8 tactics to cut bKash fees

1. Use ATM cash-out for amounts > ৳5,000 — saves 0.36% (small but adds up).
2. Batch cash-outs: one ৳20,000 cash-out beats four ৳5,000s, because percentage stays the same but trips/time-cost drop.
3. Pay merchants directly via QR or send money — 0% fee instead of cashing out and paying in notes.
4. Set up Priyojon numbers for 25 free send-money targets.
5. Use Rocket / Nagad for utility bills — often free or discounted.
6. Bank transfer for big amounts — instant BEFTN under ৳10 lakh is free at most banks.
7. Track all MFS fees in Moneybag — when you see the annual total in your reports, behaviour changes fast.
8. Reduce float — money sitting in bKash earns 0% and is too easy to cash out. Move excess to a savings account weekly.
