DHAKA, Dec 26, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh Bank (BB) today issued a clarification 
regarding the withdrawal of funds by depositors of five banks currently 
undergoing a merger process, cautioning the public against misinformation 
circulating in various media outlets.
 
"The process to allow depositors of these five banks to withdraw a maximum of 
Taka 2,00,000 based on their requirements will commence shortly," said BB 
Executive Director and spokesperson Arif Hossain Khan through a message.
 
 
However, he emphasized that no specific date or time has yet been finalized 
for the start of this withdrawal facility.
 
The clarification was prompted by recent reports on social media and certain 
news platforms claiming that depositors of one of the merging banks could 
begin withdrawing money from Monday. 
 
The Bangladesh Bank has officially stated that this information is incorrect 
and baseless.
 
The central bank urged all stakeholders and the general public not to be 
misled by such false information.
