About Bangla QR
In Bangladesh, QR codes are paid through Bangla QR, operated by Bangladesh Bank. Bangla QR is the central bank's interoperable standard for banks and mobile financial services.
You will see Bangla QR codes at shops, restaurants, pharmacies and ride services. With QRiks every one of them can be paid with USDT, and the merchant receives Bangladeshi taka as usual.
Can I pay Bangla QR codes without a Bangladeshi bank account?
Yes. With QRiks you scan the Bangla QR code and pay with USDT. A vetted payer in Bangladesh pays the merchant from their own Bangladeshi account, so you don't need a local bank account, card or phone number.
What does the merchant in Bangladesh receive?
The merchant receives Bangladeshi taka (BDT) through Bangla QR, exactly like a payment from a local customer. They don't need to know about QRiks or accept crypto.
What do I pay with?
USDT on Polygon from your QRiks wallet. The quote shows the exchange rate, our fee and the network cost before you confirm.
Who runs Bangla QR?
Bangla QR is operated by Bangladesh Bank.
What if the payment doesn't go through?
Your USDT stays in escrow until an independent validator in Bangladesh confirms that the merchant was paid. If the merchant wasn't paid, your USDT is returned.
Where can I pay with Bangla QR in Bangladesh?
Anywhere a Bangla QR QR code is displayed: shops, restaurants, pharmacies and ride services.
