The largest state-owned Sonali Bank has formally launched mobile app-based banking service eWallet to generate more transactions, reducing their customers' time and energy.
Chairman of the Sonali Bank's Board of Directors Ziaul Hasan Siddiqui unveiled the Sonali eWallet services in the first hours of celebration of birth centenary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at the bank's head office on Wednesday, said a press release.
Speaking on the occasion, the bank's Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Md Ataur Rahman Prodhan said that cashless transaction would make clients' life easier.
He also stressed the need for meeting the growing demand of digitalisation to provide world class services to the customers.
Among others, members of the bank's board of directors, and deputy managing directors were present on the occasion.
While conducting transactions with the Sonali Bank Limited, the app users will also be able to transfer funds into the accounts opened with other banks, and see their account statements, mobile recharge, utility pay bill, credit cards bills, branches and ATM locations etc.
Both the Android and iOS users can download the app from Google Play or App Store.
Using the app, the customers will be able to conduct transactions through their accounts 24 hours of the day.
While conducting transactions, the bank's menu based application programme will secure transmitted data and almost every handset can support this feature.
On the app, the users will get visual direction to locate ATM booths and branches.
As a result, a user having no idea about a new area will be able to locate the nearest ATM booths and branches through Google Maps and street view service.
The bank authority has also ensured strong security in its app-based banking system through firewall, device ID, PIN number and One Time PIN (OTP), the release added.
