bKash app has introduced biometric ‘Face ID’ and ‘Fingerprint’ login features to make users’ daily transactions easier and safer. Alongside, exciting new features – ‘Group Send Money’, ‘Request Money’, ‘Savings Marketplace’, and selecting ‘Default Card’ to use the ‘Add money’ service from VISA card to bKash – are also included in the new version of bKash app.
Biometric ‘Face ID’ and ‘Fingerprint’ Login:
Users can now securely access the bKash app using their ‘Face ID’ or ‘Fingerprint’ instead of their PIN, ensuring added convenience and peace of mind. By selecting the biometric icon in the app’s login screen or profile section and setting it up with their PIN, users can access the app through their device’s previously set biometric security.
Group Send Money:
This feature allows users to send money simultaneously to a group of individuals. Users can create a group, add members, and send varying or identical amounts of money to up to 7 individuals within the group.
Request Money:
bKash users now have the capability to send ‘in-app requests’ to other users for money transfers. Each user can request amounts ranging from Tk 100 to Tk 25,000 per day from a maximum of 10 other users either individually or through group requests.
Savings Marketplace:
This feature facilitates easy access to various savings schemes, automatic installment payments, and the ability to pay missing instalments from certain banks. It provides details about savings plans, notifications for installment payments, and information about missing instalments and maturity times.
Default Card for VISA Card to bKash Add Money Service:
To streamline transactions, users can now select their frequently used VISA card as the ‘Default Card’ for adding money from a VISA card to their bKash account. Once set, this card will be displayed automatically for future transactions, reducing the need to enter card details repeatedly.
These enhancements are part of bKash’s commitment to providing an easier, more secure, and feature-rich platform for its users, promoting seamless and secure financial transactions.
