Pathao Launches Digital Payment on Delivery for Courier and Parcel Service

Pathao, one of the country's leading digital service providers, has officially launched Digital Payment on Delivery (DPOD) for its courier and parcel service.

Through this facility, when a parcel goes into 'Out for Delivery' status, customers will receive a payment link by SMS. By going to the link and tapping the 'Pay Now' option, they can pay by bank card or mobile wallet (MFS).

As a result, there will be no need to keep cash ready in advance for payment, to arrange change, or to be present at the delivery location to pay. Pathao said customers will face no difficulty paying even if they are not present at the delivery location.

Pathao says the main aim of this initiative is to ensure customers' freedom, flexibility and comfort in paying for courier deliveries. Customers will be able to complete secure and fast digital payments at the moment of receiving the parcel or before it, making the delivery process faster and more customer-friendly.

The company said the initiative also brings a new dimension for merchants connected with Pathao Courier. With multiple payment options at the delivery point, merchants' customers can remain hassle-free through to the final step of their purchase.

Pathao said making digital payment a regular and reliable habit in any delivery is one of Pathao Courier's goals. According to the company, the initiative will change the traditional cash dependence in the courier sector and build a new culture of digital payment in Bangladesh.
