Bangla QR is Bangladesh's unified national QR payment standard, allowing customers of participating banks, mobile financial service providers and payment service providers to make payments using a single QR code.
The platform enables payments regardless of the customer's financial institution.
By replacing multiple proprietary QR codes with a single interoperable platform, Bangla QR is expected to improve convenience, reduce merchant costs, increase operational efficiency, and support a secure and inclusive digital payment ecosystem.
ONE Bank said it is contributing to the expansion of interoperable digital payments through its digital platforms.
OK Wallet serves as both an issuer and acquirer of Bangla QR, allowing customers to make payments and merchants to accept interoperable digital payments.
ONEApps serves as an issuer, enabling ONE Bank customers to scan Bangla QR codes and securely make payments to merchants.
Muhit Rahman, Managing Director of ONE Bank PLC, inaugurated the campaign.
Md Anwarul Islam, Deputy Managing Director, Chief Legal Officer, and Head of the Recovery Division; Kazi Ziaul Islam, Deputy Managing Director and Head of Financial Services and Public Sector; and Iftekhar Ahmed Zafar, Deputy Managing Director and Head of the Transaction and Investment Banking Divisions, led the campaign.
More than 200 senior officials of the bank attended the launch.
ONE Bank said it remains committed to supporting the country's digital transformation agenda by delivering secure, convenient and innovative banking solutions for customers.
