Dhaka, Monday, January 13, 2020: As part of its commitment to support Green Banking, BRAC Bank, today, has introduced Paperless Personal Identification Number (PIN) for its debit cardholders. PIN generation for cards has historically been an awkward paper-based process. Making it paperless enables the bank to securely transmit card PINs at the cardholder’s convenience, abstaining the old complex procedure.
BRAC Bank customers, after getting hold of the debit card, can now generate their own PIN via phone banking. They will call the BRAC Bank call centre (16221 or +8809611223344, +880255668055-6) from their registered phone number and with the assistance of a call centre agent activate their debit card and also set a PIN of their own choice. This gives the customer a hassle-free and secured banking experience. Earlier, the customers had to wait for delivery of paper-based PIN that could get delayed due to many reasons.
Commenting on this initiative, Mahiul Islam, BRAC Bank’s Head of Retail Banking, said: “BRAC Bank is committed to enhance customer’s banking experience through digitalization. In this era, Paperless PIN generation for debit cards is one of our many customer-centric and Green Banking initiatives. It also significantly simplifies the manual process of paper-based PIN printing thereby reducing carbon footprint. We aim to bring more innovative solutions soon for our customers”.
BRAC Bank is one of the founding members of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV). Founded in 2009, GABV is a network of banking leaders from around the world that are committed to advancing positive change, including green banking, in the banking sector. BRAC Bank is the only representative to the GABV forum from Bangladesh.

বাংলাদেশ ফিন্যান্স ইনটেলিজেন্স ইউনিট এর উপ-মহাব্যবস্থাপক মোঃ শওকতুল আলম, যুগ্ম পরিচালক মোঃ মাসুদ রানা এবং অ্যান্টি-মানি লন্ডারিং কমপ্লায়েন্স অফিসারস অব ব্যাংক ইন বাংলাদেশ এর চেয়ারম্যান ও ইস্টার্ন ব্যাংক এর ডিএমডি চৌধুরী এম. এ. কিউ. সারওয়ার কর্মশালাটি পরিচালনা করেন। ১৪ ডিসেম্বর ২০১৯ সাভারের ব্র্যাক সিডিএম-এ কর্মশালাটি আয়োজিত হয়।
রিভার পুলিশের অ্যাডিশনাল ডিআইজি মোল্লা নজরুল ইসলাম এবং সিআইডি’র অ্যাডিশনাল সুপারিন্টেন্ডেন্ট অব পুলিশ রায়হান উদ্দীন খান এএমএল ও কেওয়াইসি নিয়ে আলোচনা করেন এবং নানা প্রশ্নের উত্তর দেন।

তিনি আরও বলেন, “এএমএল ও কেওয়াইসি নিয়মাবলীর সঠিক প্রতিপালন নিশ্চিত করতে আমরা নিয়মিত আমাদের কর্মীদের প্রশিক্ষণ দিয়ে থাকি, ফলে তারা নতুন নিয়মকানুনগুলো সম্পর্কে সচেতন থাকে। উচ্চ যোগ্যতা সম্পন্ন প্রশিক্ষকদের মাধ্যমে পরিচালিত এই প্রশিক্ষণ আমাদের কর্মীদের গুরুত্বপূর্ণ জ্ঞান ও দক্ষতা অজ©নে সাহায্য করবে। ভবিষ্যতেও আমরা ব্যাংক জুড়ে এএমএল সচেতনতা অব্যাহত রাখবো, কারণ আমাদের লক্ষ্য ক্রমাগত প্রশিক্ষণ ও সচেতনতা বৃদ্ধির মধ্য দিয়ে দেশের সেরা এএমএল ও কেওয়াইসি নিয়ম পালনকারী ব্যাংকে পরিণত হওয়া।”
বাংলাদেশ ব্যাংকের গাইডলাইন অনুসারে প্রস্তুত মডিউলের মাধ্যমে প্রত্যেকটি কর্মীর জন্য বছরে অন্তত একবার এএমএল ও কেওয়াইসি প্রশিক্ষণের আয়োজন করে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। প্রধান অফিসে সাপ্তাহিক ভিত্তিতে এবং আঞ্চলিক অফিসে মাসিক ভিত্তিতে প্রতিটি কর্মীর জন্যই প্রশিক্ষণের আয়োজন করা হয়।
জাতির মূল্যবোধের পাশাপাশি নিজস্ব মূল্যবোধগুলোতেও বিশ্বাস করে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। তাই জ্ঞান এবং দক্ষতাকে বিভিন্ন স্তরে বাড়িয়ে তুলতে প্রশিক্ষণ কর্মসূচির মাধ্যমে কম©কতা©দের জ্ঞান ও দক্ষতা বিকাশে বিনিয়োগ করে থাকে ব্যাংকটি।

ঢাকা, সোমবার, ২ ডিসেম্বর ২০১৯: ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক লিমিটেডকে বেসরকারি ব্যাংক ক্যাটেগরিতে সেরা অ্যানুয়াল রিপোর্টের জন্য পুরস্কারে ভূষিত করেছে সার্ক-এর শীর্ষস্থানীয় সংস্থা, দ্য সাউথ এশিয়ান ফেডারেশন অব অ্যাকাউন্ট্যান্টস (সাফা)।
পাশাপাশি দক্ষিণ এশিয়ার অংশগ্রহণকারী দেশগুলোর মধ্যে ২০১৮ সালে অ্যানুয়াল রিপোর্টের জন্য সামগ্রিক বিজয়ী হিসেবেও স্বীকৃত হয়েছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক।
একটানা তিন বছর ধরে এই সম্মানজনক পুরস্কার জিতে নেয়া ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের আরেক অসাধারণ অর্জন। ২০১৬ ও ২০১৭ সালেও যথাক্রমে কাঠমান্ডু ও পুনে-তে বেস্ট প্রেজেন্টেড অ্যানুয়াল রিপোর্ট অ্যাওয়ার্ড পাওয়ার পর এটি ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের তৃতীয় জয়। কর্পোরেট ডিসক্লোজার অ্যাওয়ার্ড অর্জন করে ভারত, শ্রীলঙ্কা, পাকিস্তান, নেপাল, মালদ্বীপ, ভুটান ও আফগানিস্তানের প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলো থেকে এগিয়ে গেছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। এছাড়াও, একই অনুষ্ঠানে ইন্টেগ্রেটেড রিপোর্টিং বিভাগেও সার্টিফিকেট অব মেরিট প্রদান করে সাফা।
এছাড়া একই অনুষ্ঠানে দ্য ইনস্টিটিউট অব চার্টার্ড অ্যাকাউন্ট্যান্টস অব বাংলাদেশ (আইসিএবি) থেকে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক অ্যানুয়াল রিপোর্ট ২০১৮ এর জন্য বেসরকারি ব্যাংক ক্যাটেগরিতে এবং ইন্টেগ্রেটেড রিপোর্টিং ক্যাটেগরিতে দ্বিতীয় পুরস্কার পেয়েছে।
গণপ্রজাতন্ত্রী বাংলাদেশ সরকারের বাণিজ্য মন্ত্রণালয়ের মাননীয় মন্ত্রী টিপু মুনশি এমপি গত ৩০ নভেম্বর, ২০১৯ ঢাকার প্যান প্যাসিফিক সোনারগাঁও-এ অনুষ্ঠিত হওয়া সাফা ইন্টারন্যাশনাল কনফারেন্সে এই পুরস্কারগুলো প্রদান করেন। ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের পক্ষ থেকে আনুষ্ঠানিকভাবে পাঁচটি পুরস্কার গ্রহণ করেন ব্যবস্থাপনা পরিচালক ও সিইও সেলিম আর. এফ. হোসেন এবং ব্যবস্থাপনা পরিচালক ও সিএফও মোহম্মদ মাসুদ রানা এফসিএ।
এই বিষয়ে জনাব সেলিম আর. এফ. হোসেন বলেন: “সাফা’র আয়োজিত মর্যাদাপূর্ণ এই অনুষ্ঠানে পাঁচটি পুরস্কার প্রাপ্তি একটি বড় অর্জন, যা আমাদের কর্পোরেট সুশাসন ও স্বচ্ছতার পাশাপাশি কঠোরভাবে নিয়মকানুন মেনে চলারই প্রতিফলন। সাফা এবং আইসিএবি’র এই স্বীকৃতি কর্পোরেট নিয়ন্ত্রণ এবং আন্তর্জাতিক অ্যাকাউন্টিং স্ট্যান্ডার্ড অনুসরণের ক্ষেত্রে নতুন উচ্চতায় পৌঁছাতে অনুপ্রাণিত করে দেশের সেরা ব্যাংক হওয়ার দিকে আমাদেরকে আরও এগিয়ে নিবে। আমাদের ওপর অবিচল আস্থা রাখার জন্য ব্যাংকের সম্মানিত গ্রাহক ও অংশিদারদের প্রতি আমরা কৃতজ্ঞ।”

BRAC Bank’s special loan to support families with emergency finance
Dhaka, Thursday, November 21, 2019: Prevalence of cancer is rising globally. This deadly disease poses big health threat around the world.
Cancer has become one of the major causes of mortality among the non-communicable diseases in Bangladesh. Approximately, 15 lakh cancer patients exist in Bangladesh and each year around 1.5 lakh new patients are diagnosed with cancer. The lack of cancer awareness, early detection, inadequate medical and public health infrastructure and the lack of cancer-prevention funding continue to worsen the situation in the country.
Cancer comes as a big financial burden to the patient and the family as well. The good news is early detection and proper treatment can significantly increase chance of survival and improve post-treatment wellbeing of the patient. Financial constraint is one of the major barriers to proper treatment, especially in countries like Bangladesh.
In this this backdrop, BRAC Bank Limited and Radiant Business Consortium Limited, the authorized importer and distributor of Roche medicines in Bangladesh, will introduce “Special Featured Healthcare Loan” for selective Roche medicines for cancer patients. Roche is a major producer of lifesaving cancer medicines including chemotherapy.
Dewan Imteaz Ahmed, Head of Retail Lending, BRAC Bank; and Arshad Mahmood, Director Finance, Radiant Pharmaceuticals Limited; signed a memorandum of understanding to this effect on November 6, 2019 in Dhaka. Adriano Antonio Treve, Area Head, Central Eastern Europe, Turkey, Russia, and Indian Subcontinent; Md. Nasser Shahrear Zahedee, Chairman, Radiant; and Dr. Mohammad Afroz Jalil, Country Manager, Roche Bangladesh Limited, were also present.

All children are born with the same rights - a simple truth but a far cry from reality!
The numbers are grim. While Bangladesh has taken a number of initiatives, with the assistance from its development partners, over the past decades to increase primary to secondary school enrolment, the number of out-of-school children is still thought to be on a declining curve, according to UNICEF estimates.
After years of strong growth, Bangladesh is seeking to move to the next level of prosperity. For a country targeting its way to achieving the middle-income economy status, the importance of children’s right to mainstream education from early childhood cannot be ignored as it can trap adolescents into low-skilled, poorly paid and insecure employment that can potentially hold back economic growth. Inclusion is one of the most fundamental challenges when it comes to accessing decent education especially for the underprivileged.
However, education for adolescents have not gotten lost in transit. A number of non-profit organizations have surfaced up working relentlessly to eradicate illiteracy and change the local community through a sustainable model for learning - DeepShikha School, being one such organization.
Legendary poet Sufia Kamal and prominent educationist Dr. Sultana Zaman founded DeepShikha School in 1982 with the aim of wiping out illiteracy from Gulbagh, Mailibag and Shantibag area of Dhaka city. Since its establishment, DeepShikha School has worked on reshaping its teaching-learning experience to cope with the evolving pedagogy that best serve the students to not only acquire academic knowledge but also to build social awareness and emotional intelligence, combat sexual abuse, increase environmental pollution and develop communication skills.
Classrooms have been transformed through the successful implementation of Education for Sustainable Development under UN SDSN – Global School Programme in order to increase socio-emotional intelligence for students (Social Emotional Learning). The school has started a “Turning Trash into Treasure” programme for students to fight off environmental pollution and increase awareness on plastic waste management. They have also hosted a number of trainings and workshops on sexual abuse. The school which get teaching support from Teach for Bangladesh puts special focus on extracurricular activities like arts and crafts, music, literature and theatrical performance.
BRAC Bank is proud to partner with DeepShikha School and extend its support to education initiatives to realize the potential of underprivileged students. Being a member of United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), BRAC Bank is fully committed towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through this initiative.
BRAC Bank puts immense priority on education intervention programmes in light with its vision for an enlightened Bangladesh. Also with the country’s overall growth and progress in mind, the bank spends more than 40% of its CSR budget in the education sector.
Commenting on the support, BRAC Bank’s Deputy Managing Director and CRO Chowdhury Akhtar Asif said: “As a values-based organization belonging to the larger BRAC family, corporate responsibility is embedded in the DNA of the Bank. We see this support as an investment in the society that would benefit the country in the long run. As a member of United Nations Global Compact and being committed to Sustainable Development Goals, BRAC Bank always gives importance to the CSR programmes like one in education, that have long-term impact on the people as well as on the society.”
“As a bank, we keep unshakeable trust on the dream, aspiration and potential of the youth. We believe through this support, we are helping realize talents of the meritorious students coming from financially challenged background,” he continued.

এগিয়ে নিতে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক প্রতিশ্রুতিবদ্ধ
বাংলাদেশসহ বিশ্বব্যাপী ব্যাংকিং অন ভ্যালুস দিবস পালন
ঢাকা, বৃহস্পতিবার, ৭ নভেম্বর ২০১৯: ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এ গ্লোবাল অ্যালায়েন্স ফর ব্যাংকিং অন ভ্যালুস (জিএবিভি) এর মূল্যবোধ ভিত্তিক বা দায়িত্বশলি ব্যাংকিং (BankingOnValues Campaign) ক্যাম্পেইন শুরুর ঘোষণা দিতে পেরে আমি আনন্দিত।
জিএবিভি’র উদ্যোগে প্রতি বছর ৭ নভেম্বর বিশ্বব্যাপী ব্যাংকিং অন ভ্যালুস দিবস পালন করা হয়। এই বছরের ক্যাম্পেইনটি বিশেষ গুরুত্ব বহন করে। কারণ, জিএবিভি এ বছর তার প্রতিষ্ঠার ১০ বছর উদযাপন করছে। এ বছরের প্রতিপাদ্য হচ্ছে ‘আমি বেছে নিয়েছি #ব্যাংকিং অন ভ্যালুস। কারণ, আমি জলবায়ু সম্পকে© সচেতন। কারণ, আমি সমতা নিয়ে সচেতন। কারণ, আমি অভিবাসীদের নিয়ে সচেতন।’
এটা এমন একটি বৈশ্বিক উদ্যোগ যা সামাজিক কল্যাণের জন্য একটি সম্মিলিত প্রচেষ্টা হিসেবে আত্মপ্রকাশ করেছে। এবং ব্যাংকিং খাতকে ইতিবাচক ধারণায় উজ্জীবিত করেছে, যে পরিবর্তন ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক সব সময় প্রত্যাশা করে আসছিল।
জিএবিভির যাত্রা শুরু ২০০৯ সালে। এটা বিশ্বজুড়ে ব্যাংকিং খাতের নেতৃত্বদানকারীদের একটি নেটওয়ার্ক। এই জোটের সামষ্টিক লক্ষ্য হচ্ছে ব্যাংকিং ব্যবস্থায় একটি নৈতিক মানদন্ডকে অনুপ্রাণিত করা। যাতে করে এই খাতটা অধিকতর স্বচ্ছ হয়; তা অর্থনৈতিক, সামাজিক এবং পরিবেশগত টেকসই উন্নতিকে সহায়তা করে। এমন কিছু বৈচিত্রময় ব্যাংকিং প্রতিষ্ঠানের সমন্বয়ে এই জোট গড়ে তোলা হয়েছে, যারা প্রকৃত অর্থনীতিকে সেবা দিয়ে চলেছে।
জিএবিভির সদস্যদের রয়েছে অভিন্ন একটি মিশন। সেটি হচ্ছে টেকসই অর্থনৈতিক, সামাজিক ও পরিবেশগত উন্নয়নের জন্য অথা©য়নের কায©কর ব্যবহার। এ ক্ষেত্রে একটা লক্ষ্য থাকে ব্যক্তি পর্যায়ে সহায়তা করা। যাতে করে সেই ব্যক্তিরা নিজেদের সম্ভাবনা কাজে লাগাতে পারেন এবং শক্তিশালী কমিউনিটি গড়ে তুলতে পারেন।

জিএবিভ ‘র মূল্যবোধ একটি মানদন্ডে নিহিত থাকে। যা আমাদের জন্য এনে দেয় স্বচ্ছতা, গ্রহণযোগ্যতা এবং একটি বৈশ্বিক পরিচিতি বা ব্র্যান্ডিং। আমাদের ব্যাংকিং মডেলের ওপরে আমাদের রয়েছে অগাধ বিশ্বাস। আসুন আমরা আমাদের ভবিষ্যৎ কর্মপন্থা ঠিক করে নিই; সবাই মিলে বৃহত্তর কল্যাণের জন্য, অধিকতর একটি ভালো সমাজের জন্য কাজ করি।

The proprietors of Piya Fashion, Diva's World, Harvest Home, Aranya Craft Ltd, Dream Electronics and Orogenic Resources BD Ltd have availed SME credit from BRAC Bank, that helped them expand their business significantly.
During their official visit, the delegates praised BRAC Bank’s comprehensive women’s banking solutions, TARA, that aims to empower women and offer them unique propositions - bringing them into the mainstream financial system and allowing them to benefit from economic freedom.
At present, IFC is the largest foreign currency fund supplier to BRAC Bank, of which loan facility of US$ 90 million, along with global trade finance facility of approximately US$ 30 million were financed by the bank.
The bank’s Deputy Managing Director and CRO Chowdhury Akhtar Asif welcomed the delegates and elaborated on longstanding partnership with IFC. Deputy Managing Director and COO Md Sabbir Hossain, Deputy Managing Director and CFO Mohammod Masud Rana FCA and senior officials were also present.
Head of SME Banking Syed Abdul Momen briefed them about the bank’s legacy in SME and said: “World Bank Group - IFC and BRAC Bank have shared an important journey of financial inclusion for the vastly unbanked people and women entrepreneurs of Bangladesh for over a decade now. Through deepening our partnership, BRAC Bank is leading by example – demonstrating and showcasing its greater drive for financial inclusion. This partnership is catalytic to bringing more entrepreneurs into the financial system and guide them to a path of prosperity.”
“World Bank Group’s IFC has been one of the major partners of BRAC Bank, particularly in SME financing.

Holds formal Quarterly Earnings Disclosure Programme on YTD September 30 results of 2019
Key Highlights:
BRAC Bank (Standalone):
BRAC Bank (Consolidated):
Dhaka, Sunday, November 03, 2019: BRAC Bank Limited, the largest market cap in the Bangladesh banking sector, continues to maintain its growth momentum. BBL’s YTD Sept 30 customer loans and deposits continue to grow well above industry averages.
BBL’s strong governance, client acquisition strategies and risk management processes continue to drive NPLs down – the bank’s 30th September 2019 NPLs are roughly one-third of industry average.
The bank continues to aggressively pursue its digitalization agenda, having upgraded its Core Banking System, installed Oracle ERP, Treasury Management Systems, upgraded its Credit & Debit Management Systems, upgraded its Call Centre Systems and Relocated Call Centre. The bank has also rolled out a digital 24/7 Agent Banking capability and has already on-boarded 200+ Agents.
However, the profit after tax decreased by 4%, from BDT 392 Cr. to BDT 377 Cr., mainly due to capital (stock) market operations generating BDT 45 crore loss in 2019 as against a BDT 18 crore revenue in 2018. Effective tax rate was also 8% higher in 2019 as against in 2018 because of the capital market loss and lower taxed revenue.
The disclosure programme was broadcast live on the internet for the bank’s overseas stakeholders, local and foreign investment analysts and capital market experts.
BRAC Bank’s Managing Director & CEO Selim R. F. Hussain presented the financial results and provided an interactive Live Q&A session. Deputy Managing Director & CRO Chowdhury Akhtar Asif, Deputy Managing Director and COO Md Sabbir Hossain, Deputy Managing Director and CFO Mohammod Masud Rana FCA, Head of Corporate Banking Tareq Refat Ullah Khan, Head of SME Banking Syed Abdul Momen, Head of Treasury & FIs Shaheen Iqbal also presented their business highlights at the programme at the bank’s Head Office in Dhaka on November 3, 2019.
Commenting on the bank’s disclosures, Selim R. F. Hussain, said, “BRAC Bank has continued to grow customer deposits and loans at a rate well above the industry average. The SME and Retail asset portfolios continue to improve and major de-risking initiatives have also been taken in the Corporate segment– all despite difficult market conditions. The Bank’s priority has been to improve liquidity and reduce money market dependency and that, too, has been achieved. The Digital Transformation strategy is gaining momentum with a new Innovation Studio launched and multiple projects having been initiated. bKash continues to aggressively grow its customer base and the digital ecosystem and has regained 4 million new customers last year. The Bank is on a strong footing and is looking to build the platform for exponential business growth in the medium term.”

BRAC Bank commits to realize potential of autistic children
Autism is not a mental illness. Because people with autism are not physically disabled, they look just like anybody without the disability. Due to this invisible nature it can be much harder to create awareness and understanding of the condition. Autism typically appears during the first three years of life.
These differently abled children cannot interpret facial expressions or emotions. They do not know how to share or make friends. Individuals with autism may also experience sensitivities in the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste, although, some autistic children show exceptional skill in areas such as art, music, calculation, calendars, computers or memory.
Children with autism are super-talented in some areas. They are not disabled, they are just differently abled.
Keeping that in mind, on October 23, 2019 BRAC Bank has hosted a painting session with autistic children, adolescents and adults coming over from Society for the Welfare of Autistic Children (SWAC), an organization that works for welfare and education of the autistic children.
Our objective is to build awareness of the unique talents and gifts these people possess within the community. The association of autism with special talent, sometimes at the highest level, cannot be denied and provides one of the most tantalizing mysteries of this condition. BRAC Bank remains steadfast in its commitment to improve the quality of life of everyone living with autism.
A group of 30 children enjoyed good time at BRAC Bank Head Office roaming around, mingling and interacting with the officials of the bank including the bank’s Managing Director and CEO Selim R. F. Hussain.

It is in our nature to stuff all cards - be it debit or credit, driving license or ID in a wallet that we always carry around. But what if we lose our wallet! For one thing, losing a wallet is a real nightmare. For another, enduring the agony of the procedural call that needs to be followed becomes a major life-changing event in itself ! However, the turnout wouldn't be so bad if you have subscribed to the card protection plans (CPP) offered by BRAC Bank Ltd.
BRAC Bank has launched a Card Protection Plan in association with CPP Group Bangladesh that provides protection to cardholders. In simple terms, it is a comprehensive card protection service in case of any loss, theft, fraud and other related emergencies such as travel and hotel assistance. This service is designed to be useful in times of a crisis situation. In case of any such events experienced anywhere in the world, all you need to do is make a single call to CPP's 24-hour helpline and report loss of card(s).
You can choose from a set of distinct plans, depending on your lifestyle and spend behavior and get yourself covered for a complimentary fraud protection coverage up to BDT 200,000, mobile wallet protection against fraud for up to BDT 100,000 and overseas emergency assistance for payment of hotel expenses up to BDT 200,000. Currently, three types of protection plans - Value, Classic and Premium, are available for your BRAC Bank Credit Card.
At the launch ceremony, Joarder Tanvir Faisal, Head of Products – Cards of BRAC Bank, said “We are delighted to have introduced the CPP facility to our cardholders. Our customers have always been at the core of our innovations and offerings. We are continuously striving to provide improved convenience and deliver the most meaningful and distinctive value proposition to them. Our customers can now travel and use their cards with a peace of mind, anytime and anywhere in the world knowing that their card is safe and secured.”
CPP Global Assistance Bangladesh Ltd. (CPP) is part of UK-based CPP Group Plc, with global operations. CPP Group started in 1981 with the launch of Card Protection in the United Kingdom and today has transformed into a global organization which is listed in AIM, London Stock Exchange.

BRAC Bank hosts pilot project of the first ever Toolkit for SME entrepreneurs
Dhaka, Monday, October 14, 2019: United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) has launched the first ever SME Toolkit Pilot Project with BRAC Bank Limited with a commitment to work together with all the stakeholders to ensure sustainability of SME businesses in Bangladesh.
Global Compact Network Bangladesh (GCNB) in partnership with BRAC Bank, UN Global Compact, UNICEF Bangladesh and ILO Bangladesh and DBL Group have observed ‘SME Sustainability Day’ on October 14, 2019 for the first time in Bangladesh. The event is aimed at promoting sustainable business through SME entrepreneurship development to gain access to local and international trade.
As part of the initiative, 60 promising Bangladeshi SME entrepreneurs were given extensive training on SME Toolkit under the tutelage of UNGC, GCNB and BRAC Bank. A number of field visits will also be organized to see the best practices of sustainable business in Bangladesh’s leading corporate entities. The visit will help the SME business owners learn from the best practices and replicate the same in their own business.
In Bangladesh, there are over six million SMEs. They account for 75% of the domestic economy, employ 30% of the workforce and contribute more than 20% to GDP. SMEs are undoubtedly playing a vital role in the country’s remarkable growth journey. UNGC marks SME Sustainability Day at a time when the Bangladesh government puts paramount importance on SMEs, which fuels the growth engine, as the country sets sight to become a middle income country graduating from least developed country.
Md. Abul Kalam Azad, Principal Coordinator, SDG Affairs, Prime Minister’s Office, the Government of Bangladesh; spoke at the inaugural ceremony as the Chief Guest. Mia Seppo, UN Resident Coordinator, Bangladesh; Kamran T. Rahman, President, Bangladesh Employers’ Federation; Lila Rashid, General Manager, SME & Special Programmes, Bangladesh Bank; Mari-lou, Manager, UN Global Compact Office, New York; Shahamin S. Zaman, ED, Global Compact Network Bangladesh and Selim R. F. Hussain, Managing Director and CEO, BRAC Bank; also spoke at the ceremony at a city hotel in Dhaka on October 14, 2019.
In the technical session, Belinda Chanda, Operational & Program Support Specialist at ILO Bangladesh made a presentation on ‘Better Work Bangladesh Programme’ and Simon Pickup, CSR Specialist at UNICEF Bangladesh made a deliberation on ‘Children’s Rights & Business’.
Commenting on the initiative, Selim R. F. Hussain, Managing Director & CEO, BRAC Bank, said: “This toolkit will enable our valued SME clients to link sustainability with decent work environment and help them set direction by placing their purpose, vision and strategy into the context of global sustainability. We believe this intensive training with UNGC module will help our SME entrepreneurs explore global markets more. We hope that this SME Toolkit will be localized soon in Bangladesh and be replicated in other countries in this region as well. BRAC Bank will continue to contribute to the real economy of Bangladesh by sustainable SME financing, creating much needed employments especially in semi urban and rural communities.”
Shahamin S. Zaman, Executive Director, Global Compact Network Bangladesh, said: "SMEs are the backbone of Bangladesh's industry. So, we need to build their capacity towards responsible and sustainable business."

Dhaka, Tuesday, 01 October 2019: CDC Group plc (“CDC”), the UK’s development finance institution, has today announced a US $30 million debt commitment to BRAC Bank Limited, which has largest market capitalization in the Bangladesh banking sector. BRAC Bank is sponsored by BRAC NGO, the largest NGO in the world, with a clear mandate for impact investment and financial inclusion.
CDC’s capital will help BRAC Bank to increase its lending programme to export-led and other businesses to accelerate their growth, advance employment and positively contribute to Bangladesh’s economy. Banking penetration and access to long term finance in Bangladesh remains low; this has restricted the growth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and subsequently stifled economic growth. CDC invests long term capital in financial institutions as a powerful mechanism through which to deliver impact at scale as its fund injection helps banks to increase their lending capabilities.
With 1.2 million customers and over 187 branches, 456 SME Unit Offices, 140 Agent Banking Outlets and 460 ATMs across Bangladesh, BRAC Bank services customers across the SME, Corporate and Retail segments in the banking industry. With B+ and Ba3 credit ratings from S&P and Moody’s respectively, BRAC Bank has the highest level of foreign investment (43.00%) in its stock of any company listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange.
In addition to its focus on SMEs and larger corporates, BRAC is promoting financial inclusion by developing its retail personal finance programme to help people buy homes, educate their children and access bank accounts.
BRAC Bank has also committed to women’s economic empowerment through its comprehensive women-centred product offering; the TARA proposition helps to bring women into the mainstream financial system, strengthening their role in local society. As part of this, gender equality has been integrated into the Bank’s workforce.
BRAC Bank Managing Director & CEO Selim R. F. Hussain commented:
“CDC’s commitment will help BRAC Bank expand credit facilities to export-oriented Bangladeshi businesses allowing them to explore further international markets. As Bangladesh graduates to a middle-income country, from a least developed country (LDC), it’s businesses must explore international market to boost GDP. With strong governance, client acquisition strategies and risk management processes in place, BRAC Bank is well placed to best utilize CDC’s debt facility to achieve exponential growth in coming years. We are proud to partner with renowned UK development finance institution to create opportunities for businesses in promising emerging markets, like Bangladesh.”
Srini Nagarajan, Managing Director and Head of Asia
“Committing our capital to BRAC Bank promotes financial inclusion, increases lending to SMEs and promotes women economic empowerment. All three areas are key impact strategies within CDC’s approach to investing to support economic prosperity. As a development finance institution, our ability to lend long term capital will play a transformational role in Bangladesh’s banking system and in local communities as access to finance increases.
BRAC Bank is a leading local bank, managed by a strong management team; we look forward to working with them to help accelerate their capabilities in Bangladesh.”
CDC has been responsibly investing Bangladesh since the early eighties and over the last 10 years, we have committed excess of $205 million to Bangladesh. It has been invested in the wider region of South Asia for over 30 years and has over 300 investee partners, valued at nearly US$2 billion. As part of its commitment to invest a further $1.7 billion in South Asia from 2018-2021, CDC offers flexible investment solutions including equity, corporate debt, project finance and fund investments.
Selim R. F. Hussain, Managing Director & CEO, BRAC Bank Limited, and Nick O’Donohoe, CEO, CDC Group, exchanged documents of the agreement in Dhaka, Bangladesh on October 1, 2019. Senior Officials of both the organizations were also present.

Dhaka, Sunday, September 22, 2019: The golden fibre of Bangladesh gets a boost as a refinancing scheme is to ensure reasonable price for the growers.
Jute has traditionally been a cash crop for the farmers. The sales revenue provides much needed cash stream after harvest and also throughout the year.
Under Bangladesh Bank’s refinance scheme, BRAC Bank Limited will provide easy term credit to the millers and traders who purchase raw jute from the farmers. Without financing, the millers and traders do not usually show much appetite to purchase just after the harvest. The refinancing with subsidized rates will help ensure reasonable price for the farmers.
This came as BRAC Bank Limited signed the Participation Agreement for the refinance scheme of Bangladesh Bank worth BDT 300 crore for jute sector.
Chowdhury Akhtar Asif, Deputy Managing Director, BRAC Bank Limited, exchanged documents with Md. Habibur Rahman, General Manager, Agricultural Credit Department, Bangladesh Bank.
Al-Amin, Head of Local Corporate; S M Saiful Islam, Head of Agriculture and MFI Finance; BRAC Bank Limited, were also present at the agreement signing ceremony held at Bangladesh Bank recently.
Commenting on the scheme, BRAC Bank’s Chowdhury Akhtar Asif said: “As a SME focused bank, agriculture financing is one of our priorities. With our vast network, we will take the refinancing facility to the very rural part of the country. It will benefit the farmers, inspire them to expand farming of the cash crop more and ultimately play a catalytic role in regaining the glory of the golden fibre. We are thankful to Bangladesh Bank to make us a part to this important refinancing scheme.”

BRAC Bank Organizes Heart Attack Awareness Programme for Employees
Three out of four individuals in Bangladesh run the risk of developing cardiac diseases. Doctors voice out their worries on cardiovascular diseases that have become a cause of increasing concern for the country. Poorly controlled blood pressure is a condition that, once diagnosed, need lifelong treatment - otherwise patients may end up with disability or even death.
The discussion on cardiac disease especially among the corporate executives comes to the fore one again as a female official of a bank has recently died of cardiac arrest at her workstation in Dhaka. It was a matter of great sorrow that, none of her colleagues could come and help due to lack of knowledge on giving basic first aid on heart attack (CPR treatment).
Against this backdrop, BRAC Bank arranged a healthcare awareness programme for its officials of North Gulshan Area in Dhaka. Prof. Dr. Md. Badrul Alam, former Dept. Head of Cardiology, Sir Salimullah Medical College, conducted the session demonstrating and explaining the effective and established ways to treat patients suffering from cardiac-related problems.
Commenting on the healthcare awareness session, Bilquis Jahan, Head of Human Resources said: “At BRAC Bank, we believe our employees are our biggest assets. We try to do whatever we can ensure a healthy and conducive working environment. Awareness is key to healthcare. Of late, cardiovascular disease has become prevalent in Bangladesh. So, awareness about healthy lifestyles and preparedness of the employees have become of paramount importance. Employee wellbeing has always been our key focus at BRAC Bank. I believe this session will help the employees respond appropriately to cardiac arrest incidents at the workplace.”
“As we aim to become as the best employer of choice, we are relentlessly working to ensure workplace safety and security of our employees”, she added.

Raising awareness on warding off the harms of thunder and lightning
There’s a saying that goes ‘when thunder roars, go indoors!’ Being outside during thunderstorm and lightning is not something to take lightly - ever. But how long do you keep staying indoors if you are residing in a thunderstorm-prone area? Some factors can put you at greater risk of getting struck by lightning or thunderbolt even if the odds of that happening is less than 1 in a million at a given year. Lightning most often strikes people who work outside or engage in outdoor activities.
Rajbari district is one of the most lightning-prone zones in Bangladesh. In an effort to minimize the death tolls caused from the brutal strikes of lightning in the area, BRAC Bank has come up with a unique environmental initiative – a palm and other tree plantation drive engaging the younger generation to fend off the harm of thunderstorms.
Lightning prefers to strike tall, pointed objects. When the discharge occurs, the bolt tends to follow the shortest, most conductible path to the earth's surface. Hence, objects that stick out above everything else are more likely to be struck. The tallest trees in a grove are likely points of discharge for lightning bolts.
Rajbari team of BRAC Bank organized a rally on environmental awareness and global warming after a discussion programme held at Rajbari Vocational College, where the bank officials talked about environmental conservation and stressed the importance of saving at a young age.
As a member of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values, BRAC Bank believes in the philosophy of people, planet and prosperity and works towards making the environment healthier and the planet more habitable for all. This initiative reiterates the Bank’s commitment to sustainability and exhibits its deep dedication to the people it works with and the community it operates in.

BRAC Bank opens channel for credit card donations
Credit cards, in general, are a blessing in many ways, providing a broad range of perks, benefits and rewards. They are a great resource for purchasing big-ticket items such as TV sets, travel packages, jewellery, etc. However, that plastic in your wallet isn’t just useful for purchases only; it can be put to a world of benevolent use too. BRAC Bank offers you a unique opportunity to support the cause you believe in for the creation of a stronger community - to stand by the people who are less fortunate in our society.
In an effort to mobilize more resources for humanitarian cause, BRAC Bank has partnered three renowned charitable organizations - Bidyanondo, an educational voluntary organization, Bangladesh Thalassemia Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to help and support thalassemia patients, and Child and Old Age Care, a non-profit organization committed to sheltering and caring for the unfortunate elders - to drive fundraising and engage current and prospective donors to make a positive and greater impact in the society.
Under this proposition, credit card holders will be able to make donations to charities through their online portals using BRAC Bank credit cards. BRAC Bank will contribute an additional 10% or TK. 1000 (whichever is lower) for every donation made.
This partnership is a testament to the Bank’s commitment towards a comprehensive approach to sustainable development that rests on three key pillars: engaged individual donors, a responsible and accountable private sector and proactive non-profit organizations that operate in the community. BRAC Bank is proud to be a partner to these charitable organizations working relentlessly for changing the society.
Commenting on the social intervention initiative, BRAC Bank MD and CEO Selim R. F. Hussain said: “As a values-based organization belonging to the larger BRAC family, corporate responsibility is embedded in our DNA. Being a member of the United Nations Global Compact, BRAC Bank is committed to support the Sustainable Development Goals. We have always felt the need to innovate for non-profit partner community as far as technology and services are concerned. Technology can help charities increase donations, find new donors and extend the reach of their campaigns at large. We are committed to the cause of helping non-profits take advantage of the enormous fundraising potential through this platform. With this initiative, we offer you to be a part of greater humanitarian cause and connect with a bigger story – one that supports the causes you are passionate about.”

Contributes lifesaving medicines to Dhaka Medical College Hospital
Dhaka, Wednesday, September 11, 2019: BRAC Bank Limited (BBL) has once again responded during the time of national need for assisting the dengue-affected people at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
In the backdrop of the severity of dengue outbreak this year, BBL has donated large quantity of lifesaving saline and injections worth 1 million taka to Dhaka Medical College Hospital so that the financially challenged patients can avail treatment.
The 2,600-bed hospital, the largest healthcare facility in the country, provides treatment at nominal expenses to the patients. Dengue patients in their thousands across the country got admitted to the hospital to avail or affordable treatment expenses under the care of Bangladesh’s most expert doctors.
Chowdhury Akhtar Asif, Deputy Managing Director and CRO, BRAC Bank, handed over the medicines to Brig. Gen. AKM Nasir Uddin, Director, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, at a ceremony at the hospital on September 11, 2019.
In the wake of the dengue outbreak, the Bank has taken up a number of initiatives in partnership with city corporation and different hospitals to help dengue patients. Earlier BBL donated 1 million taka to Dhaka Shishu Hospital to help poor patients and fogger machines to Chattogram City Corporation to assist in dengue prevention drive.
Commenting on the initiative, Chowdhury Akhtar Asif said: “This year dengue has reached alarming proportion. The disease has escalated to its peak during the rainy season claiming some valuable lives. As a responsible organization, we believe it our responsibility to act and stand by the people at this difficult time. We believe our small steps can go a long way to provide strength and evoke resilience and determination among the affected people and their families. This year the largest number of dengue patients got admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. That’s why we have decided to support Dhaka Medical College Hospital.”
“The social welfare initiative manifests our deep commitment to the people we work with and the community we operate in. We believe our social intervention initiatives will continue to change lives and give new hopes to the people of the country,” he added.

Contributes 1ml to Dhaka Shishu Hospital
Dhaka, Sunday, September 8, 2019: BRAC Bank Limited (BBL) has come forward for assisting the dengue-affected children at Dhaka Shishu Hospital.
Keeping the intensity of dengue outbreak this year, BBL has donated 1 million taka to Patients Welfare Fund of the specialized childcare hospital to help the financially challenged patients.
Managed by a trust, the 650-bed hospital provides entirely free-of-cost treatment including bed, medicines, food and surgery to 40% of its total patients. Patients in thousands across the country rely on this hospital for this free treatment service under the care of Bangladesh’s most expert pediatricians.
Chowdhury Akhtar Asif, Deputy Managing Director and CRO, BRAC Bank, handed over a cheque of 1 million taka to Prof. Syed Shafi Ahmed, Director, Dhaka Shishu Hospital, at a ceremony at the hospital on September 4, 2019. Ekram Kabir, Head of Communications; and Tahmina Zaman Khan, Head of Sustainable Finance Department, were also present.
In the wake of the dengue outbreak, the bank has undertaken a number of initiatives in partnership with city corporation and different hospitals to help dengue patients.
Commenting on the initiative, Chowdhury Akhtar Asif said: “This year dengue has reached alarming proportion. The disease has escalated to its peak during the rainy season claiming some valuable lives. As a responsible organization, we believe it our responsibility to act and stand by the people at this difficult time. We believe our small steps can go a long way to provide strength and evoke resilience and determination among the affected people and their families. The children are the most vulnerable to this disease. That’s why we have decided to help Dhaka Shishu Hospital.”
“The social welfare initiative manifests our deep commitment to the people we work with and the community we operate in. We believe our social intervention initiatives will continue to change lives and give new hopes to the people of the country,” he added.

Raise your hand if commuting to your office adds to the never-ending string of woes in your life. Rush hour is always a near-standstill in the major streets of Dhaka city - turns into a horrendous experience for the urban commuters once the temperature soars past 37 degrees Celsius. Even if you get lucky enough to squeeze into the tiniest space inside a public vehicle through all the dashing and pushing, you still have to deal with sitting next to people who unfortunately don't have a working knowledge of personal hygiene and the agonizing heat.
It’s, indeed, a commuting calamity!
According to Time.com, tedious work of commuting of over 10 miles a day can affect your health dramatically and lower enthusiasm. However, smart and caring employers find ways to ease commuting woes for their staff.
As an employee caring bank, BRAC Bank Limited (BBL) provides a subsidized shuttle service (pick-up and drop-off) for its employees (most of whom are women) at Head Office. The Bank currently has eight air-conditioned coasters in its fleet running on as many routes across the city from Sunday to Thursday. From Mirpur to Uttara, Mohammadpur, Jatrabari, Bonosree, Azimpur or Dhanmondi, wherever they are, the bus picks and drops the staff subduing the traffic woes during hectic morning and evening mad rush.
This pick-and-drop service makes sure that the officials come and leave office on time ensuring healthy work-life balance which is key to productivity and employee satisfaction.
Commenting on the facility, Bilquis Jahan, Head of Human Resources, said: “At BRAC Bank, we believe our employees are our biggest assets. We try to do whatever we can to lessen the pressure on our employees and ensure a conducive working environment. The key to our recent success has revolved around investing in people and adding more fringe benefits at par with the banking industry and beyond. We believe this employee transportation programme can go a long way to providing a better commuting experience for our employees, allowing them to concentrate on their work and contribute to the company’s vision of becoming the best bank in the country. Expansion plans of the service have already been discussed and likely to happen in the near future.”
“As we aim to emerge as the best employer of choice, we are relentlessly working to provide a fantastic work culture and workplace environment that attract talents and retains superior employees”, she added.
As part of employee welfare programme, the Bank also provides a hospitalization and outpatient medical consultation benefits, Medical Centre, Day Care, Canteen and Prayer Room facilities.
In addition, it has initiated a women’s forum, TARA, for capacity-building and career development of its female staff. BRAC Bank also runs training on gender diversity and sexual harassment awareness for all employees. Women employees are entitled to a six-month maternity leave with full benefits. All employees of the Bank avail mandatory annual leave with benefits as per policy.
