AB Bank in Gulshan, Dhaka

On December 31st, 1981, AB Bank Limited was established as Bangladesh's first private sector bank. Since its official launch on April 12, 1982, Arab Bangladesh Bank has strived to become the country's premier financial institution.

With the goal of becoming the industry standard by providing long-term value to customers, shareholders, workers, and the local community, AB has established a legacy to be proud of and envied by many. Through all of its successes and transformations over the past four decades, AB has remained true to its mission of becoming Bangladesh's leading technology-driven creative bank. AB has effectively launched online banking, SMS banking, cutting-edge ICT, state-of-the-art network solution, 24/7 ATM service, and many more e-products to succeed in this new era of technical victory.

Over the past three decades, AB's service offerings have expanded significantly, both domestically and internationally. The bank's first location was in Karwan Bazar, and since then it has expanded to 105 locations across Bangladesh, as well as an international branch in Mumbai, India, and 270 automated teller machines (ATMs). Its primary banking operations are supported by a network of 5 affiliated entities, one of which is an Off-shore Banking Unit. To further expand its international activities, the bank set up a representative office in Yangon, Myanmar.
