In the conference, Nuruddin Md Sadeque Hussain, Managing Director (Current Charge) of Southeast Bank Limited handed over 'Hajj Card' to Md Abdur Rahim, Manager of Riyadul Zannah Travels & Tours and to Md Nasir Uddin, Managing Partner of Anika Aviation.

On the occasion, Basu said "We are delighted to be partnered with Southeast Bank and offer the Visa Hajj prepaid card to the Bank's customers. With the recent increase in quota for Bangladesh pilgrims traveling to Saudi Arabia, we are happy to give them a convenient way to pay digitally at thousands of merchant locations as well as withdraw cash from ATMs, instead of carrying a lot of cash for the pilgrimage. In addition, cardholders can load the card with Taka and pay for various purchases at Hajj without worrying about exorbitant exchange rates, with the confidence to travel cashless with Visa."

Owners and CEOs from other renowned Hajj Agencies as well as senior officials from Southeast Bank Limited and Visa were also present in the conference.
