The Investment Corporation of Bangladesh (ICB) has launched MyICB, an app to deliver quality services, and bring various office services to users’ fingertips.
The country’s only state owned investment bank launched the app at its office in Motijheel on Thursday.

Md Abul Hossain, managing director of ICB, presided over the launching ceremony. They said investors can avail various services of the ICB and its three subsidiaries instantly with the app, which will save time, money and labour.

Suborna Barua said to implement the financial inclusion, the app will help the ICB to provide proper services in time.
