Nagad, one of Bangladesh鈥檚 leading mobile financial service providers, has handed over a life insurance cheque worth Tk聽3.5 lakh to the family of Sentu Hawlader, a sales representative from the Narail region who lost his life in a road accident.
The cheque was handed over on Sunday to the deceased鈥檚 wife Sumaiya Islam and other family members at the head office of insurance partner Waadaa.Insure.
The cheque was handed over by Motasem Billah, administrator of Nagad appointed by Bangladesh Bank, and SK Khalidujjaman, associate director and chief marketing officer of Waadaa.Insure.
