As many as 52 companies have applied for the digital banking license since the web portal opened, which has exceeded our expectations. As a result, we will now proceed to thoroughly verify all the applications, according to Bangladesh Bank Executive Director and Spokesperson, Md Mezbaul Haque on Sunday, 20 August.
