The practise of giving money as gifts is a long tradition. People love to get money and greeting cards as gifts especially on different occasions.

Capitalising on the tradition, Postal Division’s mobile financial services bKash has launched a new feature on its send money service, with which bkash app users will be able to send personalized greeting cards and gift money to their loved ones on special occasions.

With these cards, customer can convey good wishes, express gratitude or share the emotion of love to the person he or she is sending money, said a press release.

The receiver can make his/her special moments more memorable and joyful by sharing the greeting card on social media platforms, it added.

To do that, the customer needs to find the ‘Select your purpose’ tab at the bottom of the screen after selecting a recipient for sending money in bKash app. User can choose anyone from ‘Send Money’, ‘Gift’, ‘Birthday’, ‘Wedding’, ‘Anniversary’, ‘Congratulations’, ‘Good Luck’ and ‘Thank You’ options.
