MTB celebrates 50 years of banking of its DMD

Quamrul Islam Chowdhury, a veteran of fifty years in banking including more than 15 (fifteen) years at Mutual Trust Bank Ltd. (MTB) retired Wednesday as MTB Deputy Managing Director and Group Company Secretary. His 50 (fifty) years of uninterrupted services is possibly a first in the Bangladeshi banking arena, and a record which could be difficult to emulate in the future.  

To say adieu to its eldest member, MTB arranged a farewell function for Chowdhury in the capital city, yesterday, which was attended by a large number of his colleagues. Speakers at the event recalled his dedicated and sincere services to the banking industry and conveyed their good wishes to him. Chowdhury is a founding member of MTB, which started its journey on October 24, 1999.

He has made remarkable contributions towards setting up the bank and been an integral part of its development, over the past 15 years, into today's MTB. Starting his banking career as a Trainee Officer in the erstwhile State Bank of Pakistan in February 1965, he worked for 34 years with Habib Bank/Agrani Bank in various capacities. Before joining MTB as Senior Vice President & Company Secretary in 1999, he was Deputy General Manager and Board Secretary of Agrani Bank, said a statement.
