The country’s first automated monthly gold savings option has been launched, allowing users to set aside between BDT 1,000 and BDT 50,000 in gold every month. With this “Auto Gold Save” feature, users can automate monthly transfers from their bKash accounts on a specified date with prior consent, converting their savings directly into gold holdings in their accounts.
This new feature is expected to simplify the gold savings process, encouraging consistent, hassle-free investment in gold. The initiative aims to foster a culture of regular savings, promote financial literacy, and support greater financial inclusion across Bangladesh.
To further incentivize users, each transaction through bKash will offer a 5% cashback up to BDT 5,000 per month, available during November and December. The app seeks to make gold purchasing easy, accessible, and affordable, and it is available for download on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
