The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has issued a new directive requiring all bank chairmen, managing directors, and directors to sign written pledges against corruption, bribery, money laundering, and fraud. The instruction, sent through an internal letter to banks, mandates that these signed declarations be displayed prominently in office spaces. The BFIU has also provided a fixed format for the pledge.
According to the directive, the move follows concerns over weak corporate governance, loan management, and risk control in recent years, with widespread loan frauds reported in the banking sector. The initiative aims to strengthen ethical standards, accountability, transparency, and anti–money laundering measures across financial institutions.
The BFIU further stated that the pledge and declaration will be required for every new or reappointed chairman, director, or managing director. Customers who face bribery, corruption, or harassment while seeking banking services will be able to report directly to the BFIU.
