After a long wait, relief is returning to the customers of the merged five banks. From September 1, individual depositors of Sammilita Islami Bank will be able to withdraw the principal as needed. At the same time, there will be no 'haircut' on the profit of deposits. Earlier, a decision was made to cut the profit for 2024 and 2025, but it has been withdrawn in the new directive. Bangladesh Bank has also ordered necessary steps to normalize the bank's operations.
