Log on to thedailystar.net to leave your comments. Consumers will get their first taste of the landmark online banking reform. But that's just the start. Between now and onward, a whole raft of new rules will take effect aimed at levelling the playing field between card issuers and consumers, who all too often have found themselves powerless to challenge onerous and abusive lending practices.
Balaram Sengupta This is great news for all. But Internet security must be ensured by the authorities.
Nigar Sultana Really, we are gradually entering the era of Digital Bangladesh. If the initiative of the central bank becomes successful, people will no longer curse their fate for being a citizen of Bangladesh.
Shymal Kumar Mukherjee Let us go for true e-commerce. Thanks to the policy makers and the reporter for sharing the good news.
Md. Abdul Hakim Bhuiyan This is one of the biggest steps to digitalise Bangladesh, however people also need to know how to keep their identities and money secure. In Western countries banks are losing millions of dollars because of online theft. However, the banks are paying for it.
Raaef Khan Security measures to these online services are very critical. High priority must be set for appropriate design and implementation. Misuse of the system can be a great disaster for a developing country like Bangladesh.
Quamrul Khan Bangladesh Bank took about 10 years to introduce the online transaction facility. We are too late.
Mohammed Uddin While e-payment gateway is like rain, my eye is on the rainbow. It is imperative that Bangladesh utilise e-banking and have a position in the emerging economies. Clearly, we are now one step ahead!
MA Faisal Mahmud No doubt it is a trendsetter initiative. But cyber security is one of major issues of consideration for successful implementation of online banking.
Edward Apurba Singha The authorities, thank you very much. This should have been implemented at least 4-5 years back. Anyhow, we need to implement it as fast as possible. Having fully loaded e-banking will not only provide the users' flexibility, but also reduce people's movement - reduce jam, save time and will usher in a new era of many online businesses . Well done, the government!
Imrul This is the stepping stone for bigger and better things to shape up in our country through the adoption of the modern way of banking/transaction. I am still waiting for that day when we would be allowed to do online transaction through foreign currency. Let us embrace this change and take whatever measures are warranted to facilitate e-commerce.
Shahriar Hyder Its really a matter of joy that finally we are getting the modern facilities.
Mizan As the technology gets deployed & rolled out for individual clients, we then need to focus on training the bank staff on how to keep the back-end environment secure as well as educating clients on how to use the web interface confidently. Once sustainability is assured, we'll see people coming on board to benefit from this new facility.. this is great news!
Shamim Ahmed I really appreciate that the online payment system is going to be established. It will reduce our hassle in long queues to pay utilities bills. I am looking forward to using the facilities of online banking.
Muslima Begum I am sure it'll encourage many more foreign investors to start business here. I should say this day would be a milestone for many developments in future. Thanks to all who were involved in making this decision.
Nazimuddaula Good initiative taken. Thanks to all concerned, especially to the BB Governor. This can save a lot of our precious time and we can do our own core jobs giving enough time. Everyone should be thinking like this…
Imtiaz Anwar This revolution of online banking will exert a positive influence on our money market economy.
Mohammad Ali It's the news of the day. It will be a boon to the NRBs who would be able to pay their utility bills, property taxes etc. promptly and timely, though living thousands of miles away from home. It's great.
AZM S Alam It's really a remarkable development for Bangladeshi economy. To get full benefit of it we need to ensure that we have high-speed and uninterrupted Internet and electricity everywhere in the country. Like many others, I also want to give much emphasis on online transaction's security. This should come first.
