Software Licensing for Banks & Financial Institutions in Bangladesh
Banks are the most audited software buyers in Bangladesh. MacX serves institutions including Bank Asia and Dutch-Bangla Bank, and this guide explains what a compliant licensing stack looks like for a regulated financial institution.
Why licence evidence matters more in banking
Bangladesh Bank's ICT security guidelines expect documented, supportable software across every production system. During an internal or external IT audit, the question is not whether the software works — it is whether you can produce the entitlement record, the invoice and the VAT challan for each installation.
The typical stack we license for a bank
Across our banking clients, the recurring titles are consistent.
- Microsoft 365 Business Premium / E3 / E5 for staff productivity and identity
- Microsoft Power BI Pro or Premium for MIS and regulatory reporting
- Endpoint protection and EDR across branch and head-office devices
- Adobe Acrobat Pro for document control and signed PDFs
- Adobe Creative Cloud for the brand and communications team
- Server, SQL and virtualisation licences for the data centre
Procurement and payment in BDT
MacX quotes against your tender or work order, invoices in BDT with a BIN-linked VAT invoice and Mushak challan, and delivers licences into your own tenant or publisher portal. No outward remittance, no international card, no personal accounts.
Renewals and true-ups
We keep a renewal calendar per institution with a sixty-day lead time, and reconcile deployed seats against entitlements before each renewal so you neither over-buy nor sit on an unlicensed gap.
Frequently asked questions
- Can MacX supply against a bank tender or work order?
- Yes. MacX participates in tenders and supplies against work orders with full VAT documentation and delivery confirmation.
- Do licences go into our own tenant?
- Yes. Licences are provisioned into the bank's own Microsoft, Adobe or vendor tenant, so ownership and admin control stay with you.
- Can you support branch-wide antivirus rollouts?
- Yes — we license and help deploy business endpoint protection across branches with central console management.
