From a leasing operation in 1992 to a full-service investment bank today — our history is one of deliberate growth, strong governance, and an enduring commitment to our clients.
Trust Investment Bank first came into being in February, 1992. It was incorporated as a public listed company under the Companies Ordinance, 1984 and is listed on the Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad Stock Exchanges.
The Bank was formed by Mr. Tajjamul Hussain, a senior banker — with a capital base of Rupees One Hundred Million — and it commenced leasing operations in June, 1992.
In January, 2005, the Bank obtained a licence to undertake Investment Finance Services business under the Non-Banking Finance Companies (Establishment & Regulations) Rules, 2003. It was subsequently granted the status of an investment bank by the State Bank of Pakistan and the name was changed to "Trust Leasing & Investment Bank Limited" in August, 2005.
To expand the scope of business further, in March, 2007 the name was again changed — to "Trust Investment Bank Limited" — the name under which the institution continues to operate today. The Bank is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan.
The company is categorized as a Non-Banking Finance Company and is licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan to engage in Investment Banking and Leasing — operating within one of the most rigorously regulated financial frameworks in the region.
Trust Bank will always assign the highest value to creating and maintaining an environment conducive for high performance, through recognition and reward for integrity, creativity, performance and leadership among employees of the Bank. Acknowledgement and appreciation of performance is seen as a measure to achieve the ultimate objective of customer satisfaction and value for shareholders.
The Bank is governed by a Board comprising seasoned professionals from across the financial and corporate sector.
