Dhaka Bank has signed an agreement with MetLife Bangladesh to offer its employees comprehensive life insurance coverage.

This partnership will ensure that more than 1980 Dhaka Bank employees are protected against critical illness, accidents, disabilities, and loss of life, said a press release on Saturday.


Sheikh Mohammad Maroof, the managing director of Dhaka Bank, and Ala Ahmad, chief executive officer of MetLife Bangladesh, signed the agreement recently in a ceremony attended by senior officials from both organizations.

‘Insurance coverage for employees plays a critical role in fostering a sense of security and loyalty among the workforces. Providing insurance protection mitigates the financial burden on people in times of crisis and highlights an organization’s commitment to the wellbeing of its team,’ the release said.

Dhaka Bank has selected MetLife as its insurance provider due to MetLife’s consistent track record of claims settlement, customized solutions, advanced dashboard, cashless outpatient and ambulance service, and financial strength, which allows it to pay claims faster and without hassle, it said.

‘Dhaka Bank has a remarkable legacy of excellence in the banking industry of Bangladesh. By providing MetLife’s insurance for our employees and their families, we are demonstrating our commitment to the people who passionately contribute to the success of our organisation,’ commented Sheikh Mohammad Maroof, Managing Director of Dhaka Bank.

‘We would like to congratulate Dhaka Bank for prioritizing employee wellbeing. MetLife remains committed in supporting organizations to create a secure and resilient future,’ said Ala Ahmad, the CEO of MetLife Bangladesh. 

From Dhaka Bank, Md Mostaque Ahmed, deputy managing director, Sheikh Abdul Bakir, deputy managing director, and AMM Moyen Uddin, deputy managing director, were also present at the agreement signing from Dhaka Bank along with other senior officials.

From MetLife, Jafar Sadeque Chowdhury, additional managing director and chief distribution officer, Ala Uddin, deputy managing director and chief financial officer, Mohammad Kamruzzaman, director and head of employee benefits, Monirul Islam, assistant director, employee benefits, and SM Shahriaz Arafat, manager, employee benefits, were also present.
