DAI began working in August 1999 to transform the National Microfinance Bank (NMB), a troubled state-owned savings bank in one of the world’s poorest countries, into a profitable commercial bank providing a full range of services to poor and middle-income customers. We focused on growing the bank’s revenue base while instituting operational improvements to create a foundation for institutional strength.
