How a Leading Bangladeshi Bank Cut AWS Costs 38% — Billed in BDT
- 38%
- AWS cost reduction
- ৳ BDT
- Single local invoice
- Zero
- Downtime cutover
- SOC 2
- Compliance posture
The challenge
The bank's digital channels were growing fast, but cloud spend was rising faster — and paying AWS in USD meant SWIFT delays, FX exposure, and a reconciliation headache for finance. Regulatory and Bangladesh Bank requirements added pressure to keep data controlled and auditable.
What TiCON did
- Migrated digital-channel and analytics workloads to a secure, multi-account AWS landing zone
- Moved billing to the TiCON reseller plan — one NBR and Bangladesh Bank compliant invoice in BDT
- Ran a FinOps pass: rightsizing, Savings Plans, and CloudFront discounts
- Hardened the estate to SOC 2 / ISO 27001 readiness with continuous monitoring
The results
Cloud costs fell 38% versus paying AWS directly, and finance now receives a single, locally-payable invoice each month with no SWIFT delays. The cutover ran with zero downtime, and the bank gained an audit-ready, documented architecture.
"Paying in Taka and seeing a 38% drop in our cloud bill changed the conversation with finance entirely." — Head of Infrastructure
