bKash, a leading mobile financial service provider, has introduced an integrated transaction service in collaboration with Pubali Bank PLC, the largest private commercial bank in the country. The initiative facilitates effortless two-way fund transfers for customers, enhancing their financial convenience.
Customers of Pubali Bank can now easily ‘Add Money’ through the bKash app to their accounts instantly without incurring any charges. Additionally, they can transfer funds to their Pubali Bank accounts and other accounts using the ‘bKash to bank’ feature.
To access this integrated service, customers need to select the ‘Add Money’ or ‘bKash to bank’ icon on the bKash app’s home screen and locate the ‘Bank Account’ option. By tapping on ‘The Pubali Bank PLC’ icon, they can establish a link between their bKash and Pubali Bank accounts by providing essential information.
It is crucial to note that the registered mobile number for both accounts must be the same when setting up the link for ‘Add Money’ or ‘bKash to bank’ transactions. Once the link is established, funds can be effortlessly transferred from a Pubali Bank account to a bKash account using the ‘Add Money’ service on the bKash app.
Moreover, customers can deposit money, pay DPS, and settle loan installments through the ‘bKash to bank’ service, eliminating the need to visit a physical bank branch. SMS notifications will be sent to customers after each successful transaction, and transaction limits set by Bangladesh Bank will be applicable.
Presently, Pubali Bank, with 504 branches, 190 sub-branches, and 19 Islamic banking windows, serves over 6.9 million customers. Its integration into bKash’s extensive Add Money network enables fund transfers from the accounts of 45 top commercial banks in the country to 75 million bKash accounts.
bKash also offers instant ‘bKash to bank’ services to 16 banks, providing customers with a wide range of financial services, including Send Money, Mobile Recharge, utility bill payments, merchant transactions, donations, school-college fee payments, e-ticketing, and various online registration fee payments. The two-way transaction service empowers customers and offers greater flexibility in their financial transactions.
