On the occasion of its 22nd founding anniversary, Standard Bank Limited (SBL) has distributed relief assistance among underprivileged people affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in the country.

During the first phase of relief distribution, the bank is going to provide relief assistance to 2300 crisis-stricken families through 23 of its 138 branches across the country, said an SBL press release on Saturday. \

Earlier on Thursday, the bank organised a Doa-Mahfil marking its 22nd founding anniversary where the bank's Chairman of Board of Directors and former FBCCI president Kazi Akram Uddin Ahmed inaugurated the relief distribution initiative as chief guest.

At that time in regards to the relief distribution activities, Kazi Akram Uddin Ahmed said, "We believe that not only business success but also being able to put a smile on people's faces is the biggest success"

The bank's Managing Director and CEO, Khondoker Rashed Maqsood said, "Standard Bank was, is, and will be by the side of the distressed people of the country in any moment of disaster."

Managing Director and CEO of the Bank, Khondoker Rashed Maqsood; Vice-Chairman of the Bank Ashok Kumar Saha; Directors Messers Kamal Mostafa Chowdhury, Ferozur Rahman, Md Monzur Alam, SAM Hossain, Mohammed Abdul Aziz, Al-Haj Mohammed Shamsul Alam, Gulzar Ahmed, Md Zahedul Hoque, Al-Haj Mohd Yousuf Chowdhury, Ferdous Ali Khan, Kazi Khurram Ahmed, Md. Abul Hossain; Independent Director Najmul Huq Chaudhury; Additional Managing Director Md Touhidul Alam Khan; Deputy Managing Director Mohammad Rafiqul Islam; acting Company Secretary Md Ali Reza and about 2500 employees of the bank's head office and 138 branches across the country were present at the virtual inaugural function of the relief distribution program
