Corporate Objectives

Sindh Bank’s vision for promoting economic activity to empower the people of Pakistan and create employment opportunities, brings upon it an onerous responsibility to deliver results.

Thus the Bank’s policies are focused on:

  • Promoting SME sector by providing financial solutions to small and medium sized entrepreneurs.
  • Funding projects yielding economic benefits to the country.

  • Laying a sound foundation for the bank and delivering attractive value for the shareholders’ investment while remaining within the ambit of regulatory requirements.

Entity Rating

Entity Rating

  • The Long-Term Rating AA- ( Double A Minus) reflects highest credit quality; protection factors are strong; risk is modest but may vary strictly from time to time because of economic conditions.

  • The Short- Term Rating A-1+ (Single A Plus/ A-One) indicates strongest likelihood of timely repayments of short- term obligations with strongest liquidity factors.

Subsidiaries

Sindh Microfinance Bank (SMFB) started its operations in May 2016 as a provincial level microfinance bank. Since then SMFB has grown sustainably with profitable operations from very beginning. To date the Bank has disbursed more 125k loans in excess of Rs. 3.0 billion to women entrepreneurs through its 75 locations covering almost all of Sindh Province.

Due to SMFB’s strong performance indicators and low default ratios, the Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) assigned the initial entity ratings of A- for the long term and A2 for the short term which in PACRA’s perspective captures the strength of SMFB as a growing institution in the microfinance sector.

SMFB’s key achievements so far have been as follows:

  • Profitable from very 1st year of operations
  • 100% women loan clientele
  • Over 80% rural financing
  • More than 100k loans disbursed
  • The lowest per borrower cost in the industry
  • Highest profit growth (37%) in 2019 amongst all MFB’s
