NRBC Bank held a meeting for its Cumilla Zone on Friday at a hotel in Feni to review operations and set strategic goals for the region.
Chairman Md Ali Hossain Prodhania attended the event as chief guest, alongside Managing Director and CEO Dr Md Touhidul Alam Khan, DMD and CFO Harunur Rashid, and Cumilla Zonal Head Kazi Mohammad Ziaul Karim.
Officials from all branches and sub-branches under Cumilla, Noakhali, Chandpur, and Feni districts participated.
Addressing the meeting, the chairman directed officials to reduce classified loans in the zone from 5 per cent to zero. He stressed ensuring transparency, regulatory compliance, and proper legal steps to enhance asset quality and strengthen loan recovery.
He also called for reducing fund costs through increased mobilisation of low-cost and interest-free deposits, and prioritising disbursement in the CMSME sector.
The managing director highlighted the bank’s wide branch network and urged expansion of services to support both large industries and small enterprises in the region.
He said the bank must play a stronger role in the development of local micro and small businesses, especially through its grassroots-level banking services.
