ABOUT JS BANK LIMITED
JS Bank Limited was formed in 2006 by the merger of Jahangir Sidiqqui Investment Bank Ltd. and the commercial banking operations of American Express Bank (Pakistan) Ltd. JS Bank Limited also possesses a Primary Dealer License for Government Securities from the State Bank of Pakistan. JS Bank is one of the fastest growing banks in Pakistan in terms of deposit growth. JS bank Ltd. key activities can be divided into four business units namely: retail and consumer banking, treasury, corporate and commercial banking and investment banking. From 100 branches in 2009, JS Bank has grown rapidly to 238 branches in 122 cities in Pakistan.
JS Bank Limited in four years has more than doubled its top line revenues and bottom line profits. That is despite the tough economic conditions that prevailed for most of the four year period. The remarkable profit growth makes it one of the fastest growing commercial banks in the country, which is a clear achievement. JS Bank has done what the big players have i.e. to cash on Government securities . The bank's investment to deposit ratio stands at 62% as at September end, having touched the highest of 73% by March 2014. The ADR has remained in the mid 40s. It would be unfair to say that all focus has been on Government securities, as the ADR has jumped from 33% a year ago to a healthy 45% now. But most of the deposit growth has been parked in Government papers, because that is where the returns have been of late, and risk free one at that. The focus has been lately on Pakistan Investment Bonds as the returns have skyrocketed. There has been some signs of JS Bank's openness about private sector lending. Banking sector spreads have been sluggish for quite some times. The deposit growth has been nothing sort of exemplary, having crossed Rs. 100 Billion mark recently. JS Bank's Current Account and Saving Account (CASA) has been hovering at 60% and has decrease of late. Most bigger banks have shifted their focus towards zero growth in deposits while improving CASA. The cost to income ratio could still be improved , but one has to bear in mind that JS Bank is growing its network, which can result in comparatively higher cost to income ratio, than more settled banks.
JS Bank has the honor of being the first bank in Pakistan to implement one of the most sophisticated and advanced core banking systems Temenos T24. This is a shift from the previous SBS system and it will allow the bank to launch new products and provide improved services to its customers.

JS Bank has earned a 9 month profit before tax of Rs. 610.55 million till September 30th , 2014. The bank is positioned as a robust mid-sized bank with strong liquidity and sound capital base of Rs. 10.92 billion. During past nine months JS Bank deposits have increased by 26%, with almost Rs. 21 billion in growth since December 2013. This is a direct result of customer's trust and confidence also strength of relationship between the Bank and its customers. Some of the key numbers are presented below:

BANKING
Retail Banking:
Retail banking is the provision of services by a bank to individual consumers, rather
than to companies, corporations or other banks. Also known as consumer banking or
personal banking, retail banking is the visible face of banking to the general public, with
bank branches located in abundance in most major cities. Services offered
include savings and transactional accounts, mortgages, personal loans, debit cards,
and credit cards. The term is generally used to distinguish these banking services
from investment banking, commercial banking or wholesale banking. It may also be
used to refer to a division or department of a bank dealing with retail customers.
Customer deposits garnered by retail banking represent an extremely important source
of funding for most banks. Retail banking is perhaps one area of banking that has been
most impacted by technology, thanks to the proliferation of ATMs and the popularity of
online and telephone banking.
Typical products offered by a retail bank include:
Current Accounts
Saving Accounts
Debit Card – banks charge some fee annually.
Credit Card – the high interest rates charged on most credit cards makes this a
lucrative source of interest income and fees for banks.
Traveler's cheques
Mortgages on residential and investment properties – because of their size,
mortgages account for both a substantial part of retail banking profits, as well as
the biggest chunk of a bank’s exposure to its retail client base.
11
Home Equity loans
Personal loans
Certificate of Deposit/Term Deposit - these are the most popular investment
products with conservative investors, and an important funding source for banks
since the funds in these products are available to them for defined periods of
time.
Foreign currency and remittance services – the increase in cross-border banking
transactions by retail clients, and the higher spreads on currencies paid by them,
makes these services a profitable offering for retail banking.
Automobile financing – banks offer loans for new and used vehicles, as well as
refinancing for existing car loans.
Retail banking clients may also be offered the following services, generally through
another division or affiliate of the bank:
Stock brokerage (discount and full-service)
Insurance
Private banking
Wealth Management
The level of personalized retail banking services offered to a client depends on his or
her income level and the extent of the individual’s dealings with the bank. While a client
of modest means would generally be served by a teller or customer service
representative, a high net worth individual who has an extensive relationship with the
bank would typically have his or her banking requirements handled by an Account
manager or Manager.
With 238 branches in 112 cities, Retail Banking at JS Bank constantly endeavors to
provide with best banking services at all times. The innovative range of banking
services is designed to exceed customer's service expectations. Retail Banking offers a
complete range of deposit & loan products, wealth management, trade finance and
12
transactional services to a growing base of individual and institutional customers across
Pakistan.
Corporate Banking:
Corporate banking, also known as business banking, refers to the aspect of banking
that deals with corporate customers. Financial services specifically offered
to corporations, such as cash management, financing, underwriting,
and issuing of stocks, bonds, or other instruments. Financial institutions often maintain
specific divisions for handling the needs of corporate clients, separate
from consumer or retail banking activities for individual accounts.
Products and services by Corporate banking are:
Loans and other credit products – this is typically the biggest area of business
within corporate banking, and as noted earlier, one of the biggest sources of
profit and risk for a bank.
Treasury and cash management services – used by companies for managing
their working capital and currency conversion requirements.
Equipment lending – commercial banks structure customized loans and leases
for a range of equipment used by companies in diverse sectors such as
manufacturing, transportation and information technology.
Trade finance – involves letters of credit, bill collection.
Employer services – services such as payroll and group retirement plans are
typically offered by specialized affiliates of a bank.
Through their investment banking arms, commercial banks also offer related
services to their corporate clients, such as asset management and securities
underwriters.
Corporate Banking division at JS Bank offers financial solutions to meet the needs of
every type of business.

governments in raising financial capital by underwriting or acting as the client's agent in

Cheque is an instrument in writing containing an unconditional order, addressed to a banker, signed by the person who has deposited money with the banker, requiring him to pay on demand a certain sum of money only to or to the order of certain person or to the bearer of the instrument.A cheque is a document that orders a bank to pay a specific amount of money from a person's account to the person in whose name the cheque has been issued. The person writing the cheque, the drawer, has a transaction banking account where their money is held. The drawer writes the various details including the monetary amount, date, and a payee on the cheque, and signs it, ordering their bank, known as the drawee, to pay that person or company the amount of money stated.The four main items on a cheque are
Drawer, the person or entity who makes the cheque
Payee, the recipient of the money
Drawee, the bank or other financial institution where the cheque can be presented for
payment
Amount, the currency amount
OPEN CHEQUE OR BEARER CHEQUE:When the words "or Bearer" on the face of the cheque are not cancelled, the cheque is called a Bearer Cheque. The Bearer cheque is payable to the person specified therein or to anyother person who presents it to the bank for payment. Such cheques are risky because if the cheques are lost, the finder of the cheque can collect payment from the bank.
CROSSED CHEQUE OR ACCOUNT PAYEE CHEQUE:
When the word "Bearer" appearing on the face of the cheque is cancelled and when in its place the words "or Order" are written on the face of the cheque, the cheque is called an Order Cheque. Such a cheque is payable to the person specified therein as the payee or to anyone to whom it is endorsed (transferred).
UNCROSSED OR OPEN CHEQUE:When a cheque is not crossed it is known as open cheque or uncrossed cheque. The payment of such cheque can be obtained at the counter of the bank. An open cheque maybe Bearer Cheque or Order Cheque.
CROSSED CHEQUE:
65
Closing of cheque means drawing two parallel lines on the face of the cheque with or without additional words like "& Co.", "Account Payee", "Not Negotiable". A crossed cheque cannot be encashed at the counter of the bank, it can only be credited to the payee's account.
ANTI-DATED CHEQUE:If a cheque bears date earlier than the date on which it is presented to the bank, it is called an anti-dated cheque. Such a cheque is valid upto three months from the date of the cheque.
POST-DATED CHEQUE:If a cheque bears a date which is yet to come (future date), then it is known as post-dated cheque. A post dated cheque cannot be honored earlier than the date on the cheque.
STALE CHEQUE:If a cheque is presented for payment after three months from the date mentioned on it is called a stale cheque. It is not honored by the bank.
SELF CHEQUE:A self cheque is written by the account holder as pay self to receive the money in the physical form from the branch where he holds his account.
PAY YOURSELF CHEQUE:The account holder issues this type of crossed cheque to the bank asking the bank to deduct money from his account into bank's own account for the purpose of buying banking products like drafts, pay orders or for depositing money into other accounts.
TRANSFER CHEQUE:It is used to transfer money from one bank branch to the same bank branch in another city. This cheque cannot be encashed. Two parallel lines are made on the cheque or the word "Bearer" is cut from the face of the cheque.
CROSSING OF CHEQUE
Cheque is a negotiable instrument. During the process of circulation, a cheque maybe lost, stolen or the signature of payee maybe done by some other person for endorsing
66
it. Under these circumstances the cheque may go into wrong hands. Crossing is a popular method for protecting the drawer and payee of the cheque. Both bearer and order cheque can be crossed. Crossing prevents fraud and wrong payments. Crossing means drawing two parallel line on the face of the cheque.
GENERAL CROSSING:Generally cheques are crossed when
1. There are two parallel lines marked across its face.2. The cheque bears an abbreviation "& Co." between the two parallel lines.3. The cheque bears the words "Not Negotiable" between the two parallel lines.4. The cheque bears the words "A/c Payee" between the two parallel lines.
A crossed cheque can be marked bearer cheque by cancelling the crossing and writing that the crossing is cancelled and affixing the full signature of the drawer.
SPECIAL OR RESTRICTIVE CROSSING:When a particular bank's name is written in between two parallel lines the cheque is said to be specially crossed. In addition to the word bank, the words "A/c Payee only", "Not Negotiable" may also be written. The payment of such cheque is not made unless the bank named in crossing is presenting the cheque. The effect of special crossing is that the bank make payment only to banker whose name is written in the crossing. Specially crossed cheques are more safe than generally crossed cheque.

WORK DONE BY INTERNEE
I worked as an internee in JS Bank for ten weeks as per required by the University.
During my internship there was tremendous and friendly atmosphere in JS Bank. I
learned so many things from their management like how to work in a standard place.
At my first day in JS Bank, the branch manager and Area Manager Mr. Lut Ful Manan
Khan introduced me to all the employees in the bank that was orientation. After that I
was handed-off to Mr. Azmat Bashir Tarar, he is the operations manager, he was
responsible for my learning in the bank.
I worked under him for two weeks. I learned many things specially how to work as a
professional and learned about his duties and job description in the bank at that post.
After that I moved besides Customer Service Officer Ms. Asma Farrukh. She was very
helpful and extremely friendly. She provided me with all the information that I asked for
and co-operated with me very much. She provided me with notes in the bank's archive
93
and brochures that were necessary for me to gain much knowledge about bank. Her
way of teaching and dealing with me was very good. Bank Manager and Area manager
Mr. Lut Ful Manan Khan was also very supportive and much helpful. He also shared his
professional knowledge about products and services. I learned a great deal from him
also.
The most important benefit of internship is that I got practical exposure of the
workplace. I got practical experience of working practices related with my field.
I learned process of account opening of individuals, checked vouchers, issued cheque
books and recorded them, issued ATM cards and kept record of them, learned about
different types of ATM cards, filled online and deposit slips, filled issuance of Visa
Debit Card form, filled cheques of customers who did not knew how to fill a cheque. I
filled the "Funds Transfer Application Form" it is for Pay Order, Demand Draft, Account
to Account Transfer. It contains Transaction Details like Amount in figures and in words,
Purpose of sending money, Currrency, Mode of payment like Cash or Debit Acount or
through cheque. After that there is Beneficiary's detail like Name of beneficiary (The
person or organization to whom the money is sent) and at the end there is Applicant's
detail Name, Address, CNIC number, Contact number and relationship between
beneficiary and applicant e.g. student, if a person wants to send IELTS fees. I also
learned about Authorized signatures. I also learned how to do marketing of a product in
1 minute. I learned how to use photostate machine and scanner.
I got to learn about "Account Services Form". This form is for multiple purposes.
1. If customer wants to know about his account details then there is portion for this,
Account title, Account number, Telephone number, Cell number, and CNIC
number is required.
2. In case the account of a customer is dormant account. Account becomes
dormant if the account holder has not used his account for one year or if the
bank's management cannot get in touch with the customer or if the account
statement sent to the customer that has been dispatched by the bank returns
from the address to where it was sent. So in this case Account Re-activation
portion is filled where customer has to be present himself in the bank and
94
request this along with Deposit slip as certain sum of money is required and
copy of his CNIC.
3. If customer wants any kind of Bank certificate then "Bank Certificate" portion is to
be filled. These certificates include Withholding Tax certificate, Zakat Certificate,
Balance Certificate, A/c maintenance certificate. In this portion address of
customer is written and the duration or dates of the period that certificate is
required.
4. Account statement portion is next in this Account number is written and dates.
5. If customer has changed contact details then "Contact Detail" portion is filled.
Old address and new address is written. In case of change of phone number
then old and new one is written.
6. This form also has portion about counter cheque and stop payment. Counter
cheque is Bank's book on which no account number is mentioned. When
customer needs urgent cash and he has neither his cheque book nor ATM card
with him then he requests Bank to issue him a counter cheque so that customer
can withdraw money from his account. One counter cheque costs Rs. 100. On
this cheque customer's name, account number and amount is written. And stop
payment is for stopping any payment agains any cheque or Demand Draft or
Pay Order. This is for safety if the customer looses cheque then he requests
bank to stop that payment so in case the lost cheque got into the wrong hands.
Charges are Rs. 300 per cheque and Rs. 500 per series of cheques.
7. In case the customer wants to close his/her account then "Account Closure"
portion is filled. For this purpose reason for account closure is mentioned.
Cheque book has to be submitted to the bank or cheques that are not used are
to be handed to the bank so that bank can destroy them or in case the cheques
are not provided then customer has to assure the bank that the unused cheques
are destroyed by the customer. Also mention all the services that are to be
closed like Internet Banking, SMS Alert, Mobile Banking.
I learned about the "eBANKING SERVICES APPLICATION FORM". This form is for
obtaining VISA DEBIT CARD or for SMS Alerts service or eSTATEMENT or for using
Internet banking service for account. For obtaining any of the above mentioned service
95
first of all personal information of account holder is needed like Title of account, Mailing
address, Account number, Account type (joint or individual), CNIC number, Mother's
maiden name, Mobile number, E-mail Address.
During my internship, I dealt with many customers and that was a great experience to
learn:
How to deal with customers.
How to work under pressure i.e. in rush hours.
How to manage an office.
My communication skills were improved.
My confidence level boosted up.
On my first day at JS Bank I was given the orientation. Branch Manager and Area
manager Mr. Malik Lut Ful Manan Khan introduced me to the staff and told me that if
the Branch Manager is not present in the branch then Branch Operations Manager is
incharge and in case he too is absent then Customer Service Manager is incharge. The

97
SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH:
Well behaved staff.
Friendly staff due to which more and more customers attract to this branch.
People have developed trust in this bank in a short time.
Majority of people have opened accounts in this bank as compared to their
competitors.
This bank has become popular in a short time.
Employees are willing to share some of the burden of other employees.
Employees support each other emotionally which is important.
Bank has a family-like environment.
98
Employees greet their customers cheerfully and always ready for help also make
customers feel important which builds strong relationships with customers which
in turn is beneficial for the bank.
Employee salaries are good as compared to competitors.
Female protective culture prevails in JS Bank. Females are not held in office
during hours of darkness. If someone harasses females then females can
complain to Head office and punishments are given to the guilty person.
Responsibility of Western Union payments is given to the Customer Service
Officer who is female because majority clients for this service are female and so
that they are more comfortable with female officer. Also in case of recognition of
face females observing purdah can easily show their face to a female officer.
JS Bank is one of the pioneers in converting its bank branches to solar, including
in various philanthropic activities through its charitable arm.
JS Bank has been nominated by Ministry of Religious Affairs, Government of
Pakistan to accept Hajj Pilgrimage for the year. This is due to service excellence
and fast-track growth.
Extended timings for Home Remittance Transactions. JS Branches remained
opened from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm (Monday 13 August 2012 to Saturday 18
August 2012).
WEAKNESSES: It's competitors have first mover advantage. Competitors have been in the
industry way too long.
No name plates are displayed at any table of any officer or employee at JS bank
branch.
Employees should pay attention to clean desk policy.
Absenteeism of employees.
The branch size is small so during rush hours the branch looks over crowded.
ATM service is sometimes down.
The Branch has no locker facility available.
99
JS Bank has small branch network in the country.
Advertisement about JS bank is less as compared to its competitors.
ATM card charges are high for JS Bank as compared to competitors like MCB
etc.
Majority of people are not well aware of the products of JS Bank. Therefore it
should advertise extensively.
Mismanagement of time is another weakness, the official closing time is 5:30 pm
but due to mismanagement of time and work the staff are usually on their seats
till 7 or 8pm.
There is no overseas branch network of JS Bank. On the other hand its
competitors like MCB has 8 overseas branches while HBL has 20 and NBP has
15 overseas branches.
There is no Human Resource person at Regional level so all the duties of Human
Resource like selection of candidates for jobs, Interviewing the candidates and
giving jobs to candidates is done by Branch Manager alone. This can cause
biasness. There may occur many errors in selection.
OPPORTUNITIES: JS Branch should increase branch size so that more employees should be hired.
By increasing branch size gives the capacity to have more customers at any time
and avoid being over crowded.
Hire more employees and more departments should be added so that more
products and services should be provided.
JS Bank should increase its branch network in all across Pakistan.
No other bank branches are located at the far ends of the city so JS Bank should
open branches at the brink of the city so that customers should be at ease and
more people will definitely avail services of the bank that is in closest reach to
them.
Add more services like Money gram.
100
Increase advertisement about JS bank so that more people should know about
this bank.
THREATS: There are many competitors of JS Bank. The competition has become severe by
the entry of so many banks, so to exist one will have to prove itself in its services
through excellent management and will have to satisfy its shareholders.
Otherwise that bank will be out of the market.
All the competitors are at the same place.
Inconsistency in Government policies.
Image of other banks in customer's mind is strong because other Banks are in
the banking industry for far too long.
Government policies regarding tax change all the time and Government charge
more tax every time.
Current economic conditions of the country.
The decrease purchasing power of consumer in the current economic situation of
the country is affecting the speed of business activity and the result is low
investment from investors in new projects can cause problem for bank because it
is working a lot in trade.
Entrance of international banks in Pakistan.
There is a risk of a terrorist opening an account with bank. So Bank has to be
extra careful in dealing with customers and do not open such accounts if there is
even a hint that such person is or might be involved in terrorist activities even if
that person has high deposit.
101
CONCLUSION
The overall economy of the country is gradually improving and provided banks of all
sizes to take advantage. JS Bank has a fast growing deposit structure and it looks ready
to lend, should there be demand from private sector. JS Bank has a relatively clean
book, with non-performing loans well in check. An improvement in Current account and
saving account (CASA) ratio and further drop in cost of deposit should be the next step
forward. JS Bank has outperformed all the Primary Dealers during what has been an
extremely challenging year for Pakistani banking. JS Bank is counted amongst the most
performance driven banks on Pakistani landscape. All in all, things look sound enough
for JS Bank to continue to prosper in the near future.
