bkash introduces contactless phone-tap payment feature
bKash customers can now make payments by simply tapping their phones on an NFC (Near Field Communication)-enabled QR code, introducing a faster, more secure, and fully contactless digital payment experience.
With a single tap, transactions can be completed in seconds without entering a PIN, making cashless payments smoother and more convenient.
The NFC feature is designed to speed up everyday transactions at shops, supermarkets, cafés, and retail outlets. To pay, customers simply tap their phone on an NFC-marked QR code. After logging in, the bKash app automatically directs them to the payment screen to enter the amount and confirm. Payments up to Tk1,000 can be made without a PIN, reducing the risks associated with PIN compromise and enhancing app security.
bKash stated that the new service reflects its ongoing commitment to introducing technology-driven, customer-focused innovations that make digital transactions easier and safer. The NFC payment feature will be rolled out gradually across merchant points nationwide.
