The UK-based Global Brands Magazine has honoured Tanvir A Mishuk, founder and managing director of Nagad, with the ‘Fintech Personality of the Year 2022’ award.
Additionally, the postal department's mobile financial service provider 'Nagad’ won ‘the best innovative digital financial services brand’ award, according to a press release.
The prestigious publication 'Global Brands Magazine’ recently announced the award in its 10th edition. The magazine has been recognising innovations and accomplishments in several businesses such as fintech, banking, education, and technology.
This year, the magazine awarded the best organisations in 11 industries, including airlines, banking and finance, fintech, consultancy, education, education technology, the stock market, insurance, investment, leadership, and technology.
This year, Sergey Sedov of Robocash Group of Singapore won the ‘Financial Technology Leader of the Year Award’ Singapore, Simon Hu of Ant Group of China won the ‘Best Financial Technology Leader Award’, Shayne Nelson of Emirates NBD won the award for ‘Best Financial Leader’ from UAE and ‘Vijay Shekhar Sharma of PayTM’ won the award for Best Fintech Leader Award from India.
The press release said Tanvir A Mishuk was selected for his exceptional contribution to financial inclusion through 'Nagad’. He has managed to bring over 60 million people into financial inclusion in only three years, who were previously excluded from financial inclusion.
Expressing pleasure for receiving the award, Tanvir A Mishuk said, “The accomplishment belongs to my hardworking colleagues as well, in whose hands, I believe Nagad will continue to grow.”
Nagad has positioned itself as the country's second-largest MFS provider in less than 2 years through a series of innovations and customer-centric services since its establishment. 'Nagad' has already won a number of awards from both domestic and international institutions.
Earlier, in 2021 ‘Inclusive Fintech 50’, a well-reputed group of global organisations selected Nagad as the world's best fintech startup of the year.
In the same year, Nagad was recognised through ‘WITSA Global ICT Excellence Award-2019’ at the World Congress of Information Technology conference.
Nagad was the first MFS from Bangladesh to bag this award for accelerating the country's financial inclusion. Previously, the Bangladesh government awarded 'Nagad' in recognition of its contribution to building a digital Bangladesh at the ‘Digital Bangladesh Fair 2020’.
