bKash provided participants of the summit with numerous services and essential instructions on receiving payments through their PR account.

As the account can be opened without a trade license, it allows small-and-medium entrepreneurs to expand their business by facilitating payments, sending money and cashing out at a lower charge.

The PR accounts can be opened with just a National Identification Number and registered SIM.

Online or f-commerce based women entrepreneurs can get an additional limit facility while receiving payments through their PR account.

So, this retail account is strengthening the country's digital payment ecosystem by reducing cash dependency. Besides, transactions between customers and sellers are becoming easier and safer.

Nishat Rahman, chief customer service officer of bKash, said the PR account is an attempt to facilitate technologically smart solutions to make the financial transactions done by women entrepreneurs convenient and secure.

"bKash is proud to offer such a service to women entrepreneurs," she added.

PR accounts also feature a QR code that facilitates transactions while there is no hassle of having to keep change and customers can easily pay for their products from a distance.

As a result, both buyers and sellers are benefited from payments through PR accounts. Interested entrepreneurs can visit https://www.bkash.com/personal-retail-account to open their account and also see the terms and conditions, limits and other details.
