Robi launches mobile remittance service

For the first time in Bangladesh, mobile operator Robi Axiata Limited and Eastern Bank Limited (EBL) have begun a mobile remittance to facilitate Bangladeshi expatriates living abroad to transfer money through mobile phone.

Speaking on the occasion Managing Director & CEO of Robi, Michael Kuehner said, "This will strengthen Robi's commitment to its customers as m-remittance will make remittance collection more convenient."

In order to collect remittance beneficiary needs to show and submit a photocopy of original identity document (National ID/passport/driving license) & transaction ID to the Robi Service Partner (RSP) outlet. Upon diligent verification RSP will payout the remitted amount to the beneficiary.

Initially the service will be launched at RSP’s of Dhaka, Comilla and Chittagong region. Gradually the service will spread out all over Bangladesh.

Customers of any mobile operator can receive remittance service from RSP and remittance recipients can get this service free of cost.
