VEON's Mobilink and Banglalink Shine at Global Awards Ceremony
VEON's Remarkable Achievements at M360 Asia-Pacific
VEON Ltd., a prominent global digital operator, recently announced a significant milestone for its subsidiaries Mobilink Microfinance Bank and Banglalink. These companies were honored with three prestigious awards at the M360 APAC, a key event hosted by GSMA for the Asia Pacific region, showcasing outstanding contributions to digital inclusion.
The Importance of the Digital Nations Award
The "Digital Nations Award" is designed to celebrate the role of mobile technology in transforming societies. With entries from 11 different countries, including India, Japan, and Thailand, the competition emphasizes the impactful innovations that are redefining the digital landscape across nations.
Honors for Mobilink Bank's Innovative Campaigns
Mobilink Microfinance Bank was awarded the "Digital Nations Video Creativity Award" for its compelling campaign titled "Invisible Heirs." This powerful video addresses a vital social issue where women often face challenges in claiming their rightful inheritance. The campaign introduced a groundbreaking inheritance calculator that enables women to determine their inheritance rights easily, thereby empowering them in a traditionally complex and opaque process. Additionally, Quratulain Chaudhary, who heads Women's Financial Services and Sustainability at Mobilink Bank, received the "Women Digital Leadership Award" for her exceptional contributions to the field.
Banglalink's Contribution to Healthcare Accessibility
Another notable winner at this year’s event was Banglalink, which received the "Excellence in Digital Inclusion Video Award." This recognition was awarded for the innovative "MyBL Super App: Revolutionising Healthcare in Rural Bangladesh" campaign. This app has successfully integrated healthcare services, reaching 7.8 million active users per month as of September. It aims to provide vital healthcare services to underserved communities, addressing critical challenges in accessing medical care in rural areas.
VEON's Commitment to Inclusion and Sustainability
VEON's CEO, Kaan Terzioglu, emphasized the company's dedication to designing solutions that enhance digital inclusion and societal welfare. He expressed pride in the impactful campaigns developed by Mobilink Bank and Banglalink, which highlight the significant role the mobile industry plays in bridging societal inequalities. The recognition received at the GSMA event is just one more testament to their efforts in driving social change through technology.
A Track Record of Accolades
These awards are the latest in a series of recognitions for both Banglalink and Mobilink Microfinance Bank. In recent years, Mobilink won the esteemed 2023 Pakistan Banking Award for being the Best Bank for Inclusion, alongside receiving the National Financial Literacy Programme Award. Banglalink was also acknowledged at the Bangladesh Sustainability Excellence Awards 2023 for their Best Sustainability Excellence Initiative.
