Prime Bank has announced a 30 per cent dividend for 2025, comprising 25 per cent cash and 5 per cent stock, according to a press release.
It has also introduced consumer loans against Treasury bonds, which it said marks a significant development in the country's banking and financial services sector.
The decision on dividends was taken at a meeting of the bank's board of directors on Sunday.
The bank reported a 24 per cent year-on-year growth in net profit after tax (NPAT) to Tk 9.1 billion in 2025. It has scheduled its annual general meeting (AGM) for May 21 with
the record date set for April 28.
Meanwhile, the lender rolled out the consumer loan product on receiving guidance from the Bangladesh Bank on April 2. It completed the first loan disbursement by the next morning demonstrating swift execution and operational efficiency, another press release claimed.
The new facility allows customers to unlock liquidity by borrowing against their Treasury bond holdings, enabling them to meet financial needs without liquidating their investments.
"This achievement reflects our capacity to innovate within regulatory frameworks while delivering meaningful value to our customers. We remain focused on introducing progressive financial solutions that enhance accessibility, flexibility and efficiency," said M. Nazeem A. Choudhury, additional managing director of the bank, in the press statement.
