Payment market

How Bangladesh pays

Currency: Bangladeshi taka (BDT)
Regulator: Bangladesh Bank
Everyday methods: Mobile wallets (MFS), cards, internet banking
Main airports: Dhaka (DAC), Chattogram (CGP), Sylhet (ZYL)

Mobile financial services are the everyday way to pay in Bangladesh. bKash, Nagad, Rocket and Upay accounts are opened with a mobile number, so many customers who never use a card can still pay for a booking online.

Card use is concentrated among corporate clients and travellers, and companies often pay by internet banking. A Bangladeshi transfer operator needs both: wallets for walk-in and family customers, cards and banking for corporate and inbound travel. See how the car rental with driver and airport transfer workflows use them.
