City Bank Limited has made history in Bangladesh’s banking and digital payment sector by becoming the first bank in the country to launch Google Pay. Continuing its legacy of innovation and technology-driven financial services, City Bank now enables its customers to make payments easily, quickly, and securely — right from their smartphones.
According to City Bank, “Google Pay is now available exclusively at City Bank! Open your account today and make seamless payments locally and internationally with just one tap.” The bank believes this service will make daily transactions, bill payments, online shopping, and international payments more convenient for customers — all without any hassle.
Google Pay is one of the world’s leading digital payment platforms, widely used across countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and India. With this launch, Bangladeshi users can now enjoy the same “tap-to-pay” experience through NFC technology using City Bank’s system.
Fintech experts consider this a major milestone for Bangladesh’s digital banking ecosystem. As online transactions gain massive popularity across the country, the integration of an international payment system like Google Pay is expected to push Bangladesh into the global fintech mainstream.
City Bank has long been a pioneer in digital banking with services such as the Citytouch App, online account opening, and international card facilities — all designed to enhance customers’ tech-based banking experience.
With the introduction of Google Pay, City Bank customers can now make payments not just within Bangladesh but also abroad. This opens opportunities for both expatriate Bangladeshis and international business users to make direct transactions from their City Bank accounts through Google Pay.
Industry experts believe this marks a significant step toward building a “Smart Bangladesh,” further accelerating the country’s transition toward a cashless digital economy.
