Objective of the study:

  To know about CSR Activities of DBBL.
 To know about Entrepreneur in Bangladesh

Introduction:

Dutch Bangla Bank

Dutch-Bangla Bank Limited DBBL is most widely recognized for its donations to social causes
and its IT investment (largest ATM network). However it has recently stated that it will stop
expansion on its ATM network as the current numbers have exceeded demand and hence
diminishing returns (if any). Although it is widely believed it is a loss-making/subsidized unit
which DBBL rationalizes as quasi CSR.

The bank is often colloquially referred to as "DBBL", "Dutch Bangla" and "Dutch Bangla Bank".

Dutch-Bangla Bank started operation is Bangladesh's first joint venture bank. The bank was an
effort by local shareholders spearheaded by M Sahabuddin Ahmed (founder chairman) and the
Dutch company FMO.

From the onset, the focus of the bank has been financing high-growth manufacturing industries
in Bangladesh. DBBL's other focus is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Even though CSR
is now a cliché

, DBBL is the pioneer in this sector and termed the contribution simply as 'social responsibility'.
Due to its investment in this sector, DBBL has become one of the largest donors and the largest
bank donor in Bangladesh. The bank has won numerous international awards because of its
unique approach as a socially conscious bank.

DBBL was the first bank in Bangladesh to be fully automated. The Electronic-Banking Division
was established in 2002 to undertake rapid automation and bring modern banking services into
this field. Full automation was completed in 2003 and hereby introduced plastic money to the
Bangladeshi masses. DBBL also operates the nation's largest ATM fleet and in the process
drastically cut consumer costs and fees by 80%. Moreover, DBBL choosing the low profitability
route for this sector has surprised many critics. DBBL had pursued the mass automation in
Banking as a CSR activity and never intended profitability from this sector. As a result it now
provides unrivaled banking technology offerings to all its customers. Because of this mindset,
most local banks have joined DBBL's banking infrastructure instead of pursuing their own.
