Prime Bank distributes Braille books to enhance financial literacy

Prime Bank PLC has taken another meaningful step toward inclusive banking by distributing Braille books among persons with visual impairments, ensuring that financial knowledge is accessible to all. 

The initiative, carried out recently in Savar in collaboration with Team Inclusion Bangladesh, reflects the Bank's deep commitment to empowering underserved communities, says a press release. 

Building on its earlier Consumer Banking Braille books initiative, Prime Bank expanded its efforts through the distribution of CMSME Banking Braille books, enabling visually impaired individuals to better understand banking products, services and opportunities.

Recognizing that access goes beyond information, the Bank also arranged on-the-spot bank account opening services, allowing participants to immediately enter the formal banking system.

The programme was attended by Senior Executive Vice President and Head of Liability Shaila Abedin; Head of Financial Inclusion and School Banking M M Mahbub Hasan and Head of Consumer Protection and Service Quality Kazi Reshad Mahboob, who interacted with members of the visually impaired community.
