Fintech · The book
Digital Revolution Drives Finclusion
To make the dream of a digital Bangladesh a reality, financial inclusion of the people of all walks of life has no alternative. My only goal while leading Nagad is to make financial transactions effortless for everyone. The path hasn't been an easy one — but my motto has always been: let's build the way and walk through.
The stories of this quest towards making financial inclusion a reality for all, and the thoughts on the future of financial institutions in a digital Bangladesh, are compiled in this book. Anyone who shares the passion for transforming Bangladesh into a thriving digital nation should read it to contemplate what we must do to make the dream a reality.
