GP introduces bKash as preferred payment partner

Grameenphone, the leading telecommunications service provider has recently introduced bKash, the largest MFS provider in the country, as the preferred payment partner.

bKash will be the primary payment option to facilitate one tap payment experience for the customers in the MyGP app, said a press release. Grameenphone customers can now avail of quick and seamless payment through bKash.

Grameenphone CEO Yasir Azman and bKash CEO Kamal Quadir formally launched the new service at a ceremony held at GPHouse in the capital on Wednesday. Grameenphone CDO Solaiman Alam and CMO Mohammad Sajjad Hasib and CPTO Mohammad Azmal Huda and bKash CCO Ali Ahmmed were also present at the event.

This integration will simplify the digital lifestyle of the customers with hassle-free, convenient and secured payment with one tap. Once a customer binds bKash as the preferred payment method, they no longer need to put in OTP/PIN every time and the payment will be done with a tap of digital consent from the bKash account on the go.

To activate this service, a GP customer needs to add bKash as a preferred payment method through the MyGP app. After clicking on ‘Add bKash Account’, the users need to click the ‘I Agree’ option and enter the bKash account number. In the next step, OTP and PIN should be entered only for the first time to bind bKash as GP’s preferred payment method.

Grameenphone CEO Yasir Azman said, “In the era of accelerated digitalisation, our customers need more convenient and innovative solutions for their digital lifestyle. I am excited to see that Grameenphone and bKash have collaborated to make our customer payment experience within MyGP more simplified, convenient and faster with the one-tap payment solution.”

“United in our common philosophy of always taking a customer-centric approach to solutions, bKash and Grameenphone can achieve a lot together. We look forward to unveiling more exciting solutions with our valued business partners”, he said.
