Frequently asked questions
Do I need a trade licence to get a DBID?
No — trade licence, company number, BIN and TIN are listed as 'if any'. But a trade licence is still required to operate legally and for most payment gateways.
Is DBID the same as BanglaBiz ID (BBID)?
No. DBID identifies digital sellers; BBID is the account ID on the BanglaBiz investment portal.
