Remittance statement feature added to bKash app

The country's leading mobile financial service (MFS) provider, bKash Limited, has introduced a new feature titled "Remittance Statement" in its app.

The feature enables users to access their remittance records at any time, and thereby making financial management simpler and more convenient.

It also offers added value when preparing and submitting tax returns.

With the latest update, the remittance section of the bKash app now includes three tabs -- Country Wise Operator, Remittance Statement, and Receipts.

By tapping the Remittance Statement tab, customers can request a remittance statement. They may choose to generate a statement for the last 30 days, 180 days, a specific tax year, or a customised time range according to their preference.

Each customer can request a statement up to two times per day and a maximum of five times per month. Once submitted, the statement will be delivered within 72 hours.

A notification will be sent through the app when the statement is ready for download, free of charge. For customer security, the file is password-protected.

The top section of the statement includes the recipient's name, bKash number, recipient type, statement period, and issue date. To ensure ease of understanding, the bottom section provides a summary of the total number of remittances received and the total amount.

Like other formal financial documents, the statement also contains detailed transaction data, including the date and time of receipt, country of origin, settlement bank, money transfer organisation, and the equivalent amount received. All transactions within the selected period are listed in chronological order.
