A daylong e-banking exhibition and conference, first of its kind in Bangladesh, begins in Dhaka today, organisers said.
State Minister for Science and Information and Communication Technology Yafes Osman is expected to open the fair.
Axiom Technologies Ltd of Bangladesh and Total Communication of Pakistan are jointly organising the event “1st e-Banking Exhibition and Conference”.
Fifteen local and overseas companies will participate in the fair and display their e-banking products and services in 25 stalls. The fair will take place at the ballroom of Dhaka Sheraton Hotel, organisers said.
They said except for foreign banks, the frontiers of e-banking in Bangladesh, only a few private banks are partly doing e-banking.
But banking services can be extended to people's doorsteps via e-banking, they added.
“We are organising the event to introduce banking technologies to local banking industry,” said Rizwan Bin Farouq, managing director of Axiom Technologies, at a press conference in Dhaka yesterday.
He said the exhibition will benefit the banking sector and its customers. The Bangladesh Association of Software Information Services, Bangladesh Leasing and Financial Companies Association (BLFCA), Association of Bankers Bangladesh Limited (ABB) and Pakistan Software Houses Association are supporting the fair.
The Daily Star is the media partner of the exhibition.
Niaz Habib, secretary of ABB, Anis A Khan, president of BLFCA, and Faisal Rahim, managing director of Total Communication, were present at the press meet.
