EkShop is the architect of the nation’s first escrow solution. Launched in 2019, It was ekShop, that initiated the piloting of the country’s first ESCROW payment security systems (safekeeping transactions between buyer and sellers). The service was developed by SSL Commerz and ran with Bank Asia as the fiduciary partner. This system was discontinued after becoming obsolete as Bangladesh Bank Regulation mandating all commercial payment gateway and bank gateways to follow ESCROW policy from 2021 onwards.
