The cited sources are (1) a press release, (2) coverage of the press conference announcing the launching of the bank, and (3) a photo caption. The Daily Star also covered the press conference, ostensibly independently of The Financial Express, but their story is strikingly similar, suggesting that neither performed any real analysis, just repeated the company's presentation.

Searches of the usual Google types found one independent article about the government threatening to penalize the bank (and 21 of the country's 54 other merchant banks) for not managing any IPO for two years. There's also one article about an industry award, Euromoney, that is made to sound as if it's hot stuff. But every year about 1,000 banks self-nominate for a couple hundred awards by the organization. Editor JzG has written, "Most industry awards exist as an excuse for a night out on expenses." These awards look like a prime example of that.

I'm not seeing significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time. Self-promotion is not the route to notability. Worldbruce (talk) 22:37, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
