What Is This Scheme?

Bangladesh Bank’s Refinance Framework

Bangladesh Bank extends low-cost refinance funds to Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs) such as banks and NBFIs. These institutions then on-lend to SME borrowers at reduced interest rates — making credit more affordable than conventional market products.

Trust Finance & Investment Ltd. is an approved PFI under this scheme. By channeling BB refinance funds, we offer eligible SME clients financing that supports working capital, equipment procurement, trade operations, and business expansion at subsidized terms.

Regulated & Policy-Backed
This product operates under formal Bangladesh Bank circulars and policy guidelines. Terms, rates, and eligibility are subject to BB policy updates.

Interest Rate Advantage

Under the BB Refinance Scheme, interest rates are lower than standard SME products — because Bangladesh Bank subsidizes the cost of funds. This directly reduces the financial burden on SME borrowers, enabling more affordable EMIs and better cash flow management.
