The word 'Bank' is said to have been derived from the words Bancus or Banque or Bank. This history of banking is traced to as early as 2000 B.C. Talking about commercial banking in Pakistan It was very difficult for Pakistan to build up its own Banking system immediately after independence without sufficient resources. By 30th June 1948 the number of schedule banks in Pakistan declined from mere scratch. Today there are more than 7000 branches of commercial banks along with an established network of supplementary financial institutions. All this development in the banking sector is the result of untiring efforts of six decades. HBL was the first commercial 5 Habib Bank Limited Internship Report bank to be established in Pakistan in 1947. Over the years, HBL has grown its branch network and become the largest private sector bank with over 1,450 branches across the country and a customer base exceeding five million relationships. On December 29, 2003 Pakistan's Privatization Commission announced that the Government of Pakistan had formally granted the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED) rights to 51% of the shareholding in HBL, against an investment of PKR 22.409 billion (USD 389 million). This report contains information about HBL’s board of directors, management, mission, vision and values. HBL’s operations are discussed in light of its working department in the branches like cash, clearing, foreign exchange and accounts department and also in light of its services and products which it is offering to customers’ weather they are individual, business, corporate or agriculture field related customers. HBL is currently offering phone banking, internet banking and various cash management services for the facilitation of its customers. HBL’s car to car loan has its own uniqueness in Pakistan’s banking sector. HBL’s branch network is extended all over the Pakistan which has its competitive edge over all other private sector banks in Pakistan. During the time of my internship in Habib Bank NMC branch Multan I got the chance to work in all the departments of HBL working there. Duties and 6 Habib Bank Limited Internship Report learning in each department is given in this report. Talking about financial performance of the bank in 2010 all the financial indicators are showing positive results. During this year HBL also won some awards. At the end of this report I have given my suggestion for the improvement of the bank. Evolution of Banking The word 'Bank' is said to have been derived from the words Bancus or Banque or Bank. This history of banking is traced to as early as 2000 B.C. The priests in Greece used to keep money and valuables of the people in temples. These priests thus acted as financial agents. The origin of banking is also traced to early goldsmiths. They used to keep strong safes for storing the money and valuables of the people. The persons who had surplus money found it safe and convenient of deposit their valuables with them. The first stage in the development of modern banking, thus, was the accepting of deposits of cash from those persons who had surplus money with them. The goldsmiths used to issue receipts for the money deposited with them. These receipts began to pass from hand to hand in settlement of transactions because people had confidence in the integrity and solvency of goldsmiths. When it was found that these receipts were fully accepted in payment of debts; then the receipts were drawn in such a way that it entitled any holder to claim the specified amount of money from goldsmiths. A depositor who is to make the payments may 7 Habib Bank Limited Internship Report now get the money in cash from goldsmiths or pay over the receipt to the creditor. These receipts were the earlier bank notes. The second stage in the development of banking thus was the issue of bank notes. The goldsmiths soon discovered that all the people who had deposited money with them do not come to withdraw their funds in cash. They found that only a few persons presented the receipts for encashment during a given period of time. They also found that most of the money deposited with them was lying idle. At the same time; they found that they were being constantly requested for loan on good security. They thought it profitable to lend at least some of the money deposited with them to the needy persons. This proved quite a profitable business for the_ goldsmiths. They instead of charging safe keeping charges from the depositors began to give them interest on the money deposited with them. This was the third stage in the development of banking.
