Southeast Bank Limited and Visa, the global leader in payments, jointly organized ‘Hajj Agent Conference’ to promote collaboration and partnership opportunities with the owners of Hajj and Umrah agencies recently.
In addition, the conference aimed to explore scopes to facilitate and benefit the Hajj and Umrah pilgrims.
Soumya Basu, Country Manager, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan, Visa said, “We are delighted to be partner with Southeast Bank and offer the Visa Hajj prepaid card to the Bank’s customers. With the recent increase in quota for Bangladesh pilgrims traveling to Saudi Arabia, we are happy to give them a convenient way to pay digitally at thousands of merchant locations as well as withdraw cash from ATMs, instead of carrying a lot of cash for the pilgrimage. In addition, cardholders can load the card with Taka and pay for various purchases at Hajj without worrying about exorbitant exchange rates, with the confidence to travel cashless with Visa.” Owners and CEOs from other renowned Hajj Agencies as well as senior officials from Southeast Bank Limited and Visa were also present in the conference.
Managing Director (Current Charge) of Southeast Bank Limited Nuruddin Md. Sadeque Hussain presided over the conference while Proprietor of Golden Bengal Tours and Travels and former Vice President of Hajj Agencies Associaiton of Bangladesh (HAAB) Farid Ahmed Mazumder were present among others.
