BRAC Bank has organised two remittance awareness conferences in Lalmonirhat and Naogaon, reinforcing its commitment to promoting formal banking channels for inward remittances.
The events took place at the Patgram Agent Banking Outlet in Lalmonirhat and the Palashbari Agent Banking Outlet in Naogaon, bringing together expatriate families and local community members for interactive sessions, reads a press release.
Discussions focused on the safety and transparency of formal banking channels, in contrast to the risks associated with informal methods such as hundi.
Bank officials highlighted that using legal channels helps protect individual funds while also supporting the country’s foreign exchange reserves and overall economic stability.
A key feature of the sessions was the introduction of the bank’s Probashi Poribar accounts. Designed for expatriates and their families, the accounts provide access to savings and financial services, enabling households to build long-term financial resilience.
