bKash is currently the most popular and widely used mobile financial services provider in Bangladesh. bKash is an establishment of "BRAC Bank PLC," a non-governmental commercial bank in Bangladesh. Since its inception, the institution has never looked back. Due to the use of digital financial services and advanced technology, bKash has become extremely popular among the people of this country.
Using the bKash smartphone application, individuals can directly reload funds by using issued payment cards (credit, debit, and prepaid cards) from banks and financial institutions. Until now, only Visa and Mastercard were supported for adding funds on bKash. Recently, American Express has also been included as an option. From now on, all American Express cardholders can seamlessly add funds to bKash using their American Express debit, credit, or prepaid cards.
Given that bKash is the largest mobile financial services provider in Bangladesh with numerous agents nationwide, introducing the option for American Express cardholders on bKash is undoubtedly a good initiative.
