bKash, the country’s most loved brand and the largest mobile financial service provider, has won three awards at the third edition of the Bangladesh Retail Awards (2026). Organised by the Bangladesh Retail Forum and the Bangladesh Brand Forum, these awards honour organisations and initiatives that have revolutionised the country’s retail industry in the digital era.
In this edition, bKash has secured the ‘winner’ title in the categories of ‘Best Innovation in POP Merchandising’ for its ‘bKash Payment Speaker’ service and ‘Best Innovation in Retail Payment Solution’ for ‘bKash Salesforce App’. Additionally, the company received an ‘Honorable Mention’ for its ‘bKash NFC’ service in the ‘Best Use of Technology in Retail’ category. Senior officials from bKash received the awards on behalf of the company.
The bKash Payment Speaker announces the transaction amount as soon as a payment is made at a merchant point, providing instant confirmation of a successful payment to both the customer and the merchant. This service has already received an overwhelming response. Furthermore, the bKash NFC service has made transactions even more seamless and quick by offering the convenience of instant contactless payments.
