This flagship initiative under the bank's Corporate Social Responsibility was launched to empower underprivileged women through skill development, financial literacy, microfinance, and digital banking solutions, according to a press release.
A standout feature is the graphic design course, organised in partnership with Creative IT Institute, benefiting a significant numbers of women by providing them with practical digital skills and opening doors to new career opportunities. The programme also includes mentoring and entrepreneurial support to promote long-term financial independence.
Besides, the financial literacy and inclusion program targets 250 women from marginalised communities, including farmers, micro-entrepreneurs, and students. By fostering financial literacy through workshops and instant account opening via MTB's E-KYC platform, the program integrates women into the formal financial system, reducing reliance on informal channels.
Syed Mahbubur Rahman, MD & CEO of the Bank, remarked, "This award underscores our dedication to empowering women and driving their journey toward financial self-reliance."
MTB continues to foster inclusivity and create sustainable pathways for women's growth in Bangladesh's evolving economy.
