Mobile payment trends in Bangladesh
bKash
A project of BRAC Bank Ltd is bKash. It is unquestionably the most popular method of online payment and money transfer in our country. It has grown to be so well-liked because of its ease of use, convenience, and widespread availability around the country. Recently, bKash created its first mobile app for smartphones. Both the iOS and Android operating systems support downloading the app. It has accelerated the speed and added a new dimension to the online transaction system. The app cannot be used without a bKash account. At your nearby bKash agent, you can always open an account by using your phone number. With the bKash app, you can buy mobile phone airtime, send money to another bKash wallet, receive or request money, and make payments at shops. Most reputable online retailers accept bKash as a option.
Nagad
In Bangladesh right now, Nagad is among the most widely used digital wallets. In addition, Nagad is Bangladesh’s second unicorn business after bKash. The Bangladesh Post Office launched this unique and promising digital finance service in 2019. It has an incredibly user-friendly app that is available on both the Play Store and the App Store. It’s not too difficult to create an account on the app. Customers who used feature phones were able to simply open a Nagad Account because of Nagad’s ground-breaking invention of dialing *167# to open an account. Nagad began by offering popular services including mobile recharge, sending money, cash-in, and cash-out. Currently, there are more widely used services available, like bill payment and e-commerce payment gateways. Nagad payments are accepted by almost all online retailers and services. It’s incredibly convenient and offers a wonderful user experience, so you may opt to use it as your mobile wallet at any time.
