Critical Analysis of Enterprise including Product/Service Offering: Through B-Kash, people

can transfer money from one place to another using a basic mobile phone and simple protection.
Other than that, Bkash also gives its customers more features by adding functions for making
payments, paying bills, buying items, whether physical or electronic. It's very different with
mobile banking, also known as M-Banking or SMS banking, whether in terms of use. In m-
banking, the customer can perform account balance checks, perform account transactions, make
payments, and make credit applications and other banking businesses via a mobile phone. The
m-banking system requires the customer to download a mobile phone application and the user
needs to connect to the internet when they want to make transaction services provided by bkash.

Bkash continues to operate a large network of services. Registration as a bakash customer and
cash in is free of transaction. For a person-to-person money transfer, the buyer must also incur a
flat-rate fee of BDT 2 (or $.02) of the size of the deal. If the consumer wishes to cash out the
sum is a fixed rate of 1.85 per cent on each withdrawal. For instance, if the worker needs to cash
out DBT 50, the processing fee is BDT 0.92 or ($.01). "Most Bkash customers have such small
tickets, but their high volume compensates for the apparent small size of the fare. Once users
have electronic money in their mobile wallets, they will suddenly send the money to another
mobile wallet. The receiver can go to BKash Retail Agents who offer physical cash in return for
electronic money and charge service fees. "Bkash's focus on reaching the poor distinguishes it
from services that have cash-in fees or a minimum cash-out fee."
