as an investment bank in August that year. In January, 2002 in an historic initiative, MEEZAN
Bank was granted the country’s first full-fledged commercial banking license as a dedicated
Islamic Bank, by the State Bank of Pakistan.
Having the largest branch network and product range, MEEZAN Bank bears the critical
responsibility of leading the way forward in establishing a stable and dynamic Islamic banking
system replete with dynamic and cutting-edge products and services. MEEZAN Bank aims to
fulfil its prime objective of providing customers accessibility and convenience, within an
atmosphere and culture of dedicated service and recognition of their needs.

develop innovative, viable, and competitive value propositions that not only meet the
requirements of today’s complex financial world, but do so with world-class service excellence

The Bank has a market share of 35% in Islamic banking industry of the country. Pakistan’s
banking sector consisting of Islamic Banks, Private Banks, Public Sector Banks, and Micro
Finance Banks. These Banks are doing Corporate Banking, Trade Financing, Lease Financing
and some Banks are providing online banking facilities, ATM facility and money transfer
facilities also.
Banking sector is a back bone of our economy. If this sector is making progress than whole
economy is also growing a lot. Our Agricultural sector, Industrial sector, mining sector, Export
sector all depend on the banking industry because Banks provide long term funds as well as short
term funds to all these sectors to meet out their short term as well as long term requirement.
Hence, banking progress is necessary indeed.
