BRAC Bank hosted a regional compliance meet that brought over two hundred officials together to strengthen good governance and make sure rules are followed across branches. The day-long meeting opened with clear aims: reinforce compliance in every transaction, share practical steps to prevent money laundering, and build stronger links between branch teams, retail sales, SME staff and regional managers. More than forty six branches and sub-branches from two regions joined, along with people from premium banking and the SME wing, so the talks matched the work of both city teams and field staff. Speakers included experts from the country’s financial intelligence unit and leaders from the bank’s anti-money laundering, internal control, compliance and branch governance teams, who used simple case studies, quizzes and interactive sessions to make ideas easy to use at work. Participants learned how to spot risky activities early, follow clear reporting steps, and keep records that help both customers and regulators. The bank’s managing director and chief executive officer praised the frontline staff and said compliance should be part of every decision so customers get steady and fair service while the bank stays strong. Regional and unit heads joined the program to offer clear guidance and to answer questions from branch teams, helping make sure policies fit local needs and can be used at once. Organizers also recognized the most compliant branches, which helped teams see what good practice looks like and gave others simple models to follow. Leaders said the meet aimed to create ownership of rules from top managers down to branch officers so that work stays transparent and steady even as services grow. Training will continue after the event, with follow-up workshops and local coaching so staff can practice new steps on real files, and managers will use regular reviews to watch progress and support teams that need help. The sessions stressed teamwork across departments, so sales staff, branch operations and compliance officers can act together to protect customers and reduce risk without slowing normal services. By making rules easy to use and by rewarding steady practice, the bank expects to build a stronger culture where rules are followed every day and customers can trust services. This practical push can help the bank meet regulatory targets, improve service quality, and lower chances of fines or failures that hurt customers. Officials said the meet shows how a clear plan, steady training and open communication can make compliance a normal part of bank work and help branches grow responsibly while serving more people across towns and cities. The bank will also share simple guides, run mock checks, and link branch targets to rewards so progress is visible and good practice spreads quickly across all regions now.
