The Bangladesh Bank permits designated banks to transfer Hajj pilgrims' expenses for the 1447 Hijri/2026 Hajj season directly to the International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs) of the pilgrims, replacing previous procedures. This authorization is granted in response to a request from the Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment, aiming to streamline the process for pilgrims traveling under both government and private sector schemes. The directive instructs concerned banks to implement this change immediately.
