bKash users can send money free to five 'Priyo' numbers

bKash users can now send money to five Priyo numbers free of charge up to Tk 25,000, says a statement.

Through bKash app or dialing USSD code *247#, customers can avail the service. An MFS transaction data analysis shows that almost 90 per cent customers usually send Tk 15,000 to Tk 20,000 to three or four accounts every month.

To bring the unbanked population under formal financial channel was the core reason for the inception of Mobile Financial Service (MFS) where bKash played a pioneering role with convenient, secured, fast and regulated services.

The journey of bKash started with 'Send Money' service aiming to release the pain of sending money to the loved ones. Since then, bKash has gained the trust of people by bringing more innovative and regulated services with the course of time.

Apart from this, sending money up to Tk 100 to any number has been made charge-free for all bKash customers.

Customers can easily add up to five Priyo numbers in every calendar month through bKash app or using USSD code *247# in a few easy steps. Once added, the favourite numbers can be changed after each month.

However, for sending money above Tk 25,000, previous charge on each transaction will be applicable for customers.
