The idea was to listen to the consumer first, understand their sentiment and needs and then provide the best possible mobile financial service solution to them. And while communicating the app features and offerings, the “simplicity” route was always opted for. The vision was to establish bKash app as the most simplified financial solution and in the process establish bKash as an aspiring brand.

• After that, 5 social experiment videos were made and published to give the customer a feel that bKash has listened to their demands and building the app based on their feedback.
