Bangladesh Bank has announced plans to introduce a new interoperable digital payment platform called the Inclusive Instant Payment System (IIPS) by July 2027, aiming to make the country’s financial transactions fully cashless. The initiative, supported by the Gates Foundation’s Mojaloop platform, will connect banks, mobile financial services (MFS), insurance companies, and other financial institutions under a unified system. Governor Ahsan H. Mansur stated that the system will enhance transparency, reduce corruption, and lower transaction costs by minimizing the need for cash-outs. The agreement for the platform was signed virtually for security reasons. Experts believe the system will formalize the informal economy and could boost Bangladesh’s GDP by 2.5% to 5.4%, equivalent to an additional $12–25 billion. Currently, the country spends around Tk 20,000 crore annually on cash handling and currency management, a cost expected to drop significantly once IIPS is operational.
