Established in 1972, The Dhaka Mercantile Co-operative Bank Limited (DMCB) operates as a cooperative society under the Cooperative Society Act of Bangladesh. Its stated mission is to foster savings among its members and provide them with credit to improve their socio-economic condition. However, it is not a licensed or scheduled bank under the country's Bank Company Act. Despite this, it has grown to have numerous branches and thousands of members, offering various deposit schemes and loan products. The organization has faced significant legal and regulatory challenges regarding its use of the word "Bank" and allegations of major financial misconduct.
