Thakurgaon is completely an agro-based district of northern zone. In this district RAKUB is serving farmers and other professionals of this area for the socio-economic development through 5 upazilla and 14 union level branches. Unfortunately, it is true, banking service development did not get priority in context to the real demand and future prospect of local agronomy earlier

But, since 2010 (3 to 4 years) RAKUB with the promotive and brighter leadership of Prof. Dr. M. Shahnowaz Ali, Chairman of the Board of Director of this Bank and top management, we have brought a massive change in banking service and mentality of farmers and business alites through organizing deposit banking fares in opening new savings, school banking and other term deposit accounts; disbursing loans in NCDP crops like potato, Boro, Robi-crops, etc.; SME credit/cash credit/ working capital, dairy and beef fatting loans towards the genuine growers and entrepreneurs of this district.
