bKash cuts ‘Cash Out’ charge

bKash, a mobile financial service provider in the country, has reduced the "Cash Out" charge to make customer transactions more affordable, reports UNB.

From now, customers can cash out up to Tk 25,000 per month from a favourite agent (Priyo Agent) at a reduced charge of Tk 14.90 per thousand. This includes all costs, including VAT, and customers need not pay any extra charge, said a release on Friday.

Recent analysis on bKash transactions shows that 95 per cent customers 'cash out' within 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 favorite bKash agent number in every calendar month. At the end of each calendar month, customers can change the favorite agent number, if required.

To add a favorite agent number, a customer needs to follow a few simple steps after tapping on the ‘cash out’ icon from the home screen of bKash app.

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