BCC like most large commercial banks performed non-banking activities and offered non-banking services for their clients and to general income from fees and commission.
Apart from commercial banking operations involved in accepting deposits, offering bank account services, extending loans, handling money transfers, and financing foreign trade, BCC also conducted various non-banking activities and offered other services.
Credit cards and travellers cheques issued by BCC generated additional income for the bank, while bureau de change activities, client services for high net worth individuals (HNWIs), and insurance and travel services helped in building the global recognition of BCC.
