The event highlighted the convenience, security and role of cashless transactions in advancing digital financial inclusion.

State Minister for Planning Md. Jonayed Abdur Rahim Saki, MP, attended the event as the chief guest. Bangladesh Bank Executive Director Arief Hossain Khan and former Pubali Bank Managing Director Md. Abdul Halim Chowdhury were present as special guests.

Speakers at the event emphasized that Bangla QR enables customers to make secure, fast and convenient digital payments across different banks and mobile financial service providers using a single QR code. They noted that the government’s efforts to reduce cash usage and build a technology-driven financial system are being supported by initiatives such as Cashless Dhanmondi, which they said would further strengthen Bangladesh’s digital economy.

Following the discussion, participants joined an awareness campaign on cashless transactions and called on the public to adopt Bangla QR to accelerate the country’s transition toward a digital payment ecosystem.
