Prime Bank Limited has launched awareness drive to care for the health and well-being of the customers and employees of the bank in the wake of outbreak of Coronavirus.
The bank distributed awareness flyer among the customers at its branches across the country. The bank has also made arrangement for hand sanitizer for the customers at all branches.
The bank has made glove, mask and liquid hand wash available for the employees and advised employees to wash hand in regular intervals especially to those dealing with cash transaction. It has intensified clearing drive of all the premises at least twice a day.
As part of the awareness drive, the bank is sending regular updates on prevention tips to the customers through email and SMS. The bank has also encouraged the customers to use alternate banking channels: ATM, Internet Banking and Call Center from the comfort of their home to minimize risk.
Rahel Ahmed, Managing Director and CEO of the bank, said, “Instead of panicking, we should stay calm and act to raise awareness on how we can protect ourselves and our loved ones from this disease.”
“To fight this disease, we must follow the guidelines of Institute of Epidemiology Disease Control and Research (IEDCR), follow basic hygiene, practise social distancing and disseminate awareness message for the greater good of all. We believe together we can overcome this challenge through awareness and helping each other,” he added.
“At Prime Bank, health and well-being of our valued customers and our employees is of the highest priority. That’s why we have undertaken this awareness campaign, which we believe will protect us all from this virus,” he continued.
