Trust Bank PLC has received the ‘Top Ten Remittance Award 2026’ at the opening session of the World Conference Series 2026 (WCS 2026), held under the theme “Branding Bangladesh Beyond Bangladesh”. The event was organised by the Center for NRB and took place at the Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel on 12 April 2026, according to a press release.
The award was accepted on behalf of the bank by Md. Kamal Hossain Sarker, Deputy Managing Director and Head of the Islamic Banking Division. The recognition places the bank among financial institutions acknowledged for their role in facilitating remittance inflows to Bangladesh.
The programme was presided over by M. S. Sekil Chowdhury, Chairman of the organising organisation. The chief guest was Zahir Uddin Swapan, Minister of Information and Broadcasting. Special guests included Shama Obaed, State Minister for Foreign Affairs; Nurul Haque Nur, State Minister for Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment; and Fazle Elahi Akbar, former Force Commander of United Nations Peacekeeping Forces.
The event was attended by representatives from the banking sector, business leaders, and professionals from a range of fields. Their participation reflected continued engagement among stakeholders in matters relating to remittance services and the contribution of expatriate Bangladeshis to the national economy.
Remittances constitute a significant source of foreign exchange earnings for Bangladesh. Financial institutions play a central role in ensuring that funds sent by expatriates are transferred through secure and efficient channels. Recognition through awards such as the Top Ten Remittance Award highlights institutions that demonstrate performance in this area.
Although the press release did not provide detailed selection criteria or comparative data, the award indicates Trust Bank PLC’s position within the country’s remittance services sector. The conference also served as a forum for discussion on strengthening Bangladesh’s global economic profile and enhancing engagement with the non-resident Bangladeshi community.
