bKash payment makes Eid shopping seamless

bKash payment gives a unique experience of cashless shopping during the Eid festival season, as customers can get discounts and cashback through bKash payments on purchases at most fashion houses, shoe stores, electronics stores, and more, according to a press release.

At present, 75 million bKash customers across the country can make easy and secured payment by scanning QR codes, dialling *247# or payment gateway for about 600,000 merchants. The largest network of two-way transactions between bKash and commercial banks is playing a pivotal role in making digital payments easier and safer for customers. At the same time, bKash has recently launched direct payment from Visa card through bKash app, which makes customers more capable of digital transactions.

Suhana Afrin, who works at a private organisation, was shopping for Eid going from mall to mall with her children. She said, “I always try to make digital payments to buy throughout the year. And the biggest advantage of digital payment, through bKash for instance, I don’t need to carry cash to the shopping malls. There is no hassle of losing or counting cash, dealing with changes, torn money or counterfeit notes. During the Eid season, there are also chances to get cashback and discounts on digital payment.”

Millions of customers like Suhana have now become habituated to digital payments. Many customers are comfortable with digital payments for all types of purchases online or offline. Again, not only are customers comfortable with digital payments, but businesses are also getting the benefits of digital payment as it assists them to keep track of daily sales in an organised way.

Shamsuddin Haider Dalim, head of corporate communications and PR of bKash said, "We have been working with different stakeholders to develop a digital payment ecosystem to bring the real benefits of cashless payments to our customers. bKash also offers various cashback and discounts on shopping at online shops, Facebook pages, branded stores, fashion houses, shoe stores, electronics ahead of festivals like Eid to make customers habituated to digital payment to achieve the government’s vision of cashless Bangladesh.”

There are also cashback and discount offers on bKash payments on buying Ramadan essentials from online grocery shops and superstores. The discount and cashback offer on bKash payment can be viewed on bKash website and official Facebook page.
