How do I open a Nagad account?

Published guidance gives these steps: download the app, choose to open an account, select your ID type and upload photographs of both sides of your national ID, take a selfie for face verification, read and accept the terms, provide a digital signature, and finally set a PIN.

The overall shape matches bKash — verify identity, match the face, set a PIN. The differences are in the detail: Nagad asks for both sides of the ID uploaded separately and includes a digital-signature step, which does not appear in bKash’s published steps.

One thing is common to both and it matters: opening an account requires your own national ID and a face match. That is not a formality — its purpose is to stop accounts being opened in someone else’s name.

⚠️ These steps come from published third-party guidance and the provider can change the process at any time. Follow what the app itself shows; this description is only to tell you what to expect.
