63 loved ones of expatriates have been declared winners based on receiving the highest amount of remittance directly to a bKash account, sent via international money transfer operator (MTO) ‘Touch ‘n Go’, from Malaysia, a press release said.
Recently, an event was organised at bKash’s head office where the prizes were handed over to the winners. Each winner could use the coupon to purchase their preferred products from the nearest Minister showroom by making payment through bKash.
To encourage sending remittance through legal banking channels and contribute to the country’s economy, ‘Touch ‘n Go’, Minister, and bKash have jointly launched this campaign, with Eastern Bank PLC as the banking partner. The campaign started on October 1 and continued till December 31, 2025. During the campaign, the monthly top remittance receiver gets Minister product coupons worth Tk 150,000. Additionally, every week five winners received coupons ranging from Tk 25,000 to Tk 5,000.
Currently, expatriates can directly send remittances to their loved ones’ bKash account through 135 international MTOs from over 170 countries around the world that get settled at 27 top commercial banks in the country. Additionally, they are receiving a government incentive of Tk 25 per thousand. Due to benefits like instant transfer without the need of a bank account, ease of sending any amount, and the ability to download remittance statements, sending remittance to bKash accounts is becoming increasingly popular.
