Standard Chartered Bangladesh, the country’s oldest and largest foreign commercial bank, has recently launched the Bangla QR Payment service for its customers. While other local commercial banks and fintech service providers in Bangladesh have already been offering QR-based payment solutions, Standard Chartered has now activated this service for its customers, providing a more modern and convenient payment option.
What is Bangla QR?
Bangla QR is a modern, secure, and user-friendly digital payment solution supported by all banks and fintech institutions in Bangladesh. It allows users to perform fast and secure transactions via mobile banking apps or QR scanning platforms. With Bangla QR, customers can make payments at shops, restaurants, e-commerce platforms, and other points-of-sale (POS) locations without using cash, making transactions faster, more transparent, and easier.
How does Bangla QR Work?
Bangla QR Payment is a simple and secure transaction method that operates via QR code scanning. Merchants or service providers display their payment QR code, which customers scan using their mobile banking or fintech app. After verifying the transaction amount, customers authorize the payment. Funds are then transferred directly to the recipient’s bank account, eliminating the need for cash, checks, or other cumbersome processes, while ensuring fast, secure, and transparent transactions.
How Standard Chartered Bangladesh Clients Can Use Bangla QR:
Clients of Standard Chartered Bangladesh do not need to install any separate application to make payments using Bangla QR. They can simply use the QR Code Scanning option within the SC Mobile app to scan the merchant’s QR code with their mobile camera and complete payments effortlessly. Customers who are already using Standard Chartered’s mobile app but don't see this feature are requested to update their SC Mobile Bangladesh app to the latest version via their respective app stores.
An additional key feature of the SC Mobile Bangladesh app allows users to scan QR codes directly from images stored in their gallery. This is particularly useful when dealing with remote or trusted merchants, enabling users to complete payments from the comfort of their home. Furthermore, family members, acquaintances, or even account holders residing abroad can make payments using a shared image of the QR code. This feature offers significant convenience while ensuring fast, secure, and flexible transactions.
So, The Bangla QR Payment service by Standard Chartered Bangladesh ensures fast, secure, and convenient digital transactions, enabling payments to be made from home or remotely with ease.
