How BRAC Bank Aporajeyo Desh transforms Bagerhat

Breaking News, Business

Bagerhat sits where the Sundarbans meets the Bay of Bengal — tidal, low-lying, and increasingly saline. Cyclones, tidal surges, and erratic rainfall have repeatedly rewritten its agricultural map, leaving farmers to battle salt-laden soil, scarce freshwater, and climate uncertainty every season. In this landscape, every drop of water, every inch of arable land, and every informed decision can mean the difference between survival and loss. Against this backdrop, BRAC Bank, in collaboration with BRAC, launched Aporajeyo Desh in 2025 — a flagship CSR initiative aimed at building climate resilience, environmental sustainability, and livelihood security for vulnerable coastal communities. The programme spans four upazilas — Sarankhola, Morrelganj, Mongla, and Rampal — reaching nearly 46,000 ...

From hills to coastal belts: how BRAC Bank’s Agent Banking takes banking to the remotest communities

Breaking News, Business

For decades, banking in Bangladesh meant cities - paved roads, tall buildings and glass-fronted branches. For people in remote forests, riverine chars, hilly areas and coastal belts, visiting a bank was often difficult. That is changing. Today, formal banking is reaching some of the country’s most isolated communities. From villages near forest belts and islands formed by river erosion, to hilly districts and cyclone-prone coasts, people can now access basic banking services close to home. In many places, a small Agent Banking Outlet on a village road, run by a trusted local agent of the bank, handles deposits, withdrawals and other transactions. BRAC Bank’s Agent Banking Channel has been central to this change. Why Agent Banking matters Bangladesh’s varied geography creates real ...
