EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The banking structure in Pakistan comprises of the following types, State Bank of Pakistan,
Commercial bank of Pakistan, Exchange Bank, Saving Bank, cooperative banks, specialized credit
institutions.
SONERI BANK LIMITED Incorporated on September 28, 1991 the first branch of Bank formally
opened doors for operations in Lahore on April 16, 1992 followed by Karachi Branch on May 09,
1992. The bank now operates with 118 branches spread all over Pakistan including the Northern
Areas of the country where no other private bank has ventured so far. Expansion of branches is
based on a policy of maintaining a balance between the urban and rural areas with a view to
offering services even in the remote areas of Pakistan.
In six week internship program, I have worked in different departments like General banking, trade
department and credits department. I have learned about the banking from experienced managers
running these departments.
This report contains the information about SBL that I have gathered during my six weeks
internship period. This report basically deals in General banking, trade and credits where I worked.
The bank is using SWIFT for transfer of information about imports and exports. SBL basicallycover three departments like General Banking Department, Trade department and credit
department.
To open an account the customer has to meet Operations Managers with an introducer. The
introducer must have an account in bank, or introducer might be the employee of the bank. Soneri
bank strictly followed the account opening procedure. The bank cant open an account of customer
before the verifications comes from NADRA. SBL has different types of account like, Basic
Banking A/C. Current account, PLS and Soneri PLS A/C.
They store all the information of their customers in data base. After entering data, they assigned
customer an ID is known as Customer Relationship Management ID. He told me with the help of
this ID their different branches can easily get information about customer account.

In clearing and remittances section they have very efficient system. They clear the cheque through
NIFT (National Institute of Facilitation Technology)where SBP exits. In remittances they told me
about T.T D.D. and pay orders. Now people prefer D.D instead of T.T. D.D is a banker instrument
and draft used for outside the city. It is valid for six month. Bank use pay order, when the payment

What is Letter of credit?
Letter of Credit:
Letters of credit are used primarily in international trade transactions of significant value, for deals
between a supplier in one country and a customer in another. The parties to a letter of credit are
usually a beneficiary who is to receive the money, the issuing bank of whom the applicant is a
client, and the advising bank of whom the beneficiary is a client. Almost all letters of credit are
irrevocable, i.e., cannot be amended or canceled without prior agreement of the beneficiary, the
issuing bank and the confirming bank, if any.
STEPS INVOLVED IN OPENING L/C
There are following steps are involved in L/C
After a contract is concluded between buyer and seller, buyer's bank supplies a letter of
credit to seller.
Seller consigns the goods to a carrier in exchange for a bill of lading.

7/31/2019 Soneri Bank Internship+%28Marketing%29
29/66
Seller provides bill of lading to bank in exchange for payment. Seller's bank exchanges bill
of lading for payment from buyer's bank. Buyer's bank exchanges bill of lading for
payment from buyer.
Buyer provides bill of lading to carrier and takes delivery of goods.
TYPES OF LETTER OF CREDIT
There are two types of letter of credit that are given below.
Revocable Letter Of Credit
Irrevocable letter of credit
Revocable Letter of Credit L/C
A revocable letter of credit may be revoked or modified for any reason, at any time by the issuing
bank without notification. It is rarely used in international trade and not considered satisfactory for
the exporters but has an advantage over that of the importers and the issuing bank. It should be
indicated in LC that the credit is revocable. If there is no such indication the credit will be deemed
as irrevocable.
IRREVOCABLE LETTER OF CREDIT L/C:
In this case it is not possible to revoke or amended a credit without the agreement of the issuing
bank, the confirming bank, and the beneficiary. Form an exporters point of view it is believed to
be more beneficial. An irrevocable letter of credit from the issuing bank insures the beneficiary
that if the required documents are presented and the terms and conditions are complied with,
payment will be made.
Form-E
It describes the details of the goods to be exported, the importers particulars, the amount of
foreign currency payments and the details of the importer as well. Government has provided
facility to exporter in taking Form-E from any bank and can present it to any bank for negotiation.
Exporter proceeds realization certificates, SBP gives rebate to exporter against exporter after
realization, it is paid according to commodity wise and bill wise. Claim period: 1 year

SONERI BANK MARKETING STRATEGY
SEGMENTATION
Market segmentation is a concept in economics and marketing. A market segment is a sub-set of a
market made up of people or organizations with one or more characteristics that cause them todemand similar product and/or services based on qualities of those products such as price or
function. A true market segment meets all of the following criteria: it is distinct from other
segments (different segments have different needs), it is homogeneous within the segment
(exhibits common needs); it responds similarly to a market stimulus, and it can be reached by a
market intervention. The term is also used when consumers with identical product and/or service
needs are divided up into groups so they can be charged different amounts for the services. The
people in a given segment are supposed to be similar in terms of criteria by which they are
segmented and different from other segments in terms of these criteria. These can be broadly
viewed as 'positive' and 'negative' applications of the same idea, splitting up the market into
smaller groups.
Examples:
Gender
Price
Interests
Based on three basis:
Demographic.
Psychographic.
Behavioral Style
Demographic:
Income.
Occupation.

PEST ANALYSIS(Political Environmental Social & Technological)
Political:
Political factors influencing the bank performance. We have seen, 10 yrs back the banking sectorin Pakistan was flourishing, and the reason was political stability. Now the banking sector is
declining not able to meet the required requirements by SBP. The reason is political instability.
Particularly, agriculture people get benefits due to relations with politicians. Such people get loanand job on references.
Economical:
Population of Pakistan is very rich as compared to other countries. So economical factors are goodfor banking sectors. Soneri Bank always looking forward to cater their customer by its attractive
offers like Basic Banking A/C for salaried persons. SBL has mission that we have more tome for
you
Social Factors
Social and cultural factors are affecting the bank. Majority of the population is un-educated and
unaware of the benefits of banking sectors. They have low saving and want to keep money withthem.
Technological factors:
Technologically, SBL is strong and this element strengthens to SBL. Online banking advances and
any transactions bank has speedy network. The reason of their speedy network they have limited
operations. Their first priority is customer satisfaction. For this they have established IT-Department in every branch to cater network problems.
SWOT ANALYSIS
There are following strength weakness opportunity and threats for SBL.
STRENGTH:
Since, inception of SBL, it has moved rapidly in expanding branch network and deposit
bases along with profitable advances and increasing the products and services. SBL isserving particular certain community like (Agha Khanis). They are considering being their
loyal customer. Agha Khan Hospital, Agha Khan Laborites and Agha Khan Medical
College, All they have an account with SBL. Agha Khan is a Big name.
The Pakistan Credit rating Agency Limited (PACRA) has maintained banks credit rating.SBL has been awarded an AA- for long term and A1+ for the short term and A+ for
the Term Finance. Certificates reflecting banks well maintained risk profile with preserved
sound asset quality.
In order to maintain an effective communication of information regarding the need ofvalued client bank has designed its website to be user friendly as possible,
SBL collaborate with different cellular companies to provide bank statement on their
customerscell phone.
Loyal workforce and satisfied Customers.
WEAKNESS:

63/66
As per bank policy, advertising and publicity is not extensively emphasized. Through
advertisement customers could be kept abreast with the product and services.
The main focus of SBL is major cities of Pakistan. Its direly needed to extend its network
and people should be educated about the functioning of bank.
Poor employee development and promotion. During the training the trainer couldnt gavethem proper information. So the trainee faces problem.
Defensive approach in lending.
No branches of Soneri bank are in any other country. So the bank has to incur additional cost
for correspondent banking.
OPPORTUNITY:
The life cycle of an organization is comprised of threats as well as opportunities. If we say,
today the rates of challenges are too high but simultaneously the rate of opportunity is also
too high. It is obligatory to try to make progress with consistency as well as to adaptchanges with the need of time, in order to cope up with both conditions.
In the prevailing scenario, SBL should penetrate further and capture various corporatecustomer as well as retail customer by expanding their network.
In addition to the excellent routine banking, it has earned a good name by offering specialproducts like Soneri car finance, ghar finance and personal finance. So the penetration of
these products could enhance the market share.
SBL has launched another division know as Islamic Banking. This new aspect will also
attract a large number of people, who dont want to deal with interest bearing bank.
If SBL focusing on advertisement it would be good for organization, because promotions
makes people know about the products of SBL.
Management should also open new branches is rural areas to capture market share.
SBL can enjoy handsome return its funding base by investing in capital markets in theforeign countries.
If management of SBL giving facility of night banking to its customer. I think it would alsoattract the other bank customers.
THREATS
While doing business, threats are part of business. Especially, in this era, most of thefinancial institutions are working as Private Limited Company and facing or have a fear of
threat from their competitor as well as new entrants. In order to maintain as well as
enhance the market share , SBL always try to introduce new schemes /packages like Sonerigenerator finance etc
In our country, the rate of inflation is increasing along with unemployment. So due to
increase in price of the products, the saving of the people is decreasing with passage oftime. So it is threat for banking sector. In future the deposits of the bank will decreases.
The number of banks in Pakistan increasing with passage of time. Foreign bank like to
open their branches in Pakistan. So it would be threat for SBL.
SBL has also threat with different bank who are offering the same product like
o Home finance
o Car Finance
o Self Finance
o Education Loan

So management may face problem.
Uncertainty in political and economical environment.
Mergers and Acquisitions are other threat to bank.
Impact of Privatization.
CONCLUSION OF SWOT ANALYSIS
Since SBL has decent strengths and opportunities in the market, its market share is increasing and
it is expanding its branches rapidly. So I concluded that SBL is adopting and implementing onGrowth Strategy.
SUGGESTIONS
If I was the manager of SBL. There are following suggestions for SBL.
The life cycle of an organization is comprised of threats as well as opportunities. If we say,today the rates of challenges are too high but simultaneously the rate of opportunity is also
too high. It is obligatory to try to make progress with consistency as well as to adapt
changes with the need of time, in order to cope up with both conditions.
In the prevailing scenario, SBL should penetrate further and capture various corporate
customer as well as retail customer by expanding their network.
In addition to the excellent routine banking, it has earned a good name by offering special
products like Soneri car finance, ghar finance and personal finance. So the penetration ofthese products could enhance the market share.
SBL has launched another division know as Islamic Banking. This new aspect will alsoattract a large number of people, who dont want to deal with interest bearing bank.
If SBL focusing on advertisement it would be good for organization, because promotionsmakes people know about the products of SBL.
Management should also open new branches is rural areas to capture market share.
SBL can enjoy handsome return its funding base by investing in capital markets in the
foreign countries.
If management of SBL giving facility of night banking to its customer. I think it would also
attract the other bank customers.
Well at the same time SBL has some threats with different product line of their
competitors. Now what they have to do? They just reduce their mark up rate as compare totheir competitors. By doing this they may capture big market share. In long run it would
also beneficial for the bank.
They must focus on their own Marketing team, rather than outsourcing, their own
Marketing team launches new ads.
Management should give their customer good mark up rate.
CONCLUSION
Soneri bank Limited is engaged in banking service, and operate more than 118 braches including
four Islamic Banking Branches in Pakistan. The bank operates in four segment corporate finance,
trading and sales, retail banking and commercial banking.
