The first ever solar-powered ATM [automated teller machine] of the country was launched today aiming at making banking services eco-friendly and saving non- renewable energy.
Bangladesh Bank (BB) Governor Dr Atiur Rahman inaugurated the ATM booth at headquarters of Al Falah Islami Bank in the city's Gulshan area, which would be using solar power instead of consuming grid power.
"This is part of the central bank's initiative of making banking sector more environment-friendly," the governor said and expected that more banks would soon join in the similar activities.
He said the central bank would provide necessary support to the banks to make their operation eco-friendly.
Al Falah Bank's country head SAA Masrur and country operation head Shahab Khattak attended the programme.
