We, the undersigned citizens of Bangladesh, respectfully submit this petition to advocate for the integration of Google Wallet, Samsung Pay, and Apple Pay into our financial ecosystem. We believe that the adoption of these digital payment platforms will significantly contribute to the creation of a cashless society in Bangladesh, bringing numerous benefits to our economy and daily lives.

Benefits of Integrating Google Wallet, Samsung Pay, and Apple Pay:

Enhanced Convenience and Security: These platforms offer a secure and convenient way to make payments using smartphones and smartwatches. With features like biometric authentication and tokenization, users can enjoy a higher level of security compared to traditional payment methods.

Promotion of Digital Transactions: Encouraging the use of digital wallets will reduce the reliance on cash, thereby decreasing the risks associated with carrying physical money. This shift will also help in curbing illegal activities such as money laundering and tax evasion.

Support for Rapid Pass of the Metro Rail: Integrating these payment platforms with the Rapid Pass system of the Metro Rail will streamline the commuting experience for millions of passengers. This will not only save time but also promote the use of public transportation.

Linkage with Bangladeshi MFS Providers: By enabling these platforms to link with local Mobile Financial Services (MFS) providers like bKash, alongside credit and debit cards, we can create a more inclusive financial ecosystem. This will allow users to seamlessly transfer funds, pay bills, and make purchases, fostering greater financial inclusion.

Boosting Economic Growth: A cashless society will lead to increased transparency in financial transactions, thereby boosting investor confidence and attracting foreign investments. This will ultimately contribute to the overall economic growth of Bangladesh.

Call to Action:

We urge the Government of Bangladesh to take the necessary steps to facilitate the integration of Google Wallet, Samsung Pay, and Apple Pay into our financial system.

This includes: Collaborating with these companies to ensure compatibility with local banking and MFS providers. Implementing policies that encourage the adoption of digital payments. Ensuring that these platforms support the Rapid Pass system of the Metro Rail. We believe that these measures will pave the way for a more efficient, secure, and inclusive financial landscape in Bangladesh.
