The transition from manual banking to its digital means is certainly not a new phenomenon for Bangladesh’s banking sector. But the advent of the coronavirus pandemic has had clients from all walks of life honing in on internet banking to cut the chances of contracting the deadly flu. Transactions through internet banking amounted to Tk 20,559 crore in December, up 154 per cent year-on-year and 21 per cent from that a month ago.Officials of the central bank and commercial banks say the banking sector has started taking up a wide range of initiatives since 2010 as part of its efforts to encourage the adoption of digital means.With the pandemic now starting to run out of steam, general people are still eagerly gripping onto internet banking, helping the government’s Digital Bangladesh agenda go from strength to strength.In September 2020, the BB increased the limit of inter-bank fund transfers through internet banking for clients, allowing a maximum of Tk 5 lakh per day against the previous Tk 2 lakh. The central bank also doubled the ceiling of a single transaction to Tk 1 lakh from Tk 50,000.There was 43 lakh such transactions in the banking sector in December, which is 83 per cent higher year-on-year.
