DHAKA, Nov 2, 2023 (BSS) - The second batch of Nagad distributors left Hazrat
Shahjalal International Airport for Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah last night.

Some 163 Nagad distributors out of 213 across the country will be able to
perform Umrah, according to a Nagad press release issued today.

It said two teams have already departed for Saudi Arabia and each team is
accompanied by Nagad representatives who hold the title of "Regional Sales
Manager" for their respective regions.

The costs of Umrah team will be borne by Founder and Managing director of
Nagad Ltd. Tanvir A Mishuk.

Earlier, Nagad's managing director announced that he would arrange Umrah for
Muslim distributors and Dubai trips for those of other faiths at the
Distributors Meet 2023 named "Aponjon".

The country's leading mobile financial service provider rewards its
distributors each year.

Nagad is responsible for managing the expenses of the distributors, who
travel from Dhaka to Umrah and then back to Dhaka. They will perform
religious rituals for a period of 7 nights and 8 days in the sacred cities of
Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.

Additionally, they have the option to bring along their family members if
they choose to do so.

During this pilgrimage, all the distributors will enjoy five-star hotel
accommodations with meals provided. Furthermore, Nagad is covering all
expenses, which include visa costs, Umrah fees, internal transportation, and
overseeing all other logistical arrangements.

In addition to arranging the Umrah pilgrimage for Muslim distributors, Nagad
has also arranged trips for non-Muslim distributors heading to Dubai.
Fourteen distributors are embarking on a 3-night and 4-day excursion to
Dubai, and Nagad is handling all the necessary arrangements and expenses for
the trips.

Shihab Uddin Chowdhury, chief commercial officer of Nagad Ltd. said,
"Distributors are the key force of Nagad, and we regard them as our most
essential partners. Our venture into the digital banking realm is, in part, a
testament to their outstanding performance. We take immense pride in these
individuals embarking on their Umrah pilgrimage from the holy house of Allah;
it's a significant accomplishment for us. Additionally, we have also made
travel arrangements for our non-Muslim distributors. We look forward to
continuing our journey together for the long term."
