2 Chattogram cattle markets to go cashless

Two Chattogram cattle markets are set to introduce cashless transactions ahead of Eid-ul-Azha.

Bangladesh Bank, in collaboration with the Chattogram City Corporation, will introduce the system at Sagarika Cattle Market and Nur Nagar Housing Cattle Market this year.

A delegation from Bangladesh Bank presented the detailed plan to Chattogram City Mayor M Rezaul Karim Chowdhury at the CCC office on Thursday.

The delegation highlighted the central bank's strategy to gradually extend digital transaction facilities across cattle markets nationwide.

Digital transaction booths will be set up to offer various services, including ATM facilities, mobile financial transactions, and digital banking services aiming to provide a seamless and secure transaction experience for both buyers and sellers at these cattle markets.

The meeting was attended by the mayor's Private Secretary Muhammad Abul Hashem, CCC Chief Accounting Officer Humayun Kabir Chowdhury, Bangladesh Bank Additional Director Md Habibur Rahman, Joint Director Md Rashedul Islam, Deputy Director Tanveer Ahmed, and Mastercard Bangladesh Country Manager Syed Mohammad Kamal.
