The second batch of Nagad distributors left Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport for Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah last night.
Some 163 Nagad distributors out of 213 across the country will be able to perform Umrah, according to a Nagad press release issued on Thursday.
It said two teams have already departed for Saudi Arabia and each team is accompanied by Nagad representatives who hold the title of "Regional Sales Manager" for their respective regions.
The costs of Umrah team will be borne by Founder and Managing director of Nagad Ltd. Tanvir A Mishuk.
Earlier, Nagad's managing director announced that he would arrange Umrah for Muslim distributors and Dubai trips for those of other faiths at the Distributors Meet 2023 named "Aponjon".
The country's leading mobile financial service provider rewards its distributors each year.
Nagad is responsible for managing the expenses of the distributors, who travel from Dhaka to Umrah and then back to Dhaka. They will perform religious rituals for a period of 7 nights and 8 days in the sacred cities of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.
Additionally, they have the option to bring along their family members if they choose to do so.
During this pilgrimage, all the distributors will enjoy five-star hotel accommodations with meals provided. Furthermore, Nagad is covering all expenses, which include visa costs, Umrah fees, internal transportation, and overseeing all other logistical arrangements.
