SWOT Analysis: STRENGTHS: UBL has assets over Rs. 550 billion. UBL has 1112 domestic branches and 17 overseas branches. As an asset for the bank the majority of the employees are much more experienced. The salaries, allowances and incentives are very much attractive. It has the largest amount of corporate deals by any of other banks in Pakistan. It has the good ranking as a profitable bank in stock exchange. The targeted segments of UBL are like salar ied person, business people and self employed person. It has excellent reputation and image in the eyes of its customers. From its competitors UBL offers customized products and services aggressively. Operational efficiency has been improved as compared to past. 2nd largest Privatized bank of Pakistan. Fast delivery of online and offline services.

WEAKNESSES: Most of the branches are not up to the mark about its security system. To some extent employees were not properly dressed. In training the employees there was no any separate training center. As there are many experienced employees but they are not able to deal customers properly because they are unable to use the new IT technology. Orientation needed by the employees about the customer dealing. There is no equality in the standardization of the branches, means some branches are very much attractive for the customers and some are not.

As compared to other banks it is to some extent behind in IT technology. Due to the experienced employees there are many work overloads on them and the promotion is also not timely.

OPORTUNITIES: To enhance their network Call Center services should be improved. Their profit can be increased if new technology and modern business processes areimplemented. The employees of all the branches can cope up with the foreign banks if they are given a proper orientation. Fresh employees should be hired, so that they would have the knowledge about new IT technology.

THREATS: Political instability. Day to day increasing competition. High operating costs. Entrance of new foreign banks in Pakistan.
