Pubali Bank was a first generation bank, initiated by a group of Bangali entrepreneurs during the then East Pakistan regime in 1959, to provide credit to Bangali business people who were often denied by other banks and financial institutions.
After the independence, the bank was nationalised in 1972; and again in 1983, the bank was de-nationalised.
From then, the bank has been playing significant role in socio-economic development in the country by prudent banking operations.
“Excellency in delivering services has been key to success in our banking operations,” said Sayed Abdullah Jisue, a senior officer who is serving at the bank’s head office.
