Nagad has successfully distributed stipends for the Trust in the past.

He added that, because of this record, Nagad will stay a top choice for stipend payments from the Trust.
He said Nagad is trusted nationwide because it is easy to use.
In FY2024–25, Tk9,000 crore in allowances were disbursed through Nagad, with an increase expected this year.
Beneficiaries choose Nagad for its broad cash-out coverage and low charges.
