Nagad and Kori have been granted digital banking licences by Bangladesh's financial regulatory authority, marking a significant expansion in the country's fintech sector. The licences enable both entities to operate as digital banks, offering a range of financial services to customers across the nation.
Digital banking licences represent a major milestone for financial technology companies in Bangladesh, as they allow institutions to provide comprehensive banking services through digital platforms without maintaining extensive physical branch networks. This regulatory approval reflects the government's commitment to promoting financial inclusion and digital transformation within the banking sector. The move is expected to enhance competition in the financial services market and provide consumers with innovative, technology-driven banking solutions.
The licensing of Nagad and Kori demonstrates growing confidence in Bangladesh's digital finance ecosystem and positions these companies to contribute meaningfully to the country's ongoing financial digitalization efforts. Both entities are now positioned to expand their service offerings and reach underserved populations through digital banking channels, aligning with national priorities for financial inclusion and digital economy development.
