Request for Bangladeshi Payment Method Support on Steam

[CRAYON]

Dear Steam Support Team,

I am writing to request the inclusion of Bangladeshi payment methods on the Steam platform. Bangladesh has a growing gaming community, and providing local payment options like bKash, Nagad, and Rocket would greatly enhance the gaming experience for users in our country. We believe this expansion would benefit both Steam and the local gaming community.

Please consider this request and let us know how we can assist in making it a reality. Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,

Ayon

There are too many currencies in the world and to be added the users of said currency need to reach a certain % of total global users and a certain value in the global market for game developers to want to accept payment in that currency.

Steam does not set the prices, that is the game devs that set them.

[CRAYON]

That's fine. Steam doesn't set prices in Bangladesh because the game prices are too high for the reason of USD. India has its own payment system and currency.Having a population of over 170 million,Developers will not suffer a loss. If we get our payment method in our hands, many people will be keen to buy games. At the end of the day, everyone will be happy.

Valve already suggest lowered prices for Bangladesh...

We also recommend a discounted USD price for several South Asian countries where we don't have local pricing. This is presented as "SASIA-USD" in the pricing tools. These countries are: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

1 Bangladeshi Taka is worth 0.0091 USD.
It is worth less than 1¢ USD.
The Turkish Lira is worth 1 Lira = 4¢ USD and it is getting removed, what makes you think a currency worth even less will get added?

My apologies brother, we need to pay 1 USD for 115 TAKA. If we wanted to pay with a card, we needed to pay 15% VAT for the Card charges. Steam wallet is another option, but it is also sold by 3rd parties at a higher price. In our country, there is no PayPal, so there is no direct payment method. As a result, we desperately need a localized payment system.

And while your currency is worth so little, it won't happen.
Your currency needs to have proper global value to get foreign businesses to accept it.
