In this quarter, Nagad set new records across all segments, including bank add money, payments, remittance, person-to-person transactions, cash-in, and cash-out. Significant progress was also made in the distribution of government allowances and stipends.
In the first quarter of 2025, Nagad’s transactions stood at Tk 92,054 crore. In the following quarter, it slightly declined to Tk 91,333 crore.

In March, this figure was surpassed, reaching Tk 41,469 crore. In between, during the election period, some restrictions were imposed for several days on transactions of Nagad and other mobile financial service operators. As a result, the transaction volume during that period (Tk 29,585 crore) was slightly lower.
The company’s Administrator, Md. Motasim Billah, said that customer confidence is increasing due to comparatively lower costs, free send money services, and affordable remittance facilities, which are acting as the main drivers of transaction growth.
