Earlier last month, The Payoneer Forum in Dhaka, Bangladesh brought together outsourcing agencies, small & medium businesses, and online professionals, exploring avenues for growing their business beyond borders. We had representation from key local bodies and associations – namely BASIS, BACCO and e-Cab.

Let’s take a look at some of our event’s highlights…

M Rashidul Hasan, the Managing Director & CEO at Systech Digital Limited, opened the session and spoke about the ‘golden circle’ which consists of answering core questions – why, how and what it takes to create loyal customers. He highlighted that ‘honesty builds trust, trust builds loyalty’. This was followed by Nahid Hassan, Head of Business Development in Bangladesh at Payoneer, who shared the Playbook for Global Growth for the online outsourcing agencies, small & medium businesses and online professionals – a close look at Payoneer’s products and offerings for today’s cross-border businesses.
