First in Bangladesh to disburse consumer loan against Treasury bond

Prime Bank PLC has reached a major milestone by becoming the first bank in Bangladesh to offer a consumer loan secured against treasury bonds. The initiative marks a significant development in the country’s banking and financial services sector.

After receiving guidance from Bangladesh Bank on Thursday, the bank completed the first loan disbursement by the following morning.

The swift turnaround, the bank said, reflects strong operational coordination and execution capacity across the institution. The new product enables customers to unlock liquidity by borrowing against their treasury bond holdings, allowing them to meet financial needs without selling their investments.
