What is Bank?
In Simple words we can say that bank is a pipeline through which money moves into and
out of circulation. Bank accepts deposits and repays cash to its customers on demand. The bank
borrows money at a lesser rate of interest and lends it to the borrower at a higher rate.
History of banking in Pakistan:
At the time of independence, there were 487 offices of scheduled banks in the territories
now constituting Pakistan. Following the announcement of independence plan in June 1947, the
Hindus residing in the territories now comprising Pakistan started transferring their registered
offices in Pakistan, transferred them to India in order to bring a collapse of the new state. By
30th June 1948, the number of offices of scheduled banks in Pakistan declined from 487 to only
195.
Banking In Pakistan:
Pakistan has indeed unique banking history commencing as were from scratch at the time
of Pakistan of this subcontinent. However it soon comes over its extra ordinary banking
problems and by grace of Allah we have a stable banking sector.
History and Background of Faysal Bank:
Faysal Bank started operations in Pakistan in 1987, first as a branch set-up of Faysal
Islamic Bank of Bahrain and then in 1995 as a locally incorporate Pakistani bank under the
present name of Faysal Bank Limited. On January 1, 2002, Al Faysal Investment Bank Limited,
another group entity in Pakistan, merged into Faysal Bank Limited which resulted in a larger,
stronger and much more versatile institution. In fact it has the highest share capital amongst
private banks in Pakistan and is amongst the largest in terms of equity. Faysal Bank Limited is a
full service banking institution offering consumer, corporate and investment banking facilities to
its customers.

launching awareness programs for society to create better understanding regarding Islamic
banking.
