Bangladesh: Expatriates Opt for bKash to Send Remittance Safely Amid COVID-19 Crisis

In this worldwide 'lockdown' situation enforced for preventing COVID-19, expatriate Bangladeshis are relying on online-to-wallet money transfer service to send remittance to their loved ones back home. During this time of emergency, the expatriate Bangladeshis as well as their relatives who receive remittance here are staying at home. So, without going outside, they are sending money back home through their online or wallet based money transfer service via banking channel to their relatives’ bKash accounts.

As a result, the amount of remittance inflow through bKash is much more than usual during this period. bKash is offering international remittance services via partnership with six different local commercial banks under the strict guidance of the Central Bank.
