CHAPTER 2
2. SWOT ANALYSIS
2.1. Introduction
SWOT stands for: S for Strengths; W for Weaknesses; O for Opportunities; and T for Threats.
SWOT Analysis is basically an effective technique of analyzing used to know the Strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the organization. By using this technique we can know
about organization internal strengths and weaknesses as well as external opportunities and
threats. SWOT analysis show overall situation of the organization, it shows where organization
stands now.
Respectable treatment with the customers. They believe that their customers are everything
to them. Therefore, there is respectable relation between management and their customers.
Good security arrangements at the bank. There are 3 security guards at the bank along with
the security cameras and security alarms showing that bank is secure and safe.
Attractive building and suitable working environment. The working environment is very
much feasible for work as everything that is required to perform tasks or activities of the
bank are available and accessible.
Properly set water cooling and domestic arrangements like canteen and rest rooms.
Availability of services like provision of tea to the customers. In order to maintain a long-
lasting relationship with their clients, they offer certain services to the customers like tea
showing that bank value their customers.
6
Customers’ privacy is taken care at bank. As it is the matter of their confidentially, so it is
never disclosed to anyone. However, after the death of the client, only necessary information
is available to its family after fulfilling the requirement of the bank.
Location of branch is commercially suitable. Basically, the branch is in the commercial area
i.e., Chakdara road near to tehsil road. So, it accessible for the customers to visit the banks
or could use its services quite easily.
The staff members are very corporative to each other as well to their clients, encourage a
friendly environment in which everyone is keen to help other.
Availability of safe lockers (Wikiwealth). The lockers at the bank are very safe as they have
triple security system and he doors of the locker are very heavy so on one can easy open it.
Specilly the Manger of this bank is very hardworking persnolity and He always want to
bring efficiency and effectiveness in working activities.
The branch is located in the center of all government and private institutions.
The staff of this bank is very active and fininshing their,s work on time.
The bank is also maintaining government Deposits like passport, ARM license, Utilities bills
etc.
Sometimes the customers are overburdened when it comes to processes like account
opening. The format of account opening form look like complicated.
Certain processes are too lengthy and time requiring therefore clients became exhausted
with such processes.
Operations department sometimes exceeds its stipulated working hours due work load.
Therefore, they are no able to attend their family occasions due to with they became
demotivated and frustrated.
7
High employee turnover. Due to poor evaluation system, only few employees get the
promotion or bounces that tease other employees who are equally working hard.
Little space for accommodation of customers when rush increases. As the bank is small as
the number of its customers so it get difficult to accommodate such large portion on clients
and the rush is usually increased at the starting dates on the month.
Recent renovation taking place in branch building was according to the new environment;
this may help in increasing the attraction for the customers.
Increased training period for employees to handle greater numbers of customers may be
introduced for better results.
All the required information for customers may be displayed on touch pads for easy
accessibility may also be introduces.
To arrange seminars for awareness of customers to know the Islamic banking system.
Competition! The branch is located in a highly commercial area where many other banks are
also functioning.
Changing regulations by the government may cause a threat to the smooth process of
banking e.g. Increased percentage of tax per transaction is imposed by the government but
8
the customers are not ready to welcome this change in percentage by any means. This leaves
the bank in a state of confusion weather to support the customer or to obey the govt.
Rapid changes in technology have to be inculcated promptly; a delay in this may cause lag
in competition with other banks.

CHAPTER 4
4. CONCLUSION
4.1. Conclusion
The U micro finance bank is not only a commercial bank but also an Islamic bank. As a U micro
finance bank has to do a lot of things for the betterment of the country. The Bank is strongly
positioned in the market and with its core strengths it can match shareholders' expectations and
thus raise their wealth in future through ethical banking and best pricing. Thus, it has to take
initiative so that it can fulfill the desire of the government as well as people. It will enhance more
public services and build up working teams to provide the best services to its valuable customers.
It must be run in organized way and discipline must be ensured in all sphere of its performance.
Efficient export team, import team and remittance team must be formed and perform duties
properly. More training, computerization, data collection, market analysis and swiftness in
servicing are essentially required. To do these the recommended suggestions can be used.
Although it is theoretical suggestions, it is not valueless. It has great impact on the banking
business and other sectors of the economy. For this, government help is essential and it is
expected that Govt will broaden its hand for implementing the recommendations for the welfare
of the people of Pakistan.
The branch should hire well and professional employees to work willingly and effectively in the
best interest of the organization or in the best interest of the owner.

SBP has a clearing house in which the delegates of all banks for settlement of the checks and
other monetary instruments. Clearing framework is useful for the time the time wild in
perspective of Bank just as customer. For bank, following are state of being an individual from

from nearby clearing house, sent for assortment by U-BANK branches not addressed at the
nearby clearing house.
Settlement is move of assets starting with one branch then onto the next part of same bank and
in my fourth week I had been work and find out about the settlement office. A settlement is
significant assistance given by the bank to the customer and furthermore for the non-customers.
Bank charge some help charges against the moving cash starting with one spot then onto the
next, so it is another kind of revenue for the bank.
In the settlement division I took in the follow things about settlement.

1. Vouchers for debit.
a) Cash vouchers.
b) Clearing vouchers.
These vouchers are used for all daily cash, transfer, and clearing transactions. On a sheet,
all of the vouchers that have been passed throughout a single working day are gathered and

Cash Book.

The format of the complete ledger above is nearly identical. A/C No., description, prior
Balance, Dr. Amount, Cr. Amount, and running balance are all listed in the general ledger.
a) General Ledger
b) Income Statement
c) Balance Sheet
I learned the advance work in the last week. The sum granted by the payer to the payee on
the promise of returning it at a later period with a specified rate of interest is referred to as an
advance. So, in the banking sector, an advance is a promise that the borrowed amount will be
paid back in installments in the future, plus a specified rate of interest. The advance is given to a
person in exchange for promising some form of security with banks, such as land with an equal
or extended amount pledged with the bank as advance security.
Demand finance is a sort of advance in which a bank makes a contract with a customer
that states, "In the future, I will offer you a contracted amount for your need at a fixed rate." This
bank will require security that is 100 percent equivalent to or more than the amount advanced. It
could take the form of a stock, a piece of land, or another financial instrument. If a customer
requests a $5 million advance, U-BANK will enter into contract with that customer to give the
24
cash when it is needed in the future, and U-BANK will charge a 15 to 20% interest rate on the
advance, as well as a security deposit equivalent to the amount of the advance.
Cash Finance
This is supplied to people who have a short-term cash requirement, such as sole proprietors,
partnership companies, and so on, to meet their cash needs on a timely basis. This advance is
only given to those people in whom the bank has complete faith and who are faithful bank
customers. This bank will require security with a value of 50% or more of the advance amount.
Interest rates vary depending on the type of security; U-BANK charges interest rates ranging
from 15% to 20%.
Overdraft Finance
Overdraft is a type of advance in which a bank allows its most loyal and important
customers to get cash even if the amount requested is not available in their account. Which bank
places a limit on its customers' current account withdrawals from the account's actual balance?
For this, the bank will charge interest or fees on the amount that has been overdrawn from the
account. When a customer needs cash, he can take full advantage of the overdraft facility. And
when it returns the cash, it deducts the amount from the account. Unsecured and secured
overdrafts are also possible. Unsecured overdrafts rely on the customer's personal security,
whereas secured overdrafts allow the consumer to overdraw the amount from their account after
giving security to the bank, which might be government or first-class financial instruments
4.3. Recommendations
The U micro finance bank is included in ten top most banks in Pakistan Equity as well as assets
wise, but for the further improvement in various sectors that may need recommendations to the
bank would be as follows:
25
4.3.2. Formation of a Research Cell:
A research cell should continuously try to gather information about the present action so its
competitors and expected future actions. So, in this way more effective strategies can be
formulated.
Govt. should take keen interest to recover its bad debts, which can improve its financial
position.
In case of giving the loans, it is necessary to check the repute of customer towards loan
repayment. Bank shouldn’t advance the money to those people who are addict of
rescheduling of loans due to their political influences. Instead providing loans to these
persons, loans must be advanced to the well-reputed businesses and industries having
good record of loan repayment.
Along with the officers, the training must also be given to the clerical staff. Because of
U-BANK are running on manual system and the training of its staff directly improving
their efficiency of work?
Present training program for its officers is need to be improved, as this program instead
of improving the efficiency of officers is merely a burden for the bank in the form of
heavy T.A, D.A. and cost.
Working conditions must be improved for the employees. Bank will definitely get more
benefits after some expenditure on the working conditions as it improves efficiency and
productivity of the employees.
26
U-BANK should flourish certain marketing plans to attract the customers by giving them
certain incentives and beneficial schemes to the customers as other competitor banks are
doing so.
There is also a need of proper recruitment and selection program. New young talent
should be introduced to inject the new ideas.
Special attention should be given to the behavior of the employees towards the
customers, as customer is the most important person for any bank.
There are many employees who are working on ad-hoc basis creating dissatisfaction. The
deserved should be made permanent employees.
To motivate the employees of the bank, regular bonuses and incentives should be given
to them.
There must be a friendly environment among all the employees as it enhances the trust
and sincerity.
U-BANK should be focusing its attention towards the share of traveler cheque.
Branch manager should be trained in the field of selling to serve better according to the
expectation of customers.
The recruitment policy should be fair and transparent.
Management should increase the branch limit of expenditure to fulfill the necessary
expenditure of personnel relation.
