Mutual Trust Bank PLC (MTB) has been named Best Commercial Bank Bangladesh 2025 by the US-based Global Excellence Chronicle Magazine Awards. The recognition reflects the bank’s continued focus on performance, governance, and customer trust.
Over the years, MTB has championed responsible banking, prioritizing sustainable growth, financial inclusion, and strong corporate governance—principles that have earned it numerous accolades at home and abroad. This latest global recognition underscores MTB’s role in shaping Bangladesh’s banking landscape through its extensive branch network, cutting-edge digital platforms like MTB Neo, and dedicated support for SMEs and diverse customer segments.
In 2024, MTB recorded the highest profit in its history. Its non-performing loan ratio remains well below the industry average, and its capital adequacy comfortably exceeds regulatory requirements. The bank was also ranked among the top 10 sustainable banks by Bangladesh Bank in 2023.
MTB Neo, the bank’s flagship digital platform, offers highly convenient digital banking services in the industry. Norfund—the Norwegian government’s development finance institution—remains MTB’s largest shareholder, and the Bank’s Board is widely respected for its governance and strategic stewardship.
Syed Mahbubur Rahman, Managing Director & CEO of MTB, said: “We’re grateful for the recognition. It speaks to the work we’ve done together—staying focused on sound banking, responsible growth, and customer-first innovation. This is an encouragement to keep raising the bar.”
Global Excellence Chronicle Magazine annually honors organizations that set benchmarks in business performance and leadership across industries.
