BRAC Bank has partnered with Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) to facilitate postpaid electricity bill payments through its nationwide distribution network and digital banking platforms, offering greater convenience to residential, commercial and industrial customers. BRAC Bank is the first private commercial bank to secure BPDB’s central account alongside a state-owned bank.
Under the agreement, BPDB customers will be able to pay their postpaid electricity bills through BRAC Bank’s branches and sub-branches, its retail banking app Astha, and corporate digital banking platform CORPNET.
BRAC Bank will also establish application programming interface (API) connectivity with BPDB to enable real-time updates of bill payment records. The integration will help streamline payment processing and reconciliation, making bill payments more convenient and efficient for customers.
The partnership is expected to benefit BPDB’s approximately 12 lakh postpaid customers by providing additional payment channels and enabling real-time updates of payment information.
The agreement was signed at BPDB’s Head Office in Dhaka on 22 September 2026.
Anjana Khan Mojlish, Member, Finance (Joint Secretary), said, “BRAC Bank has established a strong reputation through its customer-centric approach, compliance culture, sound governance and professional management. We are pleased to welcome BRAC Bank as a partner for online bill collection and look forward to a successful collaboration that will bring greater convenience to our customers.”
Md. Shaheen Iqbal, Additional Managing Director and Head of Wholesale Banking, BRAC Bank, said, “This partnership reflects our continued focus on making everyday banking and payment services more accessible and convenient. By combining our nationwide distribution network with digital banking capabilities, we aim to simplify electricity bill payments for BPDB customers. We look forward to expanding similar partnerships with public and private-sector organisations to deliver seamless payment solutions.”
Representing BPDB at the ceremony were Saleh Ahmed, Director, Finance; Engr. Md. Abdul Basid, Member, Distribution; Mohammed Nurul Absar, General Manager, Commercial; and Mriganka Mohan Paul, Senior System Analyst, Dhaka Computer Center.
BRAC Bank was represented by A.K.M. Faisal Halim, Head of Transaction Banking; Musabbir Ahmed, Head of Cash Management; and Shaikh Mohammad Imran Quader, Regional Head, Distribution Network. Other senior officials from both organisations were also present.
The collaboration reinforces BRAC Bank’s commitment to expanding digital collection and payment solutions for public-sector organisations, while improving access to essential payment services for customers across Bangladesh.
