Description

Habib Bank, now referred to as HBL, was the first commercial bank established in Pakistan in 1947. Over the years, HBL has maintained its position as the largest private sector bank with over 1,700 branches and 2,000 ATMs globally and a customer base of ten million plus. In 2015, CDC invested $121 million in Habib. In a country where over 20 million people do not have a bank account, our investment will help people on low incomes access financial services. Since our 2015 investment, the bank became a majority shareholder in First Micro Finance Bank (FMFB).
