Prime Bank distributes braille books to promote inclusive banking
Prime Bank PLC has distributed Braille books among persons with visual impairments as part of its efforts to promote inclusive banking and ensure access to financial knowledge for all.
The initiative was carried out recently in Savar in collaboration with Team Inclusion Bangladesh and reflects the bank's continued commitment to empowering underserved communities.
Building on its earlier consumer banking Braille book initiative, Prime Bank expanded the programme through the distribution of CMSME banking Braille books. The materials are designed to help visually impaired individuals better understand banking products, services and opportunities.

Recognising that inclusion extends beyond access to information, the bank also facilitated on-the-spot bank account opening services, enabling participants to immediately enter the formal banking system.
The programme was attended by Senior Executive Vice President and Head of Liability Shaila Abedin; Head of Financial Inclusion and School Banking M M Mahbub Hasan; and Head of Consumer Protection and Service Quality Kazi Reshad Mahboob, who interacted with members of the visually impaired community.
The event was presided over by Founder and Executive Director of Team Inclusion Bangladesh Md Jahirul Islam. Tanjila Kanij of Monash University and Swinburne University of Technology, Australia, along with other officials of Prime Bank, were also present.
The initiative underscores Prime Bank's approach to financial inclusion as a shared responsibility aimed at building a more accessible and inclusive banking ecosystem.
