Send Money to Bangladesh — Compare Fees and Exchange Rates
The cheapest transfer is not the one with the lowest fee. Enter the amount you want to send and compare how many taka actually reaches your family, after fees and exchange rate markup.
Exchange rates update automatically from live mid-market data — the Wise rate is the real-time mid-market rate. Fees and other services' rates are indicative: confirm the final quote in the provider's app.
How to read this comparison
The "recipient gets" column is the only number that matters: amount sent, minus the fee, converted at the service's real exchange rate. Two services with identical fees can differ by thousands of taka because of the exchange rate markup hidden inside the rate.
Rates change daily, and most services change rates mid-day. Always confirm the final quote inside the provider's app before sending.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to send money to Bangladesh?
It depends on the amount. For small, frequent transfers, digital-first services like Taptap Send and Remitly usually win. For larger amounts, lower-percentage services like Wise often come out ahead even after their slightly higher fixed fee. Use the calculator above with your real amount.
How long does a transfer to Bangladesh take?
Digital services typically deliver to bKash, Nagad or bank accounts within minutes to a few hours. Bank-to-bank transfers through traditional banks can take 2 to 5 business days.
Can money be sent to bKash or Nagad?
Yes. Taptap Send, Remitly and Western Union all support wallet delivery to bKash, and most support Nagad as well. Wallet delivery is usually as fast as a card deposit and often cheaper than bank transfer.
Is it cheaper to send to a bank account or a mobile wallet?
Mobile wallets (bKash, Nagad) usually have the lowest fees and fastest delivery for small amounts. Bank transfers can be better for very large amounts where the recipient wants the money in the bank anyway.
