Janata Bank PLC has introduced a new low-cost remittance service for expatriates living in the United Arab Emirates. From now on, money can be sent directly to bKash wallets through four UAE branches—Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Sharjah, and Dubai.

The service was officially inaugurated on Monday (May 18) at Janata Bank’s head office through a simple ceremony. The inauguration was conducted virtually by Tariq Ahmed, the Ambassador of Bangladesh to the UAE.

The event was chaired by Md. Fazlur Rahman. Also present were Managing Director Md. Mojibur Rahman, Deputy Managing Director Kazi Abdur Rahman, and General Manager of the head office Mohammad Anis. From bKash, Head of Remittance Zahidul Ahsan and Tanvir Mahmud were present at the event.

It was stated that through this new service, expatriates will be able to send money to their family members’ bKash wallets in Bangladesh quickly, securely, and at a lower cost. This initiative is expected to simplify the remittance process and increase the flow of expatriate income through formal channels.

Senior officials from Janata Bank’s UAE operations and other units also joined the event online.
