History

NRB Bank is an innovative fourth generation bank in Bangladesh which commenced banking operations on 04 August, 2013, with a vision to be the leading dedicated financial institution for Non-Resident Bangladeshis (NRBs) to invest in Bangladesh and for Bangladeshi individuals and corporates to access international markets.

Since the 1990s, the massive diaspora of migrant Bangladeshis had been demanding a platform to invest in their home economy in a better, smarter way. NRB Bank became a pioneer in fulfilling that need by innovating the Migrants’ Sponsored Banking (MSB), a newly invented banking structure. The concept of this structure was birthed to reduce dependency on international financial institutions in the long term. Since our inception, we have brought innovations to the banking system and lived up to our motto of being “Not Just Another Bank”

With a goal to create customer loyalty, shareholder value and employee satisfaction, and always keeping the core tenets of sustainable banking close to our heart, we have launched a wide variety of products and services under different categories such as Retail Banking, SME Banking, NRB Banking, Corporate Banking and E-Banking.

NRB Bank reaches the customers through numerous delivery channels, including Branch Banking, Agent Banking, Real-time Online Banking, Internet Banking, SMS/Alert, VISA Debit/Credit Card with Global Access and Shared Network across the Country. As of 2023, we have 51 branches, 29 Sub-Branches, 51 ATM booths outlets and 311 agent outlets across the country.
