Sonali Bank Opens Bangla QR Accounts on Weekend in Jamalpur
Sonali Bank branches in Jamalpur operated on Saturday, August 22, 2026, to open Bangla QR accounts for customers. The initiative aligns with Bangladesh Bank's efforts to make digital transactions easier and safer.
On Saturday, August 22, 2026, multiple branches of Sonali Bank located in Jamalpur town and Madarganj upazila were found operational despite it being a weekly holiday. Bank officials were actively engaged in working at these branches to facilitate the banking operations, specifically targeting the expansion of digital payment systems for the public in the region.
This special weekend operational push is part of a broader financial initiative involving Sonali Bank's network across the district. Official records confirm that there are a total of 19 branches of Sonali Bank operating throughout Jamalpur, all of which are participating in systematic efforts to scale up modern banking services for everyday consumers and local businesses alike.
The primary focus of these weekend operations is the opening of specialized Bangla QR accounts for customers. According to the strategic implementation plan, the set objective for these participating branches is to successfully open between 300 and 350 Bangla QR accounts per day, ensuring a rapid expansion of the digital platform among the local population.
The introduction of the Bangla QR code system has been spearheaded by the central authority, Bangladesh Bank. The primary purpose of launching this innovative platform is to make digital transactions significantly easier, more accessible, and fully secure for everyday users across the country, replacing cumbersome cash transactions with quick smartphone-based scanning.
While the digital transition is progressing, the specific weekend account-opening drive in Jamalpur and Madarganj involves local administrative oversight and participation. Named officials including Md. Shahidul Islam, Abdur Rahim, Zahirul Haque, and Muhammad Enamul Haque are connected to the regional operations of this extensive banking rollout.
As Sonali Bank continues to push forward with these directives from Bangladesh Bank, the ongoing weekend drives in Jamalpur and Madarganj upazila highlight the financial sector's commitment to achieving widespread digital adoption. By meeting daily targets of 300 to 350 new accounts per branch, the institution is steadily integrating more citizens into the modern cashless economy.
