Al-Arafah Islami Bank PLC has successfully regained customer confidence and operational stability despite a recent financial sector crisis in Bangladesh. The bank avoided liquidity support from Bangladesh Bank, maintained uninterrupted customer services, and saw no cheque dishonor incidents. Deposits rose to Tk 54,593 crore by December 2025, up from Tk 51,609 crore a year earlier, while the number of deposit accounts increased by more than 229,000. In the first four months of 2026, the bank earned Tk 85 crore in operating profit and added 180,000 new accounts.
Following Bangladesh Bank’s governance reforms in 2025, which included replacing the board and disciplining over 600 staff for irregularities, Al-Arafah Islami Bank underwent major restructuring. System upgrades enhanced digital and core banking operations, while agent banking and rural development programs expanded financial inclusion. The bank now operates 226 branches, 89 sub-branches, and 738 agent outlets across 306 upazilas.
The bank’s management credits transparency, accountability, and technology-driven modernization for restoring trust. Its progress in digital and rural banking is viewed as a model for sustainable recovery in Bangladesh’s financial sector.
