EBL Connect, the flagship digital corporate cash management platform of Eastern Bank PLC. (EBL) has been honored with the “Outstanding Digital CX – Cash Management Platform (South Asia)” award at the Digital CX Awards 2026 in Singapore by The Digital Banker. The recognition reinforces EBL’s leadership in digital transaction banking across the region.

The Digital Banker is a globally respected platform for financial services intelligence, research, and awards. Its Digital CX Awards are widely regarded as one of the industry’s most rigorous and prestigious programs, recognizing excellence in customer experience and digital innovation.

EBL Connect over the years has evolved into a national-scale digital backbone for corporate transactions in Bangladesh. The platform now processes over 7 million transactions annually, with a cumulative transaction value exceeding BDT 10.5 trillion, reflecting strong adoption among corporate and institutional clients.

A key milestone contributing to this recognition is EBL’s end-to-end digital integration with the Chattogram Port Authority (CPA), enabling fully paperless port-related payments.
