“Digital Bank” application time extended

A new web portal has been opened to accept the applications of those interested in launching a completely technology-based new type of bank ‘Digital Bank’. Application period is 42 days. But even within 40 days not a single organization applied. But many people have opened the user ID. MFS companies ‘Bikash’, ‘Nagad’ and mobile operator Banglalink have prepared their documents to get a digital bank license but have not submitted them yet.

Also some other organizations are preparing. One of these organizations is going to form a consortium. Many of them have applied for extension of application time. In such a situation, the central bank has extended the application period for another 16 days.র্
