The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has asked banks to send account information of 23 digital platforms, including Daraz and Priyo Shop and 29 executives related to the firms.

The BFIU issued the directive early this week and suggested banks provide information of the firms and companies.

The move comes the time when the government is taking various steps to discipline the e-commerce sector amid allegations of non-delivery of products against advance payments of customers against a number of e-commerce platforms namely Evaly and E-orange.

Top executives of Evaly and E-orange are behind bars now.

After several regulatory measures, the government formed a new committee to bring all e-commerce firms in Bangladesh under one umbrella and safeguard the interests of the consumers and merchants who were deceived.

In its letter issued to banks, BFIU also asked banks to provide account information of firms, including Infinity Marketing, Annex Worldwide, Shadhin, Akasnil, Sreshtho.com, Alif World, Bangladesh Deal and e-shop India.
