Why Payoneer is essential in Bangladesh and how the Wirecard scandal puts that at risk

By In Tech8 Comments

After spending a lazy weekend yesterday, I booted up my computer in the evening and found out the shocking news that Payoneer prepaid cards have been frozen worldwide.

Between work and study, this semester at the university, we were tasked with what can only be described as something we never thought we’d do. We needed to come up with some ideas or concepts and then make masks as well as paint on the wall to get the message across to the audience.

Yup, sounds like just another day in the Department of Media Studies and Journalism at University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh.  Read more
