BRAC Bank safeguards against pandemic related uncertainties with large provisions and reports BDT 454 crore profit after tax in 2020 - BRAC Bank Ltd. (BBL) registered a Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of BDT 454 crore on a standalone basis and an NPAT of BDT 403 crore on a consolidated basis, i.e. with all its subsidiaries.
- BBL’s Earnings Per Share (EPS) stood at BDT 3.42 on a standalone basis and BDT 3.33 on a consolidated basis.
- The bank’s Board of Directors has recommended a 10 per cent cash dividend and 5 per cent stock dividend for formal adoption at the bank’s Annual General Meeting, which is scheduled to be held on May 27th, 2021.
- BBL’s customer deposits grew by 9 per cent YoY (year on year) while the CASA mix improved from 43 per cent to 55 per cent reflecting a successful deposit mobilization and interest rate management strategy.
- BBL was very cautious in growing its customer loan portfolio in 2020 with a 3 per cent YoY net growth. Customer lending started the year strongly but was then impacted by the pandemic. While SME lending grew well at 17 per cent YoY, the Bank was very selective in growing loans in corporate, commercial and retail banking.
- In 2020, the entire Bangladesh Banking Sector experienced a significant reduction in Net Interest Income from customer loans with the Central Bank imposing a 9 per cent lending rate cap with effect from April 2020. Despite this, BRAC Bank ended the year with a Net Interest Margin of 4.6 per cent.
- The bank’s Treasury Division performed very strongly and helped recover most of the interest income lost from subdued customer lending and lower lending rates. Investment income from government securities grew 53 per cent YoY.
- Despite incurring costs of BDT 24 Crore in COVID-19 related Health and Safety measures and Central Bank prescribed allowances for staff working during the pandemic, the bank managed to keep a tight rein on Operating Costs. BRAC Bank’s standalone Cost to Income Ratio (CIR) ended in 2020 at 58 per cent, while the Consolidated Entities’ CIR ratio stood at 71 per cent.
- In 2020, the Return on Equity (RoE) and Return on Assets (RoA) were :
- Standalone BRAC Bank: RoE - 10.58 per cent, RoA – 1.18 per cent
- Consolidated Entitiy: RoE - 9.9 per cent, RoA – 1.01 per cent
- The bank’s 2020 Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio dropped to 2.9 per cent, reflecting regulatory forbearance, while the NPL coverage ratio was enhanced to 171 per cent to build reserves against potential bad debt challenges arising out of the pandemic. It is one of the highest NPL coverage ratios in the Bangladesh banking industry.
- BBL reported a consolidated Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of 15.13 per cent for 2020 with 92 per cent Tier-1 Capital, the highest Tier-1 capital ratio in the industry. The Bank’s standalone CAR, at 14.55 per cent, is also well above the 12.5 per cent regulatory requirements.
- The net asset value (NAV) per share, as of December 2020, stood at BDT 36.63 on a consolidated basis and at BDT 35.41 on a standalone basis.

Jesmin Akhtar’s parents and two brothers live is a shanty in Dhaka’s Mirpur 10. There was a time she used to believe that she was not destined to go to school as her father could not afford her educational expenses. For her rickshawpuller father, it is a Herculean task to feed the family of five, let alone paying school fees of their children. To him, education is a luxury he cannot afford. Education is of the rich, he laments.
However, Jesmin’s destiny changed dramatically when she learnt about Mama Bari Trust. She did not understand how a Trust operates as an organization. What made her excited was to learn that the organization took full responsibility of tuition fee, books, three square meals and other expenses for continuing studies of the less fortunate children such as her.
She came to the residence of Mahboob Robbani and Ayasa Robbani who welcomed her warmly. Now Jesmin goes to Mirpur Girls’ Ideal School and wants to be a doctor.
Like Jesmin, about a hundred children have found renewed hope and aspiration for life at Mama Bari Trust which has changed the course of their life and showed path for a bright future.
Started in 2009 by philanthropists Mahboob Robbani and Ayasa Robbani with only seven children, the Trust today takes care of tuition fees, books, uniforms, food etc., of 97 children. Many of the students have successfully passed JSC, SSC and HSC levels and vocational examinations.
These children can now pursue their education at primary and high school levels. The Trust a social organization based in Mirpur, providing educational support to the less fortunate children living in the slum areas of Mirpur.
Touched by the couple’s selfless initiative, a handful of philanthropists and corporate organizations came forward to assist the Trust to add more children to the programme. Although the children do not stay at night at the house rented by the Trust, they eat there, prepare homework, finish their studies, take shower and do extracurricular activities at Mama Bari Trust. Some of the girls receive karate and taekwondo training. Some of them are very outstanding singers, artists and athletes. Initially the Trust had no name, later they took Mama Bari, a name fondly called by their relatives. Actually in Bangladesh Mama Bari is attributed to the home of maternal uncle where children enjoy their childhood life to the fullest.
BRAC Bank Limited has taken an extraordinary initiative to bring smiles to these 97 underprivileged children.
BRAC Bank has decided to provide financial assistance to the Trust for a year from BRAC Bank CSR Fund to support the children. The Bank’s Deputy Managing Director and CRO Chowdhury Akhtar Asif, Head of Communications Ekram Kabir and Head of Sustainable Finance Department Tahmina Zaman Khan recently visited the Trust’s premises in Mirpur 10 to see the daily life of the children and were overwhelmed at their extracurricular activities and of course the determination in their inner soul.
Commenting on the social intervention programme, 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 that have long-term impact on the people as well as on the society.”
“As a bank, we keep unwavering trust on the dream, aspiration and potential of the young people. We believe through this small financial contribution, we are helping realize potential of the children coming from financially challenged background. This initiative is an amazing example of changing the society,” he added.
জেসমিনের গল্প: এক সুবিধাবঞ্চিত শিশুর স্বপ্নের পথযাত্রা
মিরপুর ১০ নাম্বারে মা-বাবা আর দুই ভাইকে নিয়ে একটা ছোট্ট কুড়েঘরে থাকে জেসমিন আখতার। ছোটবেলা থেকেই মেয়েটা বাস্তবতা বুঝতে শিখেছে। সে জানে তার বাবা গরিব, তাই লেখাপড়া তার কপালে নেই। রিকশাচালক বাবার পক্ষে পাঁচ সদস্যের পরিবারের জন্য দু’মুঠো খাবার জোগাড় করাই কঠিন, লেখাপড়ার চিন্তাটা সেখানে তাই বিলাসিতা। জেসমিন ধরেই নিয়েছিল, লেখাপড়া শুধু বড়লোকদের জন্যই।
জেসমিনের ভাগ্যের এক নাটকীয় পরিবর্তন ঘটল। একদিন সে জানতে পারল মামা বাড়ি ট্রাস্ট সম্পর্কে। প্রথমে সে বুঝতে পারেনি এই প্রতিষ্ঠানটি কী কাজ করে। পরে জানতে পারল তার মতো সুবিধাবঞ্চিত বাচ্চাদের পড়াশুনার খরচ, বই কেনার খরচ, তিন বেলা খাওয়ানোসহ দেখভালের সব খরচ বহন করে মামা বাড়ি ট্রাস্ট। এ তো পুরো মামা বাড়ির আবদার! সব জেনেও যেন জেসমিনের বিশ্বাস হতে চায় না। এত ভালো জায়গাও দুনিয়ায় আছে? জেসমিনের মনে প্রশ্ন জাগে।
এই ট্রাস্টের উদ্যোক্তা সমাজসেবক মাহবুব রাব্বানী ও আয়েশা রাব্বানী দম্পতি। তারা মামা বাড়ি ট্রাস্টের পরিবারে জেসমিনকে স্বাদরে গ্রহণ করেছিলেন। তাই স্বপ্নটাকে ডানা মেলে উড়ে দেওয়ার সুযোগ নিতে জেসমিন লেখাপড়া শুরু করেছে। সে এখন মিরপুর গার্লস আইডিয়াল স্কুলের ছাত্রী।
মামা বাড়ি ট্রাস্টের সহযোগিতায় জেসমিনের মতো এমন প্রায় ১০০ জন শিশু জীবনে খুঁজে পেয়েছে নতুন আশার আলো, পেয়েছে এগিয়ে যাওয়ার প্রত্যয়, স্বপ্ন দেখার সাহস। এই আশার আলো যেন তাদের উজ্জ্বল ভবিষ্যতের দিকে হাতছানি দিয়ে ডাকছে।
২০০৯ সালে মাত্র সাতজন সুবিধাবঞ্চিত শিশু নিয়ে মাহবুব রাব্বানী ও আয়েশা রাব্বানী এই ট্রাস্টের কার্যক্রম শুরু করেন। বর্তমানে এই ট্রাস্টটি প্রায় ৯৭ জন শিশুর লেখাপড়ার খরচ, স্কুল ইউনিফর্ম, খাবারসহ তাদের সব খরচ বহন করছে। এখন পর্যন্ত ট্রাস্টের অনেক ছাত্র-ছাত্রী সফলতার সাথে এসএসসি, এইচএসসি ও কারিগরি পরিক্ষায় পাস করেছে ।
সুবিধাবঞ্চিত এই শিশুরা এখন প্রাইমারি ও উচ্চ মাধ্যমিক পর্যায়ের পড়াশুনা করতে পারছে। মামাবাড়ি ট্রাস্টটি মিরপুর-ভিত্তিক একটি সামাজিক প্রতিষ্ঠান, যারা মূলত মিরপুরের বস্তি এলাকার সুবিধাবঞ্চিত শিশুদের নিয়ে কাজ করছে। শিক্ষার আলোয় শিশুদের আলোকিত করাই তাদের মূল লক্ষ্য।
রাব্বানী দম্পতিদের এই নিঃস্বার্থ উদ্যোগ বেশ সাড়া ফেলেছে। তাই বিভিন্ন সময়ে সহযোগিতার হাত প্রসারিত করেছে দেশের অনেক সমাজসেবক ও কর্পোরেট প্রতিষ্ঠান। তারা মামাবাড়ি ট্রাস্টকে সহযোগিতা করতে চেয়েছে, যেন আরও অনেক সুবিধাবঞ্চিত শিশু এখানে যুক্ত হতে পারে।
শিশুরা রাতে ট্রাস্টের নির্ধারিত বাড়িতে থাকে না, তবে বাকিটা সময় তাদের ওখানেই কাটে। ছেলেমেয়েরা এখানে খাওয়া দাওয়া করে, হোমওয়ার্ক শেষ করে, গোসল করে, এমনকি এক্সট্রা কারিকুলার বিভিন্ন কাজে অংশ নেয়। অবাক করা বিষয় হচ্ছে ,কিছু মেয়ে শিশুরা এখানে কারাতে এবং তায়কান্দো প্রশিক্ষণও নিচ্ছে। এদের মধ্যে কেউ কেউ খুব সুন্দর গান গায়, কেউ খুব সুন্দর ছবি আকে, আবার কেউ খেলাধুলায় দুর্দান্ত। প্রাথমিকভাবে এই ট্রাস্টের কোনো নাম ছিল না। পরবর্তীতে মামাবাড়ি নামটা ঠিক করা হয়, বাচ্চাদের আত্মীয় স্বজনরা ট্রাস্টকে এই নামে ডাকতেই পছন্দ করে। বাংলাদেশে মামা বাড়ি মানে মায়ের ভাইয়ের বাড়ি, আর যেখানে শিশুরা খুব আনন্দে, যত্নে দিন কাটায়।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক লিমিটেড এই ৯৭ জন সুবিধাবঞ্চিত বাচ্চার মুখে হাসি ফোটানোর জন্য একটি অনন্য উদ্যোগ নিয়েছে। সুবিধাবঞ্চিত এই ৯৭ জন বাচ্চাকে সাহায্য করার জন্য ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এক বছর তাদের সিএসআর ফান্ড থেকে ট্রাস্টকে আর্থিক সুবিধা দেয়ার সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছে। ডেপুটি ব্যবস্থাপনা পরিচালক ও সিআরও চৌধুরী আখতার আসিফ, কমিউনিকেশনস বিভাগের প্রধান ইকরাম কবীর, সাসটেইনেবল ফিন্যান্স বিভাগের প্রধান তাহমিনা জামান খান সম্প্রতি মিরপুর ১০ নাম্বারের মামাবাড়ি ট্রাস্ট পরিদর্শন করেন। তাঁরা বাচ্চাদের প্রতিদিনের ব্যস্ততা, সময় কাটানো, আনন্দ, এক্সট্রাকারিকুলার কাজ সম্পর্কে জানতে পারেন। সবকিছু দেখে তাঁদের মুগ্ধতার রেশ যেন কাটতে চায় না।
সামাজিক এই উদ্যোগ নিয়ে কথা বলতে গিয়ে চৌধুরী আখতার আসিফ বলেন, ‘বৃহৎ ব্র্যাক পরিবারের অংশ হিসাবে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ডিএনএ’তে কর্পোরেট দায়িত্ব যুক্ত আছে। আমরা আজ মামাবাড়ি ট্রাস্টকে যে সহযোগিতা করছি, তা ভবিষ্যতে সুন্দর সমাজ নির্মাণে বিনিয়োগ হিসাবে কাজ করবে। ইউনাইটেড নেশনস গ্লোবাল কমপ্যাক্টের সদস্য হিসেবে এবং সাসটেইনেবল ডেভেলপমেন্ট গোল পুরণের প্রতিজ্ঞা থেকে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক সব সময় সিএসআর প্রকল্পগুলোকে বাড়তি গুরুত্ব দেয়। যার ফলাফল সুদূরপ্রসারী।’
‘একটি ব্যাংক হিসেবে আমরা তারুণ্যের স্বপ্ন, আশা ও সম্ভাবনার উপর আস্থা রাখি। আমরা বিশ্বাস করি আমাদের এই ছোট অবদানের মাধ্যমে সুযোগবঞ্চিত শিশুরা সামনের দিকে এগিয়ে যাবে, দেশের জন্য তারা আর বোঝা থাকবে না, হবে সম্পদ।’ তিনি আরো বলেন, ‘সমাজকে বদলে দেয়ার লক্ষ্যে মামাবাড়ি ট্রাস্টের মতো আরও অনেকেই এমন উদ্যোগ নিবেন বলে আমরা আশা করি।’

Dhaka, Monday, 26 August 2019: Dr. Ahsan H. Mansur, Independent Director of the BRAC Bank Limited (BBL) Board and an eminent economist of the country, has been elected as the new Chairperson of BBL’s Board. He is succeeding Sir Fazle Hasan Abed KCMG, the Founder Chairperson of BBL. Sir Fazle is retiring from his role as both Chairperson and Member of the Bank’s Board of Directors.
This transition is effective from 26 August 2019.
This is part of Sir Fazle’s long-established practice of building strong succession at BBL. Sir Fazle is the Founder Chairperson of BBL; he led the Board as the Chairperson from 2001 to 2008 and then rejoined the Board as Chairperson in February 2013. With Sir Fazle at the helms, BBL has proven itself to be one of the most successful financial institutions in Bangladesh, ensuring inclusion of the unbanked population in the financial system. In the bank’s formative stage, keen on visualising the future, he led the BBL to become the most modern, customer-friendly and technologically advanced bank in Bangladesh.
“I have been planning for my succession at BRAC for many years. Building strong leadership and gradually transitioning from my roles as the Chairperson of BRAC-affiliated entities are part of that process. Now, at the age of 83, I feel the time is right for me to step down as the Chairman of BRAC Bank’s Board of Directors and elect a new Chair who is well-versed in banking and the administration of financial institutions,” Sir Fazle said.
Dr. Ahsan H. Mansur was inducted as an Independent Director to the Board of BBL in May 2017. Dr. Mansur started his career as a Lecturer in Dhaka University’s Department of Economics in 1976. Following that, he had a long and distinguished career at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He joined the IMF in 1981 and thereafter completed his PhD in Economics (on general equilibrium analysis) from the University of Western Ontario, Canada in 1982. Working in Middle Eastern, Asian, African and Central American countries, he also served as the IMF Senior Resident Representative to Pakistan during 1998-2001 and as the Fiscal Advisor to the Minister of Finance, Government of Bangladesh (1989-91). After retiring from the IMF, Dr. Mansur established the Policy Research Institute of Bangladesh as its Founder Director and Executive Director.
“BRAC Bank was founded to create greater financial access for the “missing middle” – the small and medium entrepreneurs of Bangladesh who needed institutional financing to grow and prosper. Encouraging entrepreneurship is key to sustaining Bangladesh’s flourishing economic growth. I am confident that, under the able guidance of Dr. Mansur, BRAC Bank will remain true to its vision and continue to generate growth opportunities for the promising entrepreneurs of the country. This will, in turn, create an opportunity for BRAC Bank to grow and flourish particularly if the synergy between BRAC Bank and its subsidiary bKash is fully leveraged,” Sir Fazle added.
Under the guidance of the new Board Chair, BBL will continue to finance small enterprises and to serve its valued customers with superior products and services in order to meet their banking needs in full.
Commenting his new role at BBL, Dr. Mansur said: “Sir Fazle is an iconic figure. No one can substitute him for his proven capacity for institution-building. I am extremely grateful to him and the Board for showing confidence in me for leading the institution into the future. I believe BRAC Bank has already established itself as one of the leading banks and strives to be the best and become a Bank of international standard. In this journey, which is the vision shared by Sir Abed, the SME sector will always remain as the focus of BRAC Bank. I look forward to receive support from BRAC Bank Board, the Management and the staff in fulfilling Sir Fazle’s dream to make the first international standard Bank of Bangladesh origin.”
ড. আহসান এইচ. মানসুর ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর নতুন চেয়ারম্যান নির্বাচিত
স্যার ফজলে হাসান আবেদ অবসর নিয়েছেন
ঢাকা, সোমবার, ২৬ আগস্ট ২০১৯: ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক লিমিটেড এর স্বতন্ত্র পরিচালক ও দেশের স্বনামধন্য অর্থনীতিবিদ ড. আহসান এইচ. মানসুর ব্যাংকটির পরিচালনা পর্ষদের নতুন চেয়ারম্যান নির্বাচিত হয়েছেন।
তিনি ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর প্রতিষ্ঠাতা চেয়ারপারসন স্যার ফজলে হাসান আবেদ, কেসিএমজি এর স্থলাভিষিক্ত হচ্ছেন। স্যার ফজলে ব্যাংকটির চেয়ারপারসন ও পরিচালনা পর্ষদের দায়িত্ব থেকে থেকে অবসর নেয়ার সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছেন।
পরিচালনা পর্ষদের এই পরিবর্তন ২৬ আগস্ট ২০১৯ থেকে কার্যকর হবে।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এ যথাযোগ্য পরবর্তী নেতৃত্ব নির্ধারণের পরিকল্পনার অংশ হিসেবে স্যার ফজলে হাসান আবেদ এই সিদ্ধান্ত গ্রহণ নিয়েছেন। তিনি ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর প্রতিষ্ঠাতা চেয়ারপারসন। তিনি ২০০১ সাল থেকে ২০০৮ সাল পর্যন্ত ব্যাংকটির চেয়ারপারসনের দায়িত্ব পালন করেন। পরবর্তীতে ২০১৩ সালে পুনরায় পরিচালনা পর্ষদের চেয়ারপারসন হিসেবে দায়িত্ব নেন।
স্যার ফজলে এর নেতৃত্বে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ব্যাংকিং খাতে দেশের অন্যতম সেরা ব্যাংক হিসেবে স্থান করে নিয়েছে। ব্যাংকিং সেবার বাইরে থাকা সাধারণ মানুষকে অর্থনীতির মূলধারায় নিয়ে আসার ক্ষেত্রে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক লক্ষ্যণীয় অবদান রেখেছে। তিনি দ্রুত পরিবর্তনশীল ব্যাংকিং খাতে টিকে থাকতে ভবিষ্যতমুখি পরিকল্পনার ওপর জোর দিয়েছেন। তাঁর নেতৃত্বে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক সর্বাধুনিক, গ্রাহক-বান্ধব ও উন্নত প্রযুক্তিনির্ভর ব্যাংক হিসেবে প্রতিষ্ঠিত হয়েছে।
স্যার ফজলে বলেন, “অনেক বছর যাবৎ আমি ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকে আমার পরবর্তী নেতৃত্ব নিয়ে অনেক ভেবেছি এবং সেই অনুযায়ী প্রস্তুতি নিয়েছি। নতুন নেতৃত্ব তৈরি করা এবং পর্যায়ক্রমে ব্র্যাক এর বিভিন্ন প্রতিষ্ঠানের দায়িত্ব যোগ্য নেতৃত্বের কাছে হস্তান্তর করা এই প্রক্রিয়ার অংশ। এখন আমার বয়স ৮৩ বছর। আমি মনে করি, এখনই ব্যাংকটির চেয়ারপারসনের দায়িত্ব থেকে অবসর নেয়ার উপযুক্ত সময়। এবং ব্যাংকিং ও ফাইন্যান্সিয়াল সেক্টরে অভিজ্ঞ একজনকে চেয়ারপারসনের দায়িত্ব অর্পণ করা উচিত।”
ড. আহসান এইচ. মানসুর ২০১৭ সালে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক’এ স্বতন্ত্র পরিচালক হিসেবে পরিচালনা পর্ষদে যোগ দেন। তিনি ১৯৭৬ সালে ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের অর্থনীতি বিভাগের প্রভাষক হিসেবে কর্মজীবন শুরু করেন। ১৯৮১ সালে তিনি আন্তর্জাতিক অর্থ তহবিলে (আইএমএফ) এ যোগদান করেন। পরবর্তীতে আইএমএফ এ দীর্ঘ কর্মজীবনে অনেক গুরুত্বপূর্ণ পদে দায়িত্ব পালন করেন। ১৯৮২ সালে কানাডার ইউনিভার্সিটি অব ওয়েস্টার্ন ওন্টারিও থেকে অর্থনীতিতে (জেনারেল ইক্যুলিব্রিয়াম) পিএইচডি ডিগ্রী অর্জন করেন। তাঁর বর্ণিল কর্মজীবনে তিনি আইএমএফ এর কমকতা হিসেবে মধ্যপ্রাচ্য, এশিয়া, আফ্রিকা ও সেন্ট্রাল আফ্রিকার বিভিন্ন দেশে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ পদে দায়িত্ব পালন করেছেন। ড. মানসুর ১৯৯৮ থেকে ২০০১ সাল পর্যন্ত পাকিস্তানে আইএমএফ এর রেসিডেন্ট রিপ্রেজেন্টেটিভ হিসেবে দায়িত্ব পালন করেছেন। এছাড়া ১৯৮৯ সাল থেকে ১৯৯১ সাল পর্যন্ত বাংলাদেশের অর্থমন্ত্রীর ফিসক্যাল (রাজস্ব) উপদেষ্টা ছিলেন।
নতুন পর্ষদ চেয়ারম্যান নির্বাচন সম্পর্কে স্যার ফজলে বলেন, “‘মিসিং মিডল’ জনগোষ্ঠীকে আর্থিক সেবার আওতায় নিয়ে আসার লক্ষ্যে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক প্রতিষ্ঠিত হয়। এই ক্ষুদ্র ও মাঝারি উদ্যোক্তাদের অগ্রসরের জন্য প্রাতিষ্ঠানিক অর্থায়ন প্রয়োজন। দেশের অর্থনৈতিক প্রবৃদ্ধির গতি বজায় রাখার জন্য উদ্যোক্তাদের উৎসাহিত করতে হবে। আমি বিশ্বাস করি ড. মানসুরের নেতৃত্বে ব্যাংকের ভিশনের আলোকে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এই সম্ভাবনাময় উদ্যোক্তাদের জন্য অর্থনৈতিক সুযোগ সৃষ্টি ও প্রসার অব্যাহত রাখবে।”
তিনি আরও বলেন, “এটি ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর জন্যও সুযোগ সৃষ্টি করতে বিশেষত, ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এবং এর সাবসিডিয়ারি, বিকাশ লিমিটেড, তাদের নিজ নিজ সুবিধা একসাথে পুরোপুরি কাজে লাগিয়ে ব্যবসার প্রসার অনেক ব্যাপক করতে পারে।”
নতুন পর্ষদ চেয়ারম্যানের দিকনির্দেশনায় ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ক্ষুদ্র উদ্যোক্তাদের অর্থায়ন আরও বেগবান হবে এবং গ্রাহকদের সম্পূর্ণ ব্যাংকিং চাহিদা পূরণে উৎকর্ষ সেবা চালু করা অব্যাহত রাখবে।
নতুন দায়িত্ব গ্রহণ সম্পর্কে ড. আহসান এইচ. মানসুর বলেন, “স্যার ফজলে দেশের একজন অনন্য সাধারণ ব্যক্তিত্ব। তাঁর পদ গ্রহণ করা কারও পক্ষেই সম্ভব নয়। প্রতিষ্ঠান নির্মাণে তাঁর রয়েছে অসাধারণ ও পরিক্ষীত দক্ষতা। আমার ওপর আস্থা রেখে আগামী দিনে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংককে সামনে এগিয়ে নেবার দায়িত্ব আমাকে অর্পণ করায় আমি স্যার ফজলে এবং পর্ষদের প্রতি কৃতজ্ঞতা প্রকাশ করছি। আমি জানি ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ইতোমধ্যেই বাংলাদেশের অন্যতম শীর্ষ ব্যাংক হিসেবে নিজেকে প্রতিষ্ঠিত করেছে। এবং বাংলাদেশের সেরা ও আন্তর্জাতিক মানের ব্যাংকে পরিণত হবার লক্ষ্য নিয়ে এগিয়ে যাচ্ছে। স্যার ফজলে’র ভিশন অনুযায়ী ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক আগামী দিনেও এসএমই খাতে অগ্রাধিকার অব্যাহত রাখবে। আমি আশা করি ব্র্যাক ব্যাংককে বাংলাদেশের প্রথম আন্তর্জাতিক মানের ব্যাংকে পরিণত করার স্যার ফজলে’র স্বপ্ন বাস্তবায়নে আমি ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের পর্ষদ, ব্যবস্থাপনা কমিটি ও সর্বস্তরের কর্মকর্তাদের সহযোগিতা পাব।”


Cattle Shield Programme to boost livestock industry
Dhaka, Wednesday, August 28, 2019: BRAC Bank Limited and Green Delta Insurance Company Limited have jointly launched Bangladesh’s first ever livestock insurance coverage facility for the cattle farmers.
The initiative is supported by BFP-B (Business Finance for the Poor in Bangladesh) Challenge Fund, a project of DFID, and managed by NATHAN Associates, London.
The unique scheme will immensely benefit the cattle farmers as it aims to mitigate the risk of livestock loss caused from accidental death, diseases, partial disability or even death during calving.
The new facility is a part of the two organizations’ continued commitment to bring in innovative products for their valued customers. Green Delta introduces a unique system of NFC enabled collar tag for cattle identification and monitoring that will facilitate smooth claim settlement.

This innovative facility with help of technology bears testimony to the bank’s commitment to inclusive banking especially for small and marginal farmers.
“This insurance coverage will boost country’s cattle rearing sector and encourage more people to start the farming commercially in bigger scale. It is to be an important tool for poverty alleviation and job creation, particularly in the rural areas of Bangladesh as it safeguards the interest of the farmers,” he added.
Farzanah Chowdhury, Managing Director & CEO, Green Delta Insurance Company Limited, said, “Green Delta Insurance Company is excited to roll out the country’s first ever insurance coverage facility for the cattle farmers.

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.

As part of its continuous effort to ensure workplace safety and security for the employees, BRAC Bank has conducted a fire safety and emergency evacuation drill at its Head Office in Dhaka on August 29, 2019 in association with the Fire Service and Civil Defence Department.
The officials of Fire Service trained the employees about use of fire extinguishing system and first aid and shared knowledge about the best practices in firefighting and safety procedure. As a values-based organization, BRAC Bank always prioritizes the wellbeing of its employees and regularly arranges fire drill exercises in its offices as a part of its commitment to workplace safety and security.
Commenting on the drill, Bilquis Jahan, Head of Human Resources, said: “At BRAC Bank, we believe our employees are our biggest assets. Their safety and security are our top priority. We always do whatever necessary to ensure safety and security for our employees at the workplace. We believe such drills can save lives during crisis.

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.”

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 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.

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.”

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.

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."

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 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.
Commenting on the occasion, BRAC Bank’s Managing Director and 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. As a member of United Nations Global Compact and being committed to Sustainable Development Goals, BRAC Bank always gives importance to the CSR programmes that have long-term impact on the people as well as on the society.”
“As a bank, we keep unwavering trust on the dream, aspiration and potential of the young people. We aim to create social awareness, acceptance and inclusion on autism. We believe through this painting programme, we can inspire creativity and help realize full potential of the differently abled children. I am truly amazed to see the level of painting skills of the children. This initiative is an amazing example of inspiring the children and changing the society,” he added.
The SWAC was founded in 2000 by a group of very enthusiastic and devoted parents of individuals with autism. The aim of SWAC is educating and training individuals with autism to develop to their fullest potential and improve the quality of their lives. As the cases of autism among the children in Bangla is one the rise, SWAC has been undertaking a number of initiative for awareness on autism and expanding its operations.

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.”

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।’

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.

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.

ঢাকা, শনিবার, ১৪ ডিসেম্বর ২০১৯: অ্যান্টি-মানি লন্ডারিং (এএমএল) ও ‘নো ইওর কাস্টমার’ (কেওয়াইসি) বিষয়ে কম©কতা©দের জানানো এবং কঠোরভাবে নীতি মেনে চলার প্রতিশ্রুতি পুনর্ব্যক্ত করেছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক লিমিটেড।

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.

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 10th 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.

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.

“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.

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।


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 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।

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।
কোভিড-১৯ এর প্রাদুর্ভাবে বিশ্বব্যাপী জরুরী অবস্থা এবং অর্থনৈতিক মন্দা সৃষ্টি হয়েছে। এর বিস্তার বিশ্বজুড়ে সামাজিক ও ব্যবসায়িক অগ্রযাত্রাকে ব্যাপকভাবে ব্যাহত করেছে। এর ফলে সবচাইতে ভোগান্তির মধ্যে পড়েছে দেশের স্টার্টআপ এবং ক্ষুদ্র ও মাঝারি ব্যবসাগুলো। এক ঘন্টার এই ওয়েবিনারটিতে কোভিড-১৯ এর বর্তমান পরিস্থিতি নিয়ে ‘তারা’ গ্রাহকদের সাথে বিশদ আলোচনা করা হয়। এর পাশাপাশি দুর্যোগকালীন এ সময়ে অভ্যন্তরীণ এবং বাহ্যিক রিসোর্সের উপর করোনার প্রভাব, মহামারীর বিভিন্ন ধাপ এবং ক্ষুদ্র ও মাঝারি ব্যাবসায়ীরা কিভাবে এই কোভিড-১৯ পরিস্থিতি আরও ভালভাবে মোকাবেলা করতে পারবেন - সে ব্যাপারেও পরামর্শ দেয়া হয়। প্রতিটি উপার্জিত তহবিল থেকে একটি ছোট সুরক্ষা নেট ভাতা চালু করার পরামর্শও দেয়া হয় উদ্যোক্তাদের। এতে করে বাজেট নিয়ে প্রতিক‚লতা থাকা সত্তে¡ও ব্যবসা টিকিয়ে রাখার সামর্থ্য অর্জন করতে পারেন ক্ষুদ্র ও মাঝারি নারী ব্যবসায়ীরা। ওয়েবিনারে অংশগ্রহণকারী নারী উদ্যোক্তাদের পরামর্শের পাশাপাশি কৌশলগত বিভিন্ন তথ্য ও উপাত্ত দেয়া হয় যা দুর্যোগকালীন সময়ে তাদের ব্যবসায়িক পরিচালন ব্যবস্থা আরও কার্যকরী করবে।
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।


This is part of the bank’s efforts to protect the country’s brave frontline health workers fighting the Covid-19 pandemic, a statement says.
The sets include medical safety gears e.g. N95 masks, goggles, shoe covers (sets), hand gloves and head shields each, imported from China with the assistance of MBM Group. The PPE will be used in the intensive care unit of BSMMU to treat the coronavirus patients. The items were handed over to BSMMU authority on 4 May.
Speaking during the presentation, Bilquis Jahan, BRAC Bank’s Head of HR, said, “BRAC Bank values the priceless role of the country’s frontline fighters in battling the rapidly evolving coronavirus. They are our superheroes and we deemed it important to equip them with high quality PPE. This is one of our many initiatives aimed at helping the country combat this global pandemic.”
Receiving the items, Prof. Dr. Kanak Kanti Barua, Vice Chancellor of BSMMU, expressed the Hospital’s appreciation to BRAC Bank for the support. Kamran Sadiq, Director of MBM Group, was also present during the handover.

ঢাকা, মঙ্গলবার, ৫ মে ২০২০: বঙ্গবন্ধু শেখ মুজিব মেডিকেল বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে (বিএসএমএমইউ) ৬,০০০ সেট সিই প্রত্যয়িত ব্যক্তিগত সুরক্ষা সরঞ্জাম (পিপিই) দিয়েছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। কোভিড-১৯ মোকাবেলায় দেশের চিকিৎসক ও স্বাস্থ্যকর্মীদের সুরক্ষার প্রচেষ্টার অংশ হিসেবে এই সরঞ্জাম দেয়া হয়েছে বলে একটি বিবৃতিতে বলা হয়।
পিপিই সেটগুলিতে বডিস্যুট ছাড়াও রয়েছে চীন থেকে সরাসরি আমদানিকৃত এন-৯৫ মাস্ক, গগলস, জুতার কভার (সেট), হ্যান্ড গ্লভস এবং হেড শিল্ড রয়েছে। মানসম্মত এই সরঞ্জামগুলি আমদানি করতে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংককে সহায়তা দিয়েছে এমবিএম গ্রুপ। এগুলো বিএসএমএমইউর ইনটেনসিভ কেয়ার ইউনিটে করোনভাইরাস রোগীদের চিকিৎসার জন্য ব্যবহার করা হবে। গত সোমবার, ৪ মে ২০২০, বিএসএমএমইউ কর্তৃপক্ষের কাছে পিপিই সেটগুলো হস্তান্তর করে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক।
এ প্রসঙ্গে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের মানবসম্পদ বিভাগ প্রধান, বিলকিস জাহান বলেন, “ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক করোনাভাইরাসএর সংক্রমণ প্রতিরোধে দেশের চিকিৎসক ও স্বাস্থ্যকর্মীদের অগ্রণী ভূমিকার প্রতি শ্রদ্ধাশীল। তারা আমাদের সুপারহিরো; আর তাই উচ্চ মানের পিপিই দিয়ে তাদের সুরক্ষা নিশ্চিত করতে সহায়তা করা গুরুত্বপূর্ণ বলে আমরা মনে করেছি। এটি দেশকে মহামারী থেকে রক্ষা করতে আমাদের অনেকগুলো উদ্যোগের একটি”।
পিপিই গ্রহণকালে বিএসএমএমইউ’র উপাচার্য প্রফেসর ডঃ কনক কান্তি বড়ুয়া এই সহায়তার জন্য ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের প্রশংসা ব্যক্ত করেন। এমবিএম গ্রুপের পরিচালক কামরান সাদিকও এসময় উপস্থিত ছিলেন। এর আগে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক প্রধানমন্ত্রীর ত্রাণ তহবিলে ৫ কোটি টাকা এবং তাদের কর্মীরা তাদের এপ্রিল বেতন থেকে ব্র্যাকের জরুরি খাদ্য সহায়তা তহবিলে ১.৭৩ কোটি টাকা অবদান রেখেছে। এছাড়াও করোনা মোকাবেলায় ব্যাংকের গ্রাহকরা যেন ঘরে থেকে ব্যাংকিং পরিষেবা পেতে পারেন সে ক্ষেত্রেও ব্যাংকটি অগ্রণী ভূমিকা পালন করেছে।


Through this effort, Bidyanondo Foundation, a non-profit social welfare organization, will provide food to around 10,500 families in remote locations across the country, said a press statement Wednesday. A family of five will get food supply for at least 10 days through this initiative, it said.
As COVID-19 continues to impact food access, Bidyanondo Foundation, supported by Bangladesh’s defense force in distribution, has succeeded to provide food supply to communities across the country who had been languishing due to lack of food since nation-wide shut down. Their food packages include basic food items such as rice, pulses, gram, oil, flour etc.
Selim R. F. Hussain, the Managing Director and CEO of the Bank said, “We are greatly inspired by the commendable work of Bidyanondo Foundation, especially under the current scenario. People across all walks of life deserve support during this difficult time. That is why BRAC Bank is proud to join hands with organizations like Bidyanondo Foundation. With the support of such community partners, we will get through this together.”
Expressing his gratitude, Bidyanondo Foundation founder and Chairman Kishor Kumar Das said, “This gives a message of hope that goes beyond the financial contribution made. 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”.
In a previous effort, BRAC Bank employees raised a fund from their April salary to support nearly 11,500 families with 2 weeks food supply. The money was gifted to BRAC’s emergency food assistance fund.
BRAC Bank is continuing to monitor the status of COVID-19 and will make necessary updates to its response efforts as needed.

Dhaka, Monday, 11 May 2020: As the nation-wide COVID-19 shutdown continues, BRAC Bank held its earning disclosure for financial year 2019 through an online virtual platform. Local and foreign investment analysts, media professionals and capital market experts were all connected to the event digitally.
BRAC Bank’s Managing Director and CEO, Selim R. F. Hussain, and Members of the Senior Management Team presented the financial results and also spoke about the bank’s strategy at the event held on 30 April 2020, said a press release.
Earlier in a price sensitive information, the bank had declared a dividend of 15 per cent for 2019 in the form of 7.5 per cent cash and 7.5 per cent stock.
Major highlights of the disclosure include:
Despite environmental challenges, the Bank generated a Return on Equity (ROE) of 16.3 per cent and a Return on Asset (RoA) of 1.65%, both ratios are among the highest in the Bangladesh banking sector. In 2019, the bank’s Non-Performing Loan ratio increased to 4 per cent in 2019 compared to 3.1 per cent in 2018 – mainly on account of stressed Corporate Customer Loans. However, the Bank’s Bad Debt provision coverage remains high, standing at an enviable 97 per cent in 2019.

২০১৯ অর্থবছরের আয়ের প্রতিবেদন অনলাইন পরিবেশন করেছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের (একক) ৫৬৫ কোটি টাকার নিট মুনাফা ঘোষণা, বার্ষিক প্রবৃদ্ধি ১.৮ শতাংশ ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ও সহযোগীদের একত্রে ৪৫৮ কোটি টাকার নিট মুনাফা ঘোষণা, বার্ষিক হ্রাস ১৯ শতাংশ
ঢাকা, সোমবার, ১১ মে ২০২০: দেশজুড়ে কোভিড-১৯ ছড়িয়ে পড়ায় লকডাউনের পরিস্থিতিতে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক তাদের ২০১৯ সালের আয়ের প্রতিবেদন অনলাইনে পরিবেশন করেছে। স্থানীয় ও বিদেশি বিনিয়োগ বিশ্লেষক, গণমাধ্যমকর্মী ও শেয়ার বাজার বিশেষজ্ঞসহ সবাই অনলাইনে এই প্রতিবেদন প্রকাশ অনুষ্ঠানে যুক্ত ছিলেন। গত ৩০ এপ্রিল আয়োজিত ভার্চুয়াল অনুষ্ঠানে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ব্যবস্থাপনা পরিচালক (এমডি) ও প্রধান নির্বাহী কর্মকর্তা (সিইও) সেলিম রেজা ফরহাদ হোসেন এবং সিনিয়র ব্যবস্থাপনা টিমের সদস্যরা আর্থিক প্রতিবেদন তুলে ধরেন।
এর আগে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ২০১৯ সালের জন্য ১৫ শতাংশ লভ্যাংশ ঘোষণা করে। এর মধ্যে ৭.৫% নগদ ও ৭.৫% স্টক লভ্যাংশ ঘোষণা করা হয়।
প্রতিবেদনের উল্লেখযোগ্য অংশঃ
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।


The bank, in a continuation of stated its strategy to support customers during the government-declared general holidays, said that it will waive the standard fee applied if DPS customers miss their installments during the shut-down period – i.e. from 26 March 2020 to 31 May 2020. The bank will also provide a three month moratorium period, i.e. extra time from the payment date, for customers to deposit their due DPS installments.
Mahiul Islam, the bank’s Head of Retail Banking, said - “We are committed to helping our customers to stay strong and stay safe during the shut-down. We recognize that many customers have lost their earnings, partially or wholly, during this pandemic and we consider it our duty to support them”.
“We all are going through a tough time due to the spread of the deadly novel coronavirus, and the only way to reduce the spread is to stay at home. We hope that customers requiring to pay their monthly installments for the deposit schemes will find some relief in this process as we allow a free grace period for them”, he added.
Back in April, BRAC Bank, had announced a three month moratorium for its Retail and SME Loan customers and also waived late payment fees for its Credit Cardholders during the shut-down.
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।

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, 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.

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, 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.

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.

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, 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.

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/.

49,000 trees to be planted in 49 minutes to commemorate the 49th 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.

“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.

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.

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.

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

Financial Alliance for Women awards BRAC Bank for the fourth time
Dhaka, Sunday, October 11, 2020: BRAC Bank has again been named as the Access to Finance Champion by the Financial Alliance for Women. This is for the fourth consecutive time that BRAC Bank’s name was announced as winner in this category.
The announcement came in the 2020 Alliance Summit held from October 6 to 8, 2020, on a digital platform.
Financial Alliance for Women is the leading members’ network of financial organizations in 135 countries dedicated to championing the female economy that remains untapped.
The award is given each year to the outstanding Alliance member-institutions that work to serve their women customers better by providing them with holistic solutions to meet their investment needs. This year, the Female Economy Champions reflect the global nature of the work of the Alliance, hailing from diverse markets across six different regions.
Inez Murray, Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Alliance for Women, while announcing the results, said: “These institutions are setting an example for the sector by developing the program and strategies needed to tap into the female economy and making their brand more sustainable along the way. Their engagement with the Alliance network is essential to our mission and work of economically empowering women worldwide. They are proof of the business case for increasing gender equality on many scores.”
BRAC Bank was named the 'Access to Finance Champion' for continuously evolving its products and services under 'TARA' to expand its reach to female customers.
Commenting on this achievement, Selim R.F. Hussain, Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, said” "It is indeed a great pride and honor for BRAC Bank to win this award consecutively for the fourth time! It encourages us and instills confidence in us when we see our work is being appreciated not only in our country but also through global networks."
BRAC Bank launched 'TARA', a dedicated banking solution for women, in May 2017, and since then has been focusing on evolving changes that are best suited for the women of Bangladesh.
“Championing the women’s economy is both a means to progressing the financial inclusion agenda of developing countries and, at the same time, a great business opportunity. It is something we must do to further social justice and something which is perfectly aligned to the values that BRAC Bank stands for,” Hussain added.
The recorded videos of the 2020 Alliance Summit will be available on the Financial Alliance of Women Youtube channel after 12 October 2020.

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.

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.

Dhaka, Wednesday, October 28, 2020: BRAC Bank has recently teamed up with Rural Reconstruction Foundation (RRF) to provide credit facility to marginal farmers.
This partnership is a result of the agreement between BRAC Bank and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Feed the Future (FtF) Bangladesh Rice and Diversified Crops (RDC) Activity to support the farmers. Both parties agreed to disburse loans through the Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) network for the project, and thus, RRF has come on-board, said a press release.
RRF, established in 1982, is a non-profit social welfare organization and specializes in micro-financing. As of June 30, 2019, RRF has BDT 4,750.27 million outstanding loans in the micro-credit and agriculture sectors to some 181,225 borrowers and 233,502 individual members.
This agreement will lead RRF to provide a fresh credit facility to 1,000 farmers, including 800 female farmers, in the USAID FTF zone.
BRAC Bank will ensure necessary financial services to RRF for providing an uninterrupted credit facility to the farmers in 21 districts under the FTF zone. The bank will also support RRF in establishing safety measures and practices by providing hand sanitizers, face masks, and gloves to create a safe environment for the farmers. It will cut the fence for the farmers and encourage them to avail of formal banking services.
Through this agreement, the bank aims to provide financial services in the form of credit for crops which fall under profitable rice-based cropping pattern in the FTF zones.
Syed Abdul Momen, Head of SME Banking, BRAC Bank, said: “This brings a wonderful opportunity for us to reach out to the marginal farmers in the FTF zone and introduce them to the banking facilities. We are pleased to collaborate with RRF, and we hope to harness the waves of financial inclusion in the southern part of the country.”
Philip Biswas, Executive Director, RRF, said: “We are delighted to partner up with BRAC Bank to offer credit for crops to our farmers. It will certainly benefit the farmers to take a turnaround from the consequences that resulted from COVID-19 pandemic.”

The discussion focused on facilitating access to finance
Dhaka, Monday, November 02, 2020: BRAC Bank, in association with the ITC SheTrades Commonwealth project, has arranged a webinar for women entrepreneurs on access to fiscal stimulus packages in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The webinar took place on October 24, 2020, on a digital platform. The objective was to create awareness and prepare women entrepreneurs for accessing the financial packages declared by the Bangladesh government to build their resilience in overcoming the challenges caused by the global pandemic.
International Trade Centre (ITC), a joint agency of the World Trade Organization and the United Nations, organized the webinar. The ITC SheTrades Commonwealth (STC) project - which is funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), invited the women-owned SMEs for the webinar through registration. BRAC Bank’s Senior Manager of Business Transformation in the SME Division, Shajed AL Haque, and Head of TARA, Mehruba Reza, were among the resource persons of the webinar.
The speakers highlighted how the COVID-19 pandemic has forced entrepreneurs, especially women, to face many new challenges, and obligated them into a severe liquidity crisis. As the government has offered several stimulus packages for different industries and businesses to seize the economic crisis, it is crucial to learn the right processes and proper channels to avail them during this challenging time. The speakers also discussed how women could take leverage of TARA, a women banking initiative by BRAC Bank, to obtain more inclusive access to finance.
BRAC Bank was recently named the Access to Finance Champion by the Financial Alliance for Women for championing the Women's Economy agenda through TARA. Collaboration with ITC will further support the bank to achieve its objectives in empowering the women.

Dhaka, Wednesday, November 4, 2020: BRAC Bank, on Wednesday, launched 'Agami', a package of solutions to help students with their plans to study abroad.
"Agami is BRAC Bank’s complete student file solution. It will provide all necessary facilities to the students traveling abroad for study purposes," said Mahiul Islam, Head of Retail Banking of BRAC Bank.
'Agami' comes with four beneficial features for the students: a student file, a study-abroad credit card, a savings account, and an education insurance coverage.
While the student file service will enable a more convenient transfer of the education expenses for the families, the study-abroad credit card, endorsed with foreign currency, will be helpful for the students in meeting their day-to-day living expenses as well as emergencies. The credit card comes with a 100% waiver on the first year annual fee and a referral campaign for students with an opportunity to get cashback and bonus reward points on foreign currency endorsements to their cards.
'Agami' also offers students with educational insurance coverage of up to BDT 1 crore. It is an opt-in facility and in the event of a parent’s death, the insurance company will pay for the remaining tuition fees of the student.
BRAC Bank will also offer a 'Happy Savers Account' for these students that can be opened with BDT 1,000 only and provides students with an opportunity of interest-earning from any balance.
For details, customers can call BRAC Bank’s Call Center at 16221 or email to [email protected] or call the dedicated hotline number for student file service at 01713110172.

Dhaka, Thursday, November 26, 2020: BRAC Bank has recently organized a workshop for the foreign airlines operating in Bangladesh on the revised regulations for remitting their surplus earnings.
The Foreign Exchange Operation Department of Bangladesh Bank issued SPA Circular No. 1 on September 3, 2020, simplifying its rules on surplus earnings remittance by the foreign airlines. The foreign airline operators had been demanding simplification of the remittances for quite some time before the circular came.
Nabanita Dey, Joint Director, Foreign Exchange Operation Department, and Salma Akhtar, Deputy Director, Foreign Exchange Operation Department of Bangladesh Bank, were guest speakers at the workshop and provided answers to the queries of the foreign airline representatives in a Q&A session.
Tareq Refat Ullah Khan, DMD and Head of Corporate Banking at BRAC Bank, welcomed the participants to the workshop held at the bank's head office. He also presented BRAC Bank's portfolio before the participants in managing such a complex remittance process and highlighted the bank's fervor in this matter.
Selim RF Hussain, the Managing Director and CEO of the bank, inaugurated the workshop. He said, "We are happy that the central bank has paid attention to simplify the remittance process of airlines. It will not only reduce the hassle of piles of documentation that was a necessity earlier, but will also drive us towards embracing the digital way of work".
Shaheen Iqbal, Head of Treasury and Financial Institutes of BRAC Bank, made a presentation on Bangladesh's economic outlook amidst the post-pandemic situation and highlighted the opportunities that will help the airline industry recovering from the COVID-19 impact.
Bangladesh Bank, in its SPA Circular No. 1, has allowed the calculation of surplus earnings of the foreign airline operators based on passage and freight collections. Besides, the banks were allowed to remit on account of surplus earnings against passage and freight based on actual realization. The remittance would now be allowed upon all collections, supported by bank statements.
Bangladesh Bank has also scrapped the requirement of producing hard copies as proof of sales of tickets. Form P or Form P-2, from outgoing passengers against sales of tickets in the local currency, will no longer be required, the central bank officials said in the workshop.
Around 25 participants from different airlines, including representatives from the leading airline companies operating in Bangladesh, participated in the workshop. Participants maintained appropriate social distancing, hygiene, and health precautions during the 2-hour session.

Dhaka, Thursday, December 10, 2020: BRAC Bank has retained long-term and short-term issuer credit ratings of B+ and B, respectively, from S&P Global Ratings.
The outlook on the long-term rating is stable, the rating agency said in a report on December 2, 2020.
BRAC Bank is the only Bangladeshi bank that has been assigned with an issuer credit rating by S&P.
The ratings reflect the bank's good management and business franchise in the domestic retail and SME segments; and asset quality and capitalization that are above the industry average.
These factors are, however, offset by the challenging operating environment amid COVID-19 induced economic slowdown and substantial credit risk in the economy, as well as the reduced profitability due to pressure on interest margin and credit cost.
The stable outlook on BRAC Bank reflects S&P's view that the bank will steadily navigate challenging operating conditions in Bangladesh and maintain its financial profile over the next 12-18 months.
Selim RF Hussain, Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, said, "We are pleased with the B+ long-term insurer rating by S&P Global Ratings as it demonstrates the overall financial strength of BRAC Bank. It reflects our quality of management in identifying SME and retail segments as our niche to improve the operating competitiveness. We look forward to keeping steady progress and remain the most trusted bank in Bangladesh."
S&P report also says that it could upgrade BRAC Bank if its profitability improves while remaining higher than the industry average, and the bank sustainably increases its market share without strategic or operational missteps. This could be shown by sustained good asset quality metrics, prudential underwriting standards, and healthy capitalization.
Conversely, the risk of a lower rating lies if the bank's asset quality deteriorates sharply, for example due to prolonged reduction in economic activity in Bangladesh, the report says.
S&P Global Ratings is an American credit rating agency and a division of S&P Global that publishes financial research and analysis on stocks, bonds, and commodities.

Dhaka, Sunday, December 13, 2020: BRAC Bank has announced a strategic initiative aimed at improving digital financial services for Bangladeshi migrants living and working abroad.
Supported by the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), a UN agency focused primarily on making public and private finance work for the poor in 47 least developed countries, the new initiative aims at improving options for remittances—the funds that migrants send to their loved ones back home—by expanding digital remittance channels and linking digital remittances to other financial products.
The COVID-19 crisis heightened the need for digital financial products. The dominant remittance model has long relied on migrants bringing physical cash to a bricks-and-mortar money transfer outlet in the host country and transacting in person: lockdowns made that impossible for months. BRAC Bank’s new initiative will ensure that its innovative solutions and digital remittance channels present the migrant workers of Bangladesh and their remittance beneficiaries at home with easy access to cashless remittance transactions and secure savings under online banking networks. The migrant customers and their in-country loved ones will also receive training and social media tutorials. Remittance receivers will be able to receive remittances to their accounts or wallets, through various channels like in cards, faster direct account credits, and even without exchange houses in the middle through white-label app products.
Selim RF Hussain, the Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, said in this regard: “We are proud to be associated with UNCDF for expanding the financial ecosystem beyond remittances to enable greater financial inclusion for the Bangladeshi diaspora and their families as well.”
With support from the UNCDF, BRAC Bank will link the remittance channel with its value-added services and strengthen digital use-cases to encourage migrant wage earners to send remittances using the Bank’s cashless remittance channel. It will allow the migrants and their beneficiaries to benefit by saving time and cost as well as circumventing mobility and access constraints.
For UNCDF, the work with BRAC Bank is one part of a global push towards inclusive digital economies that leave no one behind.
“More than 270 million people, or roughly four percent of the global population, live and work outside their home countries,” explained Amil Aneja, UNCDF lead specialist on migration and remittances. “Like everyone else, they and their families back home need safe, affordable, and convenient financial services. As one of the ten biggest remittance-receiving countries in the world, Bangladesh is an important market for UNCDF’s work in this area, even more so since the volume is expected to grow by an estimated eight per cent, to USD 20 billion, in the next year. We look forward to working with BRAC Bank, which has a strong history of innovation, to scale up digital remittances as the gateway product for broader financial inclusion.”

Earlier in October, the private commercial banks, along with their advisory service organization, Bangladesh Association of Banks (BAB), made commitments to contribute blankets to the relief fund and handed over a token at a digital event at the Prime Minister's office in Dhaka. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina joined the programme through videoconferencing from her official residence.
Starting from November 30, 2020, BRAC Bank completed the delivery of the 50,000 blankets on December 22, 2020.

Dhaka, Sunday, December 27, 2020: BRAC Bank has completed its disbursement process of the Tk 20,000-crore stimulus fund for the cottage, micro, small and medium enterprises (CMSMEs). The bank is one of the first three banks in the country to have completed the process, a press release said.
As of December 3, banks have disbursed about BDT 8,600 crore among 52,000 CMSMEs according to the central bank's latest data, media reports said.
BRAC Bank, a pioneer for SME lending in Bangladesh, is among the first three banks that have completed the disbursement process. The two others are Bangladesh Krishi Bank and Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan Bank.
As of December 24, 2020, BRAC Bank has disbursed BDT 1,185 crore to 12,669 CMSMEs across the country. Starting from June 2020, the bank took only six months to complete its massive disbursement target of BDT 1,100 crore.
Considering the performance, Bangladesh Bank has recently allotted an additional BDT 200 crore to BRAC Bank for disbursement.
BRAC Bank's Head of SME, Syed Abdul Momen, said: "We are glad to have closed the disbursement before the deadline. Payment of small loans typically takes longer as it takes more time to scrutinize the documents of the CMSMEs. However, with the guidance of the Central Bank, slowly but steadily, we have completed the disbursement and kept our promise."
He added, "Even during the outbreak of COVID-19 in Bangladesh, we continued our support to the CMSMEs. We have disbursed more than 61,000 loans to the CMSMEs that accounts for BDT 10,181 crore as of November 30, 2020".
BRAC Bank's Managing Director and CEO, Selim RF Hussain, said: "BRAC Bank has always been a pro-SME bank. I thank our government for coming up with the much-needed stimulus packages for the CMSMEs and proactively demonstrating ways to damage-control of the economic losses."
To avert effects on the CMSMEs and encourage the banks to disburse stimulus packages, the government announced loans at 4 per cent for the CMSMEs; as banks charge the CMSMEs 9 per cent interest, the government announced that it would bear 5 per cent of the interest.
"Our central bank deserves a big thanks for their continuous support and encouragement to look for the CMSMEs and also for sustaining us with policy relaxation and deadline extensions," he added.
The deadline for disbursing the CMSMEs' bailout funds is December 31, 2020.

Partnered Phoenix Insurance and Adorsho Pranisheba Limited to boost the livestock industry
Dhaka, Thursday, December 31, 2020: BRAC Bank, in partnership with Phoenix Insurance and Adorsho Pranisheba Limited, has launched a project for cattle farmers in Bangladesh.
The project, dubbed Khamari, will ensure financial support and inclusion of the livestock farmers. It will also provide the farmers with digital means for better cattle-caring.
The livestock will also be insured so that the farmers can benefit from mitigating the risk of livestock loss caused by accidental death, diseases, partial disability, or even death during calving.
MA Mannan, MP, Honorable Minister, Ministry of Planning, formally inaugurated Khamari at a virtual ceremony held on December 30, 2020.
Selim R. F. Hussain, Managing Director & CEO, BRAC Bank; Md. Jamirul Islam, Managing Director & CEO, Phoenix Insurance; Fida Haq, Managing Director & CEO, Adorsho Pranisheba Limited; Syed Abdul Momen, Head of SME Banking, BRAC Bank; Dr. Aolad Hossain, Livestock Researcher, and Columnist; and Dr. SM Nazrul Islam, President, Bangladesh Veterinary Association, were also present at the inauguration.
"I believe that the Khamari project will further develop and enrich the country's livestock sector. It will encourage our farmers to raise livestock commercially and create new entrepreneurs across the country, especially in rural areas. Khamari will surely strengthen the economy", the Planning Minister said.
Selim R. F. Hussain said: “Since its inception, BRAC Bank has a particular focus on SME financing with a broader vision of financial inclusion and pro-poor growth. Khamari, I think, will boost the country’s cattle rearing sector and encourage more people to start farming commercially on a bigger scale. This initiative bears testimony to the bank’s commitment to digital experience as well as inclusive banking, especially for the small and marginal farmers".
Md. Jamirul Islam said: “We are excited to roll out insurance coverage facility for the cattle farmers. We shall continue to introduce more innovative products in partnerships to cater to the needs of the small businesses.”
Phoenix Insurance will provide full insurance with support from Adorsho Pranisheba, who will provide IoT Tracking System and Facial Recognition by Artificial Intelligence for livestock in this project.
Fida Haq explained how the Pranisheba App will work for the farmers and how they could benefit from this digital cattle monitoring platform. He said, "The purpose of Pranisheba is to contribute to the overall economic development of cattle farms, including the provision of livestock insurance using technology in rural areas of the country".
He expressed confidence that with Khamari, a new age for the cattle insurance industry will rise in Bangladesh.
Adorsho Pranisheba Limited is one of the leading AgriTech startups in Bangladesh and working to develop an ecosystem in the livestock and agricultural sector under the Companies Act, 1994.

Dhaka, Monday, January 11, 2021: Bangladesh Bank (BB) and BRAC Bank have jointly organized a workshop for enhancing the knowledge of BRAC Bank officials on SME financing.
BB lends resources to run the workshop that is part of the Second Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Development Project (SMEDP-2), funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
Cottage, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (CMSMEs) are considered the lifeblood of emerging economies. Bangladesh Bank is contributing significantly to promote CMSMEs in Bangladesh. They issued an FID circular no.01/2017 on November 15, 2017, to implement SMEDP-2.
The primary objective of SMEDP-2 is to ensure easy access to finance for the CMSMEs located outside of the Dhaka and Chattogram metropolitan areas. The loans are disbursed to the CMSMEs through the Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs). Around 21 banks and 12 NBFIs (non-banking financial institutions) have signed agreements as PFIs in the project. BRAC Bank officials related to SME financing and SMEDP-2 took part in the virtual workshop.
Prashanta Mohan Chakraborty, Joint Director, Bangladesh Bank and Project Manager of SMEDP-2, and Mahfuza Akter Tenni, Assistant Director, Bangladesh Bank, and Project Officer of SMEDP-2, were resource persons for the workshop.
The trainers discussed Bangladesh Bank's guidelines and initiatives regarding SME financing, gave an overview of policies and guidelines of SMEDP-2, and also talked about the application procedures and common mistakes of refinancing applications in the capacity building workshop.
A. K. M. Fazlur Rahman, Executive Director, Bangladesh Bank and Project Director of SMEDP-2, was the chief guest at the workshop while Rezaul Karim Sarkar, Deputy General Manager, Bangladesh Bank and Deputy Project Director of SMEDP-2, was present as special guest.
Selim RF Hussain, the Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, and Syed Abdul Momen, Head of SME, were also present during the workshop.
The virtual workshop took place on January 5, 2021, Tuesday, at the BRAC Bank head office in the capital’s Tejgaon district.

Dhaka, Tuesday, January 26, 2021: BRAC Bank Agent Banking has introduced a new community engagement programme titled 'Uthan Boithok'.
'Uthan Boithok' was first launched in December 2020 with the objective to bring more unbanked people to avail the financial services at the agent outlets and add value to the national economy, especially in geographically remote and rural locations.
The agent of an Agent Banking Outlet arranges 'Uthan Boithok' with support from the district level Agent Banking officials. BRAC Bank has organized 5 Uthan Boithoks to date in different districts.
Selim RF Hussain, the Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, said: "BRAC Bank was found to spearhead financial inclusion in the country and Agent Banking is one of our key channels to achieve that goal. Starting in 2018, we have one of the fastest-growing Agent Banking networks in Bangladesh".
Nazmur Rahim, BRAC Bank's Head of Alternate Banking Channel, said: "Uthan Boithok is a unique initiative to enhance financial awareness and enrich people’s knowledge about the bank and banking. They are more inspired when they get to learn together about our products and services i.e., DPS, FDR, overseas remittance processes and opening accounts. It is encouraging to see that the people are participating and contributing more to the economy."
The Agent Banking field officials along with BRAC Bank's respective Branch Managers and other branch officials as well as the SME Unit Office representatives participate in the 'Uthan Boithok' programme and discuss the rules and benefits of banking through Agent Banking outlets.
Agent banking is defined as the banking service provided outside of regular bank branches by engaged agents under a valid agency agreement. It was first introduced in Bangladesh by Bangladesh Bank in 2013.

BRAC Bank celebrates fast-growing agent banking network
Dhaka, Wednesday, January 27, 2021: BRAC Bank has reached the milestone of building a network of 500 Agent Banking outlets, according to a press release of the bank issued today.
The bank inaugurated 50 new Agent Banking outlets in 27 districts across the country in a single event held over a digital platform today to join the milestone of 500.
Commenting on this achievement, the Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, Selim RF Hussain, said: "We are proud to have reached the milestone of opening 500 Agent Banking within a short period of time. I would thank all our Agent Banking partners and my Agent Banking colleagues for this remarkable achievement."
The number of the bank's Agent Banking outlets stands at 500 to date, starting from October 2018 with 10 outlets in 8 divisions.
BRAC Bank, a pioneer in SME banking, currently serves its customers through 187 branches, 456 SME unit offices, and 374 ATM and CDM booths across the country. Earlier, the bank held a digital event to open 50 new agent banking outlets in 27 districts reaching to 500 Agent Banking outlets in 64 districts.
Nazmur Rahim, Head of Alternate Banking Channel of BRAC Bank, said: "BRAC Bank is making relentless efforts to drive financial inclusion across the country. Agent Banking is an ideal model to take the banking services to a customer's neighborhood, especially benefitting the disadvantaged and lower-income people in remote locations."
He said: "Our agents are our development partners, our representative to the mass people. Together we pledge to make more contributions to the sustainable development of the country."
BRAC Bank has a dedicated Agent Banking app that helps the outlets provide services that other commercial banks can't. It also developed an Agent Banking manual for its partners so that their collective services promise advanced technology-based banking experience and reliable customer service. It will help the bank become a preferred institution of trust and confidence among people from all walks of life, Rahim added.
BRAC Bank management also expressed gratitude to the government, the Bangladesh Bank, and other regulatory authorities at the event.

Dhaka, Wednesday, February 10, 2021: BRAC Bank has recognized 62 of its COVID-19 Heroes who performed at the forefront and back-office, and served the customers during the challenging times of 2020, said a press release.
Bangladesh Bank had directed all the scheduled banks in its BRPD Circular Letter No. 18 to provide special healthcare insurance and grant-in-aid to the frontline employees who were infected with COVID-19 while performing their duties during the government-declared general holidays in 2020.
Akhteruddin Mahmood, Head of HR of BRAC Bank said: "BRAC Bank has contributed BDT 35.3 million to acknowledge 62 of its people who were infected by COVID-19 during that time frame. Unfortunately, one among the 62 employees could not survive the COVID impact. The family was compensated in December 2020 with five-times of the allocated fund for the employee as per the BRPD circular."
Selim RF Hussain, the managing director and CEO of BRAC Bank said: "We are proud to have such valiant front-liners among us. We have come this far and resurged from that difficult time because of the courage, commitment, and valor of these people who provided uninterrupted service to our valued customers in a time the entire world closed down. We express our heartfelt gratitude to them."
As a values-based financial institution, BRAC Bank’s Health Insurance Policy also covered the cost of treatment for the employees who were infected by COVID-19.

Dhaka, Thursday, February 18, 2021: Moody's Investor Service has upgraded the Foreign Currency credit rating for BRAC Bank in December-2020 to Ba3 from B1.
Moody’s also reaffirmed BRAC Bank’s Local Currency Deposit Rating as "Ba3" - the highest for any Bangladeshi bank rated by Moody's. This is the fourth consecutive year that the bank has obtained the highest credit rating from the internationally renowned rating agency.
Moody's statement mentions that BRAC Bank's rating reflects the bank's robust profitability and capitalization, strong asset quality compared with those of its industry peers; driven by its competitive advantage in the higher-yielding small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) segment; and stable funding profile and liquidity.
Commenting on the issue, Selim RF Hussain, managing director of BRAC Bank said, "BRAC Bank stands on a solid ground with stable funding and liquidity, supported by our good governance, brand reputation, and sizable distribution network".
Moody's report also says that BRAC Bank's capitalization is the highest among the Bangladeshi banks that they rate, supported by strong internal capital generation and a conservative dividend policy.
It is mentionable that BRAC Bank is the only Bangladeshi bank to maintain the sovereign rating standard of Ba3 for four consecutive years.

Dhaka, Monday, March 8, 2021: BRAC Bank has recently organized a day-long training programme on “Prevention of Trade-Based Money Laundering” for its people.
Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) lent resources to run the training programme held on Saturday, February 27, 2021.
Former Bangladesh Bank deputy governor and Head of BFIU Abu Hena Mohd Razee Hassan inaugurated the training programme as the chief guest.
Sawkatul Alam, General Manager, BFIU, was also present as Special Guest in the programme.
A.K.M. Nurunnabi, Deputy General Manager, BFIU, and Syed Kamrul Islam, Deputy General Manager, BFIU, were the key resource persons of the training.
The Head of BFIU said: "BFIU is taking stringent measures to identify threats and vulnerabilities that could undermine the integrity of the financial institutions. Hence prevention of trade-based money laundering is an important issue for all banks. BFIU is happy to extend its hands to support the banks in better understanding of the issues and reasons of suspicious transactions and activity reporting."
The Government of Bangladesh promulgated the Money Laundering Prevention Act, 2002. Subsequently, to meet emerging international standards, subsequent amendments were made in 2008 and 2012. The main objective of the 2012 Act is to tackle illegal money transfers to different countries.
Selim R. F. Hussain, the Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, thanked the senior BFIU officials for spending the day at the bank's head office for the training programme.
Hussain said: "There is all kind of customers in a bank and a few of the not-so-honest always lurk for taking advantage of the law. Some of their transactions, exports, and imports are such that you will not be able to find an ill purpose in them."
"As the government pays special attention to this issue, continuous efforts are being made to prevent it, and trade-based money laundering laws have been enacted. Banking professionals have a lot of responsibility to ensure proper implementation of this law", he added.
Hussain also mentioned some of BRAC Bank's state-of-the-art technologies for price verification, tracking of vessels and containers, cross-checking and screening of transaction history to combat trade-based money laundering.
More than 600 BRAC Bank employees joined the training programme via a digital platform while the department and unit heads along with the bank's senior management were present physically.

Professor Dr. Md. Mizanur Rahman, the Chairman of the Department of Marketing, Dhaka University, and Selim RF Hussain, Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective organizations.

Uddokta 101: Entrepreneur Accelerator Programme by DU-BRAC Bank - is a targeted accelerator/certification course for aspiring entrepreneurs, especially women, with a minimum of one year of business experience. The participants will receive exclusive entrepreneurial training from the country’s renowned trainers, academicians, and practitioners. The participants will also get networking opportunities that will help them gain skills that will augment their professional skills and business acumen.
BRAC Bank's Managing Director and CEO, Selim RF Hussain said, "BRAC Bank has always been proactive in nurturing Bangladesh’s SMEs. With this accelerator programme, our objective is to simply help SMEs and entrepreneurs grow by up-scaling their businesses. We want our women to take advantage of this course and we will ensure that at least 30 per cent of the participants are women."
Women are especially encouraged to enroll in this Uddokta 101 programme. Current students and alumni of DU will also get privileges in the programme.
Professor Dr. Md. Mizanur Rahman said, "Uddokta 101 will be a flagship project that will provide an inclusive platform for our students, alumni as well as new entrepreneurs. We will be happy if the participants learn from this platform to be enabled to give a job, rather than looking for one. I thank BRAC Bank for coming up with such a great endeavor."
'Uddokta 101' will accommodate four batches of entrepreneurs every year for a 3-month certification course. BRAC Bank will contribute to the participants’ registration cost from its CSR fund.
Interested participants can keep an eye on the BRAC Bank website for a call for application.

Dhaka, April 6, 2021: BRAC Bank has organized a learning session for its employees on gender prejudices for bringing about positive changes both in the society and at work.
Tashnuva Anan Shishir, Bangladesh's first trans-person news broadcaster reader, was invited as the speaker at the session. She shared the ups and downs of her life, the condition of other trans-persons in Bangladesh and what the society can do for them in order to positively include them in the main stream.
The session -- part of TENDERtalk - a series of BRAC Bank’s internal learning sessions -- was organized on a digital platform today, April 6, 2021, with more than 650 participants. The objective of this session was to sensitize the employees on the third gender issues, a press release said.
Tashnuva Anan Shishir said: "I had to prove to the society that I exist. Today, I feel honoured that BRAC Bank invited me to talk about my journey with its senior executives. I appreciate this change-making initiative and I'm hopeful that this will further open the path for social inclusion of the trans-persons in the formal job markets".
She is now pursuing a Master's in Public Health at BRAC University, where she is the first trans-person to receive a scholarship to obtain a master's degree. She has been a leader in various Bangladeshi NGOs supporting the trans-persons, such as Bondhu Social Welfare, TransEnd, the National Human Rights Commission of Bangladesh, Rethink, and her platform, Shree: Voice of Sexual Minority.
BRAC Bank's Head of Human Resources Akhteruddin Mahmood said: "BRAC Bank is a pioneer in taking change-making initiatives, be it financial inclusion of the CMSMEs, or the social inclusion of the less fortunate people. Earlier, we employed acid victims in our workforce and we're planning to employ the trans-persons in our bank. Tashnuva's struggle and success have made us confident towards the inclusion of all walks of people in our bank".
TENDERtalk is a BRAC Bank HR-initiated series of dialogue for the employees to lead many changes in the society. The HR team invites experts and activists to TENDERtalk and the invitees share their knowledge and experiences with BRAC Bank’s people.

Dhaka, Wednesday, April 21, 2021: BRAC Bank has disclosed its annual performance for the year ending December 31, 2020, in a virtual earning disclosure program on April 19, 2021.
Bangladesh experienced the full brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of 2020 but recovered strongly through a large Government stimulus programme and multiple monetary measures. Strong overseas remittances from the private sector and a rebound in local economic activities also provided relief.
BRAC Bank was able to successfully re-organize its operations very early on to embrace new Health and Safety measures, roll out a virtual operations platform and significantly expand its digital customer solutions. It allowed the bank to continue to serve its customers during the pandemic and leverage off the economic recovery in the second half of the year.
Some of the highlights of the bank’s 2020 performance are:
The virtual earning disclosure programme brought together many local and foreign investment analysts, portfolio managers and capital market experts and was also broadcast live on social media for overseas stakeholders.
Selim R. F. Hussain, BRAC Bank's Managing Director and CEO; M. Masud Rana, DMD and Chief Financial Officer; Sabbir Hossain, DMD and Chief Operating Officer; Tareq Refat Ullah Khan, DMD and Head of the Corporate Banking Division and other Senior Business Heads presented the financial results, outlined the bank’s strategy and conducted a Q&A session.
Hussain ended the programme by stating, “BRAC Bank had come out of the pandemic with its reputation among customers and stakeholders even higher than at the start of the year.”
He was particularly complimentary of the Bank’s 9,500 odd staff members, who had exhibited the highest standards of professionalism and sincerity during a very difficult circumstance.

Dhaka, Friday, April 29, 2021: BRAC Bank has contributed to Prime Minister's Relief and Welfare Fund in providing food to the people affected by COVID-19.
The bank has handed over a cheque of five crore taka (BDT 50 million) to the Bangladesh Association of Banks (BAB) on Thursday, April 29, 2021, as part of this contribution.
The BAB, in a virtual meeting held on April 26, 2021, proposed to extend emergency food support through the Prime Minister's Relief and Welfare Fund to the people who are badly affected by COVID-19.
Selim RF Hussain, the Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank, said: "BRAC Bank is honoured to be able to support the marginalized people in this difficult time. COVID-19 has impacted millions who are struggling to meet the ends and this is a small contribution that would mitigate the suffering in the time of crisis. We would continue supporting the people who need help".
Earlier in March 2021, BRAC Bank also contributed 5 crore taka in favour of Bangabandhu Memorial Trust as part of a contribution to the Prime Minister's Ashrayan-2 project to support the homeless marking the Mujib Borsho and the golden jubilee of Bangladesh’s independence.

Dhaka, Monday, May 24, 2021: BRAC Bank hosted its Q1’21 (January-March 2021) earnings disclosure event in a virtual programme.
After experiencing the full brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of 2020 and subsequent health and economic recovery during the latter half of 2020, the year 2021 saw a vibrant first 3 months in terms of economic activity picking up. Bangladesh, one of the early adopters of the COVID-19 vaccination, rolled out the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
BRAC Bank was able to successfully re-organize its operations very early on to embrace new health and safety measures, roll out a virtual operations platform and significantly expand digital customer solutions. This allowed the Bank to continue to serve its customers during the pandemic and strengthen its position to counter the subsequent waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The point of caution is that the new COVID-19 variant has caused a rise in infection once again during April 2021 which resulted in a lockdown and stay at home initiatives to flatten the curve.
Some of the highlights of the Bank’s Q1’21 performance are:
The virtual earning disclosure programme brought together many local and foreign investment analysts, portfolio managers and capital market experts and was also broadcast live on social media for overseas stakeholders.
BRAC Bank’s Managing Director and CEO, Selim R. F. Hussain; DMD and Chief Financial Officer, M Masud Rana, FCA; DMD and Chief Operating Officer, Sabbir Hossain; DMD and Head of Corporate Banking, Tareq Refat Ullah Khan; and other Senior Business Heads presented the financial results, outlined the Bank’s strategy and conducted a Q&A session.

Dhaka, Tuesday, June 22, 2021: BRAC Bank has partnered with 5 new exchange companies to channel Wage Earners’ Remittance through its country-wide network.
The new remittance partners are KL Remit Exchange SDN BHD (Malaysia), CBL Money Transfer (Malaysia), Crown Agents Bank (UK), Hamdan Exchange LLC (Oman), and Global Money Exchange Company (Oman).
Earlier, the bank also obtained permission from Bangladesh Bank as per the regulatory guideline.
Mahiul Islam, Head of Retail Banking, BRAC Bank, said, "Wage earner remittance is an important driver of our economy and also a major contributor to the nation’s foreign currency reserve. BRAC Bank is committed to enhancing our remittance ecosystem. With the new partners, we believe that the Bangladeshi diaspora will be able to send wage remittance at their comfort and convenience."
It is worth mentioning that one of BRAC Bank’s continuous big strategies is to harness the power of strategic relationships and deliver cutting-edge facilities to its customers. In this regard, the bank is currently completing API integrations with these partners to ensure automated and real-time remittance arrangements.
In addition, as part of its digital transformation, BRAC Bank has recently partnered with Ripple.
Ripple is a rapidly growing global network of 350+ financial institutions that enjoy plug-and-play facilities to automate payments between each other. This reduces significant time and cost by skipping API connectivity between each pair of partners, ushering in a new horizon of operational efficiency. Ripple uses blockchain technology optimized for peer to peer payments between financial institutions.
Mahiul also said, "With unparalleled customer convenience at its DNA, BRAC Bank offers Probashi Bangladeshi (NRBs) the facility to open accounts from anywhere in the world. The customers can also operate their accounts from their residing countries, using 'Astha', BRAC Bank's mobile banking app".
"NRBs can deposit a portion of their income in their accounts, instead of sending all of it for the household expenses of their families back home", he added.
Besides, BRAC Bank has a bundle of deposit and investment products specifically designed for its Probashi customers. It also provides government products such as bonds and Sanchaypatra. By sustaining a savings behaviour among the NRB wage earners, BRAC Bank also supports the holistic economic growth and development of the country.

Dhaka, Tuesday, July 13, 2021: Morshed, a member of the national wheelchair cricket team, has recently been provided with an artificial leg by the BRAC Limb and Brace Centre. BRAC Bank, one of the leading financial institutions in the country, has assisted in this.
The artificial leg was attached to Morshed's body on June 13 this year. After some routine exercise, Morshed has returned to his home. Born in '96, the youngster now runs regularly during his cricket practice.
The story was revealed in a press release by BRAC Bank today.
Morshed Alam is the son of Altaf Hossain of Boalkhali Upazila in Chattogram. Morshed used to face difficulties after barely moving from his house to the playground. His family was unable to get proper treatment for him due to financial constraints.
Learning about Morshed, BRAC Bank came forward to support his indomitable dream. Free prosthetic leg were implanted in his body under the supervision of BRAC Limb and Brace Centre.
When Morshed was contacted and asked how he was, he said, "I am much better than before, I can walk, I can play. I used to feel pain while walking. Now it is not there anymore. I feel quite fit now. My parents are also very happy. Many friends came to see. I am now dreaming big after getting this leg. It was hard for me to play cricket, now I can play quite effortlessly. ”
Selim RF Hussain, Managing Director and CEO, BRAC Bank, said, “BRAC Bank's goal, in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, is to ensure that no one is left behind. And therefore we are working for a society in partnerships with different organizations. BRAC Bank is proud to be a part of Morshed's journey. ”
BRAC Bank also provides annual financial assistance to the ‘Poor Fund’ of BRAC Limb and Brace Center and bears the cost of the prosthesis of many of the helpless people.
On March 17, one of the leading daily newspapers published a piece of news on Ishita who was not able to go to school due to a lack of artificial legs. Upon knowing this, BRAC Bank came forward and Ishita was given a free prosthesis on April 5, 2021, under the supervision of BRAC Limb and Brace Centre.

Dhaka, Saturday, July 17, 2021: BRAC Bank has committed to provide food supplies to contribute to the free-meal programme by 'Mehmankhana', a quaint corner of Dhaka's Lalmatia Residential Area. The first food shipment has reached today [Saturday].
'Mehmankhana', as the organizers call it, is coordinated and run by volunteers who started feeding the low-income people during Ramadan of 2020.
Today the volunteers of Mehmankhana feed around 2,000 people every day and send more than 400 food packets to the relatively better-off families, who lost their sources of income due to the COVID and lockdown situation and feel shy to queue up for food.
BRAC Bank is to provide its monthly supplies for the next 10 months to help Mehmankhana feed the people who don’t have food.
"It's a charity organization", said Theatre worker Liza Asma Akhter, who leads Mehmankhana along with her friends, "and we wanted to provide hot meals to orphaned children, rickshaw-pullers, street vendors and other marginalized persons of the society".
"We are happy and honoured to be a part of this free-meal initiative by Mehmankhana", said Selim RF Hussain, Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank as the bank commits to continue the support for at least 10 months.
He said, "BRAC Bank is committed to leaving no one behind. The ideology behind Mehmankhana is quite aligned with our values".

ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের নতুন হোমগ্রোউন ডিএমডি
ঢাকা, শনিবার, ২৪শে জুলাই, ২০২১: ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক লিমিটেড সম্প্রতি তার হেড অফ এসএমই ব্যাংকিং, সৈয়দ আবদুল মোমেনকে ব্যাংকের ডেপুটি ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর (উপ-ব্যবস্থাপনা পরিচালক) পদে পদোন্নতি দিয়েছে, এক সংবাদ বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে জানানো হয়।
মোমেন ২০০৫ সালে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকে যোগ দিয়ে দু'বছর ব্যাংকটির টেকনোলজি বিভাগে কাজ করেন। এরপর তিনি দুই বছরের বিশেষ দায়িত্বে ব্র্যাক আফগানিস্তান ব্যাংকে যান এবং সেখানে হেড অফ অপারেশন্স ও পরবর্তীতে চীফ অপারেশন্স অফিসার হিসেবে দায়িত্ব পালন করেন।
২০০৯ সালে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকে ফিরে এসে তিনি এসএমই কালেকশন প্রজেক্টের প্রধান হিসাবে এসএমই ব্যাংকিং বিভাগে যোগদান করেন। ২০১০ সালের জুলাই মাসে, প্রকল্পটি সফলভাবে সমাপ্ত হওয়ার পর, তিনি এসএমই ব্যাংকিং বিভাগের ক্ষুদ্র ব্যবসায় (স্মল বিজনেস) বিভাগের প্রধান হিসাবে কাজ শুরু করেন। ২০১৭ সালে তিনি পুরো এসএমই ব্যাংকিং বিভাগের দায়িত্ব পান।
তাঁর নেতৃত্ব এসএমই ব্যাংকিং বিভাগে নতুন করে উদ্দীপনা, উদ্ভাবনী চর্চা এবং উচ্চাকাঙ্ক্ষা তৈরি হয় যার ফলে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের এসএমই বিভাগ ধারাবাহিকভাবে ব্যবসায়িক বৃদ্ধি এবং নিত্য নতুন মাইলফলক অর্জনে সক্ষম হয়।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর অ্যান্ড সিইও সেলিম রেজা ফরহাদ হোসেন বলেন, "গত কয়েক বছরে মোমেন আমাদের এসএমই ব্যবসাকে এক নতুন উচ্চতায় পৌছে দিয়েছেন। তার কারণে আমাদের লোন পোর্টফোলিও যেমন দ্বিগুণ হয়েছে, তেমনি উন্নত হয়েছে পোর্টফোলিওর মান এবং আমানত। ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের পরিচালনা পর্ষদের প্রত্যেকেই ব্যাংকে তাঁর দায়িত্বের পরিধি বাড়াতে পেরে সন্তুষ্ট।"
মোমেন ১৯৯৯ সালে তার ব্যাংকিং কর্মজীবন শুরু করেন তৎকালীন এএনজেড গ্রিন্ডলেজ ব্যাংকের মাধ্যমে, যা ২০০০ সালে স্ট্যান্ডার্ড চার্টার্ড ব্যাংক অধিগ্রহণ করে। মোমেন লন্ডনের মিডলসেক্স বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় থেকে কম্পিউটার কমিউনিকেশন্স অ্যান্ড আইটি বিষয়ে বিএসসি সম্পন্ন করেছেন।
পুরো ব্যাংকিং খাতে সৈয়দ আবদুল মোমেন এসএমই ব্যাংকিং-এর উপর তার জ্ঞান এবং দক্ষতার জন্য বেশ সুপরিচিত।


Dhaka, Monday, July 26, 2021: BRAC Bank, the pioneer of SME Banking in Bangladesh, has achieved a distinct benchmark of compliance for maintaining a high level of data security of the customers.
The bank has recently achieved compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) to obtain the certification.
PCI-DSS Certificate is regarded as the most rigorous and globally recognized payment-card security standard in the industry, a statement said.
The compliance assessment was done by renowned Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) SISA InfoSec. BRAC Bank has received the PCI-DSS Certificate by complying with all its requirements.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) is a set of security standards developed for organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder's data.
Governed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI-SSC), the compliance certification aims to secure card transactions against data theft and fraud.
BRAC Bank is among very few banks in Bangladesh that have complied with the PCI-DSS requirement that has been set by the regulatory body and mandatory by payment partners (e.g., Visa, Master Card, JCB).
Sabbir Hossain, DMD and Chief Operating Officer of BRAC Bank, said, "It was a journey of 4 years that has enabled us to be PCI-DSS certified. We had to upgrade multiple major solutions, including in-house applications to ensure compliance with the rigorous standard".
In this process, BRAC Bank has upgraded its eCommerce Platform, credit card solution, payment switch system, CORPnet, internet banking system and core banking system. It also deployed multiple security technologies and conducted several security assessments and multiple pieces of training.
Hossain added, "BRAC Bank strives to achieve the utmost compliance standards in the industry and continuously improve to protect valuable business information assets. We are happy to offer complete data protection to our customers."
Earlier, BRAC Bank achieved the ISO 27001:2013 certification for Information security management function in 2017 and the ISO 18788 certification for Security Operations and Cyber Fusion Centre in 2020.
আন্তর্জাতিক তথ্য সুরক্ষা সার্টিফিকেট পেলো ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক
ঢাকা, সোমবার, ২৬শে জুলাই, ২০২১: গ্রাহকদের সর্বোচ্চ ডেটা সিকিউরিটি বা তথ্য সুরক্ষা বজায় রাখার জন্য একটি আন্তর্জাতিক মানের স্বীকৃতি অর্জন করেছে বাংলাদেশে এসএমই ব্যাংকিংয়ের প্রবর্তক ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক।
সম্প্রতি ‘পেমেন্ট কার্ড ইন্ডাস্ট্রি ডেটা সিকিউরিটি স্ট্যান্ডার্ড' (পিসিআই-ডিএসএস)-এর নীতিমালা অনুযায়ী শক্তিশালী সিস্টেম, উন্নত নেটওয়ার্ক সিকিউরিটি ব্যবস্থা, নিয়মিত পর্যবেক্ষণ ও রক্ষণাবেক্ষণ নিশ্চিত করার মাধ্যমে এই সনদ অর্জন করেছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক, এক সংবাদ বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে জানানো হয়।
পিসিআই-ডিএসএস কমপ্লায়েন্স স্ট্যান্ডার্ডকে গ্রাহকমুখী প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলোর জন্য সবচেয়ে কঠোর এবং বিশ্বব্যাপী স্বীকৃত পেমেন্ট-কার্ড সুরক্ষা মান হিসাবে বিবেচনা করা হয়।
সুরক্ষা মূল্যায়নকারী প্রতিষ্ঠান (কিউএসএ) এসআইএসএ ইনফেসেক-এর মাধ্যমে পিসিআই-ডিএসএস কমপ্লায়েন্স স্ট্যান্ডার্ড এর সকল প্রয়োজনীয়তা মেনে সনদটি পেয়েছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক।
পিসিআই-ডিএসএস হলো কার্ডহোল্ডারের ডেটা সঞ্চয়, প্রক্রিয়াজাত ও প্রেরণকারী প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলোর জন্য সুরক্ষিত মানদন্ডের একটি স্ট্যান্ডার্ড।
পেমেন্ট কার্ড ইন্ডাস্ট্রি সিকিউরিটি স্ট্যান্ডার্ড কাউন্সিল (পিসিআই-এসএসসি) নিয়ন্ত্রিত এই কমপ্লায়েন্স সনদের লক্ষ্য হলো ডেটা চুরি এবং জালিয়াতির বিরুদ্ধে কার্ডের লেনদেনকে সুরক্ষিত করা।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক বাংলাদেশের খুব অল্প সংখ্যক প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলোর একটি যারা পিসিআই-ডিএসএসের প্রয়োজনীয়তা মেনে চলেছে। এটি ইতোমধ্যে নিরন্ত্রক সংস্থা এবং বিভিন্ন পেমেন্ট পার্টনার, যেমনঃ ভিসা, মাস্টার কার্ড, জেসিবি দ্বারা বাধ্যতামূলক করা হয়েছে।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ডিএমডি অ্যান্ড চিফ অপারেটিং অফিসার সাব্বির হোসেন বলেন, "প্রায় ৪ বছরের কঠিন পরিশ্রমের মাধ্যমে আমরা পিসিআই-ডিএসএস সার্টিফিকেট অর্জন করতে সক্ষম হয়েছি। এই কঠিন স্ট্যান্ডার্ডের মান বজায় রাখার জন্য আমাদের অভ্যন্তরীণ অ্যাপ্লিকেশন সহ একাধিক বড় বড় সলিউশন আপগ্রেড করতে হয়েছে"।
এই প্রক্রিয়াতে, ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক তার ইকমার্স প্ল্যাটফর্ম, ক্রেডিট কার্ড সলিউশন, পেমেন্ট সুইচ সিস্টেম, কর্পনেট, ইন্টারনেট ব্যাংকিং সিস্টেম এবং কোর ব্যাংকিং সিস্টেমকে উন্নত করেছে। পাশাপাশি একাধিক সুরক্ষা প্রযুক্তি মোতায়েন করে বিভিন্ন সুরক্ষা মূল্যায়ন ও একাধিক প্রশিক্ষণের ব্যবস্থা করেছে।
হোসেন আরও বলেন, "ব্যাংকিং খাতে সর্বোচ্চ মান অর্জনে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক প্রতিশ্রুতিবদ্ধ। আমাদের মূল্যবান তথ্য সম্পদ রক্ষায় অবিচ্ছিন্নভাবে উন্নতি করা আমাদের অন্যতম লক্ষ্য। আমাদের গ্রাহকদের সম্পূর্ণ ডেটা সুরক্ষা নিশ্চিত করতে পেরে আমরা আনন্দিত।"
এর আগে, ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক তথ্য সুরক্ষা ব্যবস্থাপনার জন্য ২০১৭ সালে ISO 27001: 2013 সনদ এবং ২০২০ সালে সিকিউরিটি অপারেশনস এবং সাইবার ফিউশন সেন্টারের জন্য ISO 18788 সনদ অর্জন করেছে।

Dhaka, Monday, August 02, 2021: BRAC Bank has initiated a special CSR programme to stand by the families affected due to COVID-19.
The bank has recently signed an agreement with BRAC, the world’s largest NGO, to implement the project, a press release said.
In April 2021, Bangladesh Bank, through BRPD Circular Letter No. 09, requested all the scheduled banks to allocate a special CSR fund equivalent to one per cent of the banks' 2020 profits. The fund is necessitated to support with essential food or equivalent support in cash, or health and hygiene materials, or medicare of suspected COVID patients, or financial support to those who have lost their livelihood and are affected by COVID-19.
BRAC Bank, accordingly, has allocated a fund of BDT 4.54 crore to support the affected families.
BRAC will be transferring the fund, on behalf of BRAC Bank, through mobile wallet bKash. About 30,267 families across the country will receive emergency food support.
Each family will receive BDT 1,500 which will enable them to buy essential food and other emergency necessities for two weeks.
The initiative was announced on Sunday (August 01, 2021) mentioning that the distribution of money will be completed by the second week of August 2021.
Ten districts exposed to high risk of COVID transmission and under strict lockdown will be prioritized in this initiative. The districts are: Khulna, Satkhira, Bogura, Magura, Dinajpur, Natore, Joypurhat, Bagerhat, Chuadanga, and Chattogram.
As per a subsequent circular, BRPD Circular No. 29, 50 per cent of the total fund has to be spent in Khulna and Rajshahi Division and the rest 50 per cent in other Divisions as per BRPD Circular No. 09. Of the total disbursed amount, 50 per cent has to be spent in the rural areas for destitute people and marginalized people and 50 per cent in the urban areas for slum dwellers, destitute people, and marginalized people.
The families to receive the assistance are being identified by the skilled field staff of BRAC following a rigorous process. Families with elderly members, pregnant and lactating mothers, persons with disabilities, families dependent on women’s earning, ultra-poor households, and those who have not received assistance from other sources will have the priority in this initiative.
Asif Saleh, Executive Director, BRAC, said, "We greatly appreciate this timely support from BRAC Bank. It will contribute to our initiative, Dakche Abar Desh, to bring food to the vulnerable households for whom the lockdown continues to prove particularly harsh. I hope more private actors will come forward to collaborate, so we can leverage each other's strengths to help the most vulnerable families during this pandemic who are not receiving support from other sources."
Selim RF Hussain, the Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank said, “We are thankful to Bangladesh Bank for their thoughts and guidance on supporting the COVID-affected families. We would also thank BRAC for helping us in executing this enormous task, following the regulatory guidelines, to reaching out to the actual needy families. As BRAC Bank believes in ‘leaving no one behind’, we are firmly committed to standing by the people of our country in any challenging time."
Last year, BRAC Bank employees contributed BDT 1.73 crore from their August salary as emergency food support to BRAC's 'Dakche Amar Desh' initiative.
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ৪.৫৪ কোটি টাকার জরুরি খাদ্য সহায়তা
ঢাকা, সোমবার, ২রা আগস্ট ২০২১: কোভিড-১৯ এর কারণে ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত মানুষের পাশে দাঁড়ানোর জন্য একটি বিশেষ সিএসআর (সামাজিক দায়বদ্ধতা) উদ্যোগ শুরু করছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। উদ্যোগ বাস্তবায়নে সম্প্রতি ব্র্যাকের সাথে একটি চুক্তি স্বাক্ষর করেছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক; আজ এক সংবাদ বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে এ বিষয়ে জানানো হয়।
গত এপ্রিল মাসে বাংলাদেশ ব্যাংক, বিআরপিডি সার্কুলার লেটার নং ০৯ এর মাধ্যমে, সকল তফসিলি ব্যাংকদের তাদের ২০২০ সালের মুনাফার এক শতাংশের সমান অর্থ একটি বিশেষ সিএসআর তহবিলে বরাদ্দ করার অনুরোধ জানায়। তহবিল গঠনের উদ্দেশ্য হলো অসহায় মানুষদের প্রয়োজনীয় খাদ্য বা নগদ অর্থ, বা স্বাস্থ্য ও স্বাস্থ্যবিধি সামগ্রী, অথবা সন্দেহভাজন কোভিড রোগীদের চিকিৎসা, অথবা যারা তাদের জীবিকা হারিয়েছে এবং কোভিড-১৯ দ্বারা প্রভাবিত হয়েছে তাদের আর্থিক সহায়তা দেয়া।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক, সেই অনুযায়ী, ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত পরিবারগুলিকে সহায়তা করার জন্য ৪.৫৪ কোটি টাকার একটি তহবিল বরাদ্দ করেছে।
মোবাইল ওয়ালেট বিকাশের মাধ্যমে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের পক্ষ থেকে ব্র্যাক ক্ষতিগ্রস্থ পরিবারগুলিকে অর্থ প্রদান করবে। সারা দেশে প্রায় ৩০,২৬৭ পরিবার এই জরুরি সহায়তা পাবে।
প্রতিটি পরিবার ১,৫০০ টাকা করে পাবে যা তাদের দুই সপ্তাহের জন্য প্রয়োজনীয় খাদ্য এবং অন্যান্য জরুরি প্রয়োজনীয় জিনিস কিনতে সহায়তা করবে।
গত রবিবার, ১লা আগস্ট ২০২১, শুরু হওয়া এই প্রকল্পের অর্থ বিতরণ আগস্টের দ্বিতীয় সপ্তাহের মধ্যে সম্পন্ন হবে বলে সংবাদ বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে জানানো হয়।
কোভিড সংক্রমণের উচ্চ ঝুঁকিতে থাকা এবং কঠোর লকডাউনের অধীনে থাকা দশটি জেলাকে এই উদ্যোগে অগ্রাধিকার দেওয়া হবে। জেলাগুলো হলোঃ খুলনা, সাতক্ষীরা, বগুড়া, মাগুরা, দিনাজপুর, নাটোর, জয়পুরহাট, বাগেরহাট, চুয়াডাঙ্গা এবং চট্টগ্রাম।
বাংলাদেশ ব্যাংকের বিআরপিডি সার্কুলার নং ২৯ অনুযায়ী, মোট তহবিলের ৫০ শতাংশ খুলনা ও রাজশাহী বিভাগের জেলাগুলোতে এবং বাকি ৫০ শতাংশ অন্যান্য বিভাগের জেলাগুলোয় বরাদ্দ করতে হবে। বিআরপিডি সার্কুলার লেটার নং ০৯ অনুযায়ী বিভাগ-ওয়ারী বরাদ্দকৃত অর্থের ৫০ শতাংশ সিটি কর্পোরেশন এলাকাসমূহের বস্তিবাসী, ছিন্নমূল এবং করোনাভাইরাস সংক্রমণের কারণে সাময়িকভাবে বেকার হয়ে পড়া ব্যক্তিদের পরিবারের জন্য এবং অবশিষ্ট ৫০ শতাংশ জেলা/উপজেলা/ইউনিয়ন পর্যায়ে বিভিন্ন জেলার হতদরিদ্র, সাময়িক কর্মহীন এবং প্রান্তিক জনগোষ্ঠী যারা করোনাভাইরাসজনিত রোগ বিস্তারের কারণে স্বাভাবিক জীবন-জীবিকা নির্বাহে অসমর্থ বা ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত হচ্ছেন তাদের জন্য ব্যয় করতে হবে।
ব্র্যাকের দক্ষ মাঠকর্মীরা কঠোর প্রক্রিয়া অনুসরণ করে সহায়তাগ্রহণকারী পরিবারগুলো চিহ্নিত করেছেন। প্রবীণ সদস্য সহ পরিবার, গর্ভবতী এবং স্তন্যদানকারী মা, বিশেষ চাহিদাসম্পন্ন ব্যক্তি, নারীদের উপার্জনের উপর নির্ভরশীল পরিবার, অতি দরিদ্র পরিবার এবং যারা অন্যান্য উৎস থেকে সহায়তা পাননি তাদেরকে এই উদ্যোগে অগ্রাধিকার দেয়া হবে।
ব্র্যাকের এক্সিকিউটিভ ডিরেক্টর আসিফ সালেহ বলেন, “ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের এই সময়োপযোগী সহায়তা অবশ্যই প্রশংসার দাবীদার। এর ফলে ব্র্যাকের ‘ডাকছে আবার দেশ’ উদ্যোগে সেই সকল অবহেলিত পরিবারের জন্য খাদ্য সহায়তা প্রদান সম্ভব হবে যাদের জন্য চলমান লকডাউন খুব কঠিন প্রমাণিত হচ্ছে। আমি আশা করছি যে আরও বেসরকারি প্রতিষ্ঠান সহযোগিতার জন্য এগিয়ে আসবে, যেন এই মহামারীর সময় অসহায় ও দুস্থ পরিবারগুলিকে আমরা একে অপরের শক্তি কাজে লাগিয়ে সাহায্য করতে পারি।”
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর অ্যান্ড সিইও সেলিম রেজা ফরহাদ হোসেন বলেন, “আমরা কোভিড-আক্রান্ত পরিবারদের সহায়তা করার বিষয়ে বাংলাদেশ ব্যাংকের সুচিন্তিত পরিকল্পনা ও নির্দেশনার জন্য ধন্যবাদ জানাই। তাদের দিক-নির্দেশনা অনুসরণ করে, প্রকৃত অভাবগ্রস্ত পরিবারের কাছে পৌঁছানোর এই বিশাল কাজ সম্পাদনে সহায়তা করার জন্য ব্র্যাক-কেও ধন্যবাদ জানাই। ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের লক্ষ্য সমাজের কেউ যেন পিছিয়ে না থাকে, আর তাই যেকোনো কঠিন সময়ে দেশের মানুষের পাশে দাঁড়াতে আমরা দৃঢ় প্রতিজ্ঞাবদ্ধ।"
গত বছর, ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের কর্মীরা তাদের আগস্ট মাসের বেতন থেকে ১.৭৩ কোটি টাকা অবদান রেখেছিল ব্র্যাকের 'ডাক আমার দেশ' উদ্যোগে জরুরি খাদ্য সহায়তা হিসেবে।


Dhaka, Sunday, August 8, 2021: The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) with partners FMO, Visa, and the Government of Canada have recently announced the winners of the Women Enterprise Recovery Fund.
BRAC Bank was named a winner among the 10 recipients of the fund in the Asia-Pacific region.
The winners include technology providers, FinTechs, and commercial banks and will receive financial and technical support over the next 12 months to pilot and test their innovations.
BRAC Bank proposed its SME Bondhu product for funding. SME Bondhu will pilot a one-stop digital solution for MSMEs in Bangladesh for the seamless set-up of online stores, including access to digital tools for their businesses, such as an integrated logistics facility and payment gateway solutions.
"We want to provide solutions that will support women entrepreneurs to access and use digital solutions and finance technologies that support business recovery and growth," said Syed Abdul Momen, Deputy Managing Director and Head of SME Banking, BRAC Bank.
"The economic fallout due to COVID-19 has been extremely unfavorable for the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and women entrepreneurs have been disproportionately impacted. With the support of the Women Enterprise Recovery Fund, we aim to bridge the digital and financial divides that women MSMEs face", he added.
To support the economic recovery and digitalization of these enterprises, ESCAP and UNCDF launched the Women Enterprise Recovery Fund earlier this year.
The fund looks to partner with private sector innovators to design and launch digital solutions that support women enterprises economically impacted by COVID-19 and address their financial and other business requirements. It also seeks to support the development and expansion of digital business models to alleviate financial and other constraints impacting women enterprises in South and South-East Asia.
Of the 83 applications received, 17 were shortlisted to move to the final round of decision-making. Shortlisted applicants were provided mentoring and pitch preparation assistance to strengthen their business models for potential funding.

"ব্যাংকের জন্য টেকসই হওয়ার মূল চাবিকাঠি হল তার সিএসআর (সামাজিক দায়বদ্ধতা) কর্মসূচির বাইরেও কৌশলগতভাবে গ্রীণ এবং টেকসই অর্থায়নে অবদান রাখা। এর বাইরে, প্রাতিষ্ঠানিক স্বচ্ছতা নিশ্চিত করার জন্য নিয়ন্ত্রক কর্তৃপক্ষের কাছে সময় মতো প্রতিবেদন দাখিল, পরিবেশগত ও সামাজিক ব্যবস্থাপনা ব্যবস্থার কার্যকারিতার মাধ্যমে ঝুঁকি প্রশমন এবং নিয়ন্ত্রক কর্তৃপক্ষের নির্দেশাবলীর যথাযথ বাস্তবায়ন করতে হবে"।

Dhaka, Monday, August 23, 2021: Financial sector experts have suggested that banks and MFIs together would pave a better way to achieve the goal of financial inclusion in Bangladesh.
This came at a BRAC Bank-organized webinar on the “impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the microfinance industry” recently. The webinar titled “Microfinance Institution Sector: Impact of Pandemic Challenges and Way Forward” brought together some of the top stakeholders of the MFI sector on a virtual platform on Wednesday, August 18, 2021.
Dr. Qazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmad, Chairman of Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation(PKSF), and Md. Fashiullah, Executive Vice Chairman of the Microcredit Regulatory Authority (MRA), joined the discussion as honorable guests.
Murshed Alam Sarker, Executive Director of People's Oriented Program Implementation (POPI) and Chairman of CDF; Dr. Humaira Islam, PhD, Executive Director of Shakti Foundation for Disadvantage Women; Selim RF Hussain, Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank; and Syed Abdul Momen, Deputy Managing Director and Head of SME Banking of BRAC Bank; also participated in the webinar as panel speakers.
The speakers discussed the effect of COVID on the MFI industry, and also shaded lights on the challenges, and ways forward to ensure the sustainability of this sector. They all recommended that banks and MFIs should aim for more collaborations to elevate financial inclusion.
Humaira Islam, said, "Banks, as one of the prime sources of financing, should also consider the bottom of the pyramid of the MFI sector and create partnerships to help them recover from this situation". She also said, "Regulatory authorities should redesign the pre-pandemic parameters to evaluate the MFIs, and guide them to maintain an efficient balance sheet."
Murshed Alam Sarker said, "MFI ensures financial access for those whom banks can't reach. MFIs are the bank of the extremely poor; hence they should be included under emergency services during challenging times such as a lockdown."
Md. Fashiullah appreciated that BRAC Bank arranged the dialog as he believes that the MFI sector players will need more such dialogues to overcome the temporary loss they faced due to COVID. He said, "The MFI sector is a major player in the country's economy, with a transaction volume of around 150,000 crore taka a year. Banks contribute around 20 per cent in this sector, and I must say that it is enormous! However, we must also focus on digitization as it will be a key solution to MFI financing issues." He added, "Our job is to stand by the marginalized people at any time. If we can work with the interests of MFIs, then the interests of our people will be protected."
Selim RF Hussain said, "We would also emphasize a partnership between the banking and MFI sector. I'm happy to inform you that BRAC Bank is the largest collateral-free financier in the country, and around 52 per cent of our customers belong to the small and medium sector. We are already working with some MFIs of various sizes and we will be happy to extend our collaborations. We look forward to bridging the gap between the two most prominent sectors."
Dr. Qazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmad emphasized that SMEs and CMEs should be differentiated and not grouped under CMSME as their needs and models are different. He said, "Our regulatory authorities have to be realistic to be able to move in the right direction in policymaking. MFIs are the only institutions that can reach the small family economies. Development does not refer to economic development only; capacity development is also a big part of development. It requires adequate education, healthcare support, and training for people. Social development and economic progress must go in hand. We must have unity, strengthen our partnerships so that we can all reach our goals of financial inclusion."
The webinar was broadcast live on the BRAC Bank Facebook page.
আর্থিক অন্তর্ভুক্তি অর্জনে ব্যাংক ও এমএফআইকে অংশীদারিত্বের ভিত্তিতে কাজ করতে হবেঃ ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ওয়েবিনারে বিশেষজ্ঞদের অভিমত
ঢাকা, সোমবার, ২৩শে আগস্ট ২০২১: বাংলাদেশে আর্থিক অন্তর্ভুক্তির লক্ষ্য অর্জনের জন্য ব্যাংক এবং মাইক্রোফাইন্যান্স ইনস্টিটিউশন-এর একসঙ্গে আরও ভালো ভাবে কাজ করার পরামর্শ দিয়েছেন আর্থিক খাতের বিশেষজ্ঞরা। সম্প্রতি ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের আয়োজনে ‘মাইক্রোফাইন্যান্স খাতে কোভিড-১৯-এর প্রভাব’ নিয়ে একটি ওয়েবিনারে তারা এই অভিমত ব্যক্ত করেন।
মাইক্রোফাইন্যান্স সেক্টরের শীর্ষস্থানীয় কয়েকজন নীতিনির্ধারক ও সংশ্লিষ্ট অভিজ্ঞদের অংশগ্রহণে “মাইক্রোফাইন্যান্স ইনস্টিটিউশন সেক্টর: প্যানডেমিক চ্যালেঞ্জেস অ্যান্ড ওয়ে ফরওয়ার্ড” শিরোনামের ওয়েবিনারটি গত ১৮ই আগস্ট, বুধবার, একটি ভার্চুয়াল প্ল্যাটফর্মে অনুষ্ঠিত হয়।
ভার্চুয়াল এই সেমিনারে সম্মানিত অতিথি হিসেবে আলোচনায় যোগ দেন পল্লী কর্ম-সহায়ক ফাউন্ডেশনের (পিকেএসএফ) চেয়ারম্যান ড. কাজী খলীকুজ্জমান আহমদ এবং মাইক্রোক্রেডিট রেগুলেটরি অথরিটির (এমআরএ) এক্সিকিউটিভ ভাইস চেয়ারম্যান মো. ফসিউল্লাহ।
পিপলস্ ওরিয়েন্টেড প্রোগ্রাম ইমপ্লিমেন্টেশন (পপি) এর নির্বাহী পরিচালক ও সিডিএফ-এর চেয়ারম্যান মোরশেদ আলম সরকার, শক্তি ফাউন্ডেশনের প্রতিষ্ঠাতা ও নির্বাহী পরিচালক ডা. হুমায়রা ইসলাম পিএইচডি, ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর অ্যান্ড সিইও সেলিম রেজা ফরহাদ হোসেন, এবং ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ডিএমডি ও হেড অফ এসএমই ব্যাংকিং সৈয়দ আবদুল মোমেন প্যানেল স্পিকার হিসেবে আলোচনায় অংশ নেন।
সেমিনারে মাইক্রোফাইন্যান্স শিল্পে কোভিডের প্রভাব এবং এর প্রতিবন্ধকতা ও চ্যালেঞ্জ নিয়ে আলোচনা করা হয়। কিভাবে এই খাতকে টেকসই উন্নয়নের মাধ্যমে এগিয়ে নিয়ে যাওয়া যায় তা নিয়ে কথা বলেন বক্তারা। তাদের সকলেই অভিমত দেন যে আর্থিক অন্তর্ভুক্তি বাস্তবায়নের জন্য ব্যাংক এবং এমএফআই-কে অংশীদারিত্বের ভিত্তিতে এবং একসাথে কাজ করা উচিত।
ডা. হুমায়রা ইসলাম বলেন, “অর্থায়নের অন্যতম প্রধান উৎস হিসেবে ব্যাংকের উচিৎ এমএফআই খাতের প্রান্তিক প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলোর সাথে অংশীদারিত্ব তৈরি করে বর্তমান অবস্থা থেকে তাদেরকে পুনরুদ্ধারের জন্য চেষ্টা করা।” তিনি আরও বলেন, “রেগুলেটরি অথরিটির উচিত এমএফআইদের মূল্যায়ন করার জন্য প্রাক-মহামারী মানদন্ডগুলো পুনর্বিবেচনা করে তাদেরকে একটি কার্যকর আর্থিক স্থিতাবস্থা বজায় রাখার জন্য প্রয়োজনীয় দিকনির্দেশনা দেয়া।”
মোরশেদ আলম সরকার বলেন, "মাইক্রোফাইন্যান্স প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলো সেখানেই আর্থিক নিশ্চয়তা প্রদান করে যেখানে ব্যাংক পৌঁছাতে পারে না। এমএফআই হলো অতিদরিদ্র মানুষের ব্যাংক। তাই লকডাউনের মতো কঠিন সময়ে তাদেরকেও জরুরি পরিষেবার আওতায় বিবেচনা করা উচিত।"
মো. ফসিউল্লাহ ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের এই আয়োজনের প্রশংসা করে বলেন, “কোভিডের কারণে সাময়িক ক্ষতির সম্মুখীন হওয়ার জন্য এমএফআইদের নিয়ে এই ধরনের আরও সংলাপের প্রয়োজন হবে।" তিনি বলেন, "এমএফআই সেক্টর দেশের অর্থনীতির অন্যতম শক্তি, যেখানে বছরে প্রায় এক লক্ষ পঞ্চাশ হাজার কোটি টাকার লেনদন হয়। এর মধ্যে ব্যাংকিং খাতের অবদান প্রায় ২০ শতাংশ। এটা কিন্তু কম কথা নয়! এছাড়া আমাদের ডিজিটাইজেশনের দিকেও মনযোগী হতে হবে কারণ এমএফআই অর্থায়নের সমস্যা নিরসনে এটি প্রধান নিয়ামকের ভূমিকা নিবে।” তিনি আরও বলেন, “আমাদের কাজ হল যে কোন সময়ে প্রান্তিক মানুষের পাশে দাঁড়ানো। আমরা যদি এমএফআইয়ের স্বার্থ নিয়ে কাজ করতে পারি, তাহলে আমাদের জনগণের স্বার্থও সুরক্ষিত হবে।”
সেলিম রেজা ফরহাদ হোসেন বলেন, “আমরা ব্যাংকিং এবং এমএফআই সেক্টরের মধ্যে অংশীদারিত্বের উপর আরও জোর দেব। আপনারা জেনে খুশি হবেন যে, ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক দেশের সবচেয়ে বড় জামানতবিহীন ঋণ প্রদানকারী আর্থিক প্রতিষ্ঠান এবং আমাদের প্রায় ৫২ শতাংশ গ্রাহকই ক্ষুদ্র ও মাঝারি গোত্রের। আমরা ইতোমধ্যে বেশি কিছু মাইক্রোফিয়ান্যান্স প্রতিষ্ঠানের সাথে কাজ করছি এবং এই সংখ্যা বাড়াতে পারলে আমরা খুশিই হবো। আমরা চাই দেশের এই প্রধান দুটি খাতের মধ্যে ব্যবধান দূর করতে।”
ড. কাজী খলীকুজ্জমান আহমদ এসএমই এবং সিএমই-দের পৃথকীকরণের উপর জোর দেন। তিনি জানান যে কেবল সিএমএসএমই-এর অধীনে এই দুটি খাতকে এক করা উচিত নয় কারণ তাদের চাহিদা এবং কাজের ধরণ অনেকখানিই ভিন্ন। তিনি বলেন, “আমাদের নীতিনির্ধারকদের যেকোন সিদ্ধান্ত নেয়ার আগে বাস্তবসম্মত চিন্তাধারায় এগোতে হবে। এমএফআই প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলোই কিন্তু অতি ক্ষুদ্র ও ক্ষুদ্র সমাজের মানুষদের কাছে পৌছাতে পারে। উন্নয়ন বলতে কিন্তু কেবল অর্থনৈতিক উন্নয়নকে বোঝায় না, সক্ষমতা বৃদ্ধিও উন্নয়নের একটা বড় অংশ। আর এর জন্য প্রয়োজন পর্যাপ্ত শিক্ষা, স্বাস্থ্যসেবা এবং প্রশিক্ষণ। সামাজিক উন্নয়ন এবং অর্থনৈতিক অগ্রগতি অবশ্যই একসাথে হতে হবে। আমাদের মধ্যে ঐক্যবোধ আরও দৃঢ় করতে হবে, অংশীদারিত্বকে আরও শক্তিশালী করতে হবে যেন আমরা সবাই আর্থিক অন্তর্ভুক্তির অভীষ্ট লক্ষ্যে পৌঁছাতে পারি।”
ওয়েবিনারটি ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ফেসবুক পেজ থেকে সরাসরি সম্প্রচার করা হয়।

‘ডাকছে আবার দেশ’-এর জন্য ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক কর্মীদের ১.৬৫ কোটি টাকার তহবিল
ঢাকা, বুধবার, ২৫ আগস্ট, ২০২১: আরও একবার করোনা মহামারির কারণে কর্মহীন হয়ে পড়া অসহায় ও দুস্থ মানুষের পাশে দাঁড়িয়েছে দেশের অন্যতম বেসরকারি আর্থিক প্রতিষ্ঠান ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক-এর কর্মীরা।
ব্যাংকটির কর্মীরা তাদের মাসের বেতন থেকে এই অর্থ সহায়তা প্রদান করেছে। তাদের উদ্যোগে প্রায় ১ কোটি ৬৫ লক্ষ টাকা ব্র্যাকের ‘ডাকছে আবার দেশ’ তহবিলে প্রদান করা হয়েছে বলে এক সংবাদ বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে জানানো হয়।
কর্মীদের এই সহায়তার মাধ্যমে ১১,০০০ দুস্থ পরিবার কমপক্ষে দুই সপ্তাহের জন্য তাদের খাবার ও অন্যান্য প্রয়োজনীয়তা মেটাতে সক্ষম হবেন।
এর আগে ব্র্যাকের ‘ডাকছে আবার দেশ’ তহবিলে করোনায় ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত পরিবারকে সহায়তার জন্য সামাজিক দায়বদ্ধতা (সিএসআর) তহবিল থেকে ৪ কোটি ৫৪ লক্ষ টাকা বরাদ্দ করেছিলো ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। আগস্ট মাসের প্রথম দুই সপ্তাহে এই তহবিল থেকে দেশের প্রায় ৩০,২৬৭ পরিবারকে সহায়তা প্রদান করা হয়।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ডেপুটি ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর ও চিফ ফিন্যান্সিয়াল অফিসার এম মাসুদ রানা বলেন, “আমাদের কর্মীরা যে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের মূল্যবোধ-ভিত্তিক ব্যাংকিং পরিচালনার মূলমন্ত্রে উদ্বুদ্ধ হয়ে এ ধরণের উদ্যোগে সক্রিয় অংশ নিচ্ছেন, তাতে আমরা সত্যিই আনন্দিত। মহামারীর দ্বিতীয় বছরে এই নিয়ে দ্বিতীয়বারের মতো অসহায় মানুষদের সহায়তায় আমাদের সহকর্মীরা এগিয়ে এসেছেন।”
ব্যাংকের কর্মীরা গত বছরও ব্র্যাকের ‘‘কোভিড-১৯: খাদ্য সংকট মোকাবিলা’ তহবিলে ১ কোটি ৭৩ লক্ষ টাকার সহায়তা প্রদান করেছিলো। এ বছরের শুরুতে সিএসআর তহবিল থেকে কোভিড-১৯-এ ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত দরিদ্রদের সহায়তার জন্য প্রধানমন্ত্রীর ত্রাণ ও কল্যাণ তহবিলে ৫ কোটি টাকা অনুদান দিয়েছিল ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক।


Dhaka, Saturday, August 27, 2021: BRAC Bank has maintained a steady rating from Moody’s Investors Service Ba3, even amid the ongoing turmoil from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Moody's, one of the Big Three credit rating agencies, has changed the outlook from 'negative' to 'stable' for BRAC Bank. They have also affirmed the long-term local and foreign currency deposit and issuer ratings of BRAC Bank at Ba3, for the fifth consecutive year, said a press release.
The stable outlook on BRAC Bank reflects Moody’s expectation that Bangladesh’s robust economic growth and the pandemic-related forbearance measures that eased the debt repayment burden of affected borrowers, will limit the bank’s asset quality deterioration, and support its solvency over the next 12 to 18 months.
The affirmation of BRAC Bank’s ratings reflects its above-peer average capital position and asset quality, which offsets its moderate profitability. The funding structure is strong and has improved, backed by its established domestic franchise, Moody's reported.
“We are pleased to receive this news, especially given the abundance of financial challenges resulted due to Covid-19,” said Selim RF Hussain, Managing Director and CEO of BRAC Bank.
“BRAC Bank has a solid ground, records of financial stability and prudent financial management, and we are committed to continuing that legacy – even under difficult circumstances”, he added.
According to Moody's, BRAC Bank’s capital will remain stronger than rated peers’ over the next 12 to 18 months, as internal capital generation keeps pace with loan growth. Its tangible common equity is the highest among rated local peers. BRAC Bank's asset quality will remain superior because of the less-risky nature of its granular small and medium enterprise (SME)-oriented portfolio. Stressed assets (nonperforming loans, rescheduled, and stay order loans) as per cent of gross loans (stressed assets ratio) as of the end of June 2021 is the lowest among rated peers and comparable with the bank’s pre-pandemic levels.
It is mentionable that BRAC Bank is the only Bangladeshi bank having a Sovereign equivalent rating of Ba3.
আবারও মুডি'স-এর সর্বোচ্চ রেটিং পেলো ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক, উন্নীত হয়েছে দৃষ্টিভঙ্গিও
ঢাকা, শনিবার, ২৮শে আগস্ট ২০২১: কোভিড -১৯-এর চলমান অস্থিরতার মধ্যেও ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক মুডি'স ইনভেস্টরস সার্ভিস থেকে স্থিতিশীল রেটিং বজায় রেখেছে।
বিশ্বের বিগ থ্রি ক্রেডিট রেটিং এজেন্সিগুলোর একটি, মুডি'স, ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ভবিষ্যত দৃষ্টিভঙ্গির যে আভাস সেটি 'নেতিবাচক' থেকে 'স্থিতিশীল' মূল্যায়ন করেছে। এছাড়া মুডি'স এই নিয়ে পঞ্চমবারের মতো ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের দীর্ঘমেয়াদী স্থানীয় ও বৈদেশিক মুদ্রা আমানত এবং ইস্যুকারী 'বিএ৩' রেটিং নিশ্চিত করেছে, এক সংবাদ বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে জানানো হয়।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের স্থিতিশীল দৃষ্টিভঙ্গি মুডি'স এর এই প্রত্যাশা প্রতিফলিত করে যে, বাংলাদেশের শক্তিশালী অর্থনৈতিক প্রবৃদ্ধি এবং মহামারী-সম্পর্কিত সহনশীল ব্যবস্থা গ্রহণের ফলে ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত ঋণগ্রহীতাদের ঋণ পরিশোধের ভার লাঘব হবে, ব্যাংকের সম্পদের গুণগত মান স্থির রাখতে সহায়তা করবে এবং আগামী ১২ থেকে ১৮ মাসের মধ্যে তারা আর্থিক সক্ষমতা অর্জন করবে।
মুডি'স-এর প্রতিবেদনে আরও উল্লেখ করা হয় যে, ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের রেটিং একই খাতের অন্যান্য প্রতিষ্ঠানের তুলনায় শক্তিশালী মূলধন অবস্থান এবং সম্পদের গুণমানের প্রতিফলন, যা ব্যাংকটির মাঝারি লাভজনক অবস্থানের তুলনায় অত্যন্ত গুরূত্বপূর্ণ। মুডি'স জানিয়েছে যে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের তহবিল কাঠামো বেশ শক্তিশালী এবং ব্যাংকটির সহযোগী প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলোর শক্ত অবস্থান দ্বারা সমর্থিত।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর অ্যান্ড সিইও সেলিম রেজা ফরহাদ হোসেন বলেন, "কোভিড-১৯-এর কঠিন কঠিন সমস্যার মোকাবেলা করে এই অর্জনে আমরা আনন্দিত।" তিনি বলেন, "ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের একটি শক্ত ভিত্তি, আর্থিক স্থিতিশীলতা এবং বিচক্ষণ আর্থিক ব্যবস্থাপনার রেকর্ড রয়েছে এবং আমরা সেই ধারা, এমনকি কঠিন পরিস্থিতির মধ্যেও, অব্যাহত রাখতে প্রতিশ্রুতিবদ্ধ।"
মুডি'স-এর মতে, আগামী ১২ থেকে ১৮ মাসে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের মূলধন একই খাতের রেটিং-এর আওতাভুক্ত অন্যান্য প্রতিষ্ঠানের তুলনায় বেশ শক্তিশালী থাকবে, কারণ এর অভ্যন্তরীণ মূলধন উৎপাদন ঋণ বৃদ্ধির সাথে তাল মিলিয়ে চলেছে। রেটিং-এর আওতায় থাকা অন্যান্য প্রতিষ্ঠানের তুলনায় এর বাস্তব সম্পদ সর্বোচ্চ। ক্ষুদ্র ও মাঝারি উদ্যোগের (এসএমই) ভিত্তিক পোর্টফোলিওর কারণে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের সম্পদের গুণমান কম ঝুঁকিপূর্ণ প্রকৃতির। স্ট্রেসড সম্পদ (যেমনঃ ঝুঁকিপূর্ণ ঋণ, ঋণ পুনঃতফসিল এবং স্থগিতাদেশপ্রাপ্ত ঋণ) মোট ঋণের শতাংশ হিসাবে (স্ট্রেসড সম্পদের অনুপাত) জুন ২০২১ পর্যন্ত রেটিং-এর আওতায় আসা অন্যান্য প্রতিষ্ঠনগুলোর মধ্যে সর্বনিম্ন এবং ব্যাংকের মহামারী-পূর্ব অবস্থার সাথে সামঞ্জস্যপূর্ণ।
এখানে উল্লেখযোগ্য যে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক একমাত্র বাংলাদেশি ব্যাংক যা বিএ৩-এর সার্বভৌম রেটিং মান বজায় রাখতে পেরেছে।

BRAC Bank organized a roundtable discussion where the bank’s corporate customers have exchanged views with the high officials of National Board of Revenue (NBR) about their experience of paying VAT and other duties online.
Kazi Mostafizur Rahman, VAT Online Project Director (Commissioner) of NBR was the chief guest at the roundtable titled “Enhancing Customer Experience for online VAT Payment through API Connectivity” held at the bank’s head office in Dhaka on November 4, 2021.

Earlier in July 2021, BRAC Bank became the first private commercial bank in Bangladesh to join NBR’s online VAT payments system through API connectivity enabling the bank’s business customers to pay VAT and other taxes digitally. Using this facility, the bank’s Corporate Clients are paying their VAT, VDS, and supplementary duty directly from their respective BRAC Bank accounts with real-time data validation with NBR using CORPnet, BRAC Bank's unique internet banking platform for Corporate Customers.
This integration saves a lot of time, money and energy of the clients who now do not need to visit bank or tax office to make payment to the government coffer. NBR’s initiative taken in light of the government's vision of a Digital Bangladesh, has resultantly strengthened its revenue mobilization drive.
The corporate clients and the management of the NBR took part in the discussion on how to build on the success of the first phase of the ‘Online VAT Payment Project’ to ensure its widespread adoption and elevate the customer experience.
Commenting on the initiative, Tareq Refat Ullah Khan said: “This government and private sector dialogue provides a unique opportunity for our valued clients to offer their suggestions and feedback so that NBR can consider incorporating those insights in next phase of the project. With such discussion we can help enhance user experience and encourage more organizations to use the digital system in paying VAT and taxes to the government exchequer.”

এ বছরের জুলাইয়ে দেশের প্রথম বেসরকারি ব্যাংক হিসেবে এপিআইি এর মাধ্যমে রাজস্ব বোর্ডের অনলাইন ভ্যাট পেমেন্ট সিস্টেমের সাথে সংযুক্ত হয় ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। এর ফলে ব্যাংকের গ্রাহকরা অনলাইনে ভ্যাট ও অন্যান্য কর পরিশোধ করার সুবিধা পান। কর্পোরেট গ্রাহকদের জন্য ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর ইন্টারনেট ব্যাংকিং ‘কর্পনেট’ ব্যবহার করে কর্পোরেট গ্রাহকরা তাদের ব্যাংক অ্যাকাউন্ট থেকে সরাসরি ভ্যাট, ভিডিএস ও সাপ্লিমেন্টারি ডিউটি পরিশোধ করতে পারছেন।
এই সিস্টেম সংযুক্ত হবার ফলে ব্যাংকের অফিসে বা কর অফিসে না গিয়েও কর্পোরেট গ্রাহকরা ডিজিটাল পদ্ধতিতে সরকারের কোষাগারে কর প্রদান করতে পারছেন। এর ফলে সময়, অর্থ ও পরিশ্রমের সাশ্রয় হচ্ছে। এ উদ্যোগ সরকারের ডিজিটাল বাংলাদেশ স্বপ্নকল্পের সাথে সঙ্গতিপূর্ণ এবং এর ফলে রাজস্ব বোর্ডের ভ্যাট ও কর আদায় পদ্ধতি আরও সমৃদ্ধ হয়েছে।
‘অনলাইন ভ্যাট পেমেন্ট প্রজেক্ট’ এর প্রথম পর্যায়কে সফল করতে, এর ব্যবহার আরও বৃদ্ধি করতে ও ব্যবহারকারীদের অভিজ্ঞতা আরও উন্নত করার উদ্দেশ্য নিয়ে কর্পোরেট গ্রাহক ও রাজস্ব বোর্ডের কমর্কর্তাদের মধ্যে এ আলোচনার আয়োজন করা হয়।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর ডেপুটি ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর ও হেড অব কর্পোরেট ব্যাংকিং তারেক রেফাত উল্লাহ খান বলেন, “এই সরকার ও বেসরকারি খাতের মধ্যকার এ আলোচনা আমাদের কর্পোরেট গ্রাহকদের অনলাইন ভ্যাট প্রদান সিস্টেম সম্পর্কে পরামর্শ ও মতামত দেবার সুযোগ দিচ্ছে। যার ফলে রাজস্ব বোর্ড প্রকল্পের পরবর্তী পর্যায়ে এ পরামর্শগুলো অন্তর্ভুক্ত করতে বিবেচনায় নিতে পারবে। এ ধরনের আলোচনার মাধ্যমে গ্রাহক অভিজ্ঞতা উৎকর্ষ করা করা যাবে এবং এ অনলাইন পদ্ধতি ব্যবহারের মাধ্যমে সরকারি কোষাগারে কর পরিশোধ করতে আরও ব্যবসায়িক প্রতিষ্ঠানসমূহকে উদ্বুদ্ধ করা যাবে।”

The platform will also support the digitization needs of SMEs in Bangladesh by making them easily discoverable, using a patented digital business card and making them ecommerce-ready.
BRAC Bank ran a detailed survey during the peak of the pandemic and found out a need for a solution to connect amongst themselves to ensure their value chain isn’t disrupted. Accordingly, BRAC Bank felt that GlobalLinker would provide the platform that the bank could offer, in an integrated way, to support not only its own SME clients but to other SMEs in general in the country.
Selim R. F. Hussain, MD and CEO of BRAC Bank, said at the signing ceremony: “The bank has always been at the forefront of supporting SMEs with financial inclusion that is so fundamental to both BRAC Bank and its parent organization BRAC. For the last 20 years, BRAC Bank has been a financier to these grassroots SMEs and helped them move up the value chain from a cottage industry to an established business.

ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ও গ্লোবাললিংকার চালু করতে যাচ্ছে বাংলাদেশের প্রথম এসএমই নেটওয়ার্কিং প্ল্যাটফর্ম
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ও গ্লোবাললিংকার ক্ষুদ্র ও মাঝারি উদ্যোক্তাদের (এসএমই) জন্য বাংলাদেশের প্রথম নেটওয়ার্কিং প্ল্যাটফর্ম চালু করতে সম্মত হয়েছে। এই ডিজিটাল প্ল্যাটফর্মের মাধ্যমে এসএমই উদ্যোক্তারা একে অন্যের সাথে যোগাযোগ করতে পারবেন এবং ব্যবসায় আরও সমৃদ্ধশালী হতে পারবেন। গ্লোবাললিংকার একটি শীর্ষস্থানীয় এসএমই বিজনেস নেটওয়ার্কিং ও এনয়েবেলমেন্ট প্ল্যাটফর্ম।
ভারত ভিত্তিক গ্লোবাললিংকার ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর এসএমই গ্রাহকদের আইটি অবকাঠামো স্থাপনসহ বিশ্বব্যাপী চার লাখের বেশি এসএমই প্রতিষ্ঠানের সাথে যোগাযোগ স্থাপনের সুযোগ সৃষ্টি করবে। প্রোডাক্ট ক্যাটালগ ডিজিটাইজেশন ও পেমেন্ট সিস্টেম ইন্টিগ্রেশন করে এসএমই প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলোকে ই-কমার্সের জন্য উপযোগী করতে সাহায্য করবে গ্লোবাললিংকার।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর সাথে কো-ব্র্যান্ডেড এই ডিজিটাল প্ল্যাটফর্মের সাহায্যে চার লাখ এসএমই উদ্যোক্তা পরস্পরের মধ্যে সংযোগ স্থাপন করে ভ্যালু চেইন শক্তিশালী করতে পারবে। এর ফলে অর্থনৈতিক প্রতিবন্ধকতা মোকাবিলা করে সামনে এগিয়ে যেতে পারবে। প্যাটেন্টেড ডিজিটাল বিজনেস ব্যবহার করা হবে। ডিজিটাল প্ল্যাটফর্ম ব্যবহার করায় এসএমই প্রতিষ্ঠানসমূহকে সহজে খুঁজে পাওয়া যাবে। তাদের ই-কমার্স ব্যবসা চালুর পথ সুগম হবে।
মহামারীর সময় ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর পরিচালিত এক জরিপে উঠে আসে যে, এসএমই’দের নিজেদের মধ্যে সংযোগ স্থাপন করার জন্য একটি সলুশন প্রয়োজন, যাতে কোন দুর্যোগে ভালু চেইন বাধাগ্রস্থ না হয়। ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক মনে করে, গ্লোবাললিংকার এর প্ল্যাটফর্মের সাহায্যে শুধু ব্যাংকের এসএমই গ্রাহকদেরই নয়, পুরো দেশের এসএমই’দের সহায়তা করা যাবে।
এ উদ্যোগ সম্পর্কে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর ও সিইও সেলিম আর. এফ. হোসেন বলেন, “এসএমই উদ্যোক্তাদেরকে অর্থনীতির মূলধারায় নিয়ে আসার প্রচেষ্টায় ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক সবসময়ই ভূমিকায় অগ্রগামী আছে। এই আর্থিক অন্তর্ভুক্তি কার্যক্রম ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ও এর মালিকানা প্রতিষ্ঠান - ব্র্যাক - এর ভিশনের সাথে সঙ্গতিপূর্ণ। গত ২০ বছর ধরে এই তৃণমূল পর্যায়ের উদ্যোক্তাদের অর্থায়ন করে আসছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। ভ্যালু চেইন উন্নত করার মাধ্যমে কুটির শিল্প থেকে প্রতিষ্ঠিত বৃহৎ ব্যবসায়ী প্রতিষ্ঠানে পরিণত হতে সাহায্য করে আসছে। গ্লোবাললিংকারের সাথে এ পার্টনারশিপের ফলে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক শুধুমাত্র অর্থায়নে সীমাবদ্ধ না থেকে এসএমই’দের ডিজিটাল পরিমন্ডলে নিয়ে আসবে এবং তাদের সাথে সম্পর্ক আরও দৃঢ় করবে। আমরা মনে করি, এর ফলে এসএমই উদ্যোক্তারা দেশের বাইরেও বাজার সৃষ্টি ও প্রসার করতে পারবেন।”
গ্লোবাললিংকার এর কো-ফাউন্ডার ও সিইও সামির ভাকিল বলেন, “সম্মিলিত প্রচেষ্টায় ও ব্যবসার বিস্তৃতি বাড়িয়ে এসএমই’দের বড় বড় স্বপ্নগুলো বাস্তবে রূপ দিতেই গ্লোবাললিংকার এর প্ল্যাটফর্মটি চালু করা হয়।”
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর সাথে পার্টনারশিপকে স্বাগত জানিয়ে তিনি আরও বলেন, “এক প্ল্যাটফর্মের সাথে অন্যটির সংযুক্তি থাকার ফলে এই ডিজিটাল প্ল্যাটফর্মে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর কোন গ্রাহক তাৎক্ষণিকভাবে গ্লোবাললিংকার এর চার লাখ এসএমই উদ্যোক্তার সাথে যোগাযোগ স্থাপন করতে পারবে। গ্লোবাললিংকার প্রক্সটেরার সাথে সংযুক্ত থাকায় এসএমই উদ্যোক্তারা প্রক্সটেরা’র ১০টি এসএমই বিজনেস-টু-বিজনেস প্ল্যাটফর্মের সাথে যুক্ত হতে পারবে।”
মনেটারি অথরিটি অব সিঙ্গাপুর এর চিফ ফিনটেক অফিসার সুপেন্দু মোহান্তি বলেন, “এটি খুবই আশাব্যঞ্জক যে, এসএমই উদ্যোক্তাদের ক্ষমতায়ন করতে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর মত শীর্ষস্থানীয় একটি ব্যাংক গ্লোবাললিংকারের মত প্ল্যাটফর্মের সাথে পার্টনারশিপ করেছে।”
তিনি আরও বলেন, “প্রক্সটেরা’ বিজনেস স্যান্স বর্ডার এর প্রতিনিধিত্ব করছে, যা, আমি মনে করি, এসএমই’দের জন্য আশার খবর। কিন্তু প্রায়শই অপর্যাপ্ত সম্পদের কারণে এসএমই প্রতিষ্ঠানসমূহ প্রতিবন্ধকতার মুখে পড়ে। ডিজিটাল অবকাঠামো সৃষ্টি তাদের জন্য নতুন সুযোগ সৃষ্টি করবে ও ব্যবসাকে সম্প্রসারণ করতে সাহায্য করবে।“
সিঙ্গাপুর ফিনটেক ফেস্টিভালকে সামনে রেখে গত ৮ নভেম্বর, ২০২১ ভার্চুয়াল মাধ্যমে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ও গ্লোবাললিংকার এর চুক্তি স্বাক্ষর সম্পন্ন হয়। এ অনুষ্ঠানে আরও উপস্থিত ছিলেন, ব্যাংকের ডিএমডি ও হেড অব এসএমই ব্যাংকিং সৈয়দ আব্দুল মোমেন, গ্লোবাললিংকার আশিয়ান অঞ্চলের প্রেসিডেন্ট সাত্যম আগারওয়াল, মনেটারি অথরিটি অব সিঙ্গাপুর এর ডেপুটি ডিরেক্টর ইউজিন গোহ, সিঙ্গাপুরের ইনফোকম মিডিয়া ডেভেলপমেন্ট অথরিটি’র ক্লাস্টার ডিরেক্টর রবার্ট টে, পিডব্লিউসি এর পার্টনার উইন্সটন নেসফিল্ড এবং প্রক্সটেরার প্রোগ্রাম ডিরেক্টর শিরিশ জৈন।

The compliance to boost customer confidence on banking safely

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Certification proves the bank’s strong commitment to safeguarding information and interests of the customers.
The certification process involves rigorous testing and compliance of systems and technology infrastructure and getting them aligned with international best practices. This certification means BRAC Bank is a place where customer information is safe and secured leaving no vulnerability to data theft and loss.
BRAC Bank organized a ceremony to celebrate the certification and recognize the officials for their contribution to achieving the certification. Managing Director and CEO Selim R. F. Hussain, Deputy Managing Director & COO Sabbir Hossain, Head of Information Security B. M. Zahid-Ul Haque and senior officials were present at the celebratory event on November 4, 2021.
Commenting on the certification, BRAC Bank Managing Director and CEO Selim R. F.

As part of our commitment to protect customers’ interests, BRAC Bank has embraced the Compliance Standard diligently, establishing compliance and setting risk assessment frameworks.

এ আগে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ইনফর্মেশন সিকিউরিটি ম্যানেজমেন্টে সক্ষমতার জন্য ২০১৭ সালে আইএসও ২৭০০১: ২০১৩ সার্টিফিকেশন এবং সিকিউরিটি অপারেশন্স ও সাইবার ফিউশন সেন্টারের জন্য ২০২০ সালে আইএসও ১৮৭৮৮ সার্টিফিকেশন অর্জন করে।

নারীর ক্ষমতায়ন ও আর্থিক অন্তর্ভুক্তিমূলক ব্যাংকিংয়ে অবদানের জন্য বিশ্ব ব্যাংকের প্রতিষ্ঠান ইন্টারন্যাশনাল ফাইন্যান্স কর্পোরেশন এবং লন্ডন ভিত্তিক ফাইন্যান্সিয়াল টাইমসের স্বীকৃতি পেল ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক নারী ব্যাংকিং ‘তারা’ (‘TARA’)।

এই আর্ন্তজাতিক সম্মাননা সম্পর্কে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর ব্যবস্থাপনা পরিচালক ও প্রধান নির্বাহী কর্মকর্তা সেলিম আর. এফ. হোসেন বলেন, “ফাইন্যান্সিয়াল টাইমস ও আইএফসি এর এই প্রশংসা ও সম্মাননা পেয়ে আমরা অত্যন্ত আনন্দিত। নারী উদ্যোগ ‘তারা’ (‘TARA’) এর মাধ্যমে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক দীর্ঘদিন যাবৎ নারী উদ্যোক্তাদের সামনে এগিয়ে নিতে কাজ করে যাচ্ছে। সহজ ব্যাংকিং সুবিধার মাধ্যমে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ‘তারা’ (‘TARA’) দেশের তৃণমূল পর্যায়ের সহস্র নারী উদ্যোক্তার ব্যবসায়িক স্বপ্নপূরণ করে আসছে। এই আর্ন্তজাতিক সম্মান দেশের সেরা ব্যাংক হবার অগ্রযাত্রায় ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক-কে আরও একধাপ এগিয়ে দেবে।”
দেশের ৮.১ কোটি প্রাপ্তবয়স্ক নারীর ৬৪ শতাংশেরই ব্যাংক অ্যাকাউন্ট নেই। নারীর ক্ষমতায়ন ও তাদেরকে অর্থনীতির মূলধারায় অন্তর্ভুক্ত করার লক্ষ্যে ২০১৭ সালে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক চালু করে দেশের প্রথম পূর্ণাঙ্গ নারী ব্যাংকিং সেবা ‘তারা’ (‘TARA’)। এতে আছে আকর্ষণীয় ইন্টারেস্টে সঞ্চয়ী হিসাব, নারী উদ্যোক্তাদের জন্য চলতি হিসাব, সঞ্চয়ের নানা সুবিধা, বিশেষ হারে বিজনেস ও রিটেইল লোন, প্রসেসিং ফি’তে ছাড় ও নিবেদিত গ্রাহক সেবা সহ নানাবিধ সুযোগ-সুবিধা।

দক্ষিণ এশিয়ার প্রতিবেশী দেশেগুলোর তুলনায় বাংলাদেশের জিডিপি প্রবৃদ্ধি বেশি হারে হচ্ছে। এর ফলে অর্থনৈতিক সুযোগ সৃষ্টি হওয়ায় দেশের অনেক নারী ব্যবসা শুরু করছেন। ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ‘তারা’ (‘TARA’) এই উদ্যোক্তাদের উন্নয়নের সহযোগী হিসেবে পাশে এসে দাঁড়িয়েছে। ফলশ্রুতিতে নারী উদ্যোক্তাদের অর্থায়ন খাতে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক গত কয়েক বছরে লক্ষ্যণীয় প্রবৃদ্ধি অর্জন করেছে।
নারীর ক্ষমতায়ন ও সচরাচর ব্যাংকিংয়ের আওতার বাইরে থাকা নারীদের ব্যবসায়িক উদ্যোগকে এগিয়ে নেবার জন্য বিশেষ প্রচেষ্টা ও উদ্ভাবনী আর্থিক সেবা গ্রহণের স্বীকৃতি দিয়েছে ২০২১ সালে প্রদানকৃত এ পুরস্কার। নারী উদ্যোক্তাদের জন্য নতুন সুযোগ সৃষ্টি ও তাদের জীবন পরিবর্তনের ক্ষেত্রে আইএফসি ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ‘তারা’ (‘TARA’) কে সমর্থন করে আসছে।

BRAC Bank has added yet another facility for its people by setting up a gymnasium at the bank’s head office.
The bank’s Managing Director and CEO Selim R. F. Hussain formally inaugurated the gym styled ‘Fitness Zone’ on December 19, 2021.
M Masud Rana FCA, Deputy Managing Director & CFO; Md. Sabbir Hossain, Deputy Managing Director & COO; Akhteruddin Mahmood, Head of Human Resources; Brigadier General Tushar Kanti Chakma (Retd.), Head of General Services; and other members of the senior management were present at the ceremony.
The objective of the putting up the gym is to help the bank’s human resources take care of their health and wellness. The gym is introduced at a time when the whole world has started to rethink human healthcare.
A fitness zone at the workplace brings great health benefits especially for the bankers, as the nature of the job requires them to stay seated in the office for a longer period.
Commenting on the initiative, Selim R. F. Hussain said: “The best aspect of life that we can offer to our people is to instill the realization of taking care of their own health. At BRAC Bank, we would like to make health and wellness a priority. A gym in the workplace also strengthens team bonding. We believe investment of time in the gym will provide great health dividend. The bank will continue to explore new facilities for our people.”
Health experts say workout enhances creativity, quickens learning process, sharpens memory and improves concentration, the vital qualities needed for workplace performance and career progression. Workouts energize body and soul and relieve stress providing vitality to life.
BRAC Bank has employed a full time trainer who will guide its people regarding their workout routine. Separate time slots have been fixed for the male and female co-workers prior and after office hours.
As a caring workplace, the bank also provides facilities for indoor games, daycare centre, canteen, library, health insurance, commuting facilities for its people.
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এ কর্মকর্তাদের জন্য ফিটনেস সেন্টারের উদ্বোধন
জিমনেসিয়াম চালুর মাধ্যমে কর্মকর্তাদের জন্য অফিসে সুযোগ-সুবিধার পরিধি আরও বিস্তৃত করলো ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর অ্যান্ড সিইও সেলিম আর. এফ. হোসেন ১৯ ডিসেম্বর, ২০২১ ঢাকায় প্রধান কার্যালয়ে জিমনেসিয়াম - ‘ফিটনেস জোন’ - আনুষ্ঠানিকভাবে উদ্বোধন করেন।
ডেপুটি ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর অ্যান্ড সিএফও এম. মাসুদ রানা, এফসিএ, ডেপুটি ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর অ্যান্ড সিওও মো: সাব্বির হোসেন, হেড অব হিউম্যান রিসোর্সেস আখতারউদ্দিন মাহমুদ, হেড অব জেনারেল সার্ভিসেস ব্রিগেডিয়ার জেনারেল তুষার কান্তি চাকমা (অব:) এবং উর্ধ্বতন কর্মকর্তাবৃন্দ এ সময় উপস্থিত ছিলেন।
কর্মকর্তাদের স্বাস্থ্য সুরক্ষায় সাহায্য করার লক্ষ্য নিয়ে এ জিমটি চালু করা হয়েছে। সারা বিশ্ব যখন স্বাস্থ্য সুরক্ষাকে নতুন দৃষ্টিভঙ্গিতে দেখা শুরু করেছে, তখন এই জিমটি চালু করা হলো।
ব্যাংকারদেরকে সাধারণত অফিসে দীর্ঘসময় সিটে বসে কাজ করতে হয়। তাই তাদের জন্য জিম অত্যন্ত প্রয়োজনীয় সুবিধা, যা তাদের স্বাস্থ্য সুরক্ষায় সাহায্য করে।
কর্মস্থলে জিম চালু সম্পর্কে ব্যাংকের ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর অ্যান্ড সিইও সেলিম আর. এফ. হোসেন বলেন, “এ জিমটি চালুর বিশেষ দিক হচ্ছে এর মাধ্যমে আমরা স্বাস্থ্য সুরক্ষার গুরুত্ব সম্পর্কে আমাদের ব্যাংকের কর্মকর্তাদের সচেতন করতে পারছি। ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক কর্মকর্তাদের স্বাস্থ্য নিরাপত্তায় সর্বোচ্চ অগ্রাধিকার দিয়ে থাকে। কর্মক্ষেত্রে ব্যায়ামাগার থাকলে তা টিমের মধ্যে পারস্পরিক বন্ধন আরও দৃঢ় করে। আমরা মনে করি, জিমে সময় বিনিয়োগ করা বড় ধরনের স্বাস্থ্যগত মুনাফা নিয়ে আসে। কর্মকর্তাদের জন্য সুযোগ-সুবিধা বাড়াতে আমরা আমাদের প্রচেষ্টা সবসময় অব্যাহত রাখবো।”
স্বাস্থ্য বিশেষজ্ঞদের মতে, নিয়মিত ব্যায়াম সৃজনশীলতা, দ্রুত শেখা, স্মরণশক্তি ও মনোযোগ বাড়াতে সাহায্য করে। এগুলো এমন ধরনের গুণাবলী, যা কর্মদক্ষতা বাড়ায় ও ক্যারিয়ারে সাফল্যের সাথে এগিয়ে যেতে সহায়ক ভূমিকা পালন করে। শরীর ও মন চাঙ্গা রাখে ও মানসিক চাপমুক্থ থাকতে সাহায্য করে। জীবনীশক্তি প্রদান করে জীবনকে প্রাণবন্ত রাখে।
কর্মকর্তাদের সঠিকভাবে ব্যায়ামে সহায়তার জন্য জিমে একজন প্রশিক্ষক নিয়োগ করা হয়েছে। অফিসকালীন সময়ের আগে ও পরে পুরুষ ও নারী কর্মকর্তাদের জন্য আলাদা আলাদা সময় নির্ধারণ করে দেয়া হয়েছে।
কর্মকর্তা বান্ধব কর্পোরেট প্রতিষ্ঠান হিসেবে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক কর্মকর্তাদের জন্য ইনডোর গেমস, ডে-কেয়ার সেন্টার, ক্যান্টিন, লাইব্রেরি, হেলথ ইন্সুরেন্স ও অফিসে আসা-যাওয়ার জন্য পরিবহন সুবিধা দিয়ে আসছে।


The alternate channel turning local Hat and Bazar into hotspot of day-to-day banking service
BRAC Bank has crossed the milestone of opening the 630th Agent Banking Outlet as rapid network expansion drive continues across the country.
From account opening, to cash withdrawal, availing loan to EMI payment, remittance service, utility bill payment – Agent Banking Outlets in Hat and Bazar are now the place to go for the local people for any day-to-day banking. Close proximity and variety of services make the outlets center point of financial solutions in rural Bangladesh.
All services available in branches are also served at agent banking outlets. The customers can also avail any account opening including DPS and FDR, daily transactions, transfer funds, foreign remittance, corporate bill collection, credit card bill, payments of insurance premiums, SME loan disbursement & repayment collection, retail loan lead generation and many more services.
BRAC Bank has been expanding this alternate banking channel in fast pace since entering into Agent Banking business in October 2018. The channel has already reached 63 districts. The outlet tally is expected to reach 700 by December 2021 and 1,200 by December 2022 as the bank aims to emerge as the key contributor in Agent Banking space to serve the unbanked people at the remote areas of the country.
BRAC Bank Agent Banking has the highest rural penetration with 77% of the AB Outlets located in rural areas. As of September 2021, the bank on-boarded 1.18 lac unbanked people through agent banking channel, mobilized BDT 537 crore deposit, disbursed BDT 2,568 crore loan, received BDT 5,000 crore loan repayment, processed BDT 821 crore remittance and altogether handled transaction worth BDT 18,474 crore.
“Agent App” enables the agents/agents’ staffs to take banking beyond the AB Outlet and provide service at customer door steps who are unable to visit outlet and outlets are able to offer banking services beyond the banking hour even in holidays considering customer demand, a unique facility that gives BRAC Bank an edge over others in the industry. Customer deposit is reflected in respective account real-time and it can be accessed from 375 ATMs, 187 branches and also through Internet Banking Astha App. The customers originally opening account through Branch can avail service at any Agent Banking Outlet by completing simple biometric verification formalities.
Commenting on the milestone, Selim R. F. Hussain, said: “The vision of BRAC Bank is to bring the unbanked segment of the people under formal financial umbrella. Agent Banking will play an enabling role in bringing in a large population who are presently out of formal banking services through this inclusive banking model.”
He added: “Our Agent Banking with biometric verification and digital capabilities will bring convenience to the people providing them with 24/7 banking anytime and anywhere. At the same time we have strong control over the activities of all outlets through system and physical monitoring from the compliance perspective to make the channel more secure. The Agent Banking service will create new employment opportunities and contribute significantly to uplift economy of the country especially in the rural parts. We will aggressively expand the network in the coming years to cover the nook and corner of the country.”
The impact of Agent Banking is evident in remark of a valued agent partner who generated the highest business in Chattogram Division. Md. Ashraf Uddin, Baroiyarhat AB Outlet, Mirsharai, said: “Agent Banking has changed the lives of many people of this locality. The people now tend to make savings in a bank account rather than keeping the cash in their home as they are now convinced that saving in a bank is safe and brings in long term benefits. At my outlet, we not only provide regular banking service, but we also advise people on financial management. We are also capitalizing our system capabilities by offering financial services at customer door step using Agent App and offering banking services after the banking hour and even in holidays.”

BRAC Bank has paid tribute to its founder Sir Fazle Hasan Abed KCMG on the 20th anniversary of the bank. It organized a webinar on January 8, 2022, with some of the country's eminent economists to discuss Sir Fazle’s contribution to financial inclusion in Bangladesh.
The virtual discussion also commemorated the second death anniversary of Sir Fazle. The dialogue reflected on his lifelong work to bring the unbanked missing middle into the formal financial ecology.
Dr. Qazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmad, Chairman, Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF); Dr. Atiur Rahman, former governor of Bangladesh Bank and Executive Chairperson of Unnayan Shamannay; Dr. Ahsan H. Mansur, Executive Director of Policy Research Institute of Bangladesh and Chairman of BRAC Bank; and Selim R. F. Hussain, Managing Director & CEO, BRAC Bank, shared their thoughts and memories in the session.
Sir Fazle's contributions to win over poverty and shape global development over the past 50 years are unparalleled. Beginning in the early 1970s, shortly after Bangladesh's independence, he established BRAC and transformed it into the largest and most-effective non-governmental organization in the world. He has set an extraordinary example of sustainable development, ethics, philanthropy, and most importantly, valuing human beings.
Speaking at the session, Dr. Qazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmad, said: “Sir Fazle believed in integrated development approach covering financial inclusion, education as well as health. He had the foresight and power to innovate for creating a society based on equality. He had a complete life that positively uplifted lives of millions both at home and abroad.”
Dr. Atiur Rahman, said: “Sir Fazle was an aesthetic personality. He pondered about the multi-dimensional upliftment of the people and sustainable development of the country. BRAC Bank and bKash are trying their best to live up to his legacy. He will always be inspirational to the people of Bangladesh and the new generation alike.”
Dr. Ahsan H. Mansur, reminisced: “Sir Fazle was passionate about SME Banking to provide access to finance to the unbanked. He dreamt of BRAC Bank’s SME portfolio reaching 50% of the total asset portfolio. It is so satisfying that we have been able to make his dream come true. BRAC Bank’s SME loan portfolio now constitutes 53% of the total asset book. But I think we should further expand our loan portfolio for women entrepreneurs, which goes in spirit with Sir Fazle’s mission of women’s empowerment.”
Selim R. F. Hussain said: “Sir Fazle had always said - small is beautiful, big is impactful. He gave us the space to scale up our operations and reach more people and demography for a more positive impact. He left behind a rich legacy for generations to follow. A lighthouse for all, his influence and teaching will go beyond ages.”
The institutions founded by Sir Fazle, such as BRAC Microfinance, BRAC Bank and mobile financial service provider - bKash - stand true to his commitment to financial inclusion bringing the unbanked missing middle under the purview of the mainstream financial system.

ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর ৭০০টি এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিং আউটলেট চালুর মাইলফলক অর্জন
২০২১ সালে আউটলেট ও ডিপোজিটে রেকর্ড প্রবৃদ্ধি
দেশব্যাপী চলমান সম্প্রসারণ কার্যক্রমের অংশ হিসেবে ৭০০টি এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিং আউটলেটের মাইলফলক অতিক্রম করেছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। এখন সর্বমোট ৭০৫টি আউটলেটের মাধ্যমে গ্রাহকদের সেবা প্রদান করছে।
গ্রামীণ এলাকায় ৭৭% আউটলেট নিয়ে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিংয়ের গ্রামীণ এলাকায় উপস্থিতি ইন্ডাস্ট্রিতে সবচেয়ে বেশি। এখন ১.৪০ লাখ গ্রাহককে সেবার আওতায় নিয়ে এসেছে। এখন এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিংয়ে প্রতি মাসে ১.৮৬ লাখটি লেনদেন সম্পন্ন হয়, যার মোট পরিমাণ ১,৬০০ কোটি টাকা।
অ্যাকাউন্ট খোলা, নগদ জমা ও উত্তোলন, ঋণ গ্রহণ, ঋণ পরিশোধ, বিদেশ থেকে পাঠানো টাকা গ্রহণ, ইউটিলিটি বিল প্রদান সহ সব ধরনের ব্যাংকিং সেবা পাওয়া যাচ্ছে এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিং আউটলেটে। এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিংয়ের ফলে প্রত্যন্ত অঞ্চলের হাট-বাজারে দৈনন্দিন ব্যাংকিং সেবা পৌঁছে গেছে। সাধারণ মানুষের দোরগোড়ায় অবস্থিত হওয়ায় ও বিভিন্ন ধরনের সেবার পাবার সুবিধা থাকায় এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিং আউটলেট আর্থিক লেনদেনের কেন্দ্রবিন্দুতে পরিণত হয়েছে।
ব্যাংকের শাখায় যেসব সেবা পাওয়া যায় এর সবই এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিং আউটলেটে পাওয়া যায়। এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিং আউটলেটগুলোতে ডিপিএস, এফডিআর, দৈনন্দিন লেনদেন, ফান্ড ট্রান্সফার, কর্পোরেট বিল কালেকশন, ক্রেডিট কার্ড বিল, বীমা প্রিমিয়াম, এসএমই লোন বিতরণ ও গ্রহণ, রিটেইল লোনের লিড জেনারেশন সহ যাবতীয় সব সেবা পাওয়া যায়।
২০১৮ সালের অক্টোবরে এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিং চালু করার পর থেকে এ নেটওয়ার্ক দ্রুত সম্প্রসারণ অব্যাহত রেখেছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। ইতিমধ্যেই দেশের ৬৪টি জেলায় পৌঁছে গেছে। ২০২২ সালের ডিসেম্বরের মধ্যে ১,০০০টি আউটলেট চালুর পরিকল্পনা করা হয়েছে। দেশের প্রত্যন্ত অঞ্চলে মূলধারার ব্যাংকিং সেবা বহির্ভূত মানুষকে সেবা দেয়ার জন্য এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিংয়ে শীর্ষস্থানীয় হওয়ার লক্ষ্য নিয়ে কাজ করছে ব্যাংকটি।
‘এজেন্ট অ্যাপ’ এর মাধ্যমে এজেন্ট পার্টনাররা/স্টাফরা আউটলেটের বাইরেও গ্রাহকের ঘরে ঘরে গিয়ে ব্যাংকিং সেবা প্রদান করতে পারছেন, যা এ ইন্ডাস্ট্রিতে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক-কে অন্যদের থেকে এগিয়ে রেখেছে। এজেন্ট পয়েন্টে টাকা জমা দেয়া মাত্র তা অ্যাকাউন্টে জমা হয় এবং তা ৩৭৫টি এটিএম, ১৮৭টি শাখা ও অনলাইন ব্যাংকিং ‘আস্থা অ্যাপ’এর সাহায্যে তোলা যায়। শাখায় যেসব গ্রাহক অ্যাকাউন্ট খুলেছেন তারা বায়োমেট্রিক ভেরিফিকেশন্স সম্পন্ন করে এজেন্ট আউটলেটেও সেবা গ্রহণ করতে পারবেন।
এ মাইলফলক অর্জন সম্পর্কে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর ব্যবস্থাপনা পরিচালক ও প্রধান নির্বাহী কর্মকর্তা সেলিম আর. এফ. হোসেন বলেন: “ব্যাংকিং সুাবধার বাইরে থাকা মানুষদেরকে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক আনুষ্ঠানিক আর্থিক বলয়ের আওতায় নিয়ে আসার লক্ষ্য নিয়ে কাজ করে যাচ্ছে। ব্যাংকিং সেবার বাইরে থাকা একটি বিশাল জনগোষ্ঠীকে ব্যাংকিংয়ের মূলধারায় অন্তর্ভুক্ত করতে ভূমিকা পালন করছে এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিং।”
তিনি আরও বলেন: “বায়োমেট্রিক যাচাইকরণ-সহ ডিজিটাল ক্ষমতাসম্পন্ন আমাদের এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিং আউটলেটগুলো গ্রাহকদেরকে সেবা দেয় যেকোনো সময় এবং যেকোনো জায়গায়। এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিং উত্তরোত্তর নতুন কর্মসংস্থানের সুযোগ তৈরি করছে এবং অর্থনীতি বিশেষ করে গ্রামীণ অর্থনীতির উন্নয়নে উল্লেখযোগ্য অবদান রাখছে। আগামী বছরগুলোতে দেশের প্রতিটি প্রান্তে এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিংয়ের নেটওয়ার্ক ছড়িয়ে দিতে আমরা আমাদের সর্বোচ্চ চেষ্টা অব্যাহত রাখবো।”

Cattle farming is fast emerging as a vibrant sector with a number of SME entrepreneurs venturing into this growing and potential sector.
The sector is taking flight but not without plight of the entrepreneurs. The small-scale farmers are often compelled to shut down business and go bankrupt due to death of cattle. The grassroots farmers often find it difficult to get bank loan for risk factor of this agriculture business.
As a trusted partner of SMEs, yet again BRAC Bank has come forward to introduce the country’s first livestock loan packed with insurance facility. This solution solves two burning problems of the farmers – easy access to finance and death of cattle much to the delight of the farmers.
BRAC Bank partnered with Green Delta Insurance Company Limited, Swisscontact, the Embassy of Switzerland, Microinsurance Market Development Programme (BMMDP/Surokkha) to launch the microinsurance services for the livestock farmers in the rural areas. The project will facilitate 600 farmers with unique cattle outreach of 1,600.
The bank did not stop here. To ensure financial viability and long-term sustainability of this delicate business, BRAC Bank has organized a series of awareness programmes across the country to disseminate knowledge of efficient farming among the cattle farmers.
At the sessions, Upazilla Livestock Officers (ULO) discussed about feed, disease, design of cattle shed and other important issues for successfully running commercial cattle farming venture. Financial management, easy access to loan and insurance were also discussed.
The awareness sessions were organized at its Agent Banking premises at Mirsharai, Lohagara in Chattogram, Pekua and Teknaf in Cox’s Bazar and Homna, Titas, Brahmanpara, Chauddagram, Laksam, Monohargonj and Barura in Cumilla.
SM Saiful Islam, Head of Agricultural Finance of BRAC Bank, Maruf Hossain, AVP, Green Delta Insurance and respective Upazilla Livestock Officers attended the programmes.
Commenting on the initiative, Syed Abdul Momen, Deputy Managing Director and Head of SME Banking, BRAC Bank, said: “Since its inception, BRAC Bank has a particular focus on SME financing with a broader vision of financial inclusion and pro-poor growth.”
“This insurance coverage will boost country’s cattle rearing sector and encourage more people to start the farming commercially in bigger scale. It is to be an important tool for poverty alleviation and job creation, particularly in the rural areas of Bangladesh as it safeguards the interest of the farmers. We will continue to organize such awareness sessions to help the farmers cope with the challenges and make the business viable in the long term,” he added.
দেশব্যাপী ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর উদ্যোগে কার্যকর পদ্ধতিতে গবাদি পশু পালন বিষয়ক সচেতনতামূলক কার্যক্রম
গবাদি পশুর খামার দ্রুত বর্ধনশীল ও সম্ভাবনাময় একটি খাত হিসেবে আবির্ভূত হচ্ছে। অসংখ্য ক্ষুদ্র ও মাঝারি উদ্যোক্তা এ ব্যবসা শুরু করছেন।
সম্ভাবনাময় এই খাতটি এগিয়ে যাচ্ছে কিন্তু গবাদি পশু নানা রোগে মারা যাওয়ায়ক্ষুদ্র খামারিরা প্রায়শই প্রতিবন্ধকতার মুখে পড়ছেন এবং ব্যবসা বন্ধ হয়ে যাওয়ায় দেউলিয়া হয়ে যাচ্ছেন। এই খাতের এই সব ঝুঁকির কারণে প্রান্তিক খামারিরা ব্যাংক ঋণ পেতে অসুবিধায় পড়েন।
এই অসুবিধা থেকে খামারিদের মুক্তি দিতে এসএমই খাতের বিশ্বস্ত অংশীদার হিসেবে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক দেশে প্রথমবারের মত বীমা সুবিধাসহ গবাদি পশুর খামারের জন্য একটি বিশেষ ঋণ চালু করে। এই সলিউশনটি খামারিদের দু’টি বড় সমস্যার সমাধান করেছে। এক. সহজে লোন সুবিধা, দুই. গবাদি পশুর মৃত্যু হলেও বীমা সুবিধা।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক গ্রীন ডেল্টা ইন্স্যুরেন্স কোম্পানি লিমিটেড, সুইসকন্টাক্ট, সুইজারল্যান্ডের দূতাবাস, মাইক্রোইন্সুরেন্স মার্কেট ডেভেলপমেন্ট প্রোগ্রাম (বিএমএমডিপি/সুরক্ষা) এর সাথে গ্রামীণ এলাকায় গবাদি পশু খামারিদের জন্য ক্ষুদ্রবীমা সেবা চালু করে। ওই প্রকল্পের আওতায় ৬০০জন খামারি ১,৬০০টি গবাদি পশুর জন্য লোন সুবিধা ও বীমা সুবিধা পাবেন।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এখানেই থেমে থাকেনি। টেকসই পদ্ধতিতে এই ব্যবসা পরিচালনার জন্য দেশের বিভিন্ন অঞ্চলের খামারিদের জন্য সচেতনতামূলক কর্মসূচির আয়োজন করেছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। এ ফলে খামারিরা কার্যকর পদ্ধতিতে খামার পরিচালনা করতে পারছেন। ব্যবসা দীর্ঘমেয়াদে সফল হচ্ছে।
এই সম্মেলনে উপজেলা প্রাণিসম্পদ কর্মকর্তারা (ইউএলও) গবাদি পশুর খাদ্য, রোগ, শেডের নকশা এবং বাণিজ্যিক গবাদি পশু পালনের উদ্যোগ সফলভাবে পরিচালানোর জন্য অন্যান্য গুরুত্বপূর্ণ বিষয়ে আলোচনা করেন। এছাড়াও আর্থিক ব্যবস্থাপনা, সহজে লোন প্রাপ্তি ও বীমা সুবিধা নিয়েও আলোচনা করেন।
চট্টগ্রামের মীরসরাই, লোহাগাড়া, কক্সবাজারের পেকুয়া ও টেকনাফ এবং কুমিল্লার হোমনা, তিতাস, ব্রাহ্মণপাড়া, চৌদ্দগ্রাম, লাকসাম, মনোহরগঞ্জ ও বরুরায় এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিং অফিসে এ সচেতনতামূলক সেশন আয়োজন করা হয়।
অনুষ্ঠানে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর হেড অব এগ্রিকালচারাল ফাইন্যান্স এস এম সাইফুল ইসলাম, গ্রীন ডেল্টা ইন্স্যুরেন্সের এভিপি মারুফ হোসেন এবং সংশ্লিষ্ট উপজেলা প্রাণিসম্পদ কর্মকর্তারা উপস্থিত ছিলেন।
এই উদ্যোগ সম্পর্কে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর ডেপুটি ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর অ্যান্ড হেড অব এসএমই ব্যাংকিং সৈয়দ আব্দুল মোমেন বলেন, “সূচনা লগ্ন থেকেই ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক পিছিয়ে পড়া ক্ষুদ্র জনগোষ্ঠির আর্থিক অন্তর্ভুক্তি এবং দরিদ্র বান্ধব প্রবৃদ্ধি অর্জনের লক্ষ্যে এসএমই অর্থায়নের উপর বিশেষ গুরুত্ব দিয়ে আসছে।”
তিনি আরও বলেন, “এই বীমা কভারেজ দেশের গবাদি পশু পালন খাতকে আরও সামনে এগিয়ে নিবে এবং আরও বেশি উদ্যোক্তাকে বাণিজ্যিকভাবে পশু পালনে উৎসাহিত করবে। এটি বাংলাদেশের গ্রামীণ অঞ্চলে দারিদ্র্য বিমোচন ও কর্মসংস্থান সৃষ্টিতে ভূমিকা রাখবে, কেননা এতে খামারিদের স্বার্থ রক্ষা হবে। খামারিদের আরও চ্যালেঞ্জ মোকাবেলা করতে এবং ব্যবসাকে দীর্ঘমেয়াদে টেকসই করতে আমরা এই ধরনের সচেতনতামূলক কার্যক্রম অব্যাহত রাখবো।”

ব্যাংকের ব্যবসায়িক সম্প্রসারণে সহায়তা প্রদানের লক্ষ্যে একসাথে ৮০ জন কর্মকর্তা নিয়োগ করা হয়েছে। আগামী চার বছরে ব্যবসা দ্বিগুণ করার পরিকল্পনা গ্রহণ করেছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। এ সম্প্রসারণ পরিকল্পনাকে এগিয়ে নিতে মানবসম্পদ ও প্রযুক্তিতে বড় ধরনের বিনিয়োগ করছে ব্যাংকটি।
মহামারীর প্রভাবে অনেক প্রতিষ্ঠান যখন ছাঁটাই ও বেতন হ্রাস করছে, তখন ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক একসাথে এই বিপুল সংখ্যক সদ্য পাশ করা গ্র্যাজুয়েটদের জন্য কর্মসংস্থান সৃষ্টি করেছে। দেশব্যাপী বিস্তৃতি ও ব্যবসায়িক পরিধি বাড়াতে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ২০২২ সালে দুই হাজার নতুন কর্মকর্তা নিয়োগ করবে। এই নতুন নিয়োগের এ ঘোষণাটি দেশের সরকারি ও বেসরকারি বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় থেকে পাশ করা গ্র্যাজুয়েটদের মধ্যে ব্যাপক আগ্রহ ও উৎসাহ সৃষ্টি করেছে। ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এ অফিসার থেকে সিনিয়র প্রিন্সিপাল অফিসার গ্রেডের কর্মকর্তাদের বেতন একবারে ৫০% পর্যন্ত বৃদ্ধির সাম্প্রতিক উদ্যোগ চাকুরীপ্রার্থীদের মধ্যে উদ্দীপনা সৃষ্টি করেছে।

ধারাবাহিক কয়েকটি বাছাই প্রক্রিয়ার মাধ্যমে ইয়ং লিডারসদের নিয়োগ করা হয়েছে। এর মধ্যে ছিল পেশাদারীদের তত্ত্বাবধানে সাইকোমেটিক্স, পাসোর্নালিটি প্রোফাইলিং এবং দুই ধাপে সাক্ষাৎকার গ্রহণ। এই নিয়োগ কার্যক্রমের পূর্বে গ্র্যাজুয়েটদের মধ্যে সচেতনতা সৃষ্টির লক্ষ্যে দেশের বিভিন্ন বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের সাথে ক্যারিয়ার টকের আয়োজন করা হয়।
নির্দিষ্ট কর্মস্থলে স্থায়ীভাবে দায়িত্ব অর্পণের পূর্বে নতুন নিয়োপ্রাপ্তদেরকে আগামী বার মাস বিভিন্ন প্রশিক্ষণ প্রদান করা হবে। প্রিন্সটন ইউনিভার্সিটির শিক্ষা পদ্ধতির আদলে এ প্রশিক্ষণ কার্যক্রম তৈরি করা হয়েছে। এ ফলে তারা হাতেনাতে ব্যাংকিংয়ের কাজ করার সময় ৭০%, কোচ, মেন্টর ও বাডি এর রিলেশনশিপের মাধ্যমে ২০% এবং ১০% শ্রেণীকক্ষে প্রশিক্ষণের মাধ্যমে অভিজ্ঞতা অর্জন করবেন। এক বছরের প্রশিক্ষণের পর তাদের পছন্দ, কর্মদক্ষতা ও ব্যবসায়িক প্রয়োজনীয়তা বিবেচনায় নিয়ে বিভিন্ন ডিভিশনে স্থায়ীভাবে নির্দিষ্ট দায়িত্ব দেয়া হবে।

তিনি আরও বলেন, “কর্মকর্তারাই আমাদের প্রধান সম্পদ। তাই আমরা প্রতিভাবানদের নিয়োগ করি এবং মানবসম্পদ উন্নয়নে পর্যাপ্ত বিনিয়োগ করি। প্রতিষ্ঠানের উচ্চাভিলাষী প্রৃবদ্ধির অর্জনের জন্য নতুন কর্মকর্তাদের নতুন দৃষ্টান্ত, আইডিয়া ও কর্ম উদ্দীপনা প্রয়োজন। কর্মকর্তাদের জন্য আমরা সহায়ক কর্মপরিবেশ তৈরি করি যাতে তারা শিখতে পারেন, অভিজ্ঞতা অর্জন করতে পারেন, কাজ উপভোগ করতে পারে এবং প্রতিষ্ঠানের অগ্রগতিতে ভূমিকা রাখতে পারে। ইয়ং লিডারস প্রোগ্রামটি এমনভাবে সাজানো হয়েছে যাতে এই ৮০ জন কর্মকর্তা তাদের সুপ্ত প্রতিভা বিকাশের সুযোগ পান। ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এ উপভোগ্য আগামীর পথচলায় তাদের স্বাগত জানাই।”

মাল্টি-কারেন্সি ডেবিট কার্ড চালু করলো ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক
ঢাকা, মঙ্গলবার, ১৫ মার্চ, ২০২২: ডেবিট কার্ডের গ্রাহকদের জন্য দারুণ সুবিধা নিয়ে এসেছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। চালু করেছে মাল্টি-কারেন্সি ডেবিট কার্ড, যার সাহায্যে আন্তর্জাতিক লেনদেন-সহ আন্তর্জাতিক ই-কমার্স সাইট থেকে কেনাকাটা করা যাবে।
গ্রাহকরা এখন বিদেশ ভ্রমণের সময় হোটেল, রেস্তোরাঁ, শপিংয়ে এই ভিসা ডেবিট কার্ডটি ব্যবহার করতে পারবেন। সেই সাথে বিদেশী হাসপাতালে চিকিৎসা সেবা নেওয়া, বিদেশী সফটওয়্যার কেনা কিংবা সোশ্যাল মিডিয়ায় বিজ্ঞাপন প্রচারের কাজেও ব্যবহার করতে পারবেন।
এ ধরনের আন্তর্জাতিক লেনদেন করতে গ্রাহকদের আগে ক্রেডিট কার্ডের প্রয়োজন হতো। এছাড়াও, মাল্টি-কারেন্সি ডেবিট কার্ডের মাধ্যমে লেনদেনের জন্য পাওয়া যাবে রিওয়ার্ড পয়েন্ট।
ইন্টারেস্ট চার্জ বা বিলম্ব জরিমানা (লেট ফি) নিয়ে গ্রাহকদের চিন্তা করতে হবে না। এটি ডেবিট কার্ড হওয়ায় এতে এই ধরনের কোনো চার্জ প্রযোজ্য হবে না। বরং গ্রাহকবৃন্দ ৩০০টিরও বেশি পার্টনার মার্চেন্টে ডিসকাউন্ট সুবিধা পাবেন।
এছাড়াও গ্রাহকবৃন্দ বিশ্বের যে-কোনো দেশের ভিসা এটিএম বুথ থেকে যে-কোনো সময় নগদ অর্থ উত্তোলন করতে পারবেন। সাধারণ ডেবিট কার্ডের মতো এই কার্ডটি বাংলাদেশের যে-কোনো এটিএম বুথ, কেনাকাটা, ডাইনিং, POS এবং ই-কমার্স লেনদেনের জন্যও ব্যবহার করা যাবে। শুধু তাই নয়, এই কার্ডের মাধ্যমে স্থানীয় এবং আন্তর্জাতিক লেনদেনের ক্ষেত্রে গ্রাহকরা রিওয়ার্ড পয়েন্ট পাবেন। পূর্বের কোন কেনাকাটার ক্ষেত্রে এই রিওয়ার্ড পয়েন্ট কাজে লাগানো যাবে।
এই কার্ডটি বিদেশে POS-এ ব্যবহার করা যাবে এবং বিদেশে ভ্রমণকালে সেই দেশের মুদ্রায় লেনদেন করা যাবে। এই সুবিধা পাওয়ার জন্য একজন গ্রাহককে ব্যাংকে সঞ্চয়/কারেন্ট অ্যাকাউন্ট খুলতে/পরিচালনা করতে হবে এবং ট্রাভেল কোটা বা মেডিকেল কোটা ব্যবহার করে নিকটস্থ ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক শাখা থেকে তাদের পাসপোর্ট এনডোর্স করিয়ে নিতে হবে।
বর্তমানে যেসব গ্রাহকবৃন্দ ডেবিট কার্ড ব্যবহার করছেন, তারা এই মাল্টি-কারেন্সি সুবিধা পেতে কার্ড প্রতিস্থাপন করিয়ে নিতে হবে। একজন গ্রাহক তার বার্ষিক ভ্রমণ কোটার এনটাইটেলমেন্টের বিপরীতে বছরে সর্বোচ্চ ১২,০০০ ডলার খরচ করতে পারবেন। ‘আস্থা অ্যাপ’-এর মাধ্যমে গ্রাহকরা ইন্টারনেট ব্যাংকিংয়ের সুবিধা পাবেন এবং লেনদেনের বিস্তারিত দেখতে পারবেন।
মাল্টি-কারেন্সি ডেবিট কার্ড চালু করা সম্পর্কে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক-এর রিটেইল ব্যাংকিং বিভাগের প্রধান মোঃ মাহীয়ুল ইসলাম বলেন: “যারা বিদেশে ভ্রমণ করেন তাদের ব্যাংকিং চাহিদা পূরণের পূর্ণাঙ্গ সমাধান আমাদের মাল্টি-কারেন্সি ডেবিট কার্ড। এখন বিদেশে ভ্রমণের সময় নগদ অর্থ সাথে না থাকলেও সমস্যা নেই, কারণ আমাদের এই কার্ডের মাধ্যমে বিদেশে এটিএম ব্যবহার, পিওএস (POS) এবং অনলাইনে শপিং করা যাবে। এতে মাল্টি-কারেন্সি লেনদেনের সুবিধা, ডিসকাউন্ট, রিওয়ার্ড পয়েন্ট এবং অবশ্যই ভিসা এর প্রদানকৃত সব সুবিধা থাকছে।”
তিনি আরও বলেন: “আমরা মনে করি, এখন এই কার্ড চালু করার সঠিক সময়। কেননা দেশ এগিয়ে যাওয়ার সাথে সাথে মানুষের জীবনধারা ও জীবনযাত্রার মান পরিবর্তিত হচ্ছে। এই কার্ড চালু করতে প্রয়োজনীয় সমর্থন ও অনুমোদন প্রদানের জন্য বাংলাদেশ ব্যাংককে ধন্যবাদ জানাই। গ্রাহককেন্দ্রিক ব্যাংক হিসাবে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক গ্রাহকদের ক্রমপরিবর্তনশীল চাহিদা পূরণে নতুন নতুন সেবা নিয়ে আসার চেষ্টা অব্যাহত রাখবে।”

Dhaka, Wednesday, March 23, 2022: Bangladeshi migrants working in Singapore will now be able to easily transfer their hard-earned income to their families back home, with minimal expenses and in real-time using DBS Remit via DBS digibank, DBS’ digital banking platform.
For remittances to Bangladesh, DBS Remit provides guaranteed exchange rates, has no service fee charges and ensures real-time automated deposits to BRAC Bank accounts, as well as any other bank account in Bangladesh. BRAC Bank’s extensive network of 187 branches and more than 700 Agent Banking outlets also allows recipients in Bangladesh to easily collect the transfer in cash, if they prefer. For remittances deposited to a BRAC Bank account, the bank’s customers can use Mobile App Astha to pay utilities, insurance and loan installations, credit card and phone bills as well as transfer funds to any bank account or mobile wallet in Bangladesh. They can also withdraw their cash at any ATM across the country.
More than 200,000 Bangladeshi migrants are currently working in Singapore. They send around USD$ 350 million to Bangladesh annually contributing significantly to national development. Most of them are blue collar professionals who struggle with convenient ways to send money home on a regular basis. Challenges include high costs of remittance, due to fluctuating exchange rates and/or multiple transaction fees, which can sometimes drive them towards informal channels with lower security and transparency to lower costs. With DBS Remit, automated, affordable and real-time digital remittance facilities are now available to them, so they can remit funds to Bangladesh anytime, anywhere.
Said Rhidoi Krishnakumar, Regional Head of DBS Remit, “We are very pleased to partner BRAC Bank, one of the most innovative financial institutions in Bangladesh, to enhance our DBS Remit capabilities and provide more accessible, affordable and secure remittances for our customers. We also look forward to enabling remittances to bKash wallet by the end of this year so customers can remit to even more touchpoints across Bangladesh.”
“Inward foreign remittance is one of the backbones of our economy, and we’re always working hard to facilitate its continuous growth. We joined hands with DBS Bank, the leading digital bank in the world because they, like us, offer their customers the best service experience, backed by the most advanced technologies. We look forward to expand our partnership scopes with DBS in future,” said Selim R.F. Hussain, MD & CEO of BRAC Bank.
To facilitate wage earners’ remittance inflow to the country, BRAC Bank maintains a network of 60+ partnerships with leading exchange houses and banks around the globe. During the pandemic, the bank worked with United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) to design and promote digital remittance channels and disseminate digital financial literacy to Bangladeshi migrants and their families back home. The bank offers automated and real time remittance settlement in multiple payment modes, including cash, account deposit, and mobile wallet deposit.
Mentionable here that, as an encouragement to send remittance through legal channel, the remittance beneficiaries of the migrants will get 2.5% incentive from the Bangladesh Government.
সিঙ্গাপুর অভিবাসী বাংলাদেশিদের জন্য দ্রুত ও কম খরচে দেশে টাকা পাঠানোর সুযোগ এনে দিল ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ও ডিবিএস
ঢাকা, বুধবার, ২৩ মার্চ, ২০২২: সিঙ্গাপুরের স্বনামধন্য ব্যাংক – ডিবিএস -এর ডিজিটাল ব্যাংকিং প্ল্যাটফর্ম ডিবিএস ডিজিব্যাংক এর মাধ্যমে ‘ডিবিএস রেমিট’ ব্যবহার করে সিঙ্গাপুরে কর্মরত বাংলাদেশি অভিবাসীরা এখন ন্যূনতম খরচে তাৎক্ষণিকভাবে তাদের পরিবারের কাছে টাকা পাঠাতে পারবেন। এ সুবিধা চালু করতে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ও ডিবিএস পার্টনারশিপ সম্পন্ন করেছে।
বাংলাদেশে টাকা পাঠানোর জন্য একটি নির্ধারিত বিনিময় হার প্রদান করে ‘ডিবিএস রেমিট’। এর কোনো সার্ভিস ফি নেই এবং ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক অ্যাকাউন্ট-সহ বাংলাদেশের অন্য যে-কোনো ব্যাংক অ্যাকাউন্টে রিয়েল-টাইম স্বয়ংক্রিয় ডিপোজিট নিশ্চিত করে। ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক-এর ১৮৭টি শাখার বিশাল নেটওয়ার্ক এবং ৭০০টিরও বেশি এজেন্ট ব্যাংকিং আউটলেটের মাধ্যমে বাংলাদেশে প্রাপকেরা সুবিধা অনুযায়ী পাঠানো টাকা দ্রুত উত্তোলন করতে পারবেন।
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক অ্যাকাউন্টে ডিপোজিট হওয়া রেমিট্যান্সের মাধ্যমে ব্যাংকের গ্রাহকরা মোবাইল অ্যাপ ‘আস্থা’ ব্যবহার করে ইউটিলিটি, বিমা এবং ঋণের কিস্তি প্রদান, ক্রেডিট কার্ড এবং ফোন বিল পরিশোধ করতে তো পারবেনই; সাথে দেশের যে-কোনো ব্যাংক অ্যাকাউন্ট বা মোবাইল ওয়ালেটে টাকা স্থানান্তর করতে পারবেন। এছাড়াও, তারা দেশের যে-কোনো এটিএম বুথ থেকে নগদ টাকা উত্তোলন করতে পারবেন।
বর্তমানে দুই লাখের বেশি বাংলাদেশি অভিবাসী সিঙ্গাপুরে কাজ করছেন। তারা বছরে প্রায় ৩৫০ মিলিয়ন মার্কিন ডলার বাংলাদেশে পাঠিয়ে থাকেন। তাদের বেশিরভাগই শ্রমিক হিসেবে কাজ করেন এবং নিয়মিত দেশে টাকা পাঠানোর সুবিধাজনক ও সাশ্রয়ী উপায় খুঁজে পেতে তাদের যথেষ্টই বেগ পেতে হয়। এখানে সমস্যাগুলোর মধ্যে রয়েছে বিনিময় হারের ক্রমাগত ওঠানামা এবং/অথবা একাধিক লেনদেনের ফি-এর কারণে বেশি রেমিট্যান্স খরচ। এই খরচ কমাতে তারা মাঝেমাঝে টাকা পাঠানোর জন্য কম নিরাপদ বিভিন্ন অনানুষ্ঠানিক চ্যানেল বেছে নেন।
‘ডিবিএস রেমিট’-এর মাধ্যমে এখন যে-কোনো সময় বাংলাদেশের যে-কোনো জায়গায় টাকা পাঠানোর জন্য স্বয়ংক্রিয়, সাশ্রয়ী খরচের ও রিয়েল-টাইম ডিজিটাল রেমিট্যান্স সুবিধা পাওয়া যাবে।
‘ডিবিএস রেমিট’-এর রিজিওনাল হেড হৃদয় কৃষ্ণকুমার বলেন: “ডিবিএস রেমিট সক্ষমতা বাড়িয়ে গ্রাহকদের আরও সহজলভ্য, সাশ্রয়ী এবং নিরাপদ রেমিট্যান্স প্রদানের জন্য বাংলাদেশের অন্যতম উদ্ভাবনী আর্থিক প্রতিষ্ঠান ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক-এর অংশিদার হতে পেরে আমরা অত্যন্ত আনন্দিত। আমরা এই বছরের শেষে বিকাশ ওয়ালেটেও রেমিট্যান্স সুবিধা আনার ব্যবস্থা করছি, যাতে গ্রাহকেরা সারা বাংলাদেশের আরও বেশি জায়গায় রেমিট্যান্স পাঠাতে পারেন।”
ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক-এর ম্যানেজিং ডিরেক্টর অ্যান্ড সিইও সেলিম আর. এফ. হোসেন বলেন, “বৈদেশিক রেমিট্যান্স আমাদের অর্থনীতির অন্যতম মেরুদন্ডের একটি। আমরা এ খাতকে এগিয়ে নিতে ও ক্রমাগত উন্নয়নে কাজ করে যাচ্ছি। আমরা বিশ্বব্যাপী শীর্ষস্থানীয় ডিজিটাল ব্যাংক, ‘ডিবিএস ব্যাংক’-এর অংশিদার হয়েছি, কারণ তারা উন্নততম প্রযুক্তির মাধ্যমে গ্রাহকদের সর্বোত্তম সেবার অভিজ্ঞতা নিশ্চিত করে। আমরা ভবিষ্যতে ডিবিএস-এর সাথে অংশিদারিত্ব আরও বাড়াতে চাই।”
প্রবাসীরা যাতে দ্রুত ও সহজে দেশে অর্থ পাঠাতে পারেন, সেজন্য ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক বিশ্বের ৬০ টির বেশি একচেঞ্জ প্রতিষ্ঠানের সাথে পার্টনারশিপ করেছে। মহামারীর প্রেক্ষিতে ডিজিটাল রেমিট্যান্স চ্যানেল চালু ও প্রসারে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক ইউনাইটেড ন্যাশনস ক্যাপিট্যাল ডেভেলপমেন্ট ফান্ড (ইউএনসিডিএফ) এর সাথে কাজ করছে। এ পার্টনারশিপের আওতায় বাংলাদেশি প্রবাসী ও দেশে তাদের নিকটজনের মধ্যে ডিজিটাল আর্থিক সাক্ষরতা সম্পর্কে সচেতনতা কার্যক্রম পরিচালনা করা হয়। ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক স্বয়ংক্রিয় ও তাৎক্ষণিক রেমিট্যান্স সুবিধা প্রদান করে। এর মাধ্যমে নগদ উত্তোলন, অ্যাকাউন্টে ও মোবাইল ওয়ালেটে জমা সহ নানা পেমেন্ট সুবিধা পাওয়া যায়।
উল্লেখ্য যে, বৈধ চ্যানেলের মাধ্যমে রেমিট্যান্স পাঠানোর প্রণোদনা হিসেবে রেমিট্যান্সের গ্রহীতারা বাংলাদেশ সরকারের কাছ থেকে ২.৫% ইনসেন্টিভ সুবিধা পাচ্ছেন।

ঢাকা, সোমবার, ১১ এপ্রিল ২০২২: গ্রাহকদের দৈনন্দিন লেনদেন আরও স্বচ্ছন্দময় করতে মোবাইল অ্যাপ ‘আস্থা’র মাধ্যমে কুইক রেসপন্স (কিউআর)-ভিত্তিক লেনদেন চালু করেছে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক।
এই সেবার মাধ্যমে ব্যবহারকারীরা মার্চেন্ট পয়েন্টগুলোতে থাকা ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক-সহ অন্যান্য ব্যাংকের কিউআর স্ক্যান করে তাৎক্ষণিক লেনদেন করতে পারবেন। ভিসা কার্ড, মাস্টারকার্ড ডেবিট এবং ক্রেডিট কার্ডধারীরা মোবাইল অ্যাপ 'আস্থা' ব্যবহার করে মাত্র কয়েকটি ট্যাপের মাধ্যমে পেমেন্ট করতে পারেন।
'আস্থা' অ্যাপের মাধ্যমে কিউআর (QR) লেনদেন সহজ, দ্রুত এবং নিরাপদ। এই সুরক্ষিত প্রক্রিয়ায় ওয়ান টাইম পাসওয়ার্ড (OTP) এর মাধ্যমে নিশ্চিত হয়ে পেমেন্ট করা হয়।
ব্যাংকের ডেবিট কার্ড দিয়ে কিউআর (QR) ভিত্তিক লেনদেনে রিওয়ার্ড পয়েন্ট দিচ্ছে একমাত্র ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক। কিউআর (QR)-এর মাধ্যমে লেনদেনকৃত প্রতি ১০০ টাকার জন্য গ্রাহক একটি রিওয়ার্ড পয়েন্ট অর্জন করবেন।
গ্রাহকগণ সারা বাংলাদেশে ডাইন-ইন, লাইফস্টাইল, ইলেকট্রনিক্স, হেলথ কেয়ার, ডিপার্টমেন্টাল স্টোর, অটোমোবাইল এবং ট্রাভেল ক্যাটাগরি জুড়ে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংকের ১,০০০ এরও বেশি কিউআর (QR) মার্চেন্টের কাছে পেমেন্ট সার্ভিস পেতে পারবেন। ব্যাংক দ্রুত এই কিউআর (QR) নেটওয়ার্ক বাড়িয়ে চলছে। গ্রাহকরা বাংলাদেশের অন্য যেকোনো স্থানীয় ব্যাংকের বাংলা কিউআর প্ল্যাটফর্ম ব্যবহার করতে পারবেন।
আরও সুখবর হিসেবে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক এর ক্রেডিট এবং ডেবিট কার্ডের সাথে সংযুক্ত ‘আস্থা’ অ্যাপের মাধ্যমে রমজান মাসে কিউআর (QR) লেনদেনে দশগুণ বেশি রিওয়ার্ড পয়েন্ট অফার করছে। ব্যাংকের সার্বক্ষণিক কল সেন্টারের মাধ্যমে সহজেই এই রিওয়ার্ড পয়েন্ট ব্যবহার করা যায়।
এই নতুন সেবা সম্পর্কে ব্র্যাক ব্যাংক-এর হেড অব রিটেইল ব্যাংকিং মোঃ মাহীয়ুল ইসলাম বলেন, “দৈনন্দিন লেনদেনকে আরও সহজ, দ্রুত এবং সুরক্ষিত করে তোলে কিউআর (QR) পেমেন্ট। কার্ড বহন করার প্রয়োজন না থাকায় এই পদ্ধতিটি অনেক সুবিধাজনক। ক্যাশলেস পেমেন্ট ইকোসিস্টেম গঠনে এটি একটি বড় পদক্ষেপ। আমরা দৃঢ়ভাবে বিশ্বাস করি যে, কিউআর (QR) পেমেন্ট দেশে একটি ক্যাশলেস লেনদেন ব্যবস্থা তৈরিতে অপরিহার্য ভূমিকা পালন করবে।”
তিনি আরও বলেন, “আমাদের কিউআর মার্চেন্টের সংখ্যা ক্রমাগত বৃদ্ধি পেতে থাকায় কিউআর (QR) পেমেন্টে আরও মার্চেন্ট ক্যাটাগরি যুক্ত হবে ও আরও নতুন নতুন জায়গায় ছড়িয়ে পড়বে ৷একটি গ্রাহক-কেন্দ্রিক ব্যাংক হিসেবে আমরা গ্রাহকদের ক্রমবর্ধমান চাহিদা মেটাতে নতুন প্রযুক্তি-সক্ষম সার্ভিস নিয়ে আসা অব্যাহত রাখবো।”
