Please can someone tell me which bank to open and account for my spc with 500bd capital. HBL bank said not available now. NBB said it will take 1 month for approval. Update me anytime you get to see my message thanks.

I have already highlighted difficulties with opening bank accounts with such low capitals:

If HBL is not allowing now, the best option is NBB even with the approval timelines. Due to the virus and associated economic impacts like defaults, many banks have really toughened their policies.
