Activities perform during internship

In Askari Bank Ltd. I really enjoyed my internship period. The staff of Askari bank
Branch really guided me to learn the basic of banking. It was almost impossible to
work in the entire department within that limited time. But my request, the staff of
the branch provided me the opportunity to work in the different departments for the
bake of practical knowledge. I examined the environment of the organization,
system of rendering services, the attitude of the staff which would help me in future
career. In my internship period I learned these things.

If the account is of minor, UBL staff, Illiterate, Blind or Registered Alien, it
should be checked respectively. Passport size Photographs are required in this
case and customer can only make the transaction personally. Make sure
signatures are not too simple or shaky. If so, again passport size photographs
may be required and transactions can only be made personally for customer's
own security.

what are the prerequisites of opening an account of individuals minors,
shaky hand signature persons and different company account opening
procedure. The officer briefs me about how to fill the account opening
account forms, about specimen signature card and about introduce of the

ATM card and on its receipt, its activation process.

Account Opening Form:

In all the documentation within the bank, clearness and tidiness are the major
features. Over writing and cutting should always be avoided as it may lead to
any misinterpretation. Account Opening Form is the most important
documentation when a customer walks in for commercial banking and wants
to develop a relationship with us.
