What is bKash?
bKash is Bangladesh's dominant mobile financial service, operated by bKash Limited — a subsidiary of BRAC Bank — and regulated by Bangladesh Bank. With over 65 million registered users, bKash enables Bangladeshis to send and receive money, pay bills, and access financial services via mobile phone without a traditional bank account. It is the primary channel for inward remittances in Bangladesh from licensed international providers.
For Bangladeshi workers in the UAE, bKash is a fast and convenient payout option — family members in Bangladesh receive funds in their bKash wallet and can immediately withdraw cash at an agent or spend digitally.
