The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has imposed penalties of Rs290.363 million on six major banks for violating various regulatory laws during the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Among these banks, Bank Al Habib Limited was slapped with the highest penalty of Rs140.03 million in the latest action by the regulator for violating regulatory instructions pertaining to CDD/KYC (Know Your Customer/Customer Due Diligence, asset quality, FX (Foreign Exchange) and general banking operations.

In addition to penal action, the bank has been advised to strengthen its controls/processes in the identified areas.

Meezan Bank Limited was penalised to the tune of Rs81.72 million. The bank was found to be in violation of rules pertaining to CDD/KYC, asset quality and general banking operations, said SBP.

Dear concern banks played a role of Economic Terrorism aagainst Pakistan during the time when Pakistan was at the verge of default.Strict action and heavey penalties to the tune of their entire annual income and subsequent cancellation of their. I suggest the the Govt. to withdraw alll their funds from these banks, down grade their ratings and keep them on Terrorist watch list.

The business recorder has done a good job by disclosing the names of the banks involved in irregularities. On the other hand the express tribune newspaper hides the names.

SBP should move ahead from merely penalizing. Should take actions against officials and recurring branches must b closed or b jept under watch.

What a rubbish talk you all are doing, which is meaningless and useless. You comments doesnt make any sense. You all are layman and doesn't know any thing about regulatory compliance and penalizing structure if SBP. First find a job in a bank than talk. Because of you financial institutions are penalised.

I hope SBP is also following local banks to speed up their digital transformation to provide customers 21st century digital products n services. Currently provided digital banking in most banks is of 2nd generation (2005-2010) whereas most of the world is enjoying 4th generation digital banking services. These banks are simply avoiding to invest in fintech.
