base by approximately 8% during the year . However, credit and business conditions are likely to remain fragile, driven by the government's weak fiscal position and the subdued investment climate. Furthermore, downside risks may further weigh on the banks' operating environment over the period. However, despite the material risks, no further major deterioration in asset quality is expected over the coming period. NPLs are also expected to have peaked at around 16% of total lending by yearend 2011, from 15.3% at end-June 2011. Short-term economic growth, lower interest rates and de-risking of the banks' loan book will drive stabilization in asset-quality metrics. Recognizing the system's structural challenges the Bank as a policy opted for and benefited from sound funding profiles and low-cost current and savings account deposits, which increased to 67% of total deposits or 56% of total liabilities at end-June 2011. The Banks reliance on market and foreign funding also remained minimal. The year 2011 remained fraught with challenges for Pakistan, the core issues which affected Pakistan s economy and were also identified in the Economic Survey issued by the Government included persistent and high inflation, low growth, lesser in revenue collection compared to budget figure leading to a

high fiscal deficit which continues to add to the overall debt along with a fall in the investments. All these factors, combined with the global economic slowdown and rise in global fuel prices have further complicated the issues and economic scenario. The economic development of Pakistan remained under pressure due to the deterioration of major macroeconomic factors. Industrial production and creation of new capacity was negatively impacted by the almost continuous energy crisis throughout the year and the insistent circular debt issue remained an area of concern. The decline in foreign direct investments because of unsafe security situation, along with high inflation and a mounting fiscal deficit remain threats to the macroeconomic stability of the country. T o provide relief to the people and businesses, the SBP reduced the discount rate to around 12% per annum in line with reduction of inflation rate during the year . During the period agriculture sector posted real growth of 1.2% and after suffering consecutive quarterly deficits, industrial production surged to grow at a robust pace in the last quarter of the year. Remittance inflows to Pakistan also rose by an estimated 25 % in 2011 over and above 2010 inflows and touched almost US $ 12 billion constituting almost 4.8% of Pakistans GDP. HISTORY Summit Bank Ltd is one of the fastest growing commercial banks of Pakistan, which, in a very short span of time, has expanded its network across the country and built an infrastructure based on state of the art Risk Management Framework as well as IT platform. Also targeting to be a universal bank in terms of providing products and services in all key segments of banking i.e. Corporate and Investment Banking, Trade Finance, Commercial Mid Market / SMEs, and Consumer Banking, it commenced its operations in August 2006. The Pakistan operations of Rupali Bank Limited were acquired by Arif Habib Securities Limited under the Scheme of Amalgamation approved by the State Bank of Pakistan. The name of Rupali Bank Ltd was subsequently changed to Arif Habib Rupali Bank Ltd and then finally to Arif Habib Bank Ltd in October 2007. On 31st March 2010, Suroor Investments Ltd, a company incorporated in Mauritius, acquired 59.41% stake in Arif Habib Bank Ltd from Arif Habib Securities Ltd, and on 18th August 2010, Arif Habib Bank Ltd was rebranded as Summit Bank Ltd.

Suroor Investments Ltd. also entered into share purchase agreements (SPAs) with majority shareholders of MyBank Ltd and Atlas Bank Ltd, who after completion of the transactions have merged in Summit Bank Ltd expanding the Banks geographical outreach with a network of 166 Real Time Online branches across the country. In line with the managements vision of making this bank a front runner amongst its peer banks, this merger has brought synergies and access to a wider range of markets and customers. By acquiring one of the best IT platforms of the world, offering web and SMS based banking to the customers besides providing superior MIS to the Management; the Bank is committed to be recognized as a preferred supplier of financial services to the markets it serves. To achieve these goals, the Bank will strengthen itself in the financial service industry, leverage optimal mix of technology to attain operating cost efficiencies, achieve product and service differentiation, while at the same time growing its footprint through further expansion of its branch network across the country. BUSINESS AND BRANCH NETWORK After the completion of the merger processes, the Summit Bank Limited is now operating with the network of 165 branches all over Pakistan offering a wide range of products and services to its customers and the community at large. Consequent to the merger of the three banks, multiple branches in the same vicinity have been relocated to the strategic locations. This not only widened the Banks presence in more areas but also reduced the annual rental cost by 53 million approximately. Summit Bank Limited launched new products and services, during the year 2011. The e-banking services were introduced that satisfied the needs of different customer segments. The Bank also successfully entered the VISA International network by August 2011. Besides broadening the Banks sources of foreign exchange and income, our entry into the VISA network means that owners of VISA-branded cards issued anywhere in the world can now, without restriction, enjoy the convenience of having access to local currency funds at all A TMs of the Bank. The internet banking facility of the Bank continues to provide immense convenience to both personal and business clients who need to regularly access and monitor their transactions. The Internet Banking service now provides customers the ease of being able to make transfers to other accountholders in the ease and comfort of their own homes or offices FUTURE OUTLOOK

The bank has ambitious but realistic plans for the future; it intends to focus on widening and diversifying its customer base, introduce new and innovative products/services including tailored services to meet specific needs of the individual clients. The bank will continue to provide and improve its technological base and introduce the state-of-the-art banking products and solutions. It will also further improve its existing e-banking services to facilitate its customers. After successfully handling the merger related issues the management is geared to take advantage of its new broader branch network and create new synergies through consolidation process. The bank is now well placed and has the requisite capacities to move forward towards realizing its vision and achieving long term strategic growth.

DEPARTMENTS AT SHIKARPUR ROAD BRANCH, SUKKUR.

Following departments operates in Summit Bank Limited; Shikarpur Road Sukkur Branch: Customer Services Department Cash Department Clearing Department Local Remittance Department Marketing Department

CUSTOMER SERVICES DEPARTMENT

The department that is responsible for opening and closing of an account assumes immense significance and holds a central place in the basic banking operations. In this department I worked under CSO, Miss Nadia Jatoi; who taught me about following areas of her department: PROCEDURE OF OPENING AN ACCOUNT The Account Opening Form: When a client comes to the bank, and makes a request for opening of an A/C. The officer first gave him a prescribed application form. Completion of the Form: 35

The name, occupation, and complete address of the person opening the account are written in the columns provided in the form. One signature of the person is taken on the face of the form and one is taken on the backside. These signatures should be usual signatures and he would operate the account with them in future. Specimen Signature Card (S. S. Card): The signatures of the client are obtained on a specimen Signature card. These cards are obtained in duplicate with two signatures on each card from the customer. Every time a cheque is received for a payment from the client, the signature on the cheques are verified by comparing them with the S.S. Card. Issuance of Account Number: When all the formalities are completed then the final approval of account has to be taken from the Branch Manager. After obtaining approval of the branch manager an account number is allotted to the customer and all the information is entered into the computer. Then that account number is printed on the Cheque Book, S. S. cards and account opening form. Issuance of a Cheques book: After opening an A/C with the bank, the A/C holder once again makes a request in the name of bank for the issuance of a cheques book. The A/C holder mentions title of A/C, A/C number, sign it properly and mentions the no of leaves he requires. Normally Summit Bank issues a cheques book having at least 25 leaves. Every cheques book also contains one leaf that is used for another issue of a cheques book Entry of Cheque Book: Before issuance of a cheques book, the employee performs certain functions. They include: Stamping every leaf if the account is photo account Enters it in the Cheque book issue register. After entry in the manual register, and in the system the employee issues the cheque book to the A/C holder after his/her signature on the register. Recording in Computer: After opening of account, all information regarding the account is entered into the computer. Currently, a program named hplus is being used for this purpose. Record of all the transactions regarding the account of a customer is kept updated in the computer.

PROCEDURE FOR CLOSING AN ACCOUNT The procedure followed for the purpose of closure of an account is described in the following steps The client who wishes to close an account first has to give an application, duly signed on the pre-printed application of the bank. The client has to attach this application with the liability form. The client can also give an application on a plain paper, but correct signatures are very necessary. Then it has to be made sure that if the account to be closed is a saving or Foreign Currency Account then the account balance before closing should be zero. In case of these types of accounts the bank does not take any closing charges. If a client wishes to close a current account then the bank charges Rs.150, so at the time of closing the balance should be Rs.150. Along with the application to close the account clients Cheque book is also received from him and then it is destroyed in order to prevent any misuse in the future. A liability form is filled and sent to the Trade Finance Department and Credit Department in order to check that the customer does not owe the bank a single penny in any regard. A debit voucher and a credit voucher are also attached to the liability form. When both of these departments approve that the customer does not owe any money to the bank and the form is returned to the account opening department then the original account opening form pasted in the ledger when the account was opened is marked account closed along with the date on which it is so marked. One thing has to be taken into immediate consideration that the account number allotted to the client (who has closed his account), after closure of the account becomes useless and is not allotted to any one in the future. After approval of the liability form, it is sent to either the Foreign Currency Accounts Departments or the Cash Department, as the case may be so that the officer who scanned it in the first place could return the specimen signature card to the account-opening department. Once the S. S. Card is received back from the concerned official then the liability form, the clients application along with the 37

specimen signature card is pasted in the ledger right along side the original account opening form. The form has to be pasted with the original account opening form even if the account was opened a decade ago. In the computer as well all the entries and records related to that particular account are permanently deleted by using the close account option. CAPTURED ATM CARDS ATM cards when captured in ATM of SMBL are returned to the concerned customer on verification. In both cases, either the customer belongs to SMBL or any other bank, CNIC copy is demanded from customer for bank record, CSO fills the ATM captured card form and customer signs that form in presence of CSO. For the record purpose, ATM cards copy is also kept with bank. If within seven days from captured card day, customer dont contacts with bank, then bank is responsible to dispatch ATM card to concerned banks Regional\Head Office.

CASH DEPARTMENT
This department of bank is mainly responsible for the handling of cash deposits and encashment of cheques issued by the account holders. I worked in this department under Head Teller Mr. Naseem Ahmed Jamali; who taught me that how to deposit cash in customers accounts, how to encash cheques, and also taught me that how to transfer funds from one account to another account. In case of Cheque of other bank, which is deposited by customer in his SMBL account, is sent for clearing to concern bank. I also learn about sorting of cash, counting cash, opening balance of cash, and day-end closing of cash in this department. Utility Bills are also accepted in this department, proper entries are made on the system hplus. After accepting the bill, the bill is stamped with Summit Bank Limited stamp. I also learned that how to issue payorder and demand draft.

CLEARING DEPARTMENT
One of the basic economic functions of banks is to receive deposits and to honor cheques drawn upon them. So, cheques are a most 38

commonly used instrument for making payments by account holders. Now the question arises that how these cheques & other negotiable instruments drawn on one bank are deposited in other banks and money is transferred from one bank to another. Clearing House has provided this facility. Clearing house facilitates different banks to get their cheques drawn upon other banks to be cleared. Cheques lodged in clearing constitute two types of clearing Outward Clearing Inward Clearing OUTWARD CLEARING When cheques and other negotiable instruments drawn upon other banks like MCB, ABN-AMRO of the same city (as Sukkur) are presented in Summit Bank Limited to deposit them in the respective payees accounts, these instruments are lodged in outward clearing of summit Bank limited. When the cheques are presented in Summit Bank to be deposited in their respective payees accounts, different stamps are put on cheques before their lodgment in outward clearing. Crossing the Cheques Crossing means two parallel transverse lines, drawn across the face of the cheques with or without words written in between them. Crossing may be general or special. In clearing, cheques are crossed specially. Cheques are stamped with banks name between two transverse parallel lines to constitute special crossing. After the cheques have been crossed specially, the holder cannot receive payment except through the banker named on the cheques. Basic advantage of crossing is to save the instrument to go it from illegal hands. If, crossed cheques is lost or stolen, there is no risk of wrong payment. So it is an effective means of minimizing the risk of loss or forgery. Clearing Stamp After the cheques have been crossed specially, clearing stamp is put on the cheques and other instruments, with the following days date, as these cheques would have to be presented in their concerned drawee banks on the subsequent day.

39

Endorsement Stamp It means anything written or printed upon the back of an instrument. So, at the end, the cheques are endorsed in full (endorsed specially) by putting the stamp with words describing Payees account Credited in Summit Bank Limited, Shikarpur Road Branch Sukkur. After putting these three stamps on cheques & other negotiable instruments, they are sent to NIFT (National Institutional Facilitation Authority) with Add List. NIFT after segregating the cheques of different banks delivers them to their concerned banks, which constitute the inward clearing for those (drawee) banks. INWARD CLEARING Cheques and other negotiable instruments (PO, DD etc.) drawn on Summit Bank Limited, Sukkur, sent by other banks, constitutes the inward clearing of Summit Bank. After having all the stamps and dates of cheques confirmed, the concerned drawers accounts are debited (in Summit Bank Limited) and main branchs account is credited by the total amount. COLLECTION (OBC) When cheques and other negotiable instruments drawn upon other banks outside the city (Sukkur) are presented in Summit Bank Limited, Shikarpur Road Branch, Sukkur to deposit in payees accounts, then instead of clearing, these instruments are lodged in collection and constitute Outward Bills for Collection OBC. Cheques of cities, where Summit Bank Limited branch exists (e.g. Islamabad, Faisalabad etc.) are sent to that branch where these cheques are lodged in is outward clearing. Otherwise, they are directly sent to the drawee bank. Postage & other charges are deducted on account of payee according to Schedule of Charges.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Strengths BAL-IBD is that Pakistan Credit Rating Agency Bank has been

40

awarded an AA-and A1+ (A one plus) in the long and short term respectively. Strength is shown from its ratios in most of the ratios it is better than others. Strength is that assets are increasing and the major asset cash and lending to financial institutions are increasing which shows the strength. Earning to total assets is also improving from previous year and it is somewhat different from others. BAL-IBD has strong online network system. WEAKNESSES As I have thoroughly study the Banks management and financial there is no such major weak point but one point is that there liabilities are increasing from year to year and in 2005 it become very high as compared to the previous year. Another is Bank is decreasing which in my opinion is a weak point. Equity to total assets is decreasing from previous year. OPPORTUNITIES As far as opportunities are concerned BAL-IBD is growing day by day and its profits are increasing it has an opportunity to develop more branches to expand the business. And there is acceptance of its services so Bank has to increase its services to meet its customers needs. THREATS There is an increase in the debts of Bank so this can be a threat for the Bank and they should look upon this.

CONCLUSIONS

There is lowest branch network of Summit Bank Ltd.

Schemes are not properly advertised so that the target market does not know about facilities offered by it.

41

There is no training program for employees to equip them and warm from latest information.

No bonus is given to employees.

SUGGESTIONS
New branches should be open in every corner of the country, for the purpose to serve maximum number of customers.

42

 Time to time, print or electronic advertising must be given by leading networks of country about the organization/about the new products/services, to aware the customers. Training programs must be organized on head office level for the employees, not in branches; because branch staff is busy in their work then how can they train new appointed employees. Bonus must be given to employees, at least once a year Festival Allowance on Eid should be given.
