History
Bangladesh Bank accorded final approval to Citizens Bank PLC as a Commercial Scheduled Bank in the private sector on 15 December 2020.[4] Earlier, the bank had applied for an extension at several board meetings of Bangladesh Bank as it could not meet other required conditions including paid-up capital of BDT 500 crore.[5] The chairperson of the bank, Towfika Aftab, is married to AKM Aftab ul Islam who is a director of Bangladesh Bank.[6] Citizens Bank was given final approval at the 410th Board Meeting of Bangladesh Bank in 2020 after fulfilling the necessary conditions. After that, a letter was officially sent from the central bank to the Citizens Bank authorities to start banking activities in the country.[7] In November, Md Sayedul Hasan, managing director of the bank, died.[8]
Mohammad Masoom was appointed managing director of the bank in January 2021.[9]
The bank held its first annual general meeting in June at its headquarters.[10] It signed a memorandum of understanding with the Asgar Ali Hospital.[11] In September 2022, Bangladesh Bank approved Citizens Bank to operate as a primary dealer.[12]
