Bangladesh launches Sammilito Islami Bank, merging five failing banks into the nation’s largest, with government backing and guaranteed depositor access.
A new state-run, Shariah-compliant bank, Sammilito Islami Bank, is set to launch in Bangladesh within days, formed by merging five struggling financial institutions.
Backed by Tk 35,000 crore in capital, it will be the country’s largest bank, funded by government support and converted deposits and liabilities.
Depositors can withdraw up to Tk 2 lakh immediately, with additional withdrawals every three months, and will earn market-rate interest from launch.
The bank will invest Tk 10,000 crore in sukuk bonds to generate annual income of Tk 800–900 crore.
All branches and accounts will remain open, and staff will keep their positions, though salaries may be temporarily reduced by 20%.
The merger is governed by the Bank Resolution Ordinance 2025.
