Pre-integrated Payment gateway

bKash integration on ReservationHub

bKash is a mobile financial service in Bangladesh, launched in July 2011 by BRAC Bank through its subsidiary bKash Limited. Customers use a mobile wallet to send money, pay merchants in store with Bangla QR and pay online through the bKash Payment Gateway, which supports tokenised checkout for repeat payments.

About bKash

bKash launched in July 2011 as a mobile financial service built by BRAC Bank with its subsidiary bKash Limited, turning a mobile phone into an account and digital wallet. It appears on Bangladesh Bank's list of mobile financial service (MFS) providers, and the Financial Express describes it as the country's largest MFS provider. By July 2026 bKash had placed interoperable Bangla QR codes at nearly 800,000 merchant outlets.

For online merchants, bKash runs a payment gateway. Customers approve a payment from their bKash account, and with tokenised checkout they can link their account to a merchant so that later payments need only their PIN rather than an account number and one-time code. Depending on the merchant's arrangement with bKash, an extra charge may be added to the payment amount, so agencies should check how any fee is shown to customers.

For travel agencies in Bangladesh, many customers prefer to pay for tickets and holidays from a mobile wallet rather than a card. A bKash option at checkout lets these customers complete a booking online without visiting an office or making a cash deposit.
