What is a BO Account?
A BO (Beneficiary Owner) Account is a mandatory account required for investors to buy, sell, and hold shares in the stock market in electronic form. In Bangladesh, BO accounts are maintained through the Central Depository Bangladesh Limited (CDBL) and are opened through authorized brokerage firms like UFTCL. This account securely stores an investor’s securities such as shares, bonds, and mutual funds, similar to how a bank account holds money. Once a BO account is opened and linked with a trading account, investors can participate in the capital market by buying and selling securities through stock exchanges like the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE).
