BRAC Bank rolls out Google Pay for Visa credit cards

BRAC Bank PLC has launched Google Pay for its Visa credit cardholders, allowing customers to make fast, secure and contactless payments using Android smartphones at home and abroad.

With the launch, Visa credit card users of the bank can add their cards to Google Wallet and pay at millions of merchant outlets that support Google Pay, both locally and globally, according to a press release.

The service eliminates the need to carry physical cards for everyday transactions, offering greater convenience and flexibility for domestic and international spending.

Google Pay, a mobile payment service, uses advanced encryption technology to ensure that card details are never shared with merchants, while each transaction remains highly secure, making it a reliable digital payment solution.

To mark the launch, BRAC Bank is offering a 20 percent cashback on the first Google Pay transaction and a 10 percent cashback on the second and third transactions.

The campaign will remain valid for the first two months until March 31, 2026, subject to terms and conditions.

Commenting on the initiative, Tareq Refat Ullah Khan, managing director and CEO of BRAC Bank PLC, said the introduction of Google Pay for Visa credit cardholders marked another step forward in the bank’s digital transformation journey.

“By combining global payment technology with our customer-first approach, we are enabling safer, faster and more convenient transactions anywhere in the world,” he added.

The launch reflects BRAC Bank’s continued commitment to expanding digital payment capabilities and enhancing customer experience, supporting the country’s move towards a cashless economy, the release said.

In addition, City Bank PLC became the first local bank in Bangladesh to officially launch Google Pay (via Google Wallet) on June 24, 2025.
