About Padma Tech

We Build the Rails Bangladesh Runs On

Founded in Dhaka in 2019, Padma Tech started with a simple frustration: every business in Bangladesh had to rebuild the same payment plumbing from scratch. We set out to make accepting and sending money as easy as a single API call.

Today more than 4,200 merchants — from ride-hailing apps to garment exporters — route over ৳920 crore through our platform every month, with teams in Dhaka and Chattogram keeping it running around the clock.

Our story

From One Frustration to a Nationwide Platform

In 2019, our founders were building a logistics startup and lost three weeks just wiring up bKash, a card gateway, and bank disbursements — three integrations, three reconciliation files, three support queues. They realised every team in the country was repeating that same work.

Padma Tech is the company they wished had existed: one API for every way Bangladesh pays, with settlement, payouts, and reconciliation handled behind a single dashboard. We turned that lost month into an afternoon.

What we believe

Three Principles Behind Every Decision

They guide what we build, what we refuse to ship, and how we treat the merchants who trust us with their money.

Trust Is Earned in Milliseconds

A payment that fails at checkout is a customer lost forever. We obsess over reliability so your buyers never see a spinning wheel.

Built for Bangladesh First

We don't bolt local wallets onto a foreign gateway. bKash, Nagad, and Rocket are first-class citizens, designed in from day one.

Ship, Then Ship Again

Our engineers release every week. When a merchant asks for a feature, we'd rather build it than write a roadmap promise.
