Addressing the function, Matiul Islam Nowshad said, “This will strengthen Robi’s commitment to its customers as m-remittance will make remittance collection more convenient.”

This is an easy, most convenient and secured way to receive foreign remittance, he added.

Selected retailers/distributors (RSP) of Robi will act as cash out points (accredited by the partner banks) from where the beneficiaries can withdraw their remittance in cash.
 
In order to collect remittance beneficiary needs to show and submit a photocopy of original identity document (National ID/passport/driving license) and transaction ID to the Robi Service Partner (RSP) outlet.

Upon diligent verification RSP will payout the remitted amount to the beneficiary.

Customers of any mobile operator can receive remittance service from RSP and remittance recipients can get this service free of cost.

This service will give many benefits to the recipients as they will not require any bank account to receive remittance, they can receive the service at their locality and receive hard earned remittance free of cost.
