BRAC Bank customers can now make QR-based payments at bKash merchant points using Astha App.

The Astha users will experience simple, seamless, and secured way to pay at around three lakh merchant points of bKash across the country, said a press release.

In this regard, the two companies launched bKash QR acceptance for Astha App users which will provide convenience and smart banking experience to the app users.

Selim RF Hussain, managing director and CEO, BRAC Bank, and Kamal Quadir, chief executive officer, bKash Limited, formally launched the first-of-its-kind Fintech service at the bank’s head office in Dhaka recently.

This co-creation will enable 2,73,000 Astha users to pay at bKash merchant points. The integration will provide payment convenience and more options to Astha customers. This collaboration provides this widespread QR payment network in the country with facility for smooth payment ranging from small to large-ticket payment.

This initiative is as part of BRAC Bank and bKash’s continued pursuit to build a cashless payment ecosystem which will also add to sustainability efforts in the financial industry.
