Leading telecom operator Grameenphone and Prime Bank Fintech Limited have announced a strategic partnership to expand inclusive and seamless financial services nationwide. Grameenphone CEO Yasir Azman and Prime Bank Fintech CEO Sheikh Aminur Rahman recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at GP House to this end. Through this collaboration, the integration of Grameenphone’s extensive digital ecosystem with Prime Bank Fintech’s financial platform is expected to accelerate the reach of mobile financial services.
In a statement issued on Sunday (May 3), Grameenphone said that under the agreement, its customers will be able to easily perform mobile recharges using Prime Bank Fintech’s MFS platform.
