The Standard Chartered Saadiq Sadaqah Account enables customers to make donations to charities of their choice directly from their accounts.
This unique solution has made it possible for individuals like Ashik Mia – a young man with impaired hearing and learning disabilities – to receive specialised training from PFDA-Vocational Training Center. Contributions from customers have also made a difference in the lives of children such as Tinni Akter – a young girl with cerebral palsy.
Via support from the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP), Tinni has been admitted to the William and Marie Taylor Inclusive School. Donations have also helped individuals to access medical aid and healthcare at hospitals operated by Friendship in remote areas across Bangladesh.
Launched in 2021, the Standard Chartered Saadiq Sadaqah Account is designed to support clients and their philanthropic ambitions.
The Saadiq Sadaqah Account utilises Islamic and Shariah-compliant principles to meet the need of vulnerable communities across Bangladesh.
Current charity partners include JAAGO Foundation, Friendship, PFDA-Vocational Training Center, UCEP Bangladesh, and Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP).
