bKash reduces cash out charge

bKash, a mobile financial service provider in the country, has reduced its "cash out" charge to make customer transactions more affordable.

Customers can now cash out up to Tk 25,000 per month from a favourite agent (Priyo Agent) at a reduced charge of Tk 14.90 per Tk 1,000.

This comprises all costs, including VAT, and customers need not pay any extra charge, said a release today.

Any of bKash's 55 million customers can now enjoy the reduced cash out charge.

Recent analysis on bKash transactions shows that 95 percent customers cash out up to Tk 25,000 per month.

Keeping that in mind, bKash has come up with this reduced charge to ensure a more affordable service marking its 10th anniversary.

To avail the service, a customer has to add a favourite bKash agent number in every calendar month.

At the end of each calendar month, customers can change the favourite agent number, if required.

Customers can also add a 'Priyo Agent' through dialing USSD code *247# and selecting 'Priyo Number' from 'My bKash' menu.
