Customers of 20 regional offices under the Bangladesh Rural Electrification Board (BREB), the country’s largest electricity distribution authority, can now pay their electricity bills through Nagad. With this expansion, customers of 29 Palli Bidyut Samities (PBSs) across 24 districts will be able to settle their electricity bills using the Nagad platform, a press release said.

Customers can access the service through the Nagad app by selecting the “Bill Pay” tab, choosing the “Electricity” option, and then selecting “Palli Bidyut Postpaid” to complete the transaction.
