BRAC Bank collaborates with Ascent Health

BRAC Bank has entered into a partnership with Ascent Health Limited to provide discounted diagnostic and consultation services to its employees and cardholders throughout Bangladesh, according to a press release.

As part of the agreement, BRAC Bank employees and their legal dependants—including spouses, children, parents, and in-laws—will be entitled to a 30 per cent discount on pathological tests where samples are collected from home, as well as on visits to consultation chambers. The bank’s debit and credit cardholders, along with their eligible dependants, will receive a 25 per cent discount on the same services.

Both groups will also be able to access consultations with specialist physicians across a range of medical disciplines. These include Internal Medicine, Respiratory Medicine, Rheumatology, Dermatology, Nephrology, Physical Medicine, Neurology, Gynaecology, and Paediatrics, among others. The inclusion of home-based sample collection services is intended to make diagnostic testing more accessible, particularly for individuals who may find it difficult to visit healthcare facilities.

The agreement was signed on 23 April 2026 at the head office of BRAC Bank, with senior representatives from both organisations present.

On behalf of BRAC Bank, the signing ceremony was attended by Md. Mahiul Islam, Deputy Managing Director and Head of Retail Banking; Khairuddin Ahmed Bappy, Head of Merchant Acquiring; and Md. Ashraful Alam, Head of Alliances, Retail Banking, alongside other senior officials. Representing Ascent Health Limited were Anwarul Iqbal, Chief Executive Officer; Amer Ahmed, Director of Business Development at Ascent Group; and Mohammad Kamruzzaman, Deputy General Manager of Sales – Corporate and B2C.

Md. Mahiul Islam said: “BRAC Bank believes that our responsibility to our people and customers extends well beyond financial services. This partnership with Ascent Health Limited brings quality healthcare within easier reach, whether for our coworkers and their families, or for the millions of customers who bank with us every day.”
