All depositors of Jamme Islami Bank—including savings, current, and term deposits—will be able to receive monthly profits starting February. Bangladesh Bank Governor Dr. Ahsan H. Mansur announced this. Simultaneously, profits against remittance and savings certificates can also be withdrawn immediately.

The Governor stated, “Some quarters are spreading malicious propaganda about Jamme Islami Bank. These attempts will fail. All depositors’ principal amounts are completely safe, and funds will be returned gradually.”

He further stated that market-based profit is being provided in all schemes since January 1. For deposits exceeding one year, the profit rate is 9.5%, while deposits under one year receive 9%.

The government provides 4% support for two years, costing nearly 4,500 crore BDT for the banking sector. He urged everyone not to be misled by rumors.

Jamme Islami Bank was formed by merging multiple Islamic banks, including Exim, Social Islami, First Security Islami, Global Islami, and Union Bank, with approximately 7.6 million depositors and 1.42 trillion BDT in deposits. Currently, 77% of loans disbursed are classified as defaulted.

The Governor emphasized that depositors’ interests are a top priority and that all issues will be resolved gradually, making the bank more transparent and robust.
