DITF visitors preferred bKash payment

A total of 266,000 visitors have purchased entry tickets through bKash payment at the month-long Dhaka International Trade Fair (DITF) held for the first time in Purbachal.

According to a media statement, 70,000 visitors have come to the trade fair by purchasing BRTC bus tickets and nearly 11,000 visitors have parked their motorcycles through bKash payment.

At the fair, visitors have also enjoyed 5 per cent instant cashback on bKash payment for purchasing products and services at various stalls.

As always, there was an opportunity for any adult citizen to open a free bKash account at the fair premises with a national identity card or passport or driving license along with a passport size photo. In addition, bKash facilitated cash in and cash out services at the booths set up at DITF premise. bKash also provided aesthetic seating arrangement for the visitors in an open environment.

bKash Chief Marketing Officer Mir Nawbut Ali said, “People’s daily transaction behaviour is changing with the impact of mobile financial service and they are getting accustomed to becoming cashless. We have seen this reflection in this year’s trade fair as well. From bus ticket to entrance ticket to motorcycle parking fee to payment of various products – bKash payment was used everywhere. We will extend our services in the fair in coming years.”
