Mutual Trust Bank Limited in collaboration with Mastercard, announced the launch of 'Bangla QR', an interoperable Quick Response (QR) code-based payment acceptance solution, through a ceremony held at a city hotel recently. Bangla QR will allow cardholders using Mastercard branded credit, debit and prepaid cards issued by Mutual Trust Bank (MTB) to carry out payments merely using a QR code generated by the MTB mobile banking application. With this latest technology, MTB Mastercard cardholders will need to simply 'scan to pay' by accessing the Mastercard QR option on their MTB mobile banking apps and by scanning the QR code displayed at the merchant's checkout counter. Cardholders will then have to enter the amount they wish to transact and enter their PIN, completing the payment with their debit, credit or prepaid cards issued by MTB. By providing a quick, secure and innovative approach to transact, Mastercard's QR technology eliminates the need for consumers to carry cash and enhances the degree of convenience that users will enjoy.
