Dana Fintech wins major award for innovation in AI-driven finance

Dana Fintech Ltd. has been honoured with the "FinTech Innovation of the Year – Tech" award at the Mastercard presents 3rd Bangladesh Fintech Award, powered by Prime Bank, in recognition of its pioneering innovation — Dana AI.

The accolade marks a major milestone in Dana Fintech's mission to transform financial access in Bangladesh, underscoring its commitment to leveraging artificial intelligence and technology to advance inclusion, efficiency, and impact across the country's financial ecosystem.

For banks and financial service providers, Dana AI delivers ready-to-apply customers, improving client acquisition and lowering customer acquisition costs. The solution also includes a gamified financial literacy module, rewarding users with cashback for completing money management lessons.

Dana Fintech co-founders Gazi Yar Mohammed and Zia Hassan Siddique said the innovation reflects their vision to democratise access to financial knowledge and credit. "Our goal is to make fair finance and financial education accessible to everyone. Dana AI is a step toward a more inclusive financial future for Bangladesh," they said.
