bKash has suspended its payment gateway service with ten online merchants, including Evaly, citing protection of customers’ interest.
The other merchants are Alesha Mart, Dhamaka Shopping, E-orange, Sirajgonj Shop, Aladiner prodip, Qcoom, Boom Boom, Adyan Mart and Needs.
According to an official statement published on bKash’s website on Saturday, bKash stated that the company will resume transactions with the following companies when the payment system with these companies will be implemented in compliance with the regulatory guidelines issued by Bangladesh Bank.
Earlier on June 22, Brac bank instructed its customers not to use their cards for purchasing goods from 10 e-commerce sites, including Evaly and Alesha Mart.
The bank authority came up with the decision as hundreds of customers of some e-commerce platforms raised allegations about not getting products on time after paying in advance through cards.
Later on June 24, Dhaka Bank too suspended its transaction with the 10 e-commerce platforms and on June 25, Prime Bank and Mutual Trust Bank followed suit.
