How Bangladesh pays
Bangladesh pays through mobile financial services. bKash is the largest, with Nagad and Rocket alongside it, used for transfers, bills and a growing share of online payments. Online, cash on delivery remains common, while local Visa and Mastercard debit cards and the domestic NPSB switch carry card and bank payments.
Remittances from Bangladeshis in the Gulf, Malaysia, the UK and the US are a major source of income, and Bangladesh Bank rules shape how money moves across the border. For a merchant, the value is a clear starting point: cards and express wallets behind one integration, 3DS on card-not-present payments and retries across acquirers, with taka pricing and FX handled for you.

Everything it takes to run payments in Bangladesh
Local payment methods are only half the job. We carry the operational weight — acquiring, settlement, FX, licensing and reconciliation — so you can treat Bangladesh like any other market in your stack.
One integration, every local method
Connect once and reach every card scheme, wallet, bank rail and installment provider in Bangladesh through a single API — no separate contract or integration per provider.
Local acquiring, higher approvals
We route to local acquirers and retry failed payments across alternate rails, so domestic cards and wallets authorize at local rates instead of being declined as cross-border traffic.
Settlement, FX & repatriation
Collect in the Bangladeshi taka (BDT) and settle in your base currency. We handle the FX conversion and the local rules for moving funds out of the country — the part most global merchants underestimate.
Licensing handled locally
Process through our locally licensed partner entities. You launch without standing up a local entity or chasing a payments license of your own.
Payouts & reconciliation
Pay out to sellers and process refunds on the same rails you collect on, and reconcile every flow — pay-in, payout, refund — in one ledger, in local or base currency.
Fraud, disputes & compliance
Real-time screening, chargeback and dispute handling, and KYC/AML that matches local regulator expectations — built in, not bolted on.
