Currently these services are provided by banks, microfinance institutions, and mobile networks, regulated by Bangladesh Bank. Over 100 million people now use mobile banking in Bangladesh, driven by growing smartphone and internet access. However, lack of awareness in rural areas, security concerns, and insufficient infrastructure pose challenges, though new technologies may help address these issues and further growth in the promising mobile finance sector.

    Introduction : Mobile finance services in Bangladesh began to take off

    in 2011, when a few commercial banks launched mobile banking services


    in the country. The services offered initially were basic and included
    services such as account balance inquiries, mini-statements, and bill
    payments. However, over the years, the number of services offered has
    grown to include various other options such as mobile money transfers,
    mobile payments, and mobile microfinance.
    Current Situation of Mobile Finance Services : Currently, mobile
    finance services in Bangladesh are provided by a number of different
    players, including commercial banks, microfinance institutions, and
    mobile network operators. The Bangladesh Bank, the country's central
    bank, regulates these services to ensure compliance with laws and
    regulations.
    In the present, mobile finance services have become quite popular in
    Bangladesh, particularly among the younger generation and the urban
    population. According to the Bangladesh Bank, as of 2021, more than 100
    million people in the country use mobile banking services, and the number
    is growing rapidly. The popularity of these services can be attributed to
    several factors, such as the increasing availability of smartphones and
    internet connectivity, as well as the convenience and accessibility of these
    services.
    The Challenges of Mobile Finance Services in Bangladesh : However,
    despite the rapid growth of mobile finance in Bangladesh, there are still
    several challenges that need to be addressed. One major problem is a lack
    of awareness and understanding of mobile finance services among the
    population, particularly in rural areas. Many people, especially those in
    rural areas, are still not familiar with the concept of mobile banking and
    how to use these services. Additionally, there are concerns about security
    and fraud, as well as the need for more robust and reliable mobile
    networks in order to ensure the smooth functioning of these services.
    Another challenge is the lack of proper infrastructure and regulatory
    framework to support and secure mobile finance services. The
    government and other related organizations have been working to
    improve the overall infrastructure and regulatory framework to support
    and secure mobile finance services, but the progress is slow.
    Future of Mobile Finance Services in Bangladesh: Despite these
    challenges, there are also many prospects for the future of mobile finance
    in Bangladesh. With a large and growing population of mobile phone
    users, and a rapidly expanding economy, there is a huge potential market
    for mobile finance services. Additionally, with the development of new
    technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence, the potential
    for innovation and expansion of services is huge.
    For example, the use of blockchain technology in mobile finance services
    could enhance security, transparency, and efficiency. Additionally, the
    use of artificial intelligence in mobile finance services could improve the
    customer experience by providing personalized and more efficient
    services.
    Overall, mobile finance services have the potential to greatly benefit the
    people of Bangladesh, particularly those in rural areas who may have
    limited access to traditional banking services. The government and related
    organizations are working to improve the awareness and access to these
    services, while also addressing the challenges and security issues to make
    sure it is accessible to all and in a secure way.
