Growth in the number of international payments
Payza, an e-commerce, corporate disbursement and remittance platform, is experiencing ‘unprecedented growth’ in the number of international payments directed into Bangladesh since it entered the country earlier this year (view press release).
“When we first launched Payza in Bangladesh earlier this year, we entered the country with the mission of providing an emerging market with access to the same level of international monetary transfer services as is enjoyed in developed markets,” said Payza CEO Alastair Graham. “The Government of Bangladesh is seeking methods with which to facilitate the growth of the country’s freelance IT sector internationally. We have an important role to play in providing international payments services to this booming sector. Thanks to the implementation of the BEFTN (Bangladesh Electronic Funds Transfer Network), we have been able to work in concert with government and members of the country’s banking sector to bring Payza’s affordable, secure and convenient services to Bangladeshis.”
