bKash Priyo Agent: Everything You Need to Know
bKash introduced the "Priyo Agent" feature to give relief to regular users from high cash-out charges. But many users still don't use it because they don't know how to set it up or how it works.
This guide will explain exactly how to use this feature to lower your cash out fee from 18.50 Tk to 14.90 Tk per thousand.
What is a Priyo Agent?
A "Priyo Agent" is a specific bKash agent number that you select in your app. Once selected, any cash out made specifically to that agent will be charged at a lower rate.
The Math:
- Regular Charge: 18.50 Tk per 1,000 Tk.
- Priyo Agent Charge: 14.90 Tk per 1,000 Tk.
- Savings: 3.60 Tk per 1,000 Tk.
How to Add a Priyo Agent (Step-by-Step)
- Open your bKash App.
- Tap on the "Cash Out" icon.
- Select "Priyo Agent" from the options.
- Tap the "Add" button.
- Enter the Agent Number of your local shop (or select from contacts/history).
- Enter your PIN to confirm.
Congratulations! You have successfully added a Priyo Agent.
Important Limits & Rules
There are some restrictions you must know to avoid surprises:
- Monthly Limit: The reduced rate applies only up to 50,000 Tk per month.
- Over the Limit: If you cash out more than 50,000 Tk in a month, the charge reverts to the standard 18.50% for the excess amount.
- One Agent Only: You can only have 1 Priyo Agent at a time.
- Changing Agent: You can change your Priyo Agent number only once per calendar month.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Don't add a Personal Number: You cannot add a personal bKash account as a Priyo Agent. It must be an official Agent wallet.
