Standard Chartered Bangladesh has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) to introduce an exclusive Priority Banking proposition for eligible ICAB members.
The initiative is designed to recognise the contribution of Chartered Accountants (CAs) to good governance, transparency and sustainable economic growth by offering a range of customised banking and lifestyle benefits.
Subject to applicable terms and conditions, eligible ICAB members will have access to preferential banking and financing solutions, including savings on ICAB membership and practitioner fees, cashback and fee waivers on selected products, lifestyle and travel privileges, and complimentary supplementary debit cards.
Under the partnership, eligible members will also have access to Standard Chartered’s broader Priority Banking services, including dedicated Relationship Manager support, Bancassurance solutions and Islamic Banking services through Standard Chartered Saadiq.
Commenting on the partnership, Enamul Huque, Chief Executive Officer of Standard Chartered Bangladesh, said Chartered Accountants play an important role in ensuring good governance and transparency and in safeguarding business and policy frameworks in Bangladesh and globally.
“Our partnership with ICAB recognises this important contribution. Through this proposition, we aim to offer them convenience, meaningful value and a tailored banking experience in managing their personal finances,” he said.
Sabbir Ahmed FCA, President of ICAB, said delivering value to members remained an important priority for the institute.
“We welcome this collaboration with Standard Chartered, which brings together benefits that address both the professional and personal financial needs of Chartered Accountants,” he said.
He added that the banking and financing benefits would help members manage their financial priorities with greater flexibility.
The MoU was signed by Enamul Huque and Sabbir Ahmed FCA at a ceremony attended by senior representatives from both organisations.
