MTB Turns Rewards Into Revenue While Boosting Card Usage and Customer Satisfaction using Loyalife
Mutual Trust Bank PLC (MTB) is a leading Bangladeshi bank offering comprehensive financial services across corporate, retail, SME, and Islamic banking. With a strong presence through branches, ATMs, agent banking centers, and the country’s largest air lounge network, MTB serves both urban and rural markets with an emphasis on customer-centric innovation.
