Nagad hands account info of suspicious transactions to law enforcers
Nagad, a mobile financial wing of Bangladesh Post Office, has provided information of some accounts on suspicion of illegal transactions with some e-commerce platforms to the regulatory authorities and the law enforcing agencies.
Transactions of those accounts were suspended temporarily after an official complaint was lodged against the accounts with the Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime.
The process of filing a case is also underway, said a press release of Nagad.
For the last few days, some unusual transactions were observed in some Nagad accounts affiliated with some controversial e-commerce platforms.
After analysing the transaction pattern further, a few accounts were suspended temporarily, it said.
At the same time, Nagad provided a list of the accounts to the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit, Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission and Rapid Action Battalion.

Since its inception on March 26, 2019, the operator capped 5.40 crore customers with a daily average transaction of Tk 700 crore in the last two and a half years.
