Bangladesh Bank has awarded privately owned NRBC Bank a ‘Letter of Appreciation,’ as the best participant in the international program on financial inclusion.
On Sunday (June 1), NRBC Bank Managing Director and CEO Dr. Md. Touhidul Alam Khan received the letter of appreciation from Bangladesh Bank Deputy Governor Dr. Md. Habibur Rahman. Bangladesh Bank’s Financial Inclusion Department Executive Director, Md. Saiful Islam Khan was present on the occasion.
The Financial Inclusion Department of Bangladesh Bank awarded this recognition to 10 banks that participated in the experience exchange and product exhibition under the Bangladesh Bank-Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) joint learning program.
At the event, Deputy Governor Habibur Rahman said that financial inclusion activities work as a strength of the economy. By reaching out to the marginalized, banks encourage people to save, create awareness about banking services, and play a role in increasing people's income.
These activities help to eliminate income inequality in society, he said.
“We are happy to recognize 10 banks that are pioneers in financial inclusion activities. The activities of these banks have brightened the image of the country in the international arena,” he pointed out.
