Managing Director / Chief Executive Officer All Mobile Financial Services (MFS) Providers operating in Bangladesh

Dear Sir,

Regarding Refixation of Mobile Financial Services (MFS) Transaction Limits.

Mobile Financial Services (MFS) are currently playing a significant role in the country's overall payment system. In the context of the COVID-19 outbreak, along with the expansion of the scope and coverage of MFS transactions, government initiatives, education, social safety net financial assistance, and other programs provided through this medium have increased significantly. At the same time, the propensity to use MFS among the low-income population has increased at a notable rate. Therefore, considering the continuous demand for MFS and the goal of encouraging e-cash, it is necessary to refix the transaction limits for individual MFS accounts.

2. In view of the above context, the transaction limits for individual accounts in Mobile Financial Services are hereby refixed as follows:

Service	Frequency	Maximum Amount (BDT)
1. Cash-in
Agent Point	Daily	Applicable
	Monthly	30,000/-
Bank Transfer (Bank Account and Card)	Daily	50,000/-
	Monthly	3,00,000/-
2. Cash-out	Daily	25,000/-
	Monthly	1,50,000/-
3. P2P (Person to Person)	Daily	25,000/-
	Monthly	2,00,000/-
4. Account Balance	---	3,00,000/-

However, MFS provider institutions may determine the transaction limits for their respective institution's customers not to exceed the above limits based on their institution's risk analysis.

3. Furthermore, other instructions contained in PSD Circular No.-01/2019 issued on 19/05/2019 shall remain unchanged.

This directive shall take effect immediately.

Yours faithfully,
