Two-day 'Bangladesh Remittance Fair' will begin at the Jamaica Performing Arts Center in New York (NY) today (20th October) to increase remittance flow from the USA to Bangladesh.
The theme of the fair is 'New Opportunities, New Markets, New Partnerships'.
The Bangladesh-American Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mukto Dhara New York and the US-Bangla Business Link are jointly organising the event powered by Dhaka Bank.
Islamic Bank, National Bank and Bank Asia will be honored in the vent as the top remittance-receiving banks.
Focusing on promoting legal remittance flows and sustainable growth, the fair aims to explore how to increase these foreign earnings and encourage expatriates to utilise legitimate channels for remittance, thereby further energizing the economy.
The participating institutions include banks, financial institutions, money transfer operators, remittance channel partners, mobile financial services, offshore banking service providers, and expatriate small entrepreneurs.
Over 30 financial institutions from both Bangladesh and the United States, including IFIC Bank, Islami Bank, Standard Bank, Social Islamic Bank Limited, Dhaka Bank, Chevron Express, and Standard Express will take part in the event.
