National Bank Limited has started accepting applications from depositors for withdrawing their money from today, while the bank will allow withdrawals according to customers’ demand from October 15.

Bangladesh Bank Executive Director and Spokesperson Arif Hossain Khan confirmed it,
The move comes amid concerns over the bank’s liquidity situation and its ability to meet depositors’ withdrawal demands.

Earlier, National Bank Chairman Melita Mehezeen and Acting Managing Director Zahidul Haque met Bangladesh Bank Governor on October 8 and briefed him on the bank’s overall situation.

During the meeting, the governor said the central bank was monitoring National Bank’s liquidity position and its ability to meet customers’ demand for withdrawals.

He also made it clear that Bangladesh Bank would not provide assistance by printing money. Instead, National Bank would have to arrange funds by borrowing from other banks to repay depositors.

The latest move is expected to provide depositors with an opportunity to withdraw their funds in line with their needs, as the bank works to address its liquidity challenges.
