What began as HBL’s entry into Bangladesh in 1976 has grown into a five decade banking presence.
Over the years, the bank has positioned itself around businesses that operate across borders, helping facilitate the movement of trade, investment and capital between markets.
The 50 year milestone was recently marked in Dhaka, bringing together HBL leadership, clients and representatives from the financial and regulatory community.

HBL’s role in Bangladesh extends beyond conventional banking. Its international network gives businesses access to financial connections reaching South Asia, China, the Middle East and Africa.
That wider footprint becomes increasingly relevant as companies look for new markets, investment opportunities and stronger international partnerships.
For HBL, Bangladesh remains an important part of a broader strategy focused on linking businesses with the capital and markets shaping the region’s future.

HBL is also expanding the financial options available to Bangladeshi businesses with RMB and CNY account services.
The bank is among a small group of South Asian and MENA institutions providing end to end RMB intermediation in China, allowing clients to manage China related trade and financial activity more directly.
After five decades in Bangladesh, HBL is entering its next chapter with an increasingly regional focus, connecting businesses to some of Asia’s fastest growing commercial corridors.
