March 03, 2024 00:00:00


bKash has introduced direct payments from Visa debit or credit cards through bKash app to make digital payments more accessible, swift, hassle-free, and secure for bKash customers.

From now on, to purchase something at a retail store, users can make bKash payment directly through Visa cards from their bKash app. The service has created the opportunity to facilitate bKash customers with seamless payments at around 600,000 merchant shops across the country, says a statement.

By using Visa cards on bKash's facility, customers will also get the opportunity to purchase something even when they don't have sufficient balance in their bKash account. Besides, this service will further strengthen the digital payment ecosystem of cashless digital transactions to meet the goals of smart economy.

As many stores or small businesses do not have Point of Sales (POS) machines to accept digital payments by card, many customers cannot make transactions with debit or credit cards even if they want to.

However, bKash's QR codes are available in these types of small shops as well as in superstores and restaurants, where 75 million customers of bKash can make safe cashless transactions.

These customers can now easily use their Visa debit or credit cards to pay through the bKash app, making the digital transaction experience easier and more convenient.

At the same time, small merchants can also accept Visa card payments through bKash QR without installing costly POS machines.

At present, there are 45 commercial banks connected to bKash network. Detailed information can be found at this website: https://www.bkash.com/en/products-services/payment/payment-through-visa-card.
