I recently opened a BKASH account with my mobile phone out of simple curiosity. To my surprise, I find it extremely useful as I can complete many of my works through it. I do not even have to keep much money in my wallet as I can pay through my mobile phone anytime. I do not have to go out for loading talk time in my mobile as I can load money on my mobile through my mobile banking account, which is convenient and time saving. Now my banking has no fixed time and I can complete my transaction any time of the day conveniently.
It is a giant step forward for the banking sector of the country, which will integrate all the people who were out of banking coverage within the network. The charges of mobile banking are also reasonable. I sincerely laud the effort of those people who are tirelessly working behind such an initiative. Through mobile banking, our lifestyle has already started changing.
Traditional banking is restricted to mainly urban population and the vast majority of people living in the countryside have very little or no access. But mobile banking can now reach the remotest corner of the country. In addition, it is cost effective, safe and time saving. I am sure, mobile banking is going to be our indispensable companion in near future.
