Currently, customers of bKash, Rocket, Nagad and other MFS providers can transfer up to Tk 50,000 per day and up to Tk 300,000 per month to other users. They can do a maximum of 50 transactions per day and 100 transactions per month.
In response to the Election Commission’s request, BFIU has proposed that each customer can send up to Taka 10,000 per day to another customer, with a limit of 10 transactions per day.
Officials plan to enforce these limits from February 8 to 13. Following the proposal from BFIU, Bangladesh Bank has started the preparatory work.

Popular platforms include BRAC Bank’s Aastha, Citibank’s CitiTouch, Islami Bank’s Cellfin, Dutch-Bangla Bank’s NexPay and Pubali Bank’s PI.
Through these services, individual customers can transact up to 1 million taka (10 lakh) per day, with a per transaction limit of 300,000 taka and a maximum of 10 transactions per day.
