VS MEEZAN BANK & FAYASL BANK PRODUCT COMPARISON OFFER TO CUSTOMERS

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.

Basic Difference between conventional and Islamic banking

Conventional Banking Islamic Banking The functions and operating modes of

conventional banks are based on fully manmade principles.

The functions and operating modes of Islamic banks are based on the principles of Islamic Shariah.

The investor is assured of a predetermined rate of interest.

In contrast, it promotes risk sharing between provider of capital (investor) and the user of funds (entrepreneur).

It aims at maximizing profit without any restriction.

It also aims at maximizing profit but subject to Shariah restrictions.

It does not deal with Zakat. In the modern Islamic banking system, it has become one of the service-oriented functions of the Islamic banks to be a Zakat Collection Centre and they also pay out their Zakat.
