bKash Breaks Barriers: Mobile Money Giant Triples Profits in H1 2025
Mobile financial services (MFS) provider bKash has posted a net profit of BDT 3.08 billion in the first half of 2025—after taxes and expenses—marking a near threefold increase compared to the same period last year, when net profit stood at BDT 1.09 billion.
According to the half-yearly financial report (January–June) of the BRAC Bank subsidiary, bKash earned BDT 32.06 billion in total revenue during this period, up from BDT 24.62 billion in the corresponding period last year. This represents a revenue growth of approximately BDT 7.44 billion or 30 percent. While income increased by 30 percent, profits more than doubled during the same timeframe.
An analysis of bKash’s financial performance over the past decade reveals consistent growth. In 2014, bKash reported total revenue of BDT 5.73 billion and a profit of BDT 190 million. Both figures have since multiplied significantly, establishing bKash as a highly profitable fintech enterprise.
Since its inception in 2011, bKash achieved a record annual profit of BDT 3 billion just last year—surpassing its previous high of BDT 990 million in 2023. Now, with BDT 3.08 billion already booked in the first half of this year, industry insiders expect the company’s annual profit in 2025 to exceed BDT 6 billion.
bKash currently boasts a customer base of approximately 80 million across Bangladesh. The company operates through 330,000 agents and over 550,000 merchant points. Beyond money transfers, bKash offers services such as utility bill payments, nano-loans, and digital deposit products.
In addition to BRAC Bank, bKash’s shareholder portfolio includes prominent international investors such as U.S.-based Money in Motion, the World Bank Group’s International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Ant International, and SoftBank.
