Chattogram Port has launched a digital payment system, enabling users to pay port-related bills online anytime, from anywhere. This marks a significant move towards digital transformation and easing trade operations.
Developed in partnership with Eastern Bank PLC (EBL), the new platform aims to cut time, cost, and manual hassles for port users. The system was officially inaugurated by Shipping Adviser Brig Gen (retired) M Sakhawat Hussain, who praised the public-private partnership model behind the initiative.
Chattogram City Mayor Shahadat Hossain highlighted the launch as a step towards building a “Smart Chattogram,” while CPA Chairman Rear Admiral SM Moniruzzaman emphasized the need for digital adaptation to stay competitive in the global maritime sector. EBL Managing Director Ali Reza Iftekhar described the system as a secure, unified platform offering various payment options, including cards, EFTs, corporate channels like EBLConnect, and traditional over-the-counter services.
