Bangladesh Bank has allowed the payment of fees for overseas webinar solution services to conduct virtual meetings and release of foreign currency for online study abroad.

The central bank announced the decision, effective until Mar 31, 2021, on Sunday considering the COVID-19 pandemic.

The banks can already pay membership fees of foreign professional and scientific institutions on behalf of Bangladeshi holders of international cards, including 'virtual card'.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation, official meetings of government and corporate sectors are being held virtually through webinar solutions, the Bangladesh Bank said in a notice.

To facilitate payment for availing webinar solution services, it has been decided that banks may affect remittances on account of payments against relevant invoices of webinar solution services.
