What NCC Bank does
NCC Bank PLC (National Credit and Commerce Bank PLC) is a Dhaka-headquartered, DSE-listed private commercial bank in Bangladesh operating since 1985 (converted to a full commercial bank in 1993) with 132 branches, 148 ATMs, 10 Upa-Shakhas, and over 10 million customers. The bank provides a full-stack product portfolio spanning deposit accounts, retail and SME lending, corporate and trade finance, treasury and primary dealer operations, Islamic banking, NRB remittance, and card services through Visa, Mastercard, and Bangladesh's national TakaPay network. It operates NCCB Securities, a wholly-owned stock broking subsidiary with DSE/CSE membership and CDBL depository participant status serving 15,000+ clients. The bank earns revenue primarily through net interest income on its lending book (home, car, personal, education, health, professional, marriage, CMSME, NRB, and corporate loans), supplemented by transaction fees on remittance, cards, trade finance, treasury, and securities brokerage commissions (0.45%).
The bank's technology stack centers on a digital overlay built around core banking infrastructure: the NCC Always internet/mobile banking platform (implemented by Brain Station 23 PLC), the Sanchayee digital onboarding app for eKYC-based instant account opening, the newly launched Digital Loan Management System (DLMS) deployed nationally with Unisoft Systems Limited, and SMS banking via shortcode 7464. It maintains 24/7 API connectivity with bKash and Nagad mobile wallets, MoneyGram and 48 MTO partners for remittance disbursement, and Visa/Mastercard payment rails. Compliance posture is anchored by Primary Dealer status since 2003, PCI-DSS certification, and ISO 27001:2022 certification achieved in two months. NCC Bank monetizes through subscription-style deposit products, interest-bearing and fee-based loan products, transaction-based brokerage and remittance fees, and trade/treasury spreads, distributed via direct retail, enterprise sales teams, digital self-serve, and a partner/reseller remittance ecosystem.
