In a move to make digital payments easier and more exciting for young people Pathao Pay has launched a brand-new line of prepaid cards in partnership with Mastercard and Mutual Trust Bank PLC (MTB).
Announced on Sunday, this fresh initiative is designed especially for Bangladesh’s growing youth segment offering flexible, secure, and real-time payments without needing a traditional bank account.
Whether physical or virtual, these wallet-linked cards work seamlessly with Pathao Pay and support:
-
Online and offline purchases
-
ATM cash withdrawals
-
Tap-and-go (NFC) payments
-
Instant balance updates after each transaction
The cards come in three stylish designs Starlit Horizon, Purple Haze, and Sunshine Beach reflecting the creativity and individuality of young users.
Fahim Ahmed, CEO of Pathao, said,
“These are the first wallet-linked cards of their kind in Bangladesh. Young people today want freedom freedom to spend, to save, to move. That’s exactly what these cards offer. At Pathao, we believe in building a lifestyle, not just a product.”
