Bangladesh Bank Governor Md. Mostaqur Rahman inaugurated Bangla QR at a programme at BRAC University on Thursday.

BRAC Bank has rolled out Bangla QR at BRAC University to facilitate cashless transactions on its campus in Dhaka, taking a significant step towards supporting Bangladesh Bank's "Cashless Bangladesh" initiative.
Bangladesh Bank Governor Md. Mostaqur Rahman inaugurated the initiative as the chief guest at a ceremony at the university on Thursday, says a press statement.
Prof Syed Ferhat Anwar, Vice-Chancellor, BRAC University; A.N.M. Moinul Kabir, Director, Payment Department-1; Md. Sharafat Ullah Khan, Director, Payment Systems Department-2, Bangladesh Bank; and Tareq Refat Ullah Khan, Managing Director & CEO, BRAC Bank; along with students and faculty members were present.
Prof Arshad Mahmud Chowdhury, Pro-Vice-Chancellor; Ariful Islam, Treasurer; and Prof Mohammad Mujibul Haque, Dean of BRAC Business School, BRAC University, were also present.
As part of the programme, the governor held an interactive session with students, answering their questions on Bangla QR, digital payments, and Bangladesh Bank's initiatives to promote a cashless economy.
Under this initiative, financial transactions on the BRAC University campus -- including tuition and academic fees, cafeteria and retail payments, and other day-to-day transactions -- can be completed through Bangla QR and other digital banking channels.
The initiative also supports Bangladesh Bank's national strategy to expand digital payments through Bangla QR, the country's interoperable QR payment platform. The platform allows customers of banks and mobile financial service providers to make instant payments using a single QR code, regardless of their financial service provider.
Commenting on the initiative, Tareq Refat Ullah Khan, Managing Director & CEO of BRAC Bank, said, "This initiative demonstrates how technology can make everyday transactions simpler, faster, and more secure. We are delighted to partner with BRAC University in launching Bangladesh's first cashless campus and remain committed to supporting Bangladesh Bank's vision of a Cashless Bangladesh through innovative and inclusive digital payment solutions."
The event was organised with the assistance of students of the Finance and Accounting Club of BRAC University (FINACT).
