“HBLK will cease to be a bank licensed by CBK, and its rights and obligations will be taken up by DTB. All HBLK stakeholders including depositors, borrowers, employees, and creditors will therefore continue their relationships with DTB,” the central Bank said in a statement.

The central bank said that the merged entity will have a combined market share of around 6%.
