CORPnet Accelerates Corporate Digital Shift

BRAC Bank has reported a robust year for its corporate internet banking platform, CORPnet, which processed Tk 2.273 trillion (Tk 227,321 crore) through approximately 8 million digital transactions in 2025. The figures reflect a decisive shift among businesses in Bangladesh towards digital financial operations, driven by efficiency, transparency, and speed.

The platform recorded a 43 per cent year-on-year increase in transaction value, alongside a 38 per cent growth in transaction volume. Such expansion illustrates how corporate clients are increasingly embracing digital channels to manage complex financial activities, ranging from bulk payments to real-time collections.

Annual Performance Summary

By the end of the year, CORPnet had onboarded approximately 2,500 corporate clients, with more than 900 joining during 2025 alone. Notably, around two-thirds of these clients actively use the platform for their daily banking requirements, indicating a high level of engagement and operational reliance.

Built for Efficiency and Scale

CORPnet provides a comprehensive digital solution that enables businesses to execute payments, manage collections, access reports, and submit service requests through a single interface. Its continuous availability allows authorised users to approve and process transactions at any time, ensuring uninterrupted financial operations.

Integration capabilities remain a key strength of the platform. Through host-to-host connectivity and application programming interfaces, CORPnet connects seamlessly with corporate enterprise systems, enabling automated workflows and reducing the need for manual intervention. Businesses also benefit from real-time visibility into their cash positions, supporting better financial planning and control.

Security measures have been carefully embedded within the system. Multi-level authorisation structures, end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, and instant notifications ensure that transactions are conducted securely and in compliance with governance standards. Additional features, including automated payroll processing, bulk payment uploads, government bill payments, and digital instruments such as A4 cheques and pay orders, further enhance operational efficiency.

Precision in Collections Management

CORPnet’s collection solutions, particularly Direct Debit Instructions and Virtual Account Management, offer businesses enhanced control over incoming funds. A single bank account can be divided into multiple virtual accounts assigned to specific clients, regions, or business units. This structure enables automatic reconciliation and improves financial clarity across large organisations.

Serving a Diverse Corporate Base

The platform caters to a wide spectrum of industries, including telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, education, healthcare, logistics, and international organisations. Its adaptability ensures that it can support varying transaction volumes, regulatory requirements, and operational complexities within a unified system.

Tareq Refat Ullah Khan, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of BRAC Bank, observed that CORPnet is reshaping how businesses handle financial management. He noted that digital transactions significantly reduce manual effort, minimise paper usage, and enable faster, more informed decision-making.

Looking ahead, the bank aims to further enhance CORPnet by integrating advanced analytical capabilities and expanding its service offerings. As adoption continues to grow, the platform is set to play an increasingly central role in advancing corporate digital banking in Bangladesh.
