Covid-19 test fee payment only through Nagad

Nagad, the fastest growing Mobile Financial Service (MFS) provider, is the only operator to provide payment service discouraging the use of printed notes, thus helping limit the spread of the virus during the Covid-19 outbreak across the country.

The payment for Covid-19 test fees through Nagad has received a huge response as the mobile financial arm of the Postal Department has made it easier for the people to carry out the transaction hassle-free and by maintaining social distancing, reads a press release.

In a joint initiative with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of the government, Nagad has been providing the opportunity to the people to avail the Covid-19 test at the lowest cost in the country. The service of Nagad can be availed in Dhaka, Chattogram and Noakhali.

The service, which started earlier August last year, allows people to get tested for the disease at the diagnostic centre at a payment of just BDT 100 through Nagad's bill pay platform.

Foreign travelers can secure the test for BDT 1,500. However, the Bureau of Manpower Employment and Training's (BMET) smart card-holder can avail the service at a payment of only BDT 300. In both cases, one percent will be charged automatically for the service.

"From the very beginning, we have been devoted to working with the government to tackle the pandemic," said Tanvir A Mishuk, managing director of the fastest-growing mobile financial service in Bangladesh.

"This service is part of that process. We are always working for the country and the people. And we are the only operator that has rolled out this service so far. As we believe that 'if people survive, the country will survive', we have stood by the government and the people in this process of paying the fee for the Covid-19 test through the contactless transaction. This will keep the country and the people of the country safe," said Tanvir.

People have been able to maintain at least some physical distance by paying the fee for the Covid-19 test through Nagad.

For the payment through USSD, after dialing *167#, customers have to select the Bill Pay by pressing 5 from the menu. Customers will need to select COVID19 Sample Collection Fee from the biller list. They will type the amount (100/1,500) and the PIN. They will receive a confirmation SMS.
