The Bangladesh Bank has instructed banks, mobile financial services (MFS) providers and payment service providers (PSPs) to credit Bangla QR payments to merchants’ accounts instantly from 1 October, replacing the current one-day settlement period.<\/p>\n

The central bank issued the directive to the institutions today (17 September) as part of measures to make Bangla QR-based digital payments faster and more convenient.<\/p>\n

From 1 October, banks, MFS providers and PSPs must place the Bangla QR payment icon at the bottom-centre of their mobile app home pages, where users can easily reach it with their thumbs.<\/p>\n

By 31 October, the institutions must also enable customers to make Bangla QR payments by uploading an image of a QR code, in addition to scanning it.<\/p>\n

Within the same deadline, all savings and current account holders, including cardholders, must be provided with the facility to make payments by scanning Bangla QR codes through their mobile apps.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh Bank said the directives aim to popularise digital transactions through Bangla QR, make payments more customer-friendly and encourage merchants to accept digital payments.<\/p>\n

The new instant-credit facility will mean merchants no longer have to wait for funds to be credited to their accounts after a Bangla QR payment is made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The central bank also orders banks, MFS providers and PSPs to make Bangla QR easily accessible in apps…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":628463,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[61,60,202,80],"class_list":["post-628462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=628462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/628463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=628462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=628462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=628462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
