Business: A mid-sized online clothing store in Dhaka (monthly online sales ~BDT 15–20 lakh, mix of card 40% + bKash/Nagad 60%).

Activated lifetime promo rates for early merchants: 1.75% on bKash, 2.1% on Visa/Mastercard.

Next-day (T+1) settlements improved inventory turnover.

Results & Savings:

Average monthly processing volume: BDT 18 lakh.
Old fees: ~BDT 36,000–38,000/month (blended ~2.1%).
