History

Faysal Bank started in Pakistan in 1987 with a tiny branch and as a subsidiary of Faysal Islamic Bank, a Bahraini bank owned by Mohammed bin Faisal Al Saud, the son of the late King Faisal of Saudi Arabia.[6]

It was incorporated in Pakistan on 3 October, 1994 as a public limited company under the Companies Ordinance, 1984. ABN AMRO Bank Pakistan, a predecessor to Faysal Bank, acquired Prime Commercial Bank consisting of 69 branches and spanning 24 cities in 2007 for US$227 million to expand its loan and deposit base.[7]

In June 2010, Royal Bank of Scotland sold its Pakistan operations to Faysal Bank for GB£34 million.[8]

In 2014 it announced to convert itself into a full-fledged Islamic Bank in three to five years.[9]
