BRAC Bank’s dividend payout to BRAC reaches Tk 110cr

BRAC Bank PLC recently handed over Tk 110 crore in dividends to BRAC, its largest shareholder and a global development organisation, from the bank’s 2025 earnings at an event, titled “BRAC Family – For the People, For the Country”, in Dhaka.

The bank declared a 30 percent dividend for 2025, comprising a 15 percent cash dividend and a 15 percent stock dividend, according to a press release.

“The true measure of success is not only how value is created, but how that value is shared,” said Meheriar M Hasan, chairperson of the bank, at the event.

“As our largest shareholder, BRAC reinvests the dividends it receives from BRAC Bank into programmes that improve lives across Bangladesh.”

“It is a powerful demonstration of finance serving a greater purpose, where commercial success ultimately translates into social progress,” he added.

Tareq Refat Ullah Khan, managing director and CEO of the bank, said the dividend handover reflected a unique partnership in which sustainable business performance supports initiatives in education, healthcare, livelihoods, financial inclusion and climate resilience.

Receiving the dividend on behalf of BRAC, Executive Director Asif Saleh said the partnership showed how sustainable business growth could support long-term social progress and create opportunities for marginalised people across the country.

“As part of BRAC’s broader ecosystem of solutions, the bank plays an important role in generating the resources that enable us to invest in programmes and innovations that address complex development challenges,” he added.

The event highlighted the longstanding relationship between BRAC Bank and BRAC, under which returns from mission-aligned commercial investments help support BRAC’s development programmes in Bangladesh.

Senior leaders from BRAC, bKash, BRAC University and other BRAC-affiliated organisations attended the event.
