Nagad enables online metro rail card recharge for commuters

Nagad has made it easier for metro rail users to recharge their cards instantly from home using the Nagad wallet.

The system allows recharges of a minimum of Tk 100 and a maximum of Tk 5,000 at a time.

Passengers can access the recharge link through the Dhaka Transport Coordination Authority (DTCA) website.

Currently, two types of cards are used in the metro rail system -- Rapid Pass and MRT Pass -- and both can be recharged via Nagad.

To recharge a metro rail card, passengers must first visit the Rapid Pass website (www.rapidpass.com.bd) or app. Those not yet registered on the platform must complete the registration process by providing the required information and card details.

After registration, users can sign in, select their card, and choose the desired recharge amount.

In the payment section, they should select the mobile banking option, choose Nagad, enter their Nagad number, and provide the OTP received via SMS. Once the password is entered, the recharge is completed.

For future transactions, users can save their Nagad wallet number for quicker recharges.

After completing the online recharge, passengers must tap their card at the Add Value Machine (AVM) at the respective stations to load the recharged balance. A confirmation SMS will be sent to the registered mobile number.
