Over 10,000 Nagad accounts have been reactivated
In consultation with authorities and after extensive analysis and scrutiny, the accounts are being reactivated. Following the same process, after cross-matching the customer information with the merchant, the rest of the accounts will be reactivated within the shortest possible time.
While the Nagad account balances are put on hold for possible misuse of the refund system, Nagad reactivated more than 5,000 accounts on Monday evening, taking the total number of reactivated accounts to more than 10,000, states a press release.
In consultation with authorities and after extensive analysis and scrutiny, the accounts are being reactivated. Following the same process, after cross-matching the customer information with the merchant, the rest of the accounts will be reactivated within the shortest possible time.
After observing signs of inconsistent transactions with some e-commerce platforms of the country, Nagad's state-of-the-earth technologies automatically suspended the balances of some accounts temporarily for the sake of customer security.
Nagad immediately communicated the issue with the concerned authorities, including the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU). Subsequent discussions and consultations with the authorities and thorough screening and extensive scrutiny have resulted in a satisfactory outcome, paving the way for the gradual reactivation of the accounts.
The reactivated accounts are already carrying out all types of transactions like before and are enjoying all of the exciting offers of Nagad. Nagad has always worked for ordinary people and is firmly committed to ensuring that people's money does not face the slightest risk.
Since its launch on 26 March 2019, Bangladesh Post Office's mobile financial service Nagad has been working to move people's financial transactions to the digital platform. In the last two and a half years, Nagad has acquired 5.5 crore customers, with average daily transactions going past BDT 700 crore.
