Habib Bank Limited (Urdu pronunciation: [ha.ˈbiːb bɛŋk] hah-BEEB-BANK) is a Pakistani commercial bank based at Habib Bank Plaza, Karachi. It is a subsidiary of Swiss-based organisation Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development.
Established in 1941 by the Habib Family, it is one of the oldest bank of Pakistan. In 1972, the bank moved its headquarters to the Habib Bank Plaza, which became the tallest building in South Asia at the time. It was nationalised in 1974 by the government of Pakistan and privatised it in 2004; at that time, the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development acquired a controlling share and management control.[4]
HBL significant shareholding lies with the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED) which is based in Geneva, Switzerland.[5]
HBL is the largest domestic multinational company in Pakistan in terms of assets, and has repeatedly ranked as the top Pakistani company in the Forbes Global 2000.[6][7] It is also Pakistan's largest private sector bank, with over 1,700 branches and more than 2,000 ATMs. All HBL ATMs are linked to Visa and Mastercard, China UnionPay, and to the domestic 1LINK, MNET, and PayPak switches. IBFT (Interbank Funds Transfer) facility and utility bill payment capability are also provided at HBL ATMs. HBL branches also exchange foreign currency, initiate SWIFT and FEDWIRE transfers, and facilitate RAAST real-time money transfer transactions.[8]
