Area Served & Valuation of bKash

Hello Niaz, bKash is currently operating only in Bangladesh and not any other country. Hence, it is important to mention the Area in "Bangladesh" only.

Also, bKash is currently valued at $2 Billion. So it is also important to update the part on the first section. Sakib.mahboob (talk) 19:14, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Also, I have added Citation Needed on the Services part. It says bKash provides only Payment service, however, it is a Mobile Financial Service.

(The above reference is from the Bangladesh Bank official website where it says bKash is a mobile financial service and not a payment service) Sakib.mahboob (talk) 20:06, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Could you kindly provide a reference that confirms bKash's operations are limited to Bangladesh? - Niaz^{(Talk • Contribs)} 21:31, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi Niaz, thank you for sharing your thoughts. The reference links below speaks of bKash and it's operations only for the people of Bangladesh:

1. https://sturgeoncapital.com/bkash-bangladesh/ (On the second segment it says bKash targets 165 Million people of Bangladesh. Also, at the end of the segment it is stated "bKash can be accessed via all the mobile networks operating in Bangladesh." Also, on the third segment where of "What is bKash?" it is stated that bKash is a Mobile FinTech in Bangladesh operating under Bangladesh Bank. They also stated "bKash provides secure, convenient, and easy ways to make payments and money transfer services via mobile phones to both the unbanked and the banked people of Bangladesh.")
2. https://www.gsma.com/mobilefordevelopment/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Case_Study_-bKash.pdf(Another reference, where it says, "bKash is a mobile money system in Bangladesh operating under the jurisdiction of Bangladesh Central Bank")
3. https://www.thedailystar.net/the-story-of-bkash-21235?amp (Here is says, bKash, a subsidiary of BRAC Bank, provides safe, convenient and easy ways to make payments and money transfer services via mobile phones to both the unbanked and the banked people of Bangladesh.)

Hope this helps understand the operation of bKash. Sakib.mahboob (talk) 04:29, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
