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.

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.

Dhaka, Tuesday, October 6, 2020: BRAC Bank has announced the launch of remittance service for the bank's Visa cardholders.

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.

Dhaka, Saturday, August 22, 2020: BRAC Bank, the Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) and Bangladesh Centre of Excellence (BCE) have signed a tripartite agreement for setting up an SME Helpdesk for CCCI Members. 

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.

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.

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
গ্রাহকদের ব্রাঞ্চে আসা নিরুৎসাহিত করতে বিকল্প চ্যানেলগুলিতে দৈনিক লেনদেনের সীমা বাড়ালো ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক

• ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক গ্রাহকরা এখন এটিএম থেকে দিনে সর্বোচ্চ ৩ লক্ষ টাকা পর্যন্ত উত্তোলন করতে পারবেন।
• প্রিমিয়াম ব্যাংকিং এর গ্রাহকরা এটিএম থেকে দিনে সর্বোচ্চ ৪ লক্ষ টাকা পর্যন্ত তুলতে পারবেন।
• গ্রাহকরা এখন ইন্টারনেট ব্যাংকিং এর মাধ্যমে অন্য ব্যাংকের অ্যাকাউন্টে, বিইএফটিএন-এ এবং অন্যান্য ব্যাংকের কার্ড পেমেন্টে দিনে সর্বোচ্চ ৫ লক্ষ টাকা পর্যন্ত লেনদেন করতে পারবেন।

ঢাকা, বুধবার, ১৭ জুন, ২০২০: ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক গ্রাহকদের ব্রাঞ্চে আসা নিরুৎসাহিত করতে ব্যাংকের বিকল্প চ্যানেলগুলিতে প্রতিদিনের লেনদেনের সীমা বাডিয়েছে।

করোনাভাইরাস বিস্তার রোধে এটি ইতিবাচক প্রভাব ফেলবে, ব্যাংক এক সংবাদ বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে বলেছে। ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের গ্রাহকরা এখন তাদের ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক অ্যাকাউন্ট থেকে অন্যান্য ব্যাংক অ্যাকাউন্টে, বিইএফটিএন চ্যানেলে এবং অন্যান্য ব্যাংকের কার্ড পেমেন্টের ক্ষেত্রে ইন্টারনেট ব্যাংকিং ব্যবহার করে দিনে সর্বোচ্চ ৫ লক্ষ টাকা পর্যন্ত লেনদেন করতে পারবেন।

এছাড়াও এটিএম থেকে গ্রাহকরা এখন দিনে সর্বোচ্চ ৩ লক্ষ টাকা পর্যন্ত উত্তোলন করতে পারবেন যা আগে দিনে ২ লক্ষ টাকায় সীমাবদ্ধ ছিল। প্রিমিয়াম ব্যাংকিংয়ের গ্রাহকরা এটিএম থেকে দিনে সর্বোচ্চ ৪ লক্ষ টাকা পর্যন্ত টাকা তুলতে পারবেন। তবে প্রতি লেনদেনের ক্ষেত্রে সীমা অপরিবর্তিত থাকছে।

ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর ও সিইও সেলিম রেজা ফরহাদ হোসেন বলেন, “আমাদের শাখাগুলিতে সামাজিক দূরত্ব এবং স্বাস্থ্যবিধি নিশ্চিত করার পরও, লেনদেনের সীমিত সময়ের কারণে গ্রাহকদের ভীড় কমছে না যা ব্রাঞ্চগুলিতে স্বাস্থ্যঝুঁকি কমানোর ক্ষেত্রে একটি প্রতিবন্ধকতা। ব্রাঞ্চে আসা গ্রাহকদের একটা বড় অংশ এমন পরিমাণ অর্থ এনক্যাশমেন্ট ও ট্রান্সফার করতে আসেন যা পূর্বে অনলাইন এবং এটিএম এর মাধ্যমে সম্ভব হতো না। এ কারণেই আমরা বিকল্প চ্যানেলে লেনদেনের সীমা বাড়িয়ে দিয়েছি। এর ফলে স্বাস্থ্যেঝুঁকির মুখোমুখি না হয়ে গ্রাহকরা আমাদের সুরক্ষিত ইন্টারনেট ব্যাংকিং পরিষেবা এবং এটিএমের মাধ্যমে লেনদেন করতে তাদের উৎ্সাহিত বোধ করবেন।"

কভিড-১৯ প্রাদুর্ভাবের সময় গ্রাহক ও কর্মচারীদের সুরক্ষা নিশ্চিত করতে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক শুরু থেকেই বিভিন্ন ব্যবস্থা গ্রহণ করেছে এবং লেনদেনের সীমা বৃদ্ধি তাদের এই পদক্ষেপে আরও একটি সংযোজন।

সেলিম হোসেন আরও বলেন, “ইন্টারনেট ব্যাংকিং-এর মাধ্যমে গ্রাহকরা ঘরে বসেই ব্যাংকিং সুবিধা পান আর এটিএমগুলিতে ব্রাঞ্চের তুলনায় ভীড় তুলনামূলকভাবে কম হয় - এই দুই বিকল্প ব্যবস্থাই আমাদের গ্রাহক এবং ব্রাঞ্চ কর্মীদের সুরক্ষা নিশ্চিত করতে সহায়তা করবে। এছাড়া এর ফলে ব্রাঞ্চে আসা গ্রাহকদের ভীড় কমে যাবে বলে আমরা আশা করছি যাতে আমাদের সহকর্মীরা ব্রাঞ্চে আসা অন্যান্য গ্রাহকদের জন্য আরও উন্নত সেবা নিশ্চিত করতে পারবেন”।

Dhaka, Tuesday, June 2, 2020: BRAC Bank, as part of its effort to help coronavirus frontline workers, has contributed 6,000 pieces of N95 masks to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).

কোভিড-১৯ মহামারী মোকাবেলায় ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক মার্চ মাস থেকেই তার গ্রাহক এবং অংশীদারদের বিভিন্ন ভাবে দৃঢ় সমর্থন দিয়ে আসছে।

ডিপিএসে বিলম্বিত পেমেন্টে জরিমানা নেবেনা ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক

ঢাকা, মঙ্গলবার, ১৩ মে ২০২০: কোভিড -১৯ মহামারীর মধ্যে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক তাদের ডিপিএস গ্রাহকদের দেরিতে পেমেন্টের জন্য জরিমানা ফি না নেয়ার ঘোষণা দিয়েছে। এ বিষয়ে সকল ডিপিএস গ্রাহকদের সাথে যোগাযোগ করেছে ব্যাংকটি।

সরকার ঘোষিত সাধারণ ছুটির দিনগুলিতে গ্রাহকদের সহায়তা অব্যাহত রাখার ব্যবসায়িক দায়বদ্ধতা থেকে এমন সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছে ব্যাংকটি।

ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক জানিয়েছে যে শাট-ডাউন সময়কালে, ২৬ শে মার্চ থেকে ২০২০ থেকে ৩১ মে ২০২০ এর মধ্যে, ডিপিএস গ্রাহকরা তাদের কিস্তি পরিশোধে অপারগ হলে ব্যাংক কিস্তির প্রয়োগকৃত স্ট্যান্ডার্ড ফি মওকুফ করবে। এছাড়াও গ্রাহকদের তাদের বকেয়া ডিপিএস কিস্তি জমা দেওয়ার জন্য ব্যাংকটি তিন মাসের স্থগিতকালীন অর্থাৎ অর্থ প্রদানের তারিখ থেকে তিন মাস অতিরিক্ত সময় প্রদান করবে।

ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের রিটেইল ব্যাংকিংয়ের প্রধান মাহীয়ুল ইসলাম বলেন, “আমরা আমাদের গ্রাহকদের মানসিক ভাবে শক্তিশালী থাকতে এবং শাট-ডাউনের সময় সুরক্ষিত রাখতে সহায়তা করতে প্রতিশ্রুতিবদ্ধ। আমরা জানি যে মহামারী চলাকালীন অনেকেরই উপার্জন আংশিক, কারও ক্ষেত্রে পুরোপুরি হ্রাস পেয়েছে এবং তাদের সমর্থন করা আমরা আমাদের কর্তব্য হিসাবে বিবেচনা করছি”।

তিনি বলেন, “নভেল করোনাভাইরাস ছড়িয়ে পড়ার কারণে আমরা সকলেই একটি কঠিন সময় পার করছি। এর সংক্রমণ হ্রাস করার একমাত্র উপায় হলো ঘরে থাকা। আমরা আশা করছি, যে সকল গ্রাহকরা আমানত প্রকল্পে তাদের মাসিক কিস্তি পরিশোধ নিয়ে চিন্তিত ছিলেন, এই প্রক্রিয়ার ফলে তারা কিছুটা হলেও স্বস্তি বোধ করবেন"।

এর আগে এপ্রিল মাসে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক তার রিটেইল ও এসএমই গ্রাহকদের জন্য তিন মাসের স্থগিতাদেশ ঘোষণা করেছিল এবং শাট-ডাউনের সময় এর ক্রেডিট কার্ডধারীদের জন্য দেরিতে পেমেন্ট ফিও মওকুফ করেছিল।

প্রতিবেদনের উল্লেখযোগ্য অংশঃ

• ২০১৯ সালে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ও এর সহযোগী প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলোর একীভূত নিট মুনাফা হয়েছে ৪৫৮ কোটি ৩০ লাখ টাকা, যা আগের বছর ছিল ৫৬৭ কোটি টাকা। ২০১৯ সালে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এককভাবে নিট মুনাফা করছে ৫৬৪ কোটি ৬০ লাখ টাকা, আগের বছর অর্থাৎ ২০১৮ সালে যা ছিল ৫৫৪ কোটি ৭০ লাখ টাকা।
• ২০১৯ সালে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ও এর সহযোগী প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলোর একীভূত আয় শেয়ারপ্রতি (ইপিএস) ছিল ৪.০১টাকা, যা আগের বছর ছিল ৪.৫০টাকা। ব্যাংকের একক আয়ের হিসাবে ২০১৯ সালে শেয়ারপ্রতি আয় হয়েছে ৪.৫৮ টাকা। আগের বছর অর্থাৎ ২০১৮ সালে এটি ছিল ৪.৫০টাকা।
• ২০১৯ সালে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ও এর সহযোগী প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলোর একীভূত পরিচালন মুনাফা কমে হয়েছে ৮৯৬ কোটি ২০ লাখ টাকা। যা ২০১৮ সালে ছিল ৯৩৯ কোটি ৫০ লাখ টাকা। অর্থাৎ পরিচালন মুনাফা কমেছে ৪.৮ %। যদিও এই সময়ে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের এককভাবে পরিচালন মুনাফা বেড়েছে। ২০১৮ সালে ব্যাংকটির একক পরিচালন মুনাফা ছিল ৮৮২ কোটি ২০ লাখ টাকা। ২০১৯ সালে তা আগের বছরের চাইতে ১৩% বেড়ে হয়েছে ৯৯৪ কোটি ৮০ লাখ টাকা।
• শেয়ারবাজারে মন্দার প্রভাব পড়ে ব্যাংকের আর্থিক সূচকে। ২০১৯ সালে ট্রেডিং পোর্টফোলিও রেভিনিউ ২৮ কোটি কম হওয়ায় ব্যাংকের মার্ক টু মার্কেট ক্ষতির পরিমাণ দাঁড়ায় ৫৩ কোটি টাকায়, যাতে ক্ষতির পরিমাণ ২০১৮ সালের তুলনায় ৮১ কোটি টাকা বেশি।

• ২০১৯ সালে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকটির গ্রাহকের টাকা জমা দেওয়া (ঈঁংঃড়সবৎ উবঢ়ড়ংরঃ) ২০% বেড়েছে। আর গ্রাহক ঋণ বেড়েছে ১১%।
• ব্যাংকটির নিট সুদ মার্জিন ছিল ৫.৯%; ২০১৮ সালে যা ছিল ৬.১%। এখানে মূলত বাড়তি তহবিল ব্যয়ের (ভঁহফরহম পড়ংঃং) প্রতিফলন ঘটেছে।
• ২০১৯ সালে ব্যাংকটির মোট পরিচালন আয় (নিট সুদ আয় ও তহবিল বহির্ভূত আয়) আগের বছরের চেয়ে ১২% বেড়েছে। ২০১৮ সালে এই আয় ছিল ১৯১৬ কোটি ৫০ লাখ টাকা। ২০১৯ সালে তা বেড়ে হয়েছে ২১৩৮ কোটি ৮০ লাখ টাকা।
• ব্যাংকের আয়ের পেছনে ব্যয়ের (ঈড়ংঃ ঃড় ওহপড়সব ) অনুপাতে উন্নতি হয়েছে ২০১৯ সালে। ২০১৮ সালে যা ছিল ৫৪ শতাংশ, এবার তা নেমেছে ৫৩ শতাংশে।

পরিবেশগত নানা চ্যালেঞ্জ সত্ত্বেও ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক রিটার্ন অব ইক্যুইটি (আরওই) করেছে ১৬.৩ শতাংশ এবং রির্টান অব অ্যাসেট (আরওএ) করেছে ১.৬৫%; এই দুই অনুপাতই বাংলাদেশের ব্যাংকিং খাতে সর্বোচ্চ। ২০১৯ সালে ব্যাংকটির অলস ঋণের অনুপাত আগের বছরের তুলনায় বেড়েছে। ২০১৮ সালে ৩.১ শতাংশ থেকে এবার বেড়ে দাঁড়িয়েছে ৪শতাংশ। এটা হয়েছে মূলত করপোরেট গ্রাহকদের ঋণের চাপ বেড়ে যাওয়ায়। এ ছাড়া ব্যাংকের মন্দ ঋণের প্রভিশন কাভারেজ উচ্চ পর্যায়ে রয়েছে, ২০১৯ সালে যা রয়েছে ৯৭ শতাংশে।

মূলধন পর্যাপ্ততায় ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক শক্তিশালী অবস্থানে রয়েছে। ২০১৯ সালের ব্যাংকের মূলধন পর্যাপ্ততার (সিএআর) অনুপাত স্বস্তিদায়ক পর্যায়ে ছিল যা ছিল ১৬.১৬ শতাংশ। এটি দেশের ব্যাংকিং খাতে শীর্ষ পর্যায়ে থাকা অনুপাতের একটি এবং এটা স্থানীয় ব্যাসেল–৩ স্ট্যান্ডার্ড অনুযায়ী প্রয়োজনীয় ১২.৫ শতাংশের চাইতেও বেশি। এককভাবেও ব্যাংকের এই অনুপাত ২০১৯ সালে ছিল ১৫.০৭ — যা প্রয়োজনীয়তার চেয়ে ঢের বেশি। ২০১৯ সালের ডিসেম্বরের শেষে শেয়ার প্রতি নিট সম্পদ মূল্যমান (এনএভি) সব মিলিয়ে দাঁড়িয়েছে ৩২.৯০টাকা, ২০১৮ সালের একই সময়ে যা ছিল ২৮.৫৮ টাকা। ২০১৯ সালের ডিসেম্বরের শেষে এককভাবে এনএভি ছিল ৩০.৫৩ টাকা, যা ২০১৮ সালের একই সময়ে ছিল ২৫.৬৫টাকা।

জনাব হোসেন বলেন, ‘‘২০১৯ সালে ব্যাংক ও তার সহযোগী প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলো কৌশলগত এজেন্ডাগুলিকে এগিয়ে নেওয়ার কাজ অব্যাহত রেখেছে। এগুলো হলো: এ খাতের বেঞ্চমার্কের চাইতে গ্রাহকদের সঙ্গে সম্পর্ক জোরদার এবং গ্রাহকদের ডিপোজিট বাড়ানো; সক্রিয় ও গতিশীলতার সঙ্গে ডিজিটালে রূপান্তর পরিকল্পনা এগিয়ে নেওয়া; গ্রাহকদের ঋণ বাড়ানোর ক্ষেত্র সতর্কতার সঙ্গে গ্রাহক নির্বাচন করা এবং করপোরেট ও বাণিজ্যিক আইনি ঝুঁকির বিষয়ে সতর্ক থাকা।

ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক বাংলাদেশের যে কোনো ব্যাংকের চেয়ে বেশি আন্তর্জাতিক রেটিং অর্জনকারী ব্যাংক। এই ব্যাংকে করপোরেট পরিচালন বিদ্যমান। এই ব্যাংকে গ্রাহকদের সম্পদ খুব ভালোভাবে ছড়িয়ে দেওয়া রয়েছে। যেমন: এসএমই ও রিটেইল কাস্টমার সেগমেন্টসে যথাক্রমে ৪৪% ও ১৮% গ্রাহক ঋণ বরাদ্দ। এবং এর মূলধন পর্যাপ্ততা ও এনপিএল স্তর দেশের ব্যাংক খাতের মধ্যে সবচেয়ে ভালো।

আমরা মূল্যবোধভিত্তিক ব্যাংক, একইসাথে ব্যাংক পরিবারের একটি গর্বিত সদস্য। ব্র্যাক - এমন একটা নাম যা দেশের স্বাধীনতার ইতিহাসের সাথে ওতোপ্রোতভাবে জড়িত। আমাদের ভিশন হলো ‘পিপল, প্ল্যানেট অ্যান্ড প্রসপারিটি’ এবং আমাদের লক্ষ্য কমিউনিটিগুলোকে সমৃদ্ধশালী হিসেবে গড়ে তোলা”।

ভার্চুয়াল এই আয়োজন সামাজিক যোগাযোগ মাধ্যমে সরাসরি সম্প্রচার করা হয়। ব্যাংকের ব্যবস্থাপনা কমিটির সকল সদস্য এই আয়োজনে যুক্ত ছিলেন। প্রশ্নোত্তর পর্বের মধ্য দিয়ে এই ভার্চুয়াল আয়োজন শেষ হয়।

We are grateful to BRAC Bank for their generous support. With kindness spreading across the country through corporate, the way BRAC Bank has done, I believe no one will have to starve to death in this country”.

কোভিড-১৯ সংকটকালীন সময়ে ব্যবসাযয়িক কৌশল নিয়ে নারী উদ্যোক্তাদের জন্য ওয়েব সেমিনার আয়োজন করলো ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক

ঢাকা, বুধবার, ২২ এপ্রিল ২০২০: কোভিড-১৯ চলাকালীন সময়ে ব্যবসায়িক কৌশল নিয়ে নারী উদ্যোক্তাদের জন্য একটি ওয়েব সেমিনার বা ওয়েবিনার আয়োজন করেছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। ব্যাংকটির নারীদের জন্য বিশেষ ব্যাংকিং সেবা ‘তারা’ এই ডিজিটাল সেমিনারটি আয়োজন করে।

গত ১২ এপ্রিল ওয়েবিনারটি অনুষ্ঠিত হয়। এতে অধিবেশন পরিচালনা করেন সিঙ্গাপুরের জাতীয় বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের কৌশল ও নীতি বিভাগের পিএইচডি গবেষক এবং কমনওয়েলথ স্কলার খান মুহাম্মদ সাকিফুল আলম। অংশগ্রহণকারীদের প্রশ্নোত্তর পবের্র মাধ্যমে ওয়েবিনারটি শেষ হয়।

ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক জানিয়েছে যে কেবল গ্রাহকদের আর্থিক দিক বিবেচনা করে নয়, অন্যান্য সক্ষমতা সহায়তা প্রদান করার লক্ষ্যেও ‘তারা’ কাজ করে যাচ্ছে। ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ‘তারা’ তার নেটওয়ার্কিং ও ডেভলপমেন্ট ক্রিয়াকলাপের অংশ হিসাবে এই ওয়েব সেমিনারের আয়োজন করে। ভবিষ্যতে গ্রাহকদের ডিজিটাল মাধ্যমে এ ধরণের আরও সহায়তা প্রদানের ব্যাপারটি মাথায় রেখে কাজ করে যাচ্ছে তারা।

Dhaka, Tuesday, March 31, 2020: BRAC Bank has made a contribution of taka five crore to Prime Minister’s relief fund. The bank handed over a cheque through Bangladesh Association of Banks as their support to government for the ongoing battle against the deadly coronavirus pandemic.

Selim RF Hussain, the bank’s Managing Director and CEO, said in his comment, “We can’t assume to be out of danger as the number of infected and ill-fated is mounting everyday around the world. We might have survived the initial stage of the fatal COVID-19 due to the nationwide shutdown - thanks to our government for taking early measures. However, it is important that we remain alert and equipped to tackle situation if it worsens.”

“BRAC Bank took a number of preventive initiatives when COVID-19 first came to light in Bangladesh”, Hussain added, “We’ve been on our toes since then. We started communicating with our customers and employees on ways to prevent the spread. We have taken safety measures for both customers and employees in the 96 branches that we have kept open out of the 187 during the nation-wide shutdown. We're monitoring customer footfall every day and following the directions of Bangladesh Bank. We have kept enough cash in all our 450 ATMs across the country. We have sent 60 per cent of our 9,000 workers to work from home. We have also remained active in the social media with do’s and don’ts, developed and guided by BRAC, to prevent rumors, ignorance and misconceptions that would derail the fight against coronavirus. We believe that our contribution to the prime minister’s fund would further encourage others to come forward and join the battle.”

Earlier, BRAC Bank also announced to add 10% (maximum of Taka 1,000) for every donation made by its credit cardholders to Bidyanondo Foundation using BRAC Bank credit card.

COVID-19 এর বিস্তার রোধে
প্রধানমন্ত্রীর ত্রাণ তহবিলে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের পাঁচ কোটি টাকার সাহায্য

ঢাকা, মঙ্গলবার, মার্চ ৩১, ২০২০: প্রধানমন্ত্রীর ত্রাণ তহবিলে পাঁচ কোটি টাকার অনুদান দিয়েছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। মহামারী আকার ধারণ করা করোনভাইরাসের সংক্রমণ মোকাবেলায় সরকারকে সহায়তা হিসাবে প্রদান করেছে ব্যাংকটি। প্রধানমন্ত্রীর কার্যালয়ে বাংলাদেশ অ্যাসোসিয়েশন অফ ব্যাংকস এর মাধ্যমে একটি চেক হস্তান্তর করেছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক।

ব্যাংকের ব্যবস্থাপনা পরিচালক ও প্রধান নির্বাহী কর্মকর্তা সেলিম রেজা ফরহাদ হোসেন বলেন, “সারা বিশ্বে প্রতিদিন সংক্রমণ যে হারে বাড়ছে, তাতে কেউই নিজেদের পুরোপুরি নিরাপদ ভাবতে পারেন না। দেশব্যাপী বন্ধের কারণে হয়তো আমরা ঈঙঠওউ-১৯ সংক্রমণ রোধে প্রাথমিক ভাবে সফল হয়েছি – আর এর জন্য সরকারকে ধন্যবাদ না দিলেই নয়। তবে পরিস্থিতি আরও খারাপ হলে তা মোকাবিলায় আমাদের সতর্ক ও প্রস্তুত থাকা প্রয়োজন।”

COVID-19 বাংলাদেশে প্রথম প্রকাশ হওয়ার প্রায় সঙ্গে সঙ্গেই ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক বেশ কয়েকটি প্রতিরোধমূলক উদ্যোগ নিয়েছিল”, হোসেন বলেন, “আমরা তখন থেকেই তৎপর। আমরা আমাদের গ্রাহক এবং কর্মচারীদের সাথে বিস্তার রোধ করার উপায়গুলি নিয়ে যোগাযোগ শুরু করি এবং তা এখনও অব্যাহত রয়েছে। দেশব্যাপী বন্ধের সময়ও গ্রাহক ও কর্মীদের সুরক্ষা নিশ্চিত করে আমরা আমাদের ১৮৭টি ব্রাঞ্চের ৯৬টিই খোলা রেখেছি। আমরা প্রতিদিন ব্রাঞ্চে গ্রাহকের উপস্থিতি পর্যবেক্ষণ করছি এবং বাংলাদেশ ব্যাংকের এ সংক্রান্ত নির্দেশনা অনুসরণ করছি। গ্রাহকদের কথা বিবেচনা করে দেশব্যাপী আমাদের ৪৫০টি এটিএম বুথে পর্যাপ্ত নগদ অর্থ জমা রেখেছি। আমাদের ৯,০০০ কর্মীর ৬০ শতাংশই বাড়ি থেকে কাজ করছেন। কোন ধরণের গুজব, অজ্ঞতা বা ভুল ধারণা যেন করোনাভাইরাসের প্রতিরোধ যুদ্ধে কোন ক্ষতি না করে সেজন্য ব্র্যাক এর প্রস্তুত করা করোনা প্রতিরোধে করণীয় সংক্রান্ত বেশ কিছু পোস্ট ও বার্তা নিয়ে আমরা সোশ্যাল মিডিয়ায় সক্রিয় রয়েছি। আমরা বিশ্বাস করি যে প্রধানমন্ত্রীর ত্রাণ তহবিলে আমাদের অবদান অনেককেই সরকারের সহায়তায় ও দেশের মানুষের জন্য এগিয়ে আসতে উত্সাহিত করবে। "

এর আগে, ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক, বিদ্যানন্দ ফাউন্ডেশনে তার ক্রেডিট কার্ডধারীদের প্রতিটি অনুদানের জন্য ১০% (সর্বোচ্চ ১,০০০ টাকা) পর্যন্ত অনুদান যোগ করার ঘোষণা দিয়েছে।

Dhaka, Tuesday, 31 March 2020: BRAC Bank has embraced social distancing in all its active branch offices. The bank has ensured marking on the floors for its customers so that they can maintain safe distance from each other inside the branch offices.

The government has advised the people to maintain 'social distance', at least three feet distance from others, to prevent coronavirus spread. While many are not being able to maintain the safe distance, BRAC Bank has made red marks in its branches so as to allow its visiting customers maintain safe distance from each other. The bank has kept 74 out of its 187 branches open amidst the nation-wide shutdown.

With increasing footfall of its customers since the beginning of the shutdown, the bank has taken number of initiatives to ensure safe health of its employees as well as the customers. The bank has arranged hand sanitizers for the customers and employees, special messages of cleanliness for those who handle cash and now has marked red squares inside the branch offices to allow its customers maintain safe distance from the other visiting customers.

Selim R. F. Hussain, Managing Director and CEO of the bank said, “BRAC Bank has over 8,500 employees and 60 per cent of its employees are working from home. We have introduced roster for our customer-facing employees. We have encouraged digital banking and ensured multiple alternate banking channels for the customers. We have done all we can to promote social distancing among our employees and customers.”

“We have also formed a Central Quick Response Team and a Regional Quick Response Team so as to come up with more ideas to promote social distancing and keep our operations running”, Mr. Hussain added, “While it is important that the banks remain operative during a crisis to ensure people’s access to finance, the bank has taken precautionary safety measures for its employees who are still attending the office and has been sanitizing and disinfecting its premises for the last three weeks. The bank has also ensured safe health for its drivers, cleaners and office bearers through awareness and safety instructions.”

BRAC Bank, in social media, also thanked its customers for remaining in safe distance inside their branches.

শাখা অফিসগুলিতে সামাজিক দূরত্ব নিশ্চিত করছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক

ঢাকা, মঙ্গলবার, মার্চ ৩১, ২০২০: ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক তার সক্রিয় শাখা কার্যালয়গুলোতে গ্রাহকদের সামাজিক দূরত্ব বজায় রাখতে অনুপ্রাণিত করছে। গ্রাহকদের জন্য শাখা অফিসের অভ্যন্তরে চিহ্নিতকরণের মাধ্যমে গ্রাহকদের একে অপরের থেকে নিরাপদ দূরত্ব বজায় রাখারা ব্যবস্থা করেছে ব্যাংকটি।

করোনভাইরাস সংক্রমণ রোধে সরকার শুরু থেকেই সবাইকে 'সামাজিক দূরত্ব' বজায় রাখার পরামর্শ দিয়েছে। যদিও অনেকেই নিরাপদ দূরত্ব বজায় রাখতে সক্ষম হচ্ছে না, ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক তার খোলা থাকা শাখাগুলিতে লাল চিহ্ন তৈরি করেছে যেন আগত গ্রাহকরা একে অপরের থেকে নিরাপদ দূরত্ব বজায় রাখতে পারে। উলে­খ্য, ব্যাংকটি বাসায় থাকার বন্ধের মধ্যে এর ১৮৭টি শাখার ৭৪টিই খোলা রেখেছে।

সীমিত ব্যাংকিং সময়সূচীর মাঝেও গ্রাহকদের ক্রমবর্ধমান পদচারণার ফলে ব্যাংকটি তার কর্মীদের পাশাপাশি গ্রাহকদের নিরাপদ স্বাস্থ্য নিশ্চিত করতেও বহু উদ্যোগ নিয়েছে । ব্যাংকটি গ্রাহক ও কর্মীদের সবার জন্য হ্যান্ড স্যানিটাইজার এর ব্যবস্থা করেছে, যারা নগদ অর্থ নিয়ে কাজ করেন, তাদের জন্য পরিচ্ছন্নতার বিশেষ বার্তা প্রচার করেছে এবং গ্রাহকদের অপর দর্শনার্থীদের থেকে সামাজিক ও নিরাপদ দূরত্ব বজায় রাখতে অনুপ্রাণিত করছে।

ব্যাংকের ব্যবস্থাপনা পরিচালক ও প্রধান নির্বাহী কর্মকর্তা সেলিম রেজা ফরহাদ হোসেন বলেন, “ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের সাড়ে ৮ হাজারেরও বেশি কর্মীর ৬০ শতাংশই বাড়ি থেকে অফিসের কাজ করছেন। গ্রাহকের সরাসরি হওয়া কর্মীদের জন্য আমরা রোস্টার ব্যবস্থা চালু করেছি। গ্রাহকদের আমরা ডিজিটাল ব্যাংকিংএ উত্সাহিত করেছি এবং গ্রাহকদের জন্য একাধিক বিকল্প ব্যাংকিং চ্যানেল নিশ্চিত করেছি। আমরা আমাদের কর্মী ও গ্রাহকদের মধ্যে সামাজিক দূরত্বের প্রচারের জন্য যথাসাধ্য চেষ্টা করেছি”।

তিনি আরও বলেন, “আমরা একটি কেন্দ্রীয় কুইক রেস্পন্স টিম ও একটি রিজিওনাল কুইক রেস্পন্স টিম গঠন করেছি যাতে করোনা সংক্রমণ প্রতিরোধে যথাযথ ব্যবস্থা গ্রহণ করে আমরা আমাদের ব্যাংকিং কার্যক্রম সুষ্ঠুভাবে চালিয়ে যেতে পারি। যারা অফিস করছেন তাদের সকলের জন্য আমরা সুরক্ষা ব্যবস্থা গ্রহণ করেছি। গত তিন সপ্তাহ ধরে আমরা আমাদের সমস্ত স্থাপনায় জীবাণুমুক্ত করার প্রক্রিয়া অব্যাহত চলেছেন। এছাড়া সচেতনতা এবং সুরক্ষা নির্দেশাবলীর মাধ্যমে আমরা আমাদের সকল চালক, পরিচ্ছন্নকর্মী এবং অফিস সহকারীদেরও নিরাপদ স্বাস্থ্য নিশ্চিত করেছি”।

শাখা অফিসগুলোতে সামাজিক দূরত্ব বজায় রাখতে সহযোগিতা করায় ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক সামাজিক যোগাযোগ মাধ্যমগুলোতে তার গ্রাহকদের ধন্যবাদও জানিয়েছে।

Dhaka, Wednesday, February 12, 2020: BRAC Bank has become the first ever Bangladeshi bank to have achieved an ISO certification for its standard of management of security operations. With this certification, known as ISO 18788:2015, BRAC Bank is now all set to ensure the highest security measures amidst the growing importance of cyber security in the financial sector. 

The ISO 18788:2015 standard provides a framework for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving the management of security operations. This certification will also help BRAC Bank gaining more customer trust for their banking needs.

BRAC bank is also the first Bangladeshi bank that was certified with ISO 27001:2013 in recognition of its compliance with the highest standards in developing and implementing an Information Security Management System to protect customers’ data and maintain the security of stakeholders’ information assets in 2017. 

BRAC Bank was also the first among the banks in Bangladesh to have established a 24x7 security operations center (SOC) in 2018 and fulfilled this cyber security mandate of Bangladesh Bank. 

The ISO 18788:2015 for Cyber Security Operations and Fusion Center will also enable the bank to effectively manage the SOC.

Commenting on the achievement, the bank’s Managing Director and CEO Selim R. F. Hussain said, “We are delighted to have received the ISO 18788 accreditation. BRAC Bank is driven by a clear vision - to be the best bank in the country. In order to become the best, our focus is on making ourselves better on compliance and customers’ banking experience. In order to ensure secured and seamless digital customer experience, it is important that we become resilient to cyber threats, demonstrate strong commitment towards data protection and maintain the confidentiality and integrity of data and information assets. The certification is a key milestone in our digital transformation journey”. 

ISO 18788:2015 certification directly contributes to 16th goal of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the area of Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.

Banking is all about serving the people. Bankers always strive to find out ways how contribute to the economy, guard people’s savings, help them to prosper and include them in the development of the nation.

However, they also have another role to play. They go beyond their banking duties, come out of their desk and serve the people and community with love and care. Often, they come forward to respond to the call of humanity. 

What’s more noble than to raise fund together and donate the amount to the charitable organizations. This is their way to serve the people and society!

It all started in 2011 when BRAC Bank pioneered the idea of a fundraiser marathon, a first in the country, inspiring all employees to voluntarily donate for the social cause. The bank commits to match the amount 100% from its CSR fund and the total amount is then donated to the charitable organizations. Since then they run in Agargaon around the parliament and in Hatirjheel. Whenever they run, the philosophy of standing beside the less fortune of the society remain same.  

Every year they organize the run full of passion and unwavering commitment, symbolizing the very brand promise of BRAC Bank.

Over the last nine years, DOUR has created a distinctive mark as an employee-initiated CSR initiative.

It has also led to development of running habit among the corporate executives and young people who are conscious about health and welling. Initially planned only for BRAC Bank officials, DOUR is now open to all, a gesture to involve the community and serve the people together. Now DOUR has earned a place in almanac of sports and running enthusiasts in Bangladesh. 

One guest participant who finished 10^th said: “I proudly hold my DOUR crest and tell my friends about the examples BRAC Bank is setting in Bangladesh. DOUR goes beyond humanitarian cause, the most important aspect is that it sends wave of lifestyle change among the youth who now take up running passionately because of DOUR.”

This year, the bankers will brave the morning fog and cold and run for the humanity on February 14, 2020 in Hatirjheel. 

BRAC Bank has donated more than BDT 1 crore to the charities and distributed one lakh warm clothes under DOUR initiative. Social organizations like Diganta Memorial Cancer Foundation, Association for the Aged and Institute of Geriatric Medicine, Protibondhi Foundation, Subarta Trust, Thalassaemia Samity, CRP-Savar, Rights & Sight for Children, Deepshikha School, Changing Diabetes in Children-BIRDEM etc. are now better off after DOUR contribution. 

BRAC Bank’s Managing Director & CEO, Selim R.F. Hussain, said, “As a values-based organization belonging to the larger BRAC Family, corporate responsibility is embedded in the DNA of the Bank. I am encouraged to see the passion and spontaneity in our colleagues to contribute to society. DOUR is an amazing example of employee-driven CSR initiative. We will take the annual marathon to a newer level in coming years. We strongly believe that together we can make a difference in people’s lives."

Let’s join the run and work for the humanity.
