BANK AND THE IMPORTANCE OF BANKING

Bank and Banking:


Some authors are of opinion that the word bank is derived from the word "Banque" which means a "Bench". According to Banking Companies Ordinance 1962 Banking is business receiving for lending or investment, of deposits of money, from public, repayable on demand or otherwise and which drawable by check, draw, order or otherwise. A simple definition of bank is: A bank includes a body of person, who carry on the business of banking Or A bank may be as an institution dealing mainly in money and credit. It accepts deposits from one class of people at a lower rate of interest and advances money out of these deposits to other class of people at higher rate of interest.

Importance of Banking:
Bank plays an important role in promoting economic development of a country. Bank provides necessary funds for executive program in the process

of economic development. They collect savings of large masses of people scattered throughout the country, which in the absence of bank world have remained idle and unproductive. These amounts are collected, pooled together and made available to commerce and industry for meeting the requirements. This provides finance for successfully carrying on various stages of production as well as distribution. Bank stimulate the habit of savings amount the people by the security and interest they offer with these savings which are deposited by people are in a position to utilize the deposited amount more productively. The bank increased the transaction capacity of the customers by advancing loans when they require for additional funds to finance their expanded program of business transaction. In short, the economic development of a particular country is closely connected with the growth of a sound banking system.

Profit Generation:
Traditionally, a bank generates profits from transaction fees on financial services and from the interest it charges for lending. In recent history, with historically low interest rates limiting banks' ability to earn money by lending deposited funds, much of a bank's income is provided by overdraft fees and riskier investments.

Services Typically Offered By Banks


Although the type of services offered by a bank depends upon the type of bank and the country, services provided usually include:

Taking deposits from their customers and issuing checking and savings accounts to individuals and businesses Extending loans to individuals and businesses Cashing cheques Facilitating money transactions such as wire transfers and cashiers checks

Issuing credit cards, ATM cards, and debit cards Storing valuables, particularly in a safe deposit box

Cashing and distributing bank rolls

EMIRATES ISLAMIC BANK

Ways to Perform Financial Transactions:


Financial transactions can be performed through several different channels: Branch ATM Mail Telephone banking Online banking

COMMERCIAL BANK
A commercial bank is a type of financial intermediary and a type of bank. It raises funds by collecting deposits from businesses and consumers via checkable deposits, savings deposits, and time (or term) deposits. It makes loans to businesses and consumers. It also buys corporate bonds and government bonds. Its primary liabilities are deposits and primary assets are loans and bonds. This is what people normally call a "bank".

EMIRATES ISLAMIC BANK

The term "commercial" was used to distinguish it from an investment bank. After the Great Depression, the U.S. Congress required that banks only engage in banking activities, whereas investment banks were limited to capital markets activities. Since the two no longer have to be under separate ownership, some use the term "commercial bank" to refer to a bank or a

division of a bank that mostly deals with deposits and loans from corporations or large businesses. In some English-speaking countries outside North America, the term "trading bank" was and is used to denote a commercial bank.

Banking Companies Ordinance 1962:


Banking Companies Ordinance 1962 defines it as: Banking means the accepting for the purpose of lending or investing of deposits of money from the public repayable in demand or otherwise and withdrawable by cheque, draft order or otherwise.

Islamic Banking
Islamic Banking is a form of modern banking based on Islamic legal concepts (Shari'a) developed in the first centuries of Islam, using risk-sharing as its main method, and excluding financing based on a fixed, pre-determined return. Islamic Banking believes in sharing profits and risks in the business instead of becoming creditors. In Islamic Banking the depositor, the Bank and the borrower all share the risks and rewards of financing business ventures. This is unlike the interest-based commercial banking system, where all the pressure is on the borrower; he must pay back his loan, with the agreed interest, regardless of the success or failure of his venture. Islam encourages investment in order that the community may benefit.

International Association for Islamic Economics:


The International Association for Islamic Economics was established in 1984 as an educational and professional organization with the objective of promoting the study and application of Islamic economics, banking and finance. It involves the reconstruction of economic and finance theory and practice in the light of Islamic principles. The Association, thus, aims to develop an integrated approach to Economics while welding together the material aspects of economic life with Islamic values and norms. Membership is open to academics, professional financiers and bankers, and students who are interested and involved in Islamic Economics, banking and finance, and agree with the aims and objectives of the Association.

Principles of Islamic Banking


The Islamic values are reflected in Islamic economic principles. It is important to understand these principles of Islam, Which are:-

EMIRATES ISLAMIC BANK

28

a. Any predetermined payment over and above the actual amount of


principal is prohibited.

Islam allows only one kind of loan and that is qard-el-hassan (literally good loan) whereby the lender does not charge any interest or additional amount over the money lent.
b. The Bank must share in the profits or losses arising out of the
enterprise for which the money was financed.

Unlike the interest-based commercial banking system where all the pressure is on the borrower, Islamic finance is based on the belief that the depositor, the bank and the borrower should all share the risks and the rewards of financing business ventures.
c. Making money from money is not Islamically acceptable.

In Islam, money represents purchasing power, which is considered to be the only proper use of money. This purchasing power (money) cannot be used to make more purchasing power (money) without undergoing the intermediate step of it being used for the purchase of goods and services.

d. (Uncertainty, Risk or Speculation) is also prohibited.

Contracting parties should have perfect knowledge of the counter values intended to be exchanged as a result of their transactions and should be free from uncertainty, risk and speculation. Also, parties cannot predetermine a guaranteed profit based on the principle of 'uncertain gains' which does not even allow an undertaking from the customer to repay the borrowed principal plus an amount to take into account inflation.
e. Investments should only support practices or products that are not forbidden or even discouraged- by Islam.

EMIRATES ISLAMIC BANK

Trade in alcohol, for example would not be financed by an Islamic bank; a real-estate finance could not be made for the construction of a casino; and the bank could not lend money to other banks on

Islamic Vs Conventional Banking

The best-known feature of Islamic banking is the prohibition on interest, known as "Ribba". It encourages the notion of higher risks and higher returns, the objective is that high-risk investments provide a stimulus to the economy and encourage entrepreneurs to maximize their efforts. Islam encourages investments in order that the community may benefit. The shareholders and depositors should all share the risks and the rewards of financing business ventures. This is unlike the interest-based commercial banking system, where all the pressure is on the borrower: to pay back his loan, with the agreed interest, regardless of the success or failure of his venture. Islamic banking helps to contribute towards a more equitable distribution of income and wealth and increased equity participation in the economy.

SWOT ANALYSIS FUTURE PROSPECTS

EMIRATES ISLAMIC BANK

32

10. EIB introduced its Online Support, which is specifically meant for existing EIB Virtual Banking (Internet) customers, requiring help on various e-Banking issues. 11.Variety of deposit and advance related products to meet the needs of different types of customers.

WEAKNESSES
Decision making process is very slow. It is not having greater no of branches abroad. Some management positions needed are not professional. Employees dissatisfaction due to ill treatment and improper reward system. The pay scale of the employees is low as compared to its competitors. The lack of proper infrastructure in small branches is also a major weakness.

OPPORTUNITIES
EIB is opening new branches in foreign countries Leasing sector is growing over the years, which provides opportunity to EIB to go ahead in this area as well. EIB is providing Consumer Finances at comparatively lower rates which paves a way to grab more customers.

EMIRATES ISLAMIC BANK

33

Financing to small/medium industries will definitely increase its advances and profitability as well. Islamic Trading Based Banking can enhance the business of the bank. Job enrichment of the employees will result in higher customer satisfaction because a satisfied employee means a satisfied customer. Higher pay scale will result in lower turnover of highly skilled employees. EIB is surrounded by many competitors. It has an opportunity to do aggressive marketing to increase its business. Another opportunity is to innovate their product line and keep on giving services that satisfy customers in a better way.

THREATS
Other private commercial bank with sound profitability is also a threat to EIB. Foreign banks are flourishing in field of consumer financing.
EMIRATES ISLAMIC BANK 34

People dont prefer banking culture. They mostly prefer cash transactions. EIB has many competitors, which are continuously increasing its products and marketing aggressively. It may cause its customers to shift to competitors. Continuous turnover of the highly skilled employees to it competitors can be detrimental in the long run as well as short run. The EIB Islamic Banking system has very few products yet those are competitive. It needs to work on its product line in order to improve it.

FUTURE PROSPECTS
The future prospects of EIB seem to be bright because it can easily continue benefiting from the strengthening of underlying economy and continued business optimism. Furthermore, as relations with other countries are improving considerably, hence banking sector is expected to grow on the back of continued economic revival, and is well supported by the reforms in the financial sector. EIB has clearly shown an intention of keeping continued cost discipline as a clear priority, intensify the focus on fee-based income and encouraging the adoption of new technologies and infrastructure platforms to maintain and improve its position. For this purpose, EIB is trying to make a comprehensive portfolio of business initiatives aimed at capturing additional profit growth potential.
EMIRATES ISLAMIC BANK 35

RECOMMENDATIONS CONCLUSION

EMIRATES ISLAMIC BANK

37

RECOMMENDATIONS
Some of the recommendations for Emirates Islamic Bank are as follows: Processing of loans should be simplified and the time for the loan approval should be revised. There are lengthy and cumbersome legal procedures that make the customer more reluctant to come to the bank. The emphasis of the bank should be on speedy processing and prompt services. EIB must concentrate on promotion of their products and services. The bank should focus on improving the customer service. As the world is becoming a global village and the competition is getting intense day by day, one cannot take the risk of loosing its customers. The Islamic and conventional systems must not be mixed together. It gives a negative image on Islamic banking system. The treasury must be separate. The use of the technology should be further improved. The mobile banking system should be given proper attention because its usage up till now is very limited. Steps should be taken to increase the national savings rates. Banks can play their part in this by introducing more attractive products, keeping in view the needs of the customers and educating the customer about the savings.

EMIRATES ISLAMIC BANK

38

The difference in the spread should be reduced. This high spread decreases the efficiency of the bank and ultimately leads to disintermediation. The management of the bank should introduce such systems that reduce the paper work. Unproductive branches in remote areas should be closed down to reduce the administrative costs. The branches that are facing losses should be given special attention to improve those branches. Aggressive and proactive management style should be followed to increase HR efficiency. Time deposits should be properly administered. Stuck up portfolio of Finances should be effectively reduced. Dormant/Non-Operating accounts should be closed to save account maintenance costs. Fund Investments should be made after careful analysis. Bank should expand its branch network abroad.

EMIRATES ISLAMIC BANK

39

CONCLUSION
From the analysis of the various efforts at different levels in the bank the conclusions are drawn: The bank has managed to achieve greater profitability by introducing innovative products and implementing effective strategies. The marketing efforts at the branch level are less disciplined and there are no integrated efforts from all the staff members. The mobilization of deposits is mainly considered as the responsibility of the branch manager but the rest of the staff is usually least interested. The branch managers are usually given very little regarding sanction of advances and over draft whereas the responsibilities are numerous. The decision-making is still centralized as the middle and low level management is not taken into confidence. At the regional and circle levels the marketing efforts are almost nonexisting though a big staff kept buy the entire day. The bank staff has been found as less satisfied with bank policies and the recent retrenchment in the bank has created unrest and panic. Although the bank is advertising that it had attain the maturity in electronic data processing system but factually the work force is bound to do lot of manual work, specially in bill and remittances department.
