Many garment factories that disbursed wages to workers digitally at the height of the pandemic in Bangladesh are gradually returning to cash payments although electronic transfers provide a lot of benefits, said speakers yesterday.
Before the pandemic, 4 lakh workers from 300 factories used to receive salaries through bKash, the largest mobile financial service (MFS) in the country.
The number of workers getting payment digitally rose to 11 lakh after the government imposed a lockdown in March last year to slow the spread of the rogue virus in the country.
