Bank Asia Agent Banking introduces 'Wet Market Collection' service

Bank Asia Agent Banking for the first time has introduced wet market-centric customer service initiative 'Wet Market Collection' aiming to simplify, secure and digitize cash handling for small-large scale traders in local wet markets and make daily transactions more efficient and reliable.

Ziaul Hasan, deputy managing director and head of Channel Banking and CAMLCO, inaugurated the initiative at a programme held at Genda Bazar, Savar, on the outskirt of the capital on Tuesday, according to a statement.

K M Farid, president, Genda Bazar Babosahi Society, and senior officials of the bank were also present at the programme.

Bank Asia over the last 11 years has developed an extensive range of agent network with 5,036 agents, 70 per cent of which are wet market based. The extensive network has enabled effective distribution of touchpoints in rural corners of the country along with strategic locations of agents inside the wet markets, which in turn has facilitated Bank Asia Agent Banking to be the preferred solution for targeted stakeholders, reads the statements.
