INTRODUCTION TO HBL:
HBL was the first commercial bank to be established in Pakistan in
1947. Over the years, HBL has grown its branch network and become
the largest private sector bank with over 1,600 branches and 1,650 ATMs
globally and a customer base exceeding eight million relationships.
The Government of Pakistan privatized HBL in 2004 through
which AKFED acquired 51% of the Bank's shareholding and
management control. HBL is majority owned (51%) by the Aga Khan
Fund for Economic Development, 42.5% of the shareholding is retained
by the Government of Pakistan (GOP), whilst 7.5% is owned by the
general public i.e. over 170,000 shareholders following the public listing
that took place in July 2007.
With a global presence in 29 countries, HBL is also the largest
domestic multinational. The Bank is expanding its presence in principal
international markets including the UK, UAE, South and Central Asia,
Africa and the Far East.
Key areas of operations encompass product offerings and services
in Retail and Consumer Banking. HBL has the largest Corporate
Banking portfolio in the country with an active Investment Banking arm.
SME and Agriculture lending programs and banking services are offered
in urban and rural centers.

HISTORY of HBL:
Habib Esmail, founder of Habib Group, started his career in
Bombay in 1891 at the age of 13 on a salary of Rs. 5 per month in a firm
that dealt in copper and brass utensils. He worked day and night,
arriving before the shop opened, staying till late in the night, and then
walking home to save money on conveyance. No wonder that in the
short span of five years, at the age of 18, he was made a partner in the
firm. Even at that young age, he had established an excellent reputation
for honesty, hard work, fair play, trustworthiness, humility. These values
continue to guide the activities of Habib Group to this day.
During the next 17 years, he captured over 60 percent of the local
utensils business and diversified into export of copper, cotton scrap iron
5

and manganese ore, selling to East Africa, Italy, France and Great
Britain. Being a person of great insight, he sent his representatives to
Europe in 1912 and established branch offices in Genoa and Vienna.
Simultaneously, he initiated business relationships with Japan and
China.
His reputation for honesty and fair play was so well known that his
customers and local merchants would leave their surplus funds with him
for safe-keeping and investment, thus establishing the foundation of the
family's banking business. In 1921, he started Habib & Sons. The firm
traded in cotton, oil seeds, and bullion and acted as a merchant bank. It
eventually became the flagship of the family and the parent company of
Habib Bank Limited.
Habib Bank Limited was established in Bombay in 1941 by the sons
of Habib Esmail. The bank had over 30 branches operating in India at
the time of partition. Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah reposed
confidence in the bank by opening his personal account. On the creation
of Pakistan in 1947, and following the advice of the Quaid-e-Azam,
Habib Family shifted all of its businesses including Habib Bank to
Pakistan. The bank played a vital role in meeting the financial and
banking needs of Pakistan. It continued to record tremendous growth
and progress, it emerged as the leading private-sector commercial bank
in Pakistan when it was taken over by the Government of Pakistan along
with all other Pakistani banks on January 1, 1974.
In 1991, the government again decided to allow the private sector to
establish commercial banks in the country. Dawood Habib Group was
amongst the first to be granted permission to set up a new bank under
6

this policy. Bank AL Habib Limited was incorporated in October 1991

by the grandsons of Habib Esmail and started operations in January
1992. Although Bank AL Habib commenced operations in 1992, it
embodies the same high standards of integrity, prudence, and trust which
have characterized Habib Family's banking operations in Pakistan and
abroad for about 70 years.
The bank is particularly conscious of the trust reposed in it by the
depositors, and its prime duty is to protect and honor this trust all times.
Guided by the values taught and practiced by Habib Esmail more than a
century ago, the bank has continued to grow and progress in all areas of
its operations. In a short span of 20 years, the Bank's assets have grown
to more than Rs. 380 billion, with a network of 452 branches and subbranches, a Wholesale Branch in the Kingdom of Bahrain, and
Representative Offices in Dubai, Istanbul and Beijing, China
