To further strengthen its commitment in preventing financial crimes such as hundi, betting, and money laundering, bKash has recently organised four awareness workshops in Dhaka, Khulna, Bogura and Cumilla for all its distributors.

The daylong sessions brought together bKash's channel partners to enhance their understanding of compliance practices, focusing on accurate financial transaction management within the nationwide agent network, awareness of fund sources, timely reporting of suspicious transactions, regular data updates, staff monitoring, action against non-compliant agents, and effective use of technology, says a press statement.

During the workshops, distributors shared how maintaining strict compliance standards has strengthened their business operations and minimised risk.

They appreciated bKash's continuous initiatives to promote awareness and ensure safe, transparent financial practices.

Emphasising the importance of vigilance and accountability, bKash called for increased monitoring, timely reporting, and enhanced awareness among all stakeholders to curb illegal financial activities such as hundi, betting, and money laundering.

Ali Ahmmed, Chief Commercial Officer of bKash, stated that a strong network has been built through the collaborative efforts of bKash and its distributors, enabling uninterrupted services to 82 million customers.

During the sessions, Mohammad Irfanul Huq, Head of Distribution and Retail Business at bKash, said that as a company regulated by Bangladesh Bank, bKash is playing a leading role in financial inclusion and building the digital payment infrastructure in the country. In this regard, bKash prioritises compliance above all in business operations.
