Premier Bank PLC has mobilised a record Tk 3,003 crore in new deposits within a 60-working-day period, the bank announced on Monday.
The influx occurred between April 1 and June 30, 2026, driven by the institution's "Special Deposit & Recovery Campaign 2026."
The move mirrors broader trends in the local financial market, where peers such as BRAC Bank PLC have also reported significant milestones in their funding bases.
The rapid accumulation of funds highlights the intensifying competition for retail and corporate deposits in Bangladesh's banking sector.
With liquidity conditions tightening across the region, Premier Bank's ability to attract such a volume of capital in a short timeframe suggests strong customer confidence or aggressive pricing strategies to secure funding.
This development follows the bank's 27th annual general meeting, held recently in Dhaka, where management likely outlined its strategic priorities for the fiscal year.
The deposit surge provides the lender with a stronger base to expand its lending book, potentially supporting growth in corporate loans and retail credit facilities.
