Deep dives
Bangladesh moving towards digital-only banks
Bangladesh is planning to open digital-only banks, allowing fintech companies with digital wallets to offer banking services. The move aims to cater to the growing demand for digital financial services, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when physical transactions were limited. While some people express enthusiasm for the convenience and accessibility of digital banking, others have concerns about cyber theft and the need for consumer awareness. The government's goal is to transform Bangladesh into a cashless society, but challenges include building infrastructure, ensuring strong regulation, and changing cultural habits.
