Recent activity

Provenance & notes

Established 1993 by Syed Humayun Kabir (former chairman of Renata Ltd) and partly endowed by Renata shares. Zahida Fizza Kabir is CEO. Runs one of the larger MFI operations in Bangladesh and is MRA-licensed (signed an MRA annual performance agreement for Jul 2023-Jun 2024). Self-reported figures (~175,000 borrowers, 18 districts, ~1,949 staff) appeared in secondary sources but were not confirmed against an annual report/regulator filing, so member/staff/branch and financial fields left null.
