Financial sector in Bangladesh has become digital friendly over the years, which has reflected on better customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. However, for Capital Market Intermediaries, this has not been reflected, except for some few major players. In this paper we are trying to identify the scope of a common digital platform which can be used for majority brokerage houses and the benefits this can provide. We have also tried to figure out the key considerations for which digital platforms have not been popularized yet and what can be done to popularize this. We believe that, with the support being provided by BSEC, a common platform can be readily introduced and can be introduced better customer satisfaction and operational management.
