Dhaka, Bangladesh — October 30, 2025:
bKash, Bangladesh’s leading mobile financial services provider, has achieved a remarkable milestone by processing 5.2% of all global mobile money transactions in 2024, further establishing Bangladesh as a key global player in financial inclusion and digital finance.
According to the 2025 GSMA State of the Industry Report on Mobile Money and BRAC Bank’s 2024 annual report, Bangladesh now accounts for 8% of global mobile financial activity, despite representing just 2.19% of the world’s population. This performance underscores the country’s growing influence in digital finance, with bKash alone contributing 3.8% of global mobile money users and 3.5% of global MFS agents.
Driving Inclusive Financial Growth
With over 82 million verified users and a network exceeding 360,000 agents and 1 million merchants, bKash has become a cornerstone of Bangladesh’s cashless economy. The company’s efforts have brought secure, affordable, and accessible financial services to rural and underserved communities, where access to traditional banking remains limited.
“Our mission is to make financial services universally accessible. As we continue to innovate, bKash remains committed to empowering individuals locally and globally,” the company said.
Innovation and New Financial Products
bKash has expanded its offerings beyond transactions into savings, loans, and micro-insurance. Its latest innovation, the Monthly Deposit Premium Scheme (DPS) — launched in collaboration with BRAC Bank, IDLC Finance, and Dhaka Bank — allows users to build savings directly from their mobile wallets, bridging a crucial gap between financial access and long-term security.
Global Recognition and Technological Leadership
bKash’s achievements have earned multiple international accolades, including awards for Best Digital Solutions and Best Innovation and Technology (2023). These milestones reinforce bKash’s position as one of the most impactful mobile financial service providers globally and a model for digital inclusion in emerging markets.
Outlook
Looking ahead, bKash plans to further enhance its service portfolio by integrating AI-driven financial solutions, improving interoperability, and expanding into new financial products to empower millions more across South Asia.
