IBBPLC inaugurates Hajj Booth at Hajj camp

Islami Bank Bangladesh PLC inaugurated a special Hajj Booth at Hajjcamp, Ashkona, Dhaka, to provide pilgrims banking services, information and gifts.

Md Omar Faruk Khan, managing director (current charge) of the bank, inaugurated the booth recently as chief guest. AKM Mahbub Morshed, head of Dhaka North Zone; Md Maznuzzaman, head of the Business Promotion and Marketing Division; Nazrul Islam, head of the Brand and Communication Division; and other bank officials were present in the program. 

Every year, Islami Bank provides banking services, information, and gifts that are useful for Hajj to Hajj pilgrims by setting up a booth at the Hajj Camp in Ashkona. This year, Islami Bank launched a Hajj prepaid card for pilgrims to avoid the risks and hassles of carrying cash. A maximum of $1,200, equivalent to approximately BDT 1.5 lac, can be loaded on this card for performing Hajj. Pilgrims can use this card to withdraw Saudi Riyals from any ATM and purchase from Saudi Arabia's POS machines.

This card can be collected from any branch or sub-branch of Islami Bank besides the Hajj booth. This booth provides Saudi Riyal cash in exchange for Bangladeshi Taka and endorses dollars on debit and Khidmah cards (credit cards). Pilgrims are also getting the facility to withdraw money from ATM booths here. In addition to 24-hour banking services, leaflets and Hajj guidelines containing various information are given as gifts to raise awareness about the rules and procedures of performing Hajj.
