The BFIU instructs banks to submit all documents by 15 July
The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has asked for bank account details of Islami Bank Bangladesh Chairman Md Obayed Ullah Al Masud and his family members.
The anti-money laundering agency sent letters to all scheduled banks seeking information today (14 July).
The BFIU letter instructs that all documents — such as account opening forms, updated statements, savings certificates, bonds, lockers, credit cards, student files, prepaid and gift cards, and other transaction vouchers worth Tk5 lakh or more linked to Obayed Ullah Al Masud, his family members, or anyone connected to their interests must be submitted to the agency by 15 July.

According to Bangladesh Bank sources, following the student-public uprising that led to the ouster of Sheikh Hasina, the board of directors of Islami Bank was dissolved. On 24 August last year, five new independent directors were appointed to the restructured board, with Obayed Ullah Al Masud named as chairman.
Obayed Ullah previously served as managing director of Sonali Bank from 2016 to 2019, and before that, as MD of Rupali Bank from 2012 to 2016. He took over the chairmanship of Islami Bank after an extended retirement following his tenure at Sonali Bank.
