BRAC Bank and BRAC, marked the distribution of BRAC’s share of the dividend declared by the bank for the 2025 financial year at an event titled “BRAC Family – For the People, For the Country” held in Dhaka on June 18, 2026, a press release said.

BRAC Bank declared a 30% dividend for 2025, comprising 15% cash and 15% stock. BRAC received BDT 110 crore from the dividend distribution.

The event highlighted the longstanding relationship between BRAC Bank and BRAC, reflecting a pioneering model in which returns generated through mission-aligned commercial investments support scaling up BRAC’s development programmes in Bangladesh.

BRAC Bank was established with a mandate to operate as a profitable and socially responsible financial institution while contributing to Bangladesh’s economic and social development through its association with BRAC.

Speaking at the event, Meheriar M. Hasan, Chairperson of BRAC Bank, said: “The true measure of success is not only how value is created, but how that value is shared. As our largest shareholder, BRAC reinvests the dividends it receives from BRAC Bank into programmes that improve lives across Bangladesh. It is a powerful demonstration of finance serving a greater purpose - where commercial success ultimately translates into social progress.”

Tareq Refat Ullah Khan, Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, said: “Today’s dividend handover symbolises far more than a financial distribution. It reflects a unique partnership where sustainable business performance directly contributes to improving lives through education, healthcare, livelihoods, financial inclusion and climate resilience. Knowing that the value we create ultimately serves society inspires us to remain steadfast in the values-based banking philosophy envisioned by our founder, Sir Fazle Hasan Abed.”

Receiving the dividend on behalf of BRAC, Asif Saleh, Executive Director of BRAC, said: “This partnership demonstrates how sustainable business performance can support long-term social progress. BRAC Bank’s success helps strengthen BRAC’s work in creating opportunities for marginalized people across Bangladesh. As part of BRAC’s broader ecosystem of solutions, the bank plays an important role in generating the resources that enable us to invest in programmes and innovations that address complex development challenges.

The event was attended by senior leaders from BRAC, bKash, BRAC University, and other BRAC-affiliated organizations.
