| How To Pay Metlife Premium By Bkash App |
Step 1: Ensure Your bKash Account is Ready
Before you begin, it's essential to ensure your bKash account is in good standing and ready for the transaction. This might seem basic, but a little preparation goes a long way in preventing any payment hiccups.
1.1. Check Your bKash Balance
- Open your bKash app.
- From the main menu, look for the "Check Balance" or "My bKash" option.
- Verify that you have sufficient funds in your bKash wallet to cover your MetLife premium amount. Remember to account for any small transaction fees if applicable, though bKash generally waives fees for insurance premium payments.
1.2. Ensure Strong Internet Connection
- A stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) is crucial for a smooth transaction. An interrupted connection can lead to payment failures.
1.3. Update Your bKash App (Optional but Recommended)
- While not strictly necessary for every transaction, keeping your bKash app updated to the latest version ensures you have access to the newest features and security enhancements.
- Visit your app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS) and check for any pending updates for the bKash app.
Step 2: Navigating to the "Pay Bill" Section
Now that your bKash account is primed, let's open the app and find the correct section to initiate your premium payment.

Step 5: Reviewing and Confirming Your Payment
