BRAC Bank awards Royal Enfield to top remittance customer

BRAC Bank PLC has named the winner of its three-month-long foreign remittance campaign and awarded him a Royal Enfield motorcycle as the first prize.

Tareq Refat Ullah Khan, managing director and CEO of BRAC Bank, handed over the prize to Mohammad Naser, a customer of the Muradpur Branch in Chattogram and the campaign's top remittance customer, at an award ceremony held in the capital today, according to a press release.

Commenting on the initiative, Khan said, "At BRAC Bank, we place strong strategic focus on facilitating the flow of foreign remittances. By broadening remittance-receiving accounts and strengthening cash pick-up facilities through our extensive network of branches, sub-branches, and agent banking outlets, we are working to channel greater volumes of foreign currency into the country."

He added, "This initiative not only enhances the bank's liquidity and supports vital sectors such as international trade, but also contributes to strengthening Bangladesh's foreign exchange reserves, while raising public awareness on the importance of sending remittances through secure and legal channels."

The bank launched the campaign to encourage expatriate Bangladeshis to channel their hard-earned money through legal and secure channels. Through this customer engagement, BRAC Bank aims to reinforce its position as a leading player in Bangladesh's international remittance market.

Md Shaheen Iqbal, deputy managing director and head of treasury and financial institutions at the bank, and Shahrear Zamil, head of remittance and probashi banking, along with other senior officials, were also present.
