At the ceremony, the Chairman of the bank, S.M. Parvez Tamal said that we established the Bank, but the bank is
operating by depositor’s money. Depositors and customers are owners of this Bank, we are only caretaker of the
institution.
He stated that they have been observing a decade of serving the community with devotion during the holy month
of Ramadan. One crore taka is being donated for the welfare of the disadvantaged people in society. Through the
branches of the rural areas and sub-branches of the NRB Bank, this money will be distributed to ten thousand
destitute people.
He further stated that we have established 1,616 service centers, including branches and sub-branches, to serve
the people of rural areas. Through these service centers, we provide services to one crore people every month. We
have also provided loans to 53,000 small entrepreneurs through the bank's micro-credit programs, which have led
to the employment of at least one lakh people.
The Vice Chairman of the bank, Rafiqul Islam Mia Arzoo, said, "We prioritize the welfare of the common people
more than that of the expatriates. We have come to serve the people through the bank, not to do business."
The Managing Director of the bank, Golam Awlia, stated that due to the efficient management policies and
techniques of the Board of Directors, NRB Bank has become one of the leading banks in terms of banking
operations and economy within only ten years. Through an extensive nationwide network, the Bank is providing
relentless service to people of all classes.
