Currently IPDC Finance Limited has 3700 deposit clients, among them, 1384 deposit accounts are owned by female clients.
Mominul Islam, Managing Director and CEO, IPDC Finance Limited said, “Women generally prefer recurring deposits. They prefer the value value-added services and relationship, which act as the prime preference indicator for availing any financial services. Women make or influence up to 80 per cent of household buying decisions worldwide and 73 per cent of women are globally reported being unsatisfied with their banking services. Hence, investing in women would be smart not only for the company, but also for the country.”
