Dhaka, April 6, 2021: BRAC Bank has organized a learning session for its employees on gender prejudices for bringing about positive changes both in the society and at work.

Tashnuva Anan Shishir, Bangladesh's first trans-person news broadcaster reader, was invited as the speaker at the session. She shared the ups and downs of her life, the condition of other trans-persons in Bangladesh and what the society can do for them in order to positively include them in the main stream.

The session -- part of TENDERtalk - a series of BRAC Bank’s internal learning sessions -- was organized on a digital platform today, April 6, 2021, with more than 650 participants. The objective of this session was to sensitize the employees on the third gender issues, a press release said.

Tashnuva Anan Shishir said: "I had to prove to the society that I exist. Today, I feel honoured that BRAC Bank invited me to talk about my journey with its senior executives. I appreciate this change-making initiative and I'm hopeful that this will further open the path for social inclusion of the trans-persons in the formal job markets".

She is now pursuing a Master's in Public Health at BRAC University, where she is the first trans-person to receive a scholarship to obtain a master's degree. She has been a leader in various Bangladeshi NGOs supporting the trans-persons, such as Bondhu Social Welfare, TransEnd, the National Human Rights Commission of Bangladesh, Rethink, and her platform, Shree: Voice of Sexual Minority.  

BRAC Bank's Head of Human Resources Akhteruddin Mahmood said: "BRAC Bank is a pioneer in taking change-making initiatives, be it financial inclusion of the CMSMEs, or the social inclusion of the less fortunate people. Earlier, we employed acid victims in our workforce and we're planning to employ the trans-persons in our bank. Tashnuva's struggle and success have made us confident towards the inclusion of all walks of people in our bank".

TENDERtalk is a BRAC Bank HR-initiated series of dialogue for the employees to lead many changes in the society. The HR team invites experts and activists to TENDERtalk and the invitees share their knowledge and experiences with BRAC Bank’s people.

Dhaka, Sunday, March 28, 2021: BRAC Bank has contributed to Ashrayan-2 Project, a Bangladesh government development project under the Prime Minister's Office tasked with building homes for homeless and the displaced.

BRAC Bank has handed over a cheque of five crore taka (BDT 50 million) to the Bangladesh Association of Banks (BAB) today in favour of Bangabandhu Memorial Trust as part of this contribution.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the Ashrayan-2 project in January 2021, intending to provide a home for the homeless marking Mujib Borsho and the golden jubilee of the country's independence.

The Ashrayan-2 Project is working to alleviate the poverty of the landless and homeless families of Bangladesh by focusing on human resource development. The project will work directly with the target population and will intervene to improve their living conditions, education, health, and income opportunities.

This is the first-ever POS transaction-based financing solution by a bank in Bangladesh. 

Syed Abdul Momen, Head of SME Banking of BRAC Bank said, "Swipe Load will not only help businesses run smoothly by encouraging acceptance of debit cards and credit card payments but will also inspire our customers' transit to digital modes of payment."

The 'Swipe Load' loan tenure will be 12 months. The interest rate for this facility is 9 per cent for businesses owned by male proprietors and 7 per cent for female proprietors. Interest will be charged and deducted quarterly on the utilized amount of daily Swipe Load day-end balance.

Dhaka, Monday, March 8, 2021: BRAC Bank has recently organized a day-long training programme on “Prevention of Trade-Based Money Laundering” for its people.

Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) lent resources to run the training programme held on Saturday, February 27, 2021. 

Former Bangladesh Bank deputy governor and Head of BFIU Abu Hena Mohd Razee Hassan inaugurated the training programme as the chief guest. 

Sawkatul Alam, General Manager, BFIU, was also present as Special Guest in the programme. 

A.K.M. Nurunnabi, Deputy General Manager, BFIU, and Syed Kamrul Islam, Deputy General Manager, BFIU, were the key resource persons of the training. 

The Head of BFIU said: "BFIU is taking stringent measures to identify threats and vulnerabilities that could undermine the integrity of the financial institutions. Hence prevention of trade-based money laundering is an important issue for all banks. BFIU is happy to extend its hands to support the banks in better understanding of the issues and reasons of suspicious transactions and activity reporting."

The Government of Bangladesh promulgated the Money Laundering Prevention Act, 2002. Subsequently, to meet emerging international standards, subsequent amendments were made in 2008 and 2012. The main objective of the 2012 Act is to tackle illegal money transfers to different countries.

Selim R. F. Hussain, the Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, thanked the senior BFIU officials for spending the day at the bank's head office for the training programme. 

Hussain said: "There is all kind of customers in a bank and a few of the not-so-honest always lurk for taking advantage of the law. Some of their transactions, exports, and imports are such that you will not be able to find an ill purpose in them."

"As the government pays special attention to this issue, continuous efforts are being made to prevent it, and trade-based money laundering laws have been enacted. Banking professionals have a lot of responsibility to ensure proper implementation of this law", he added.

Hussain also mentioned some of BRAC Bank's state-of-the-art technologies for price verification, tracking of vessels and containers, cross-checking and screening of transaction history to combat trade-based money laundering.

More than 600 BRAC Bank employees joined the training programme via a digital platform while the department and unit heads along with the bank's senior management were present physically.

Dhaka, Thursday, February 18, 2021: Moody's Investor Service has upgraded the Foreign Currency credit rating for BRAC Bank in December-2020 to Ba3 from B1. 

Moody’s also reaffirmed BRAC Bank’s Local Currency Deposit Rating as "Ba3" - the highest for any Bangladeshi bank rated by Moody's. This is the fourth consecutive year that the bank has obtained the highest credit rating from the internationally renowned rating agency.

Moody's statement mentions that BRAC Bank's rating reflects the bank's robust profitability and capitalization, strong asset quality compared with those of its industry peers; driven by its competitive advantage in the higher-yielding small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) segment; and stable funding profile and liquidity.

Commenting on the issue, Selim RF Hussain, managing director of BRAC Bank said, "BRAC Bank stands on a solid ground with stable funding and liquidity, supported by our good governance, brand reputation, and sizable distribution network".

Moody's report also says that BRAC Bank's capitalization is the highest among the Bangladeshi banks that they rate, supported by strong internal capital generation and a conservative dividend policy. 

It is mentionable that BRAC Bank is the only Bangladeshi bank to maintain the sovereign rating standard of Ba3 for four consecutive years.

Dhaka, Wednesday, February 10, 2021: BRAC Bank has recognized 62 of its COVID-19 Heroes who performed at the forefront and back-office, and served the customers during the challenging times of 2020, said a press release.

Bangladesh Bank had directed all the scheduled banks in its BRPD Circular Letter No. 18 to provide special healthcare insurance and grant-in-aid to the frontline employees who were infected with COVID-19 while performing their duties during the government-declared general holidays in 2020.

Akhteruddin Mahmood, Head of HR of BRAC Bank said: "BRAC Bank has contributed BDT 35.3 million to acknowledge 62 of its people who were infected by COVID-19 during that time frame. Unfortunately, one among the 62 employees could not survive the COVID impact. The family was compensated in December 2020 with five-times of the allocated fund for the employee as per the BRPD circular."

Selim RF Hussain, the managing director and CEO of BRAC Bank said: "We are proud to have such valiant front-liners among us. We have come this far and resurged from that difficult time because of the courage, commitment, and valor of these people who provided uninterrupted service to our valued customers in a time the entire world closed down. We express our heartfelt gratitude to them."

As a values-based financial institution, BRAC Bank’s Health Insurance Policy also covered the cost of treatment for the employees who were infected by COVID-19.

BRAC Bank celebrates fast-growing agent banking network

Dhaka, Wednesday, January 27, 2021: BRAC Bank has reached the milestone of building a network of 500 Agent Banking outlets, according to a press release of the bank issued today.

The bank inaugurated 50 new Agent Banking outlets in 27 districts across the country in a single event held over a digital platform today to join the milestone of 500. 

Commenting on this achievement, the Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, Selim RF Hussain, said: "We are proud to have reached the milestone of opening 500 Agent Banking within a short period of time. I would thank all our Agent Banking partners and my Agent Banking colleagues for this remarkable achievement."

The number of the bank's Agent Banking outlets stands at 500 to date, starting from October 2018 with 10 outlets in 8 divisions.

BRAC Bank, a pioneer in SME banking, currently serves its customers through 187 branches, 456 SME unit offices, and 374 ATM and CDM booths across the country. Earlier, the bank held a digital event to open 50 new agent banking outlets in 27 districts reaching to 500 Agent Banking outlets in 64 districts. 

Nazmur Rahim, Head of Alternate Banking Channel of BRAC Bank, said: "BRAC Bank is making relentless efforts to drive financial inclusion across the country. Agent Banking is an ideal model to take the banking services to a customer's neighborhood, especially benefitting the disadvantaged and lower-income people in remote locations."

He said: "Our agents are our development partners, our representative to the mass people. Together we pledge to make more contributions to the sustainable development of the country." 

BRAC Bank has a dedicated Agent Banking app that helps the outlets provide services that other commercial banks can't. It also developed an Agent Banking manual for its partners so that their collective services promise advanced technology-based banking experience and reliable customer service. It will help the bank become a preferred institution of trust and confidence among people from all walks of life, Rahim added.

BRAC Bank management also expressed gratitude to the government, the Bangladesh Bank, and other regulatory authorities at the event.

Dhaka, Tuesday, January 26, 2021: BRAC Bank Agent Banking has introduced a new community engagement programme titled 'Uthan Boithok'.

'Uthan Boithok' was first launched in December 2020 with the objective to bring more unbanked people to avail the financial services at the agent outlets and add value to the national economy, especially in geographically remote and rural locations.

The agent of an Agent Banking Outlet arranges 'Uthan Boithok' with support from the district level Agent Banking officials. BRAC Bank has organized 5 Uthan Boithoks to date in different districts.

Selim RF Hussain, the Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, said: "BRAC Bank was found to spearhead financial inclusion in the country and Agent Banking is one of our key channels to achieve that goal. Starting in 2018, we have one of the fastest-growing Agent Banking networks in Bangladesh". 

Nazmur Rahim, BRAC Bank's Head of Alternate Banking Channel, said: "Uthan Boithok is a unique initiative to enhance financial awareness and enrich people’s knowledge about the bank and banking. They are more inspired when they get to learn together about our products and services i.e., DPS, FDR, overseas remittance processes and opening accounts. It is encouraging to see that the people are participating and contributing more to the economy."

The Agent Banking field officials along with BRAC Bank's respective Branch Managers and other branch officials as well as the SME Unit Office representatives participate in the 'Uthan Boithok' programme and discuss the rules and benefits of banking through Agent Banking outlets.

Agent banking is defined as the banking service provided outside of regular bank branches by engaged agents under a valid agency agreement. It was first introduced in Bangladesh by Bangladesh Bank in 2013.

Dhaka, Monday, January 11, 2021: Bangladesh Bank (BB) and BRAC Bank have jointly organized a workshop for enhancing the knowledge of BRAC Bank officials on SME financing.

BB lends resources to run the workshop that is part of the Second Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Development Project (SMEDP-2), funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

Cottage, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (CMSMEs) are considered the lifeblood of emerging economies. Bangladesh Bank is contributing significantly to promote CMSMEs in Bangladesh. They issued an FID circular no.01/2017 on November 15, 2017, to implement SMEDP-2.

The primary objective of SMEDP-2 is to ensure easy access to finance for the CMSMEs located outside of the Dhaka and Chattogram metropolitan areas. The loans are disbursed to the CMSMEs through the Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs). Around 21 banks and 12 NBFIs (non-banking financial institutions) have signed agreements as PFIs in the project. BRAC Bank officials related to SME financing and SMEDP-2 took part in the virtual workshop.

Prashanta Mohan Chakraborty, Joint Director, Bangladesh Bank and Project Manager of SMEDP-2, and Mahfuza Akter Tenni, Assistant Director, Bangladesh Bank, and Project Officer of SMEDP-2, were resource persons for the workshop.

The trainers discussed Bangladesh Bank's guidelines and initiatives regarding SME financing, gave an overview of policies and guidelines of SMEDP-2, and also talked about the application procedures and common mistakes of refinancing applications in the capacity building workshop.

A. K. M. Fazlur Rahman, Executive Director, Bangladesh Bank and Project Director of SMEDP-2, was the chief guest at the workshop while Rezaul Karim Sarkar, Deputy General Manager, Bangladesh Bank and Deputy Project Director of SMEDP-2, was present as special guest.

Selim RF Hussain, the Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, and Syed Abdul Momen, Head of SME, were also present during the workshop.

The virtual workshop took place on January 5, 2021, Tuesday, at the BRAC Bank head office in the capital’s Tejgaon district.

Partnered Phoenix Insurance and Adorsho Pranisheba Limited to boost the livestock industry

Dhaka, Thursday, December 31, 2020: BRAC Bank, in partnership with Phoenix Insurance and Adorsho Pranisheba Limited, has launched a project for cattle farmers in Bangladesh.

The project, dubbed Khamari, will ensure financial support and inclusion of the livestock farmers. It will also provide the farmers with digital means for better cattle-caring.

The livestock will also be insured so that the farmers can benefit from mitigating the risk of livestock loss caused by accidental death, diseases, partial disability, or even death during calving.

MA Mannan, MP, Honorable Minister, Ministry of Planning, formally inaugurated Khamari at a virtual ceremony held on December 30, 2020.

Selim R. F. Hussain, Managing Director & CEO, BRAC Bank; Md. Jamirul Islam, Managing Director & CEO, Phoenix Insurance; Fida Haq, Managing Director & CEO, Adorsho Pranisheba Limited; Syed Abdul Momen, Head of SME Banking, BRAC Bank; Dr. Aolad Hossain, Livestock Researcher, and Columnist; and Dr. SM Nazrul Islam, President, Bangladesh Veterinary Association, were also present at the inauguration.

"I believe that the Khamari project will further develop and enrich the country's livestock sector. It will encourage our farmers to raise livestock commercially and create new entrepreneurs across the country, especially in rural areas. Khamari will surely strengthen the economy", the Planning Minister said.

Selim R. F. Hussain said: “Since its inception, BRAC Bank has a particular focus on SME financing with a broader vision of financial inclusion and pro-poor growth. Khamari, I think, will boost the country’s cattle rearing sector and encourage more people to start farming commercially on a bigger scale. This initiative bears testimony to the bank’s commitment to digital experience as well as inclusive banking, especially for the small and marginal farmers".

Md. Jamirul Islam said: “We are excited to roll out insurance coverage facility for the cattle farmers. We shall continue to introduce more innovative products in partnerships to cater to the needs of the small businesses.”

Phoenix Insurance will provide full insurance with support from Adorsho Pranisheba, who will provide IoT Tracking System and Facial Recognition by Artificial Intelligence for livestock in this project.

Fida Haq explained how the Pranisheba App will work for the farmers and how they could benefit from this digital cattle monitoring platform. He said, "The purpose of Pranisheba is to contribute to the overall economic development of cattle farms, including the provision of livestock insurance using technology in rural areas of the country".  

He expressed confidence that with Khamari, a new age for the cattle insurance industry will rise in Bangladesh.

Adorsho Pranisheba Limited is one of the leading AgriTech startups in Bangladesh and working to develop an ecosystem in the livestock and agricultural sector under the Companies Act, 1994.

Dhaka, Sunday, December 27, 2020: BRAC Bank has completed its disbursement process of the Tk 20,000-crore stimulus fund for the cottage, micro, small and medium enterprises (CMSMEs). The bank is one of the first three banks in the country to have completed the process, a press release said.

As of December 3, banks have disbursed about BDT 8,600 crore among 52,000 CMSMEs according to the central bank's latest data, media reports said. 

BRAC Bank, a pioneer for SME lending in Bangladesh, is among the first three banks that have completed the disbursement process. The two others are Bangladesh Krishi Bank and Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan Bank.

As of December 24, 2020, BRAC Bank has disbursed BDT 1,185 crore to 12,669 CMSMEs across the country. Starting from June 2020, the bank took only six months to complete its massive disbursement target of BDT 1,100 crore.  

Considering the performance, Bangladesh Bank has recently allotted an additional BDT 200 crore to BRAC Bank for disbursement. 

BRAC Bank's Head of SME, Syed Abdul Momen, said: "We are glad to have closed the disbursement before the deadline. Payment of small loans typically takes longer as it takes more time to scrutinize the documents of the CMSMEs. However, with the guidance of the Central Bank, slowly but steadily, we have completed the disbursement and kept our promise."

He added, "Even during the outbreak of COVID-19 in Bangladesh, we continued our support to the CMSMEs. We have disbursed more than 61,000 loans to the CMSMEs that accounts for BDT 10,181 crore as of November 30, 2020".

BRAC Bank's Managing Director and CEO, Selim RF Hussain, said: "BRAC Bank has always been a pro-SME bank. I thank our government for coming up with the much-needed stimulus packages for the CMSMEs and proactively demonstrating ways to damage-control of the economic losses."

To avert effects on the CMSMEs and encourage the banks to disburse stimulus packages, the government announced loans at 4 per cent for the CMSMEs; as banks charge the CMSMEs 9 per cent interest, the government announced that it would bear 5 per cent of the interest.

"Our central bank deserves a big thanks for their continuous support and encouragement to look for the CMSMEs and also for sustaining us with policy relaxation and deadline extensions," he added.

The deadline for disbursing the CMSMEs' bailout funds is December 31, 2020.

Earlier in October, the private commercial banks, along with their advisory service organization, Bangladesh Association of Banks (BAB), made commitments to contribute blankets to the relief fund and handed over a token at a digital event at the Prime Minister's office in Dhaka. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina joined the programme through videoconferencing from her official residence.

Starting from November 30, 2020, BRAC Bank completed the delivery of the 50,000 blankets on December 22, 2020.

Dhaka, Sunday, December 20, 2020: BRAC Bank has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bangladesh Export Zones Authority (BEZA) for setting up a branch at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Industrial City, a press release said. 

The signing ceremony took place at the city’s Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel on Monday, December 14, 2020.

Principal Secretary of the Prime Minister's Office, Dr. Ahmad Kaikaus was present as the chief guest at the event. 

Tareq Refat Ullah Khan, Deputy Managing Director and Head of Corporate Banking of BRAC Bank; Sheikh Yusuf Harun, Secretary, Ministry of Public Administration; Maksudur Rahman Patwary, Senior Secretary, Ministry of Land were special guests at the event. 

Paban Chowdhury, (Secretary) Executive Chairman of BEZA chaired the discussion.

BRAC Bank, through this new branch, will provide all banking services and customized financial services to the organizations in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Industrial City, one of the biggest export zone hubs by BEZA that has already become a focus of interest of many local and foreign investors. 

An agreement was also signed between bKash and BEZA to expedite the transaction of BEZA's One-Stop Service (OSS) Center.

bKash, a BRAC Bank subsidiary and the largest mobile financial service provider in Bangladesh, will expedite the operation of BEZA's OSS center and ensure a fast payment system for organizations to pay the OSS service charges through bKash app. 

In the event, BEZA also signed a land-leasing agreement with CCECC, a Chinese company that will build an export-oriented steel structure and ready-mix concrete industry at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Industrial City. The company will invest USD 15.97 million in the 10 acres of land, which will provide employment to about 350 people.

On the other hand, BEZA also allotted 8 acres of land to Jiuhong Medical Instrument Co., Ltd. that has proposed an investment of USD 12.72 million and will provide employment to about 1,500 people. A leasing agreement was also signed between BEZA and Jiuhong.

BEZA is working to build a modern and full-fledged industrial city on about 33,000 acres of land in Sitakunda, Mirsarai, and Sonagazi Upazilas in the Chattogram region, dubbed 'Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Industrial City'.

Dhaka, Sunday, December 13, 2020: BRAC Bank has announced a strategic initiative aimed at improving digital financial services for Bangladeshi migrants living and working abroad. 

Supported by the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), a UN agency focused primarily on making public and private finance work for the poor in 47 least developed countries, the new initiative aims at improving options for remittances—the funds that migrants send to their loved ones back home—by expanding digital remittance channels and linking digital remittances to other financial products.

The COVID-19 crisis heightened the need for digital financial products. The dominant remittance model has long relied on migrants bringing physical cash to a bricks-and-mortar money transfer outlet in the host country and transacting in person: lockdowns made that impossible for months. BRAC Bank’s new initiative will ensure that its innovative solutions and digital remittance channels present the migrant workers of Bangladesh and their remittance beneficiaries at home with easy access to cashless remittance transactions and secure savings under online banking networks. The migrant customers and their in-country loved ones will also receive training and social media tutorials. Remittance receivers will be able to receive remittances to their accounts or wallets, through various channels like in cards, faster direct account credits, and even without exchange houses in the middle through white-label app products.

Selim RF Hussain, the Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, said in this regard: “We are proud to be associated with UNCDF for expanding the financial ecosystem beyond remittances to enable greater financial inclusion for the Bangladeshi diaspora and their families as well.”

With support from the UNCDF, BRAC Bank will link the remittance channel with its value-added services and strengthen digital use-cases to encourage migrant wage earners to send remittances using the Bank’s cashless remittance channel. It will allow the migrants and their beneficiaries to benefit by saving time and cost as well as circumventing mobility and access constraints.

For UNCDF, the work with BRAC Bank is one part of a global push towards inclusive digital economies that leave no one behind. 

“More than 270 million people, or roughly four percent of the global population, live and work outside their home countries,” explained Amil Aneja, UNCDF lead specialist on migration and remittances. “Like everyone else, they and their families back home need safe, affordable, and convenient financial services. As one of the ten biggest remittance-receiving countries in the world, Bangladesh is an important market for UNCDF’s work in this area, even more so since the volume is expected to grow by an estimated eight per cent, to USD 20 billion, in the next year. We look forward to working with BRAC Bank, which has a strong history of innovation, to scale up digital remittances as the gateway product for broader financial inclusion.”

Dhaka, Thursday, December 10, 2020: BRAC Bank has retained long-term and short-term issuer credit ratings of B+ and B, respectively, from S&P Global Ratings.

The outlook on the long-term rating is stable, the rating agency said in a report on December 2, 2020.

BRAC Bank is the only Bangladeshi bank that has been assigned with an issuer credit rating by S&P.

The ratings reflect the bank's good management and business franchise in the domestic retail and SME segments; and asset quality and capitalization that are above the industry average. 

These factors are, however, offset by the challenging operating environment amid COVID-19 induced economic slowdown and substantial credit risk in the economy, as well as the reduced profitability due to pressure on interest margin and credit cost.

The stable outlook on BRAC Bank reflects S&P's view that the bank will steadily navigate challenging operating conditions in Bangladesh and maintain its financial profile over the next 12-18 months.

Selim RF Hussain, Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, said, "We are pleased with the B+ long-term insurer rating by S&P Global Ratings as it demonstrates the overall financial strength of BRAC Bank. It reflects our quality of management in identifying SME and retail segments as our niche to improve the operating competitiveness. We look forward to keeping steady progress and remain the most trusted bank in Bangladesh."

S&P report also says that it could upgrade BRAC Bank if its profitability improves while remaining higher than the industry average, and the bank sustainably increases its market share without strategic or operational missteps. This could be shown by sustained good asset quality metrics, prudential underwriting standards, and healthy capitalization.

Conversely, the risk of a lower rating lies if the bank's asset quality deteriorates sharply, for example due to prolonged reduction in economic activity in Bangladesh, the report says.

S&P Global Ratings is an American credit rating agency and a division of S&P Global that publishes financial research and analysis on stocks, bonds, and commodities.

Dhaka, Thursday, November 26, 2020: BRAC Bank has recently organized a workshop for the foreign airlines operating in Bangladesh on the revised regulations for remitting their surplus earnings.

The Foreign Exchange Operation Department of Bangladesh Bank issued SPA Circular No. 1 on September 3, 2020, simplifying its rules on surplus earnings remittance by the foreign airlines. The foreign airline operators had been demanding simplification of the remittances for quite some time before the circular came. 

Nabanita Dey, Joint Director, Foreign Exchange Operation Department, and Salma Akhtar, Deputy Director, Foreign Exchange Operation Department of Bangladesh Bank, were guest speakers at the workshop and provided answers to the queries of the foreign airline representatives in a Q&A session.

Tareq Refat Ullah Khan, DMD and Head of Corporate Banking at BRAC Bank, welcomed the participants to the workshop held at the bank's head office. He also presented BRAC Bank's portfolio before the participants in managing such a complex remittance process and highlighted the bank's fervor in this matter.

Selim RF Hussain, the Managing Director and CEO of the bank, inaugurated the workshop. He said, "We are happy that the central bank has paid attention to simplify the remittance process of airlines. It will not only reduce the hassle of piles of documentation that was a necessity earlier, but will also drive us towards embracing the digital way of work".

Shaheen Iqbal, Head of Treasury and Financial Institutes of BRAC Bank, made a presentation on Bangladesh's economic outlook amidst the post-pandemic situation and highlighted the opportunities that will help the airline industry recovering from the COVID-19 impact.

Bangladesh Bank, in its SPA Circular No. 1, has allowed the calculation of surplus earnings of the foreign airline operators based on passage and freight collections. Besides, the banks were allowed to remit on account of surplus earnings against passage and freight based on actual realization. The remittance would now be allowed upon all collections, supported by bank statements. 

Bangladesh Bank has also scrapped the requirement of producing hard copies as proof of sales of tickets. Form P or Form P-2, from outgoing passengers against sales of tickets in the local currency, will no longer be required, the central bank officials said in the workshop.

Around 25 participants from different airlines, including representatives from the leading airline companies operating in Bangladesh, participated in the workshop. Participants maintained appropriate social distancing, hygiene, and health precautions during the 2-hour session.

Dhaka, Wednesday, November 4, 2020: BRAC Bank, on Wednesday, launched 'Agami', a package of solutions to help students with their plans to study abroad.

"Agami is BRAC Bank’s complete student file solution. It will provide all necessary facilities to the students traveling abroad for study purposes," said Mahiul Islam, Head of Retail Banking of BRAC Bank.

'Agami' comes with four beneficial features for the students: a student file, a study-abroad credit card, a savings account, and an education insurance coverage.

While the student file service will enable a more convenient transfer of the education expenses for the families, the study-abroad credit card, endorsed with foreign currency, will be helpful for the students in meeting their day-to-day living expenses as well as emergencies. The credit card comes with a 100% waiver on the first year annual fee and a referral campaign for students with an opportunity to get cashback and bonus reward points on foreign currency endorsements to their cards. 

'Agami' also offers students with educational insurance coverage of up to BDT 1 crore. It is an opt-in facility and in the event of a parent’s death, the insurance company will pay for the remaining tuition fees of the student. 

BRAC Bank will also offer a 'Happy Savers Account' for these students that can be opened with BDT 1,000 only and provides students with an opportunity of interest-earning from any balance. 

For details, customers can call BRAC Bank’s Call Center at 16221 or email to [email protected] or call the dedicated hotline number for student file service at 01713110172.

The discussion focused on facilitating access to finance 

Dhaka, Monday, November 02, 2020: BRAC Bank, in association with the ITC SheTrades Commonwealth project, has arranged a webinar for women entrepreneurs on access to fiscal stimulus packages in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The webinar took place on October 24, 2020, on a digital platform. The objective was to create awareness and prepare women entrepreneurs for accessing the financial packages declared by the Bangladesh government to build their resilience in overcoming the challenges caused by the global pandemic.

International Trade Centre (ITC), a joint agency of the World Trade Organization and the United Nations, organized the webinar. The ITC SheTrades Commonwealth (STC) project - which is funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), invited the women-owned SMEs for the webinar through registration. BRAC Bank’s Senior Manager of Business Transformation in the SME Division, Shajed AL Haque, and Head of TARA, Mehruba Reza, were among the resource persons of the webinar.

The speakers highlighted how the COVID-19 pandemic has forced entrepreneurs, especially women, to face many new challenges, and obligated them into a severe liquidity crisis. As the government has offered several stimulus packages for different industries and businesses to seize the economic crisis, it is crucial to learn the right processes and proper channels to avail them during this challenging time. The speakers also discussed how women could take leverage of TARA, a women banking initiative by BRAC Bank, to obtain more inclusive access to finance.

BRAC Bank was recently named the Access to Finance Champion by the Financial Alliance for Women for championing the Women's Economy agenda through TARA. Collaboration with ITC will further support the bank to achieve its objectives in empowering the women.

Dhaka, Wednesday, October 28, 2020: BRAC Bank has recently teamed up with Rural Reconstruction Foundation (RRF) to provide credit facility to marginal farmers. 

This partnership is a result of the agreement between BRAC Bank and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Feed the Future (FtF) Bangladesh Rice and Diversified Crops (RDC) Activity to support the farmers. Both parties agreed to disburse loans through the Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) network for the project, and thus, RRF has come on-board, said a press release.

RRF, established in 1982, is a non-profit social welfare organization and specializes in micro-financing. As of June 30, 2019, RRF has BDT 4,750.27 million outstanding loans in the micro-credit and agriculture sectors to some 181,225 borrowers and 233,502 individual members. 

This agreement will lead RRF to provide a fresh credit facility to 1,000 farmers, including 800 female farmers, in the USAID FTF zone. 

BRAC Bank will ensure necessary financial services to RRF for providing an uninterrupted credit facility to the farmers in 21 districts under the FTF zone. The bank will also support RRF in establishing safety measures and practices by providing hand sanitizers, face masks, and gloves to create a safe environment for the farmers. It will cut the fence for the farmers and encourage them to avail of formal banking services.

Through this agreement, the bank aims to provide financial services in the form of credit for crops which fall under profitable rice-based cropping pattern in the FTF zones.

Syed Abdul Momen, Head of SME Banking, BRAC Bank, said: “This brings a wonderful opportunity for us to reach out to the marginal farmers in the FTF zone and introduce them to the banking facilities. We are pleased to collaborate with RRF, and we hope to harness the waves of financial inclusion in the southern part of the country.”

Philip Biswas, Executive Director, RRF, said: “We are delighted to partner up with BRAC Bank to offer credit for crops to our farmers. It will certainly benefit the farmers to take a turnaround from the consequences that resulted from COVID-19 pandemic.”

Dhaka, Sunday, October 25, 2020: BRAC Bank, in partnership with Bangladesh Computer Samity (BCS), has launched a financial solution named "Uddom" to support the BCS members. 

'Uddom' is not just a loan package, but a holistic financial solution meant for supporting the ICT sector and nearly two-and-a-half thousand BCS members in their recovery from the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The inauguration ceremony was organized on a digital platform on Saturday, October 24, 2020.

State Minister for Information and Communication Technology Zunaid Ahmed Palak, MP was the chief guest at the inauguration ceremony. 

Other eminent guests included Sonia Bashir Kabir, Founder of SBK Tech Ventures; Md. Shahid-ul-Munir, President, BCS; Mohammed Monirul Islam, Secretary-General, BCS; Selim RF Hussain, Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, and Syed Abdul Momen, Head of SME, BRAC Bank.

BRAC Bank’s head of SME, Syed Abdul Momen, explained how 'Uddom' solution would help the small and medium ICT entrepreneurs with access to finance and preferred facilities. 

‘Uddom’ will enable BCS members to get unsecured loans of up to one crore taka at a 9 per cent interest, while for women entrepreneurs, the interest rate will be 7 per cent. BRAC Bank will also install a booth for facilitating the deposit services. The bank's online SME business suite will help BCS member-clients to showcase their inventory and find better positioning for their products. 

Established in 1987, BCS has seamlessly been serving the public and private sector ICT stakeholders of the country for the last three decades.

BRAC Bank will also provide relevant document related support regarding obtaining membership for nonmember clients, deploy dedicated loan officers at its Elephant Road branch, set up a dedicated SME helpline for BCS member-clients, and provide dedicated relationship officers in all the seven divisions. BCS members will get a free debit card and free internet banking solutions from the bank.

Any interested ICT entrepreneur will need to have at least 2-year running BCS membership to avail of the facilities.

Appreciating this initiative, State Minister Zunaid Ahmed Palak said: “We thank BRAC Bank for caring about this sector and coming forward to support the entrepreneurs in this challenging time.”

He added: "BRAC is not just an organization, it's a brand that represents Bangladesh in the global arena. I encourage BRAC Bank to continue its support to the SMEs and help aspiring entrepreneurs boost the country's economy." 

He also said: "We consider BCS as an important stakeholder to achieve the vision of a Digital Bangladesh. I would encourage the BCS members to set up manufacturing and assembling plants for accessories and computer parts as well as smart devices." 

He promised to support BRAC Bank-funded BCS members to have spaces in the 28 high-tech parks and 64 Sheikh Kamal IT Training Incubation Centres.

Sonia Bashir Kabir congratulated BRAC Bank and BCS for this timely initiative, saying: "This will surely help to reduce the four billion credit gap in the SME sector and help the SMEs to become more successful. I would encourage BRAC Bank to simplify the underwritings for the small and medium entrepreneurs."

BRAC Bank's MD and CEO Selim R.F. Hussain said: "SME is in our DNA. We will carry out the legacy of our founder late Sir Fazle Hasan Abed KCMG to support the ‘missing middle’ of the society. We are the biggest collateral-free lender in the country and we'll continue this to ensure financial liberty and inclusion and play a positive role in making Bangladesh digital."

BCS Secretary-General Mohammed Monirul Islam said: “Both parties will benefit from this partnership. Uddom will be a blessing for the BCS members in overcoming the liquidity crisis.”

BCS President Md. Shahid-ul-Munir made the concluding remarks and said: “The ICT entrepreneurs, of which most are below the age of 35, suffered a lot in the last few months. I thank BRAC Bank for taking this noble initiative to stand by them. We will make progress together and establish 'Made in Bangladesh' a slogan of our international identity.”

He also informed the audience that at least 26 of their entrepreneurs have already launched the production of tech commodities.

A news article published on October 19, 2020 in some newspapers stating that "BRAC Bank seeks a stay on Jaha Alam's compensation order" has come to the notice of BRAC Bank. This post states that BRAC Bank has filed a petition with the High Court seeking a stay on its previous order asking the bank to provide Tk 15 lakh as compensation to Mr. Jaha Alam, who was wrongly identified and detained by the law enforcing agency for three years in a loan fraud case.

Firstly, we would like to reiterate that the BRAC Bank deeply regrets the suffering experienced by Mr. Jaha Alam and will support all efforts to rehabilitate the young man. At the same time, we must highlight that the Bank has not yet received the certified copy of the full order of the judgment of the case and, in the circumstances, it would not be right to comment on the issue without the full facts.

Financial Alliance for Women awards BRAC Bank for the fourth time

Dhaka, Sunday, October 11, 2020: BRAC Bank has again been named as the Access to Finance Champion by the Financial Alliance for Women. This is for the fourth consecutive time that BRAC Bank’s name was announced as winner in this category. 

The announcement came in the 2020 Alliance Summit held from October 6 to 8, 2020, on a digital platform.

Financial Alliance for Women is the leading members’ network of financial organizations in 135 countries dedicated to championing the female economy that remains untapped.

The award is given each year to the outstanding Alliance member-institutions that work to serve their women customers better by providing them with holistic solutions to meet their investment needs. This year, the Female Economy Champions reflect the global nature of the work of the Alliance, hailing from diverse markets across six different regions.

Inez Murray, Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Alliance for Women, while announcing the results, said: “These institutions are setting an example for the sector by developing the program and strategies needed to tap into the female economy and making their brand more sustainable along the way. Their engagement with the Alliance network is essential to our mission and work of economically empowering women worldwide. They are proof of the business case for increasing gender equality on many scores.”

BRAC Bank was named the 'Access to Finance Champion' for continuously evolving its products and services under 'TARA' to expand its reach to female customers.

Commenting on this achievement, Selim R.F. Hussain, Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, said” "It is indeed a great pride and honor for BRAC Bank to win this award consecutively for the fourth time! It encourages us and instills confidence in us when we see our work is being appreciated not only in our country but also through global networks." 

BRAC Bank launched 'TARA', a dedicated banking solution for women, in May 2017, and since then has been focusing on evolving changes that are best suited for the women of Bangladesh.

“Championing the women’s economy is both a means to progressing the financial inclusion agenda of developing countries and, at the same time, a great business opportunity. It is something we must do to further social justice and something which is perfectly aligned to the values that BRAC Bank stands for,” Hussain added.

The recorded videos of the 2020 Alliance Summit will be available on the Financial Alliance of Women Youtube channel after 12 October 2020.

Dhaka, Thursday, October 8, 2020: BRAC Bank has begun its remittance business with two new tech-savvy remitting companies from Japan and South Korea. 

The Bangladeshi wage earners working in these two countries will now be able to remit money through these companies. 

The bank has partnered with N &P Japan Co Ltd, known better as QS Remit in the APAC region, for its remittance option in Japan. The company is currently remitting to more than 15 countries with branches in Japan and South Korea.

In South Korea, BRAC Bank has struck partnership with E9 Pay Co Ltd. The company has collaborations with several banks for facilitating remittance service to 21 countries. BRAC Bank is their first remitting partner in Bangladesh.

Md. Mahiul Islam, Head of Retail Banking at BRAC Bank said: "We have around 60,000 Bangladesh citizens working in Japan and South Korea. The companies that BRAC Bank has partnered with have robust and secure infrastructures that support remitting flawlessly and in the most cost-effective manner. Through this initiative, we believe that the Bangladeshi expatriates will get the opportunity to move from brick and mortar to real-time digital payment solutions for their loved ones back in this country." 

The remittance receivers in Bangladesh can further collect the remitted money from BRAC Bank's country-wide branches, selected SME unit offices, Agent Banking outlets, and bKash wallet.

BRAC Bank Visa cardholders will now be able to receive remittance from the remitters directly to their debit and credit cards, a press release said. 

Visa Direct, the intermediary that will enable the cross-border payments, is a VisaNet processing capability that allows safe, convenient, and real-time funds delivery directly to the financial accounts using card credentials.

This remittance service will initially be available for the Probashi Bangladeshis (NRBs) residing in Malaysia and Singapore. They can directly transfer their remittance to their beneficiary's Visa cards using Maybank2u App in Malaysia and InstaReM App (NIUM) in Singapore. 

Md. Mahiul Islam, Head of Retail Banking of BRAC Bank, said, "BRAC Bank is committed to providing the best-in-class experience to the customers. This exciting cross-border fund transfer service will certainly save time, reduce intermediaries, for example, the exchange houses, brokers, etc., and make the remittance service affordable for our invaluable migrants."

Visa will gradually bring more partner global banks to make the service available for NRBs in other countries. 

It will be a new channel of legalized remittance transfer with rigorous KYC (Know Your Customer) and multiple steps of sanction screening abiding by the global standards and applicable laws. Remittance service in Visa cards comes as BRAC Bank's journey towards continuous digitalization, partnership, and financial inclusion. This service will make life easier for both the migrant remitters and their beneficiaries.

Dhaka, Thursday, October 01, 2020: BRAC Bank has come forward to extend support to the acid survivors as four them join its workforce today, said a press release.

Bilquis Jahan, Head of Human Resources of BRAC Bank said: “BRAC Bank is an equal opportunity employer. We have taken this step, not just to give them a job but to value their permanence in our society. Acid survivors are often left to the empathy of others, whereas, I believe, they must be regarded as able and heroic contributors of the society.”

The four will be working in different support functions of the bank. Runa Laila, Jhumur Akter, Nusrat Jahan and Rina Parvin Ruma have all been acid attack victims. They are also the single bread-earner of their respective families and lost their job due to the impact of COVID-19 in June. 

Jahan said, "We have gone through a proper recruitment process and hired them based on their merit. I believe others can also do the same."

The new joiners expressed their gratitude to BRAC Bank for this opportunity. They believe that it will pave the way for other survivors to fulfill their dreams of working in the corporate sector.

The project will assess the farmers' access to finance for mitigating the impact of COVID-19

Dhaka, Tuesday, September 22, 2020: BRAC Bank and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Feed the Future (FtF) Bangladesh Rice and Diversified Crops (RDC) Activity have entered into a partnership to support the farmers in mitigating the impact of COVID-19.

The partnership intends to extend fresh credit opportunities to the farmers and small and medium-sized agricultural businesses operating in USAID FtF zone. The credit services will be provided through ‘safe touch points (retail outlets)’ of BRAC Bank and through a partnership with MFI channels to “Marginal farmers”.

BRAC Bank will mobilize safe touchpoints (agent banking outlets and SME unit offices) in different Upazilas of the FtF zone. 

Syed Abdul Momen, Head of SME at BRAC Bank said, "We are assessing ways to improve farmers' socio-economic life post the COVID-19 hit. We aim to provide financial services in the form of credit for crops which fall under profitable rice-based cropping pattern in the FtF zones. This partnership will also help us leverage the Government stimulus packages and contribute to the agri-sector landscape of the country".

RDC will support BRAC Bank to offer financial services (SME Loans) to local service providers and producers (channel banking farming community) to improve awareness, efficiency, growth, and evidence-based decision-making business models.

More than 1,000 farmers will be impacted during the pilot phase through access to BRAC Bank’s credit facilities. Around 72% of the farmers will be women.

BRAC Bank will also ensure that 20% of the loans go to SMEs that deal with input distribution while 30% will be disbursed to those involved in crop management (including mechanization) and 50% to the post-harvest management, trading, and market linkages through the agent banking outlets or SME unit offices of the bank. 

Disbursement of loans will be done through the MFI network to overcome the financial challenges in the coming months and in other similar projects. 

Cuan Opperman, Chief of Party of the RDC Activity said, "We are really pleased to be working with BRAC Bank to extend credit to farmers in these challenging times. We hope that this initiative is the first step to expanding access to finance to even more farmers."

The RDC Activity is implemented by ACDI VOCA. ACDI/VOCA is a global development design and delivery partner based in Washington, D.C.

“Digonto” to enable ICT and ITES companies with wider access to finance and business expansion

Dhaka, Sunday, September 20, 2020: BRAC Bank Limited and Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS), have launched a special financial package, “Digonto”, for extending support to the BASIS members.

“Digonto” will enable the ICT and ITES companies with wider access to finance, business expansion, and fixed-asset purchases. 

With “Digonto” package, BRAC Bank will grant unsecured and partially-secured loans up to one crore taka to the eligible BASIS members. 

This is a unique funding initiative aimed to support the ICT sector in Bangladesh. 

BRAC Bank managing director and CEO Selim R. F. Hussain and BASIS President Syed Almas Kabir co-hosted "Digonto" through a virtual launching programme on Saturday, September 19, 2020.

Salman F. Rahman, Honourable Advisor to the Prime Minister on Private Sector Industry and Investment joined the programme as the chief guest.

Ahmed Jamal, Deputy Governor of Bangladesh Bank, and Sheikh Fazle Karim, President of FBCCI were special guests at the event.

Syed Abdul Momen, Head of SME at BRAC Bank, presented the “Digonto” package to the audience and explained how the model will support the BASIS members.

Speaking at the event, Salman F. Rahman thanked both BASIS and BRAC Bank for taking up this initiative. He said, “The IT sector is undoubtedly one of the key role players in realizing the vision of a Digital Bangladesh. Only the visionary banks and organizations can take such a bold step and offer such a comprehensive and structured package to extend support for this promising industry. I believe that this will be an example for others to follow.”

Ahmed Jamal, Deputy Governor of Bangladesh Bank said, "BASIS is doing a wonderful job by working for the betterment of their member organizations. Most of the ICT entrepreneurs are young and it is often difficult for them to give collateral at this age. I would like to thank BRAC Bank for coming forward and supporting the young entrepreneurs through Digonto. I hope this will help the BASIS members to overcome the impact of COVID-19."

Sheikh Fazle Karim, President of FBCCI said, "Digonto could be a role-model to ensure access to finance and bring about holistic changes across all industries to realize the dream of a Digital Bangladesh."

Commenting on this, BRAC Bank's managing director and CEO Selim R. F. Hussain said, "Digonto is not just a loan facility, it is a complete financial package specially designed for the BASIS members. It will also facilitate the required banking services for stimulus package financing, international payments, global business facilitation, and export proceed collection."

BASIS President Syed Almas Kabir facilitated the event and presided over the discussions. He also urged on the digitization of processes to expedite the private-public partnerships and ensure rapid growth of the ICT sector.

"Digonto" will enable the BASIS members to get single installment loans (SILs) and revolving loans (RLs) besides term loans to facilitate the work-order-based financing of the ICT-based companies. Besides, the women entrepreneurs of BASIS will get loans at a rate of 7 per cent only.

BASIS members and media professionals attended the launch event.

49,000 trees to be planted in 49 minutes to commemorate the 49^th year of independence

Dhaka, Thursday, September 3, 2020: BRAC Bank has joined the green action of ‘Project Oxygen’, a team of three voluntary development organizations, who will plant trees in the cyclone Amphan-affected coastal areas tomorrow, 4 September 2020.

Project Oxygen is a crowd-funded project initiated by the BANDHU Foundation of Bangladesh, Give Bangladesh and Aamrai Bangladesh. It has planned to plant 49,000 trees in 49 minutes in the Amphan-affected areas of Koyra Upazila in Khulna tomorrow.

The organizers said that they will also commemorate the 49th year of our independence through this initiative.

BRAC Bank has contributed 4,900 trees in this green initiative.

Koyra Upazila lost about 40,000 trees due to cyclone Amphan in May this year. Project Oxygen hopes that the trees will lead to the reforestation of that area, lending crucial support to the Sundarbans in withstanding future natural disasters. 

The team will plant locally accepted species of trees across seven unions of Koyra Upazila. The list of trees includes 20,500 Shirish, 16,500 Lombu, 2,000 Guava, 2,500 Wood Apple, 5,000 Sobeda (Sofeda), 2,000 Tamarind, 500 Krishnachura, 500 Bokul, 1,000 Amla (Amalaki), and 3,000 Tala Palm (Taal). 

The volunteers from the BANDHU Foundation of Bangladesh, Give Bangladesh, and Aamrai Bangladesh will work with 25 local volunteering groups to plant these trees. The group will also look after the trees for one year and engage around 1,000 local ultra-poor people to look after the fruit-bearing trees, and consume the fruits.

Along with BRAC Bank, organizations like Bank Asia, IPDC Finance Limited, Nijer Bolar Moto Ekta Golpo, Robi Axiata Limited, Shwapno, Dhaka Ladies’ Club, and Epyllion Group are also contributing in this green initiative.

The SME Helpdesk is powered by the experts from BRAC Bank, a pioneer SME financing Bank of the country. This Helpdesk will ensure access to finance & information to the cottage, micro, small and medium enterprises (CMSMEs) of Greater Chittagong, a press release said.

The virtual signing ceremony took place on Thursday, August 20, on a digital platform. A dedicated helpdesk for the CMSMEs was also inaugurated at the event. 

Mahbubul Alam, President of the Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) and Chairman of Trustee Board, Bangladesh Center of Excellence (BCE) and Syed Abdul Momen, Head of SME of BRAC Bank Limited were chief guests at the partnership disclosure ceremony.

The helpdesk will especially benefit the CMSMEs, those based in the greater Chattogram region, to recover from the negative business impacts caused by the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic by providing them all kind of information on how to get access to SME Financing, especially from the stimulus packages announced by Honorable Prime Minister.

CMSMEs, especially the members of CCCI, can call the helpdesk for relevant information regarding access to finance. The helpdesk will also provide information and support to help the CMSME members on how to avail various lending opportunities, documentation requirements, information on government stimulus packages as well as guidance for better financial management. 

Mahbubul Alam, President of CCCI said: "What hinders the growth of CMSMEs, especially when the government declared rigorous stimulus packages in their favor, is the lack of proper knowledge and support regarding compliance, documentation requirements and other minimal formalities. I would like to thank BRAC Bank, our SME expert, for coming forward and joining hands with the Bangladesh Centre of Excellence to take up this initiative".

Syed Abdul Momen, Head of SME Banking of BRAC Bank said, "We have always remained positive, especially since the outbreak of COVID-19, to support the CMSMEs that include more than 13 million business entities in Bangladesh. We are pleased to be a partner of launching this helpdesk that will also help us better understand the business community’s requirements and accordingly devise our strategies". 

CCCI will share details of the helpdesk to its member CMSMEs soon. The CMSME customers can also call BRAC Bank's 24/7 call centre 16221 and get the necessary knowledge and support information.

"We have provided explicit training to our helpdesk colleagues so that they can assist the callers with any of their queries like our call centre does. I would like to thank CCCI for this noble initiative and I am sure this will be replicated across the country to better serve the CMSMEs together", Momen added.

Syed M. Tanvir, Director, CCCI and Trustee, BCE, Engr. Mohd Farque, Secretary in-Charge, CCCI, and Wasfi Tamim, CEO, BEC were also present at the event. 

The virtual inauguration ceremony is available for watching on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BRACBANK/videos/1398845630314751/.

Dhaka, Thursday, August 13, 2020: BRAC Bank has run a series of online discussions on social media and drive awareness amongst customers owing to the rise of digital ways of banking and payments.

“With the increasing need for social distancing, today banks as well as customers are more interested in the digital means of banking to stay safe and secured. But with the rise in digital transactions, there can be a rise in online-related frauds too”, said Ekram Kabir, head of communications at BRAC Bank.

The bank already had its first show on "Pandemic and Financial Crimes: What We Can Do to Prevent Them" on August 6, 2020. The webinar has been viewed by over 8,000 people including a live view of nearly 4,000.

BRAC Bank will not just bring the industry experts to discuss the financial crimes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but will also promote the safe usage of digital means of payment and transactions, knowledge-based discussions on running the business through the challenging time, stories of its customers since the pandemic, industry best practices, business sustainability and more. 

BRAC Bank's TARA, the women banking solution segment, has also been running webinars to enhance the capacity of the bank's women customer segment. The shows would continue with enhanced features.

Selim RF Hussain, the managing director and CEO of BRAC Bank said, "It is our responsibility to help the customers adapt to the new normal". 

"The digital mandate is not something new to us; it’s simply been brought into sharp focus during the pandemic. We owe to the society for creating a comfort zone for online banking and digital transactions. We hope that the shows that we will be hosting on our official Facebook page and YouTube channel will reach out to a large number of people and make them familiar with the safe form of digital banking", Hussain added.

BRAC Bank has over 2 lakh followers on Facebook. However, the bank aims to go far beyond and include people from all walks of life, especially the SMEs and people outside metros.

Only Bangladeshi Bank to Retain U.S. Dollar Clearing MT103 and MT202 awards for three consecutive years

Dhaka, Tuesday, July 28, 2020: BRAC Bank has received the ‘2020 U.S. Dollar Clearing MT103’ and ‘2020 U.S. Dollar Clearing MT202’ Quality Recognition Awards from JPMorgan Chase & Co., an American multinational investment bank and financial services holding company. 

JPMorgan, considered as one of the world's most valuable banks by market capitalization, has been giving away this award globally since 1997. Through this recognition, they acknowledge the consistency and high-quality performance of their clients’ funds transfer operations management. The recognition came to BRAC Bank for achieving the best-in-class Straight Through Processing (STP) payments in both MT103 and MT202 categories. 

This is for the third consecutive year that BRAC Bank has received this prestigious recognition.

The 2020 U.S. Dollar Clearing Quality Recognition Awards are divided into two groups, each designated by a SWIFT message type (MT). Within each group, there are awards given to recognize the ultimate level of performance. 

The ‘MT 103 Quality Recognition Award’ is given to clients who achieve greater than or equal to 90 per cent STP rate maintaining a minimum threshold of the debit volume of MT 103 transactions in 2019. Whereas the ‘MT 202 Quality Recognition Award” is given to the clients that achieve greater than or equal to 98 per cent STP rate maintaining a minimum threshold of the debit volume of MT 202 transactions in 2019. 

BRAC Bank has achieved 97.54 per cent and 99.30 per cent respectively in these categories.

Given the difficulty of the COVID-19 situation across the globe, JPMorgan organized a virtual award-giving ceremony to accolade BRAC Bank with award certificates and crests. 

Sabbir Hossain, DMD and Chief Operating Officer of BRAC Bank acknowledged receipt of the crests from Christine Tan, Managing Director, Head of Asia Pacific- Financial Institutions Group of JPMorgan Chase in the digital ceremony. Sazzad Anam, Executive Director and Chief Representative, JP Morgan Bangladesh Office, and other senior officials from BRAC Bank were also present on this occasion. 

Commenting on the recognition, BRAC Bank’s Managing Director and CEO, Selim RF Hussain said: “This recognition, for a third consecutive year, speaks of our adeptness in digital banking and process efficiency. The higher STP rate (above 97 per cent in both categories) correlates to lower operating risks and higher system performance. This also proves that BRAC Bank’s inter-bank and client transactions are carried out with speed and high accuracy”. 

STP, one of the most accurate and robust metrics that managers possess when it comes to measuring operational performance, is used by corporations and banks globally. It allows for the entire payment process, from initiation to final settlement, to be free of human intervention. It also reduces the time, cost, and probability of errors in processing. 

“We are very proud to receive this prestigious award from JPMorgan. I would like to thank our employees and partners who helped us in reiterating the success and I dedicate this award to their relentless efforts. I would also thank our customers for remaining confident in the bank’s strength and stability,” Hussain added.

Dhaka, Sunday, July 5, 2020: BRAC Bank Limited, a member of the BRAC family, observed its 19th founding anniversary yesterday, 4 July 2020. 

Founded by Sir Fazle Hasan Abed KCMG in 2001, the bank commenced its operations on the 4th of July that year. Due to the COVID-19 situation, the bank refrained from any celebration for its 19th founding anniversary this year, a statement says.

Dr. Ahsan H. Mansur, Chairman of the bank said, “I respectfully remember Sir Fazle Hasan Abed today; I am still inspired by the vision& values that he shared with me from time to time and also while entrusting me with the role to lead this reputable bank. I would like to congratulate the entire BRAC family for their tireless efforts to progress the Bank’s financial inclusion agenda and add value to all its stakeholders”.

Sir Fazle Hasan Abed KCMG, who passed away last year, established BRAC Bank primarily to create greater financial access for the ‘missing middle’ – the small and medium entrepreneurs of Bangladesh who needed institutional financing to grow and prosper. He was its chairperson in two phases, from 2001-2008, and 2013-2019, before retiring on 26 August 2019 and passing on the baton to Dr. Mansur.

“I believe that our bank has already established itself as one of the leading banks in Bangladesh and is now attempting become a bank of international standards. In this journey, which is the vision shared by Sir Fazle, the SME sector will always remain as the focus of BRAC Bank”, Dr. Mansur added.

Selim RF Hussain, the Managing Director and CEO of the bank, also thanked all the stakeholders of the bank in celebrating this occasion. He said, “Encouraging entrepreneurship is key to sustaining Bangladesh’s economic development, and in this regard, BRAC Bank has proven itself to be one of the most successful financial institutions of the country. We shall continue realizing the dream of Sir Fazle to create a poverty-free Bangladesh by ensuring our support and devotion to the unbanked population and other client segments as the most modern, customer-friendly and technologically advanced bank in Bangladesh”. 

BRAC Bank workers have expressed their gratitude on different social media to its investors, customers, and shareholders for their unwavering trust in the bank.

Dhaka, Wednesday, July 01, 2020: BRAC Bank has announced the launch of Visa contactless credit cards for its customers to experience cashless payments. 

Cardholders can pay by simply ‘tapping’ their Visa contactless credit card at contactless POS terminals. The bank said that the cardholders will now feel safer to transact as they get to keep the card with themselves while making a payment transaction.

The contactless Visa credit cards (Signature, Platinum, Gold, and Classic) come with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, which spontaneously communicates with the contactless payment terminals (Contactless POS) and exchange the needed information to complete the transaction.

Md. Mahiul Islam who heads the bank’s Retail Banking division, says, “We are thrilled that we are enabling our cardholders to experience transactional efficiency while embracing the new normal in their digital lifestyle, and what excites us more is to be able to ensure their safety during this pandemic situation with the contactless feature”. 

The bank said that these cards will be: i) faster, as the cardholder does not need to swipe or dip the card or enter the PIN; ii) safer, as the card remains in the cardholder’s hands while making a transaction; and iii) convenient, as the contactless cards are widely accepted across the world.

Mahiul added, “Use of cashless technology is going to be the new normal in a post-COVID-19 world. That’s why we believe that it’s an opportune time to leverage the growing trend of digital payments, making our customers habituated to cashless and digital transactions and at the same time offering them unparalleled experience and range of benefits that will also enrich the digital transformation journey of BRAC Bank”.

The maximum amount that can be transacted by tapping the contactless card is BDT 3,000. However, cardholders can transact more than BDT 3,000 with these cards, if they wish to, by dipping or swiping the card and entering their PIN. 

The transaction limit for contactless cards may differ subject to regulatory guidelines in countries and the terminal that will be used at the time of transaction.

A reputable brand name alongside a sizeable network of branches and ATMs, a leading mobile platform bKash, and a growing agent banking supports the domestic franchise of the bank, states Moody’s.

Dhaka, Sunday, June 28, 2020: BRAC Bank has once again achieved the rating “Ba3” - highest for any Bangladeshi bank rated by Moody’s Investor Service.

This is for the fourth successive year that the internationally renowned rating agency Moody's Investor Service has confirmed the highest credit rating for BRAC Bank Limited. 

According to Moody’s, the affirmation of the bank's rating reflects strong asset quality compared with those of its industry peers; robust profitability and capitalization, driven by its competitive advantage in the higher-yielding small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) segment; and stable funding profile and liquidity.

Moody’s statement also mentions that the bank’s credit strengths are built on stable funding and liquidity, supported by its good reputation and sizable distribution network as well as its strong capital base - highest among the Bangladeshi banks they rate. 

“BRAC Bank stands on solid ground for its business model- driven by good governance, transparency, and value-based banking,” said Selim R.F. Hussain, Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank.

BRAC Bank is primarily funded by deposits, which constituted 81 per cent of the bank's total liabilities as of year-end 2019, Moody’s also mentioned.

“Our customers have always shown their unwavering trust in us and we have always been active to ensure reciprocation of the trust in our strategies and performance matrices. We not only have a wide network and strong franchise but are backed by a diversified, dedicated, and talented set of human resources. On behalf of our Board and the Management, I would like to thank all our customers, employees, and other stakeholders for their continuous support in helping us to reach a new level every year”, Hussain said.

Remarkably, BRAC Bank now stands as the only Bangladeshi bank to maintain the sovereign rating standard of Ba3 for four consecutive years.

Dhaka, Wednesday, June 24, 2020: BRAC Bank has, for the third consecutive time, been named the Best Bank in Bangladesh by Asiamoney - a leading financial publication in the Asia-Pacific region.

The award was announced on March 31, 2020, in the following link: https://www.euromoney.com/article/b1kr2x9gjb3qn1/asiamoney-best-bank-awards-2020-bangladesh. 

Every year, Asiamoney, a division of the global media group Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC, identifies banks in each market that have excelled across a range of core banking activities over 12 months.

Selim RF Hussain, the bank’s Managing Director and CEO said: “We are pleased to see that BRAC Bank’s strong focus on corporate governance, dedication to a values-based agenda, and commitment to delivering good financial results have together been recognized by Asiamoney. The Bank has, in the last few years, achieved great prominence in the Bangladesh market and we are committed to much greater growth going forward”

BRAC Bank is a founding, and indeed the only Bangladeshi bank that is a member, of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV) – an international banking forum that promotes a social agenda, focusing on people, planet and prosperity for all. The Bank is also a member of the Financial Alliance for Women, an international forum of financial institutions that promote banking for women. 

“The BRAC Bank family is pleased to have been recognized again as a standard-bearer for corporate governance, financial performance, and values-based banking in the Bangladesh banking industry. Achieving such awards and success would not be possible without the dedication of our Employees, the ‘unwavering trust’ of our Customers and the guidance of our Board of Directors and our Regulators”, Hussain added.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our stakeholders for their support to the Bank. These awards reiterate the Bank’s leading position in the country and truly motivate us to keep improving and striving for more”.

It may be mentioned BRAC Bank has also been awarded twice by Asiamoney as the Best Digital Bank — a segment where it continues to be a leader.

• Premium customers can to withdraw up to BDT 4 lakhs per day from ATMs.
• Customers can now transact up to BDT 5 lakhs per day on Internet Banking - from their BRAC Bank account to other bank accounts, BEFTN and other banks’ credit cards.

Dhaka, Thursday, June 18, 2020: BRAC Bank has increased the daily transaction limits for its customers to encourage them to do banking without the need to visit the branches.

This will be play a positive impact in preventing the spread of coronavirus, the bank says in a press release.

BRAC Bank customers can now transact up to BDT 5 lakhs per day from their BRAC Bank account to other bank accounts, BEFTN and other bank’s credit card on Internet Banking.

The customers can now also withdraw up to BDT 3 lakhs per day from ATM that previously was limited to BDT 2 lakhs per day while the Premium Banking customers can now withdraw up to BDT 4 lakhs per day from an ATM. However the limit per transaction remains unchanged, the bank confirmed.

Selim R.F. Hussain, the bank’s Managing Director and CEO said, “Despite taking measures to ensure social and physical distancing and extreme hygiene at our branches, we have found customers rushing to our branches due to limited transaction amounts. We have found that a major chunk of the visiting customers coming to withdraw cash and transfer amounts that were not allowed within the previous limit of transaction through online and ATMs. This increase in limits will encourage them to transact through our secured Internet Banking service and ATMs without being exposed to health risks.”

BRAC Bank has taken several measures to ensure safety for its customers and employees during the COVID-19 outbreak and this step is another addition to those.

Hussain added, “Internet Banking allows customers to bank from home and ATMs have relatively less crowded – both will help us to ensure safety of our customers and the branch personnel. This will also offload crowd from branches allowing our colleagues to deliberate other services in better ways to our visiting customers.” কভিড-১৯ মোকাবেলাঃ
