Brain Station-23 and banking services apps

Kaniz Suleman is in a hurry. She needs to go to the bank to withdraw money for her family expenses, but the severe traffic is throwing a roadblock in her plans. Her neighbor suggested she avoid the bank altogether, 'I transfer money and perform all transactions using my mobile phone apps.' Why suffer in a queue?

Mobile phone banking is now the next big thing especially for people of our busy cities. Everything from paying bills and mobile top-up to managing loans and credit payments can be done with your cellphone.

This has resulted in several banks adopting this new shift by developing mobile apps. Prominent banks like City Bank, Mutual Trust Bank, First Security Islami Bank, Dutch Bangla Bank have developed their own apps. Various software firms including Brain Station-23 are behind the success stories of these app based services. Over a hundred local and foreign organisations including HSBC, City Bank, AB Bank, IFIC Bank, BAT, GrameenPhone are receiving services from Brain Station.

'At present, all organisations in the world are taking their services to the customers' hands through technology. Banks are also not lagging behind,' said Raisul Kabir, Managing Director to Brain Station-23. 'We hope that the remaining banks in our country will get closer to customers through mobile apps very soon.'
