Customers can now make payments simply by tapping their phones on an NFC (Near Field Communication)–enabled QR code through bKash.

This new service is designed to make digital payments more seamless, secure, and contactless, according to a media statement on Thursday.

With just a tap, customers can complete transactions in seconds—without the need to enter a PIN—enhancing their cashless payment experience and strengthening the country’s digital payment ecosystem.

NFC technology makes everyday transactions faster and hassle-free, especially at small and large shops, supermarkets, cafés, and other retail outlets. To pay via NFC using bKash, customers simply tap their phone on an NFC-marked QR code.

After logging in, they are taken directly to the payment screen, where they enter the amount and confirm the payment.

This eliminates the inconvenience of forgetting or compromising PINs while improving the security of the bKash app. Customers can make NFC payments of up to Tk 1,000 without a PIN.

Leveraging technological advancements, bKash continues to introduce innovative, customer-centric services to make daily transactions easier, safer, and hassle-free. In line with this commitment, the company has launched the NFC payment service, enabling customers to enjoy cashless, contactless, and secure transactions.

Gradually, this service will be rolled out at merchant points nationwide, the statement said.
