WHAT IS CONSUMER FINANCING?

Institutional arrangements that provide consumers


with financing support to enhance their consumption
and, as a result thereof, improve their standards of
living, fall within the broad definition of Consumer
Finance.

‘Consumer financing’ means any financing allowed to


individuals for meeting their personal, family or
household needs. The facilities categorized as
‘Consumer financing’ include

O Credit Cards
O Auto Loans
O Housing Finance
O Personal loans

However, the semantics of financial markets


generally tend to exclude housing finance from this
range treating it as a distinct financing product
essentially because of its long-term nature.
Once upon a time, banking used to be all about
saving and interests. No more, no less… in the
current age of cutthroat competition, it becomes a
prerequisite to success to have a large and
successful portfolio of products and services with
which the banks can woo and then wow their
customers. Here in come offerings such as loans,
credit cards, easy installments and what not. If you
want a BMW in a draw, get a credit card, they say…
or if you want to go to Dubai, get a credit card! It
has been through this concerted thought that the
concept of consumer banking has become so
prevalent in Pakistan.
However, it was not always like this. Not every bank
could offer a credit card and not all of the banks
could offer the services so consistently that do now.
There were but a few multinational banks that
attempted to offer anything remotely resembling
consumer banking. It was at this point that the State
Bank introduced certain reforms, and many national
banks were privatized. At the same time, there was
a paradigm shift with respect to the approach of
many a bank with a huge base of customers in the
urban sector. These banks began to take an
increasingly market oriented approach and became
the forerunners for more than 5 years of growth of
consumer banking in Pakistan.
