Introduction of Sector

Comsats Institute of Information Technology, Lahore Page 6

Page 7: Final Report- Faizan Idrees

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. Banking in fact is primitive as human society, for ever since man came to realize the importance of money as a medium of exchange, the necessity of a controlling or regulating agency or institution was naturally felt. 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 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 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 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.

The banking structure in Pakistan comprises of the following types.

State Bank of Pakistan Commercial Bank of Pakistan Saving banks. Cooperative banks Specialized credit institution

All these commercial banks were nationalized in January 1, 1974, and were recognized and merged into the following five banks:

Allied Bank of Pakistan

The Government of Pakistan in the late 90’s introducing the need for the privatization of state owned banks and companies. The private sector has accepted the challenge and most of the banks are privatized today. The State Bank of Pakistan issues the shares of these periodically. Bank employees and other common peoples can also purchase these shares and earn profit. Throughout the period of banking history the banks have been expanding rapidly and achieved the desired goal of progress.

Thus, the bank inherits a 52-year legacy of trust in its customers and the citizens of Pakistan.

3. Promotion strategy of MCB bank

MCB Bank is actively participating in promotion of its products and services through advertisement and other promotional schemes.

But now the strategy has been changed and the bank is now targeting the middle market also. The products offered are of diverse nature to cater the needs of maximum number of people.

FIELDS OF ACTIVITIES

The purpose of banks is to provide some services to the general public. And for this purpose different banks provide different services to the people in different forms. The MCB Bank is a commercial bank, in modern time commercial banks play a very important role and their functions are manifold. The main functions and services which MCB Bank Limited provides to different peoples are as follows.

Page 18: Final Report- Faizan Idrees

Purchasing shares for the customer Undertaking foreign exchange business. Furnishing trade information and tendering advice to customers.

For proper functioning of branches and the overall bank has been divided in different departments. These departments handle different jobs so that division of work is there for improvement of functions and also it is easy to control the situation. The general division in a branch is as follows:

1. Account Opening Department

Account opening and closing is the function of accounts departments. Account opening department is the most important department in any commercial bank's operations. The reason is that it serves as a first step in establishing customer-bank relationship. The main objective of any bank is to attract as many new accounts and deposits as possible. In order to fulfill this objective the first step is the opening of new accounts and maintaining the existing ones. The department of account opening is the major source of doing so.

BASICS TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT

INTRODUCTION AND PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION

Before opening an account MCB as like the other banks in Pakistan as certain whether or not the person who is going to open the account is a desirable customer or not. Then MCB determine the prospective customer’s integrity, respectability, occupation and the nature of business by the introductory references given at the time of account opening. Negligence in this informal preliminary investigation may result in serious consequences not only for the banker concerned directly but also for other bankers and the general public who may be affected indirectly.

In order to further strengthen and streamline this process, the Federal Ombudsman of Pakistan, vide his ruling on complaint no. II/31/5186, has directed the banks to retain with the account opening form a Photostat copy each of the National Identity Cards of the person desiring to open an account as well as that of the introducer. As per these directions, the concerned Branch Managers are required to obtain the original National Identity Cards along with their Photostat copies and then return the original after attesting the authenticity of the retained copy.

Comsats Institute of Information Technology, Lahore Page 18

Page 19: Final Report- Faizan Idrees

Preliminary investigation is necessary because of the following reasons:

Avoid Frauds: If a banker does not make the necessary inquiries mentioned above he may enabled is honest

persons to possess cheque books for fraudulent purposes. If any such person happens to be an undercharged bankrupt, the banker might be placed in an awkward position for having allowed such a person to open and open a bank account.Safeguard against unintended overdrafts:

Sometimes due to a mistake an account may be given an overdraft, For instance, the ledger keeper, misreading the balance of an account honors a cheque for an amount larger than the balance. Similarly a credit entry belonging to a customer may be made by mistake in another customer’s account. In such situations the excess amount withdrawn by the customer can only be realized if the customer is a respectable person.Inquiries about clients:

Being a banker MCB has a business obligation to respond to inquiries from other banks etc. about his customer’s financial position. Though the banker gives only a general ideal about the financial standing of his customer.Specimen Signature;

When an account is opened with MCB customer provides to the bank a specimen of the form of signature which would appear on all his cheques to express his authority for the payment of cheques drawn on his banker. This specimen is taken generally on a card specially designed for this purpose, and rule for the customers, full name, and account number are entered on it.

If the bank has reasons to doubt the genuineness of a signature, he should either get it confirmed for his satisfaction or return the cheque with the remark ‘Signature differs’. If the signature of the customer is forged the banker cannot escape his liability because he has actually acted on his customer’s mandate.

HOW TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT (GENERAL)

Before opening an account in MCB the following points must be considered in this regard. Another account holder of the bank should properly introduce the new customer. The account holder should sign the account opening form in the presence of bank officer

and the signature is duly verified. A copy of identity Card is required by Bank. Against submission of the Bank’s prescribed application form, duly introduced in the manner

provided and on supplying such document, as may be required and account may be opened.

Comsats Institute of Information Technology, Lahore Page 19

2. Clearing department

Every banker acts both as a paying as well as a collecting banker, It is however an important function of crossed cheques. A large part of this work is carried out through the bankers clearing house.

A clearing house is a place where representative of all banks of the city get together and settle the receipts and payment of cheques drawn on each other. As the collecting banker runs certain risks in receipt of their ownership the law has provided certain protections to the banks.

The Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881, lays down hat drawer or holder of a cheque or draft may cross the instrument generally or specially. It further lies down that a crossed cheque can only be paid to a banker, who collects it for a customer in good faith and without negligence.

Types of Cheques

Transfer cheques:

Are those cheques, which are collected and paid by the same branch of bank.

Transfer delivery cheques:

Are those cheques, which are collected and paid by two different branches of the same bank, situated in the same city.

Clearing cheques:

Collection cheques:

PROCESSING OF OUTWARD CLEARING (Collections)

Cheques are received from the clients. These cheques are received along with a deposit slip. One part of the deposit slip is returned to the customer with a clearing stamp on it. The date of clearing is one day ahead of the current day, because it takes one day for a cheque to get clearance.

The cheques are then sort out as local and outstation. The details of the cheque i.e. the amount, cheque number, the account number and the name of the Drawee bank are entered. These cheques are

3. Remittance Department

Remittance department performs following functions:

Mail Transfer (MT) Telegraphic Transfer (TT) Demand Drafts (DD)

MAIL TRANSFER (MT)

When a customer requests the bank to transfer his money from one branch of bank to another branch of the same bank or from one city to another city to the same bank or any other bank. Customer fills the form given by bank. If the customer has an account with that amount as mentioned in the application form then concerned officer will undertake the following procedure to make the mail transfer complete.

1. Branch Mail transfer form

2. Receiving Branch Register copy

3. Issuing branch register Copy

4. Beneficiary advice

5. Advice to customer

In case where the customer is not account holder of the bank then the customer will have to deposit the amount which he wants to transfer under Mail. Then the above said procedure will be done.

TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER (TT)

This type of transfer is simple. After filling the application form the concerning officer shall fill the telegraphic transfer form. Then it is sent to the required bank which on receiving it immediately makes the payment to the customer and after wards the voucher are sent to that bank by ordinary mail.

DEMAND DRAFT (DD)

Demand draft is just like cheques and issued when the customer wants to take cash with him personally. The idea behind is to avoid the risk and burden of currency notes in huge quantity. Demand draft can easily be handled whatever amount it has and the money can easily be taken from the bank when it is presented. In fact, the bank persuades the customer to transfer money by drafts and avoid the risk of frauds involves in MT and T.T. Draft is only issued when the bank knows customer and bank has the confidence in him.

Comsats Institute of Information Technology, Lahore Page 25

Page 26: Final Report- Faizan Idrees

In case of transfer of money by drafts, the customer has to fill an application form. Then the concerned officer fills the following forms:

Customer’s advice Customer’s debit form Register copy Cover Advice

FOREIGN DEMAND DRAFT

Foreign Demand Draft is just like demand draft. The only difference is that a bank issues FDD to the bank of another country. It requires foreign exchange and it involves seven forms, which are to be filled.

PAY ORDER

Pay order is meant for bank’s own payments but in practice these are also issued to our customer for making payments.

A pay order is written authorization for payment, made in a receipt form issued and payable by the bank, to the person named and addressed therein on his giving a proper discharge thereon.

It is issued by and drawn upon and payable by the same branch of the bank. It is neither transferable nor negotiable and as such it is payable to the payee named therein. Pay order cannot be issued to a minor. Some time bank don’t want to give its deposits to

customer. So in that case pay order is given to that customer and he can use it for making payments. When customer wants to cash the pay order then the amount of the pay order will be debited from the bank. If pay order submitted to other bank like ABL, BAL then the process of clearing will be adopt.

3. Advances Department

Advances are the most important source of earning for the banks. MCB is also giving full attention towards this aspect and it is also obvious from the growing portfolio of advances and from very low delinquency rate. The credit portfolio of this institution is in a very much better shape than other financial institutions of Pakistan and the credit goes to the management and the staff who are concerned about the quantity and quality as well.

Loans Cash Credits Overdraft

LOANS

Loans are monetary assistance by a financial institution to a business, individual etc. The loans are granted by the bank in lump sum, so these types called fixed or demand loans. Interest is charged on the whole amount of a fixed loan. The borrower withdraws whole the amount of loan. This type of loan is normally granted against security of gold documents. In case of demand loans against gold or documents, a demand promissory note for the amount of loan is taken from the borrower loans are granted under;

LOAN AGAINST GOLD

Under this type of loan, which is granted to the borrower the Head Cashier estimates the value of Gold or Gold ornaments through an agent (Gold smith) and keeps a margin of 40 to 50 percent. After the opening the gold loan account a token is given to the borrower, which is a bank receipt. On repayment of loan, the gold or ornaments held as security for it, together with the demand promissory note duly discharged is returned to the borrower and his receipt for the gold ornament taken in the demand loan ledger.

This receipts states that he ornaments returned are complete and in order. Part delivery of ornaments is given against part payment of a loan but care is taken that the ornaments still in banks possession fully covers the balance of the loan outstanding. The interest gold loan is to be applied with quarterly.

LOAN AGAINST PLEDGE OF STOCKS

In case of advancing such types of loans, the following precautions are kept in the mind:

Stock pledged must be readily saleable

Comsats Institute of Information Technology, Lahore Page 27

Page 28: Final Report- Faizan Idrees

Products should be readily saleable Advance should be within the borrows means.

REQUIREMENTS OF LOAN

For granting loan to any party or individual, the bank checks following particulars of the client:

Credibility Feasibility Report

By Credibility, bank Judges the credibility of the client by his past bank record, CBI report etc. it is very important in making decision about giving him loan.

Feasibility report is on the running or proposed business of the client. The report enables the bank to judge the likely return of the business.

The following documentation is made for loan

An application or request letter for loan by the customer Legal opinion of the legal advisor of the bank (for the title deeds) Consent letter from the regional office Vetting Certificate (includes consent No., Facility whether fund based or no-fund based,

addresses etc. Valuation of property any consultant or any panel of consultants approved by State Bank of

SECURITIES HELD AGAINST FINANCING

FOR RUNNING FINANCE

Hypothecation of Stocks (50% Margin) Collateral security (house, land, factory etc..

Such cash account is opened in the name of the customer who borrows from the bank. Customer is granted a loan up to a certain limit, sanctioned by the head office, from which he can draw when he requires and interest is charged on the amount actually utilized by the customer. In order to avoid the danger of idle fund, the bank charges a certain rate of interest, even if the customer does not withdraw any amount. The rate charged by the bank on cash credit in 46 paisa per thousand on daily basis.

Comsats Institute of Information Technology, Lahore Page 29

Page 30: Final Report- Faizan Idrees

5. Cash Department

The following books are maintained in the Cash Department:

Receiving Cash Book Paying Cash Book Token Book Scroll Book

Cash Balance Book When cash is received in counter, it is entered in the Scroll Book and Receiving Cashier Book. At the close of the day, these are balanced with each other. When the cheque or any negotiable instrument is presented at counter for payment, it is entered in the token book and token is issued to the customer. The token clerk and the Cashier make entries in the paying book and payment is made to payee. At the close of day, the Token Book and Paying Cashier Book are balanced. The consolidated figure of receipt and payment of cash is entered in the cash balance book and drawn closing balance of cash.

Opening Balance + Receipts - Payments = closing Balance.

This is very important department because cash is the most liquid asset and mostly frauds are made in this department, therefore, extra care is taken in this department and nobody is allowed to enter or leave the area freely. Mostly, cash area is grilled and its door is under supervision of the head of that department. All the books maintained in this department are checked by an officer.

Stop Payment

The department also makes arrangements for stop payment of cheques on the request of the client. The request of stop payment is made in the following case

The cheque has been stolen or lost To cancel the cheque, which has already been written out, and handle to the counterpart, and

the client will request the bank not to make the payment if presented.

DEPOSIT DEPARTMENT

Bank deals in money and they are merely mobilizing funds within the economy. They borrow from one person and lend to another, the difference between the rate of borrowing lending forms their spread or gross profit. Therefore we can rightly state that deposits are the blood of the bank which causes the body of an institution to get to work. These deposits are liability of the bank so from point of view of bank we can refer to them as liabilities.

The total deposits of MCB are growing since its inauguration but after privatization there is a sharp incline in over all deposits of the bank. The increase in deposits is also a cause of increase on total number of accounts; bank has progressed in both aspects.

Comsats Institute of Information Technology, Lahore Page 30

Page 31: Final Report- Faizan Idrees

TYPES OF DEPOSITS

Deposits can be segregated on two bases, one is the duration in which there funds are expected to be with the bank and second is the cost of getting these funds. So divide deposits in two classes according to duration of deposits i.e.

Time deposits / liabilities Demand deposits / liabilities And on the basis of the cost to acquire

These funds, a deposit can be classified as any one of following four,

High Cost Medium Cost, Low Cost No Cost.

Banks has different kinds of deposit schemes in order to induced posits. These schemes are a mixture of the above mentioned two types of deposits with an addition of different services &requirements such as minimum balance' requirement, mode of transaction, basis for calculation of profit, deductions, additional benefits, eligibility for different groups.

In the similar fashion, MCB has a large variety of deposit schemes and some of them are as follows:

CURRENT ACCOUNT

In this type of accounts the client is allowed to deposit or withdraw money as and when he likes. He may, thus, deposits or withdraws money several times in a day if he likes. There is also no restriction of amount to be deposited or withdrawn. However, there is requirement of minimum balance maintenance of Rs.10000/-. Usually this type of account is opened by the businessmen. No profit is paid by the bank and no service charges are deducted by the bank on current deposits account. These types of deposits are also exempt from compulsory deduction of Zakat.

PLS ACCOUNT

This type of account is for those persons who want to make small savings. This type of account is opened with a minimum deposit of Rs.10000/-. Under this scheme deposits can be made only up to a-costing amount and withdrawals are allowed twice a week or 8 times a month. If a big amount is required a seven days notice is required before the withdrawal. The profit is paid on these accounts on the minimum balance during a month for the whole of that month. Zakat & other withholding taxes are deducted as per rules of the government.

KHUSHALI BACHAT ACCOUNT

Comsats Institute of Information Technology, Lahore Page 31

Page 32: Final Report- Faizan Idrees

This is an advance form of PLS saving a/c, in this type of account. The minimum balance requirement for this type is Rs. 10000/-.There is also restriction on the number of withdrawals as well,i.e. up to 4 times in a calendar month. For maintaining this extra balance the customer gets the benefits of profit calculation on daily product basis and also free service of standing instructions of paying utility bills and HBFC installments. All other rules of saving account are applicable.

PLS 365 GOLD

This is a special type of saving account in which customer maintains a minimum balance of Rs. 300,000- and in turn he gets the benefits of daily profit calculations and also there is no restriction on the maximum number of withdrawals as was there in the case of KBA. There is also another advantage of this scheme that if balance on a particular day falls below the minimum balance then only the product of that day is ignored whereas in KBA, if balance falls below the minimum limit then all the products for that month are ignored on in other words no profit is paid for that month.

Khaunm Bachat Scheme

This is a type of term deposit, in this type of deposit an account is deposited and monthly payments of Rs. 1000/- are made by the account holder in this account for a minimum of 10 years. After the expiry of term, he receives his funds along with profit for the tenor. The distinctive feature of this product is that profit is calculated on monthly basis and charged to account on end of each half /ear.

Then profit is also calculated on that amount of profit which is credited to the customer's account. So we can say that in this type of account there is a concept of accumulated profits on profit. This ends in getting a heavy return for the depositor at the end of tenor for his small savings. This product was actually introduced to promote saving habits in the people. Zakat and wit holding taxes are deducted as per rules only at the time of maturity while making payment to the customer.

Term Deposits Receipts

This is a type of term deposit in which a receipt is issued for varying tenors ranging from 1 month to 5 years or more. These are in the form of receipts and profit on these receipts is paid biannually. These receipts are encashable after expiry of the period for which they were issued. Different profit rates are applied to different type of TDRs.

6. Technology Department

Technological advancements are also affecting the banking industry. The foreign banks have a competitive edge over all local banks in their technologies' advancements and automated systems. Local banks have also realized the gravity oil this situation and are striving to add computerized systems to their branches.

MCB is ahead of all other local banks in this field and now it is in a position to even compete with foreign banks. There are more than 1045 branches of MCB all over Pakistan and out of these more than 300 branches are fully computerized Almost all the branches of big cities are computerized; therefore, the need for a technology department at each branch is growing. Now a day, a computer division is working in each city to provide service to and the branches of that area.

MCB has also introduced the now concept of online banking. There are now more than 250 branches linked through this system and they can transact with each other directly using computer systems at their own branches. Now customers do not have to wait long for their transactions and can operate their account through all the online branches.

ATM NETWORK

ATM stands for Automatic Teller Machine. This machine is used to transact in one's account without intervention of humans. These machines are basically used for taking cash, confirming balances and requesting statements / cheque books. MCB has the largest ATM network in the country at the moment with almost one ATM at each online branch and also ATM terminals at International Airports. This network covers more than the 27 cities of Pakistan including the provincial capitals and large commercial cities of the country.

ATMs are operated through a card issued to the valued customers and by application of Personal Identification Number (PIN number). A person can withdraw from any machine across Pakistan with having an account in only one branch of MCB. This was only possible with the help of online system. In this system all the machines are linked to central banking host at IRM division Karachi through either satellite or telephone controller. This system identifies the card holder and his PIN Number.

Now MCB has also entered into a contract with Cirrus which is a subsidiary of MasterCard. This contract will enable an ATM cardholder to use his account even when he is out of country at all the ATMs where Cirrus logo is displayed.

Green Cards are ordinary cards with a maximum withdrawal facility of Rs. 10,000/- in a day. The annual fee for this card is Rs. 300/- only.

Gold Cards are special cars with maximum withdrawal limit of Rs. 25000/- in a day. These cards are issued to the persons having more than Rs. 500000/- as their average balance.

SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTH

MCB is the first Pakistani privatized bank and because of its quality management, marketing, innovation in products and services. Owing to all such factors they have established a good reputation in the banking market. The name of MCB makes your call the highly cooperative and professional individuals ready to serve you with maximum zeal and zest.

Comsats Institute of Information Technology, Lahore Page 46

Page 47: Final Report- Faizan Idrees

MCB have faster banking services that are making it more prominent in the banking industry especially in operations and Foreign exchange. The customer prefers this bank not only because of its faster speedy service rather due to reasonable service charges.

MCB in Pakistan is the also in the list of highly automated banks like Emirates because of its modern style of banking through fully computerized control and twenty four hour banking. The joining of experienced people, advanced management, advance setup and facilities gave MCB an edge over its competitors.

WEAKNESSES

The majority of people are not well aware about the products of MCB. Therefore it should advertise extensively especially RTC and Master Cards. A behavior has been noted that bank tries to feel at ease with good looking, rich and educated people and the poor looking customers feel some bit strange in the environment of the bank. The bank employees should try to accommodate behaviorally all type of customers.

In MCB there is lack of specialized skill because of job rotation policy of human resource department. The bank should concentrate upon increasing its abilities on individual service basis. Mismanagement of time is another big mistake in MCB branches, the bank official time of closing is 5:30pm but due mismanagement of time allocation and work the staff is normally on their seats till 7:00 or 8:00 clock.

OPPORTUNITIES

As on December 31, 1998, sixty-eight scheduled banks with 9,106 branches are operating in Pakistan. As on this date, total population of Pakistan is 140.03 million. Total number of personal accounts with all scheduled banks as on December 31, 1997, is 28.98 million. If we consider the population statistics of working age group as on December 31, 1997, it stands to the figure of 96.64 million. Thus we can say those 28% of working age people of Pakistan are having accounts with banks while 72% are unbaked. The need of privatization has made people to switch to banks to satisfy their needs of lending and borrowing. This not only increases the deposits but also the credit business.

THREATS

Change in government policies has affected the banking business. Still banks have to wait to get permission of state bank. The freezing of foreign currency accounts is a vital example of letting people not to trust on banks.

The Competition has become severe by the entrants of so many banks, So to exist one will have to prove himself in its services through excellent management and will have to satisfy its shareholders. Otherwise he will be out the market.

Comsats Institute of Information Technology, Lahore Page 47

Page 48: Final Report- Faizan Idrees

The decrease purchasing power of consumer in the current economic situation of the country affecting the business activity speed too much and the result is the low investment from the investors in new projects can create problem for the bank because it is working a lot in trade.

SEGGESTION

Bank must let potential customers know that all attractions for banking exist. This is done by advertising on television and obtaining press coverage, in conjunction with direct mail, window displays, leaflet in branches and in appropriate other locations(such as hotels, shops, etc.) and including leaflets in statement of accounts sent to existing customers in the hope that they will tell potential customers about the services provided by our bank.

Comsats Institute of Information Technology, Lahore Page 48

Page 49: Final Report- Faizan Idrees

Financially unsophisticated people might feel bank accounts, cheque books, credit cards, etc. are difficult to understand and to keep control thereof.

Some personal sector customers prefer not to come to branch. They increasingly want to deal with the bank in other ways, such as home banking or use of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs),which need to be at the branch or some important shopping plazas.

It is widely known that there is a substantial Black Economy in Pakistan, Where people earn income that is undisclosed to their venues authorities. Payments for goods and services in the black economy are necessarily in cash, because transactions by cheques are more likely to be exposed to the revenue authorities. Some people will therefore avoid bank accounts to preserve secrecy of earnings.

One way to retain the personal sector customers is to offer a wide range of services such as tax advice, free life insurance equivalent to amount deposited, shares portfolio management, fund management facility, etc., complimentary to the core services. Banks must have a slightly different mix of services. Banks must have a slightly different mix of services and mean of providing these such that customers can choose the mix that suits them best.

Arguably, there has been a little encouragement from banks to persuade people to open a bank account. Opening hours are restricted, and there is commonly held beliefs that bank operate for their convenience and not for the convenience of the customers.

Logic leads to promotional campaign through employers who are customers of the banks and their employees are paid in cash. Such business accounts should be encouraged to open the accounts of their employees with the banks. It might be worth offering free banking for a specific period to new accounts or simply publicizing the services available by means of posters at the employer’s premises.

It might be possible to attract another type of personal customers through business accounts, namely directors and denier employees, etc. Again an incentive package could be put together. The banks may choose to make its existing products distinctive or to introduce new products. It is often easier to benefit from adverse changes made by other banks than to attract customers by innovations.

A short term promotional technique is to offer price incentives, for example, low interest rates on advances or limited issue high profit bearing term deposits. Longer term, a Loss Leader may be offered. For example, profit bearing current accounts are not very lucrative but any bank cannot afford not to offer these. The reduced profits can be augmented by profits made on other products.
