The Postal Department has
taken final preparatory
measures to launch
its ‘mobile money order
service’ from November 1,
official sources said.
It will provide an
alternative to courier money
order service now being
operated using mobile phones
by private courier agencies
at exorbitant charges.
The government plans to break
the monopoly and provide low-
cost money transfer service
to rural people under the
plan, Director General of
Postal Department Mobasher-ur-
Rahman told BSS yesterday.
He said the Postal Department
will set up a ‘virtual
private network’ with its
server located at General
Post Office in Dhaka. The
government has already
invited tender to set up the
system, he said.
He said all the leading
mobile phone companies
operating in the country are
taking part in the bid.
