Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to complete KYC before sending BDT?
Yes. You must complete KAST identity verification (KYC) before you can send BDT payouts. Depending on your country of residence or account activity, KAST may also ask you to provide additional documents, such as Proof of Address (PoA) or Source of Funds (SoF), before your payout can be processed.
What network is used for BDT payouts?
BDT payouts are sent through the Bangladesh Electronic Funds Transfer Network (BEFTN). This network enables electronic transfers between participating bank accounts in Bangladesh.
Why is my BDT payout taking longer than expected?
Most BDT payouts are processed by the next business day, but delays can sometimes occur. Processing times may be affected by weekends, public holidays, banking hours, or the recipient bank's internal processing schedule.
Can I cancel or edit a BDT payout after confirming it?
No. Once you confirm a BDT payout, it begins processing and cannot be canceled or edited. Always review the recipient's banking details carefully before submitting the transfer.
What happens if my payout fails?
If your payout cannot be completed, the funds will be returned to your KAST account once the payment has been reversed. This commonly happens when the recipient's bank details are incorrect or incomplete.
Can I send BDT from anywhere?
You can send BDT payouts from supported countries where KAST services are available. You must also have completed KYC verification and not be located in a prohibited jurisdiction.
