Leading mobile financial service provider bKash recently awarded prizes to 15 individuals who received the highest remittance amounts through Taptap Send, a widely used money transfer operator (MTO) among expatriates.

A prize-giving ceremony was held at the bKash head office in Dhaka, where winners, relatives of expatriates, were honoured with motorbike and electronic appliance vouchers, according to a press release.

The top remittance recipient received a motorbike coupon worth Tk 1.80 lakh. The second and third place recipients were awarded electronic appliance vouchers worth Tk 50,000 and Tk 30,000, respectively.

Additionally, a total of 12 participants — three each week during the campaign — received electronic device vouchers valued at Tk 15,000, Tk 10,000, and Tk 5,000.

Winners were selected based on the volume of remittances received between March 1 and March 28, 2025.

Recognising the pivotal role of remittances in the national economy, the campaign aimed to encourage the use of secure and legal channels, such as Taptap Send and bKash, for sending and receiving funds from abroad.

bKash's remittance service continues to gain popularity and trust among both senders and recipients by offering a seamless, secure, and convenient transaction experience.

Currently, expatriates can send remittances directly to their loved ones' bKash accounts from over 140 countries via 110 international MTOs. These transactions are settled through 25 of the country's leading commercial banks.

Moreover, recipients in Bangladesh can cash out their remittances at more than 2,500 ATMs of top commercial banks for just Tk 7 per thousand, using the bKash app or by dialling *247#.
