Dhaka, Bangladesh – June 24, 2025 – The long wait for a simpler and more secure way to pay is over. Google Pay has officially launched in Bangladesh today, marking a significant milestone in the country’s journey towards a cashless society. The service, known as G Pay 2025, is set to change how people in Bangladesh use their money for daily transactions.
The launch, held at a hotel in Dhaka, was inaugurated by the Governor of Bangladesh Bank, Dr. Ahsan H. Mansur. This move signals a new chapter for digital payments in the nation.
For the first time, Bangladeshis can now use their Android smartphones for tap-to-pay purchases. This means no more searching for cash or swiping physical cards. A simple tap of a phone at any supporting payment terminal is all it takes to complete a transaction.
Initially, this service is available for customers of City Bank. Users with a City Bank Mastercard or Visa card can now add their cards to the Google Wallet app. Google has announced that it will work to include more banks in the near future, allowing more people to enjoy this convenient service.
Using G Pay 2025 is simple. Customers need to download the Google Wallet app from the Google Play Store on their Android phones. After a quick setup process to add their City Bank card, they can start making payments at shops, restaurants, and any place that accepts contactless payments.
One of the biggest advantages of Google Pay 2025 is its strong security. The system uses a technology called tokenization. This means your real card number is never shared with the merchant. Instead, a unique digital token is used for each transaction. This keeps your financial information safe and secure.
Google has also confirmed that it will not charge any extra fees for using Google Pay. This will make it an attractive option for both customers and businesses across Bangladesh.
The introduction of Google Pay 2025 is expected to greatly boost the digital economy in Bangladesh. With a large number of people using Android smartphones, the service is accessible to a wide audience. This will make daily payments easier and faster for everyone, from busy city dwellers to people in rural areas.
This launch is part of Google’s broader expansion in the South Asian region. Earlier this year, Google Pay also started its services in Pakistan, and it continues to grow in India and other parts of Asia. The arrival of Google Pay 2025 in Bangladesh shows the country’s growing importance in the global digital landscape.
