How to verify a bKash number before payment

Start with the exact number

Ask the seller to write the full number and stated account-holder or business name. Avoid relying on a number embedded only inside an image.

Check public context without exposing secrets

Search for matching community reports and confirm that the number fits Bangladesh mobile formatting. No report means safety is unknown, not confirmed.

Enter the number in the official bKash flow

Before approving a transfer, compare the recipient information displayed by bKash with what the seller told you. Cancel if it does not match.

Match the seller identity across evidence

Compare the website, social profile, invoice, phone and payment recipient. A personal account can be legitimate, but unexplained identity differences require caution.

Remember what verification cannot prove

Even a real wallet and matching name can be used in a harmful transaction or controlled by another person. Consider product evidence, seller history and recovery options too.
