Prime Minister’s ICT Affairs
Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy today said that the next step of digital Bangladesh is
building a cashless society to ensure transparency, accountability and mobility
in financial transactions.
“The next dream of digital
Bangladesh is to make a cashless society. The blaze service is a part of the
cashless society,” he said while inaugurating the blaze service as the chief
guest at a virtual function.
State Minister for ICT Zunaid
Ahmed Palak and Bangladesh Bank Deputy Governor Jamal Ahmed joined the function
as special guests while Chairman of the Sonali Bank Board of Directors Ziaul
Hasan Siddiqui gave the concluding remarks.
CEO and Managing Director of the
Sonali Bank Limited Md. Ataur Rahman Prodhan delivered the welcome speech.
The blaze service, a joint
initiative of Sonali Bank, Homepay and ITCL, will reduce the tendency of
sending money through ‘hundi’ and will increase further the country’s foreign
exchange reserves, official sources said.
Through the service, the hard
earned money of expatriates from any part of the world will be able to send
easily and safely within just five seconds in any time to the country through
the blaze service. Sonali Bank Limited is the first in the banking sector of
Bangladesh to introduce such activities. As a result, expatriates will be able
to send their money easily and the beneficiaries will be able to withdraw the money
from their own banks quickly, the sources added .
In his speech, Joy said under the
strong leadership and direction of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh has
achieved significant success in the development of IT sector in the last 12
years as part of building a "Digital Bangladesh".
