At a time when almost all types of financial services are being disrupted during the country’s emergency, only Nagad has ensured uninterrupted services for its customers.

While most financial services have ceased operations, Nagad has remained the sole trusted option, reads a press release.

The app was not functional owing to the lack of internet connectivity. However, by dialling USSD *167#, several crore customers were able to access services, such as bill payments, mobile recharges, cash-out, cash-in, and other transactions. On the other hand, once the internet connection was restored, app-based transactions resumed quickly. Customers started transacting comfortably on Nagad as well.

The disruption of internet services has caused great inconvenience for the public. Traditional banking services have been disrupted. With the internet down, mobile phone recharging methods have also been halted. In this situation, Nagad has emerged as the only reliable option for phone recharge, bill payments, and cash withdrawals.

Unprecedented scenes were also witnessed during this time in different neighbourhoods. People waited in long lines in front of Nagad Uddokta points for cash-in, cash-out, and bill payments. Many recharged their mobile phones after cashing in with Nagad.
