Dhaka Bank PLC won ‘Momentum Award’ at the 11th Trade and Supply Chain Finance Programme Awards 2025 hosted by the Asian Development Bank, said a press release.
This marks the second consecutive year that Dhaka Bank has been honoured by ADB for its expertise and efficiency in international trade finance.
In 2024, the bank was awarded as the ‘Leading Partner Bank’ in Bangladesh for executing the highest number of transactions in collaboration with the ADB.
Dhaka Bank deputy managing director and chief emerging market officer Md Mostaque Ahmed received the accolade from Steven Beck, head, and Neha Noronha, unit head, South Asia, of trade and supply chain finance at ADB, in Singapore on September 2.
The ceremony was attended by about 200 representatives from the ADB’s partner banks and financial institutions worldwide.
Each year, the ADB bestows the ‘Momentum Award’ upon banks under its TSCFP programme that demonstrates the largest year-on-year increase in international trade transactions.
This recognition underscores Dhaka Bank’s continued success in expanding its global footprint while delivering superior services to clients and partners across markets, the release said.
Since 2009, Dhaka Bank has been an enlisted issuing bank in the ADB’s TSCFP, utilising the platform to enrich, support and expand international trade for corporate and SME clients.
