Digital Payment System Experience
OSV along with its sister concern PSL (the ‘Company) have long experience in various payment and service solutions in Bangladesh, mostly through SureCash platform. A highlight of the projects are given below.
- Primary Education Stipend Project
Primary education stipend project (PESP) is the largest payment digitization project in the country where the government is disbursing a stipend to 10 million mothers benefitting 13 million primary students in 80,000 villages of our country. PESP was inaugurated by the Honorable Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina on March 01, 2017. To implement the project we opened ‘SureCash’ mobile wallets for 10 million mothers that touch 25% of the households of the country.
In the Primary Stipend Disbursement Project of MoPME, more than 20 million wallets were opened and among them account holders were mostly female-young active mothers. Therefore, we expect very high overlap with the MFI clients base during McWallet opening. This project has been recognized as one of the most successful digitization projects in the country. This has increased efficiency of the stipend disbursement, and saved about 150 cr taka every year in direct cost savings and another 150 cr taka in primary book distribution projects using stipend data.

Digitization of BSFIC
The company digitized the payment of the sugarcane growers of BSFIC (Bangladesh Sugar and Food Industries Corporation) by providing automated payment software and disbursing money to the farmers of the 15 sugar mills using the automated software. To add more, SureCash is already working with the a2i of the Prime Minister’s office.
