How to send money from UK to Bangladesh

Pick a company

For a one-off GBP transfer to Bangladesh, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Xe.

Xe was the cheapest on 1 of the 25 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Bangladesh.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Xe delivers the most BDT.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/BDT rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 3 ways to pay, including debit card, bank transfer, and credit card.

Paying from your bank is usually the fastest, since most companies connect to your banking app via Open Banking.

Anywhere a debit card works, Apple Pay and Google Pay usually do too.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need to confirm your name, date of birth, address and a photo ID.

On a £6,000 transfer the verification is normally instant but can take a couple of hours.

Compare amounts

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send £6,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what £6,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.

The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.

When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more BDT per GBP than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 14 of the last 30 days.

Right now, Xe pays 999,258.60 BDT on 6,000 GBP, which is 912.86 BDT less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 1,007,893.67 BDT.

If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Bangladesh.

We've tracked 209 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

  1. WorldRemitAppeared in 94 comparisons

    Cheapest in 7% of them

  2. SendwaveAppeared in 92 comparisons

    Cheapest in 18% of them

  3. MoneyGramAppeared in 176 comparisons

    Cheapest in 32% of them

Based on 209 comparisons across 7 amounts over the last 30 days.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.

To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today Xe is the cheapest and gets you the most BDT, but it was the cheapest in only 7% of the 168 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

TapTap Send (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 0% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Bangladesh.

If it's a one-off transfer, go with Xe, since it's the cheapest right now.

Ways to send money from the UK to Bangladesh

There are many ways to send money to Bangladesh from the UK, including app, online, currency broker, multi-currency account, global business account, and in person, and more.

For small & frequent transfers

Money transfer apps

If you send small amounts back home to Bangladesh, say weekly or monthly, an app like Xe is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.

It charges £0 in fees, has 0.09% markup, lets you save recipient details, and BDT will arrive in minutes.

Over the past month, Xe was the cheapest app on 4% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.

For one off transfers

Online transfers

Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized BDT transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.

Online companies like Xe often have higher limits and/or first time promos.

Of the 8 companies we compared, Xe is the cheapest online service and will get you ৳999,258.60 on a £6,000 transfer.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 1 of the 25 days it quoted.

For large transfers

Brokers

Currency brokers like Xe are the best for £10,000+ transfers (things like house deposits, education fees, relocation, etc.).

You get a dedicated account manager to handle your transfer to Bangladesh, and real human support.

Xe charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.09% markup on top of the current GBP/BDT rate.

The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .

Our analysis shows Xe was the cheapest broker in 38% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.

For spending and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Taka abroad like a local.

Revolut offers the best multi-currency account.

With it, converting £6,000 to BDT will get you ৳991,113.76 after fees.

If you don’t have BDT in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Revolut in Bangladesh.

Once you have BDT in the account, there are no extra fees from Revolut for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).

Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 13% of days.

For business transfers

Global accounts

Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.

For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Bangladesh, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.

Consider this when sending GBP to Bangladesh

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Bangladesh such as limits, taxes, and safety.

Compare GBP/BDT transfer options

Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Bangladesh:

Cheapest way to send money to Bangladesh

The cheapest way is to use Xe, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get ৳999,258.60, which is 0.18% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Bangladesh

The fastest way is to use TapTap Send via debit card deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get ৳997,500 and it will arrive in minutes.

UK transfer limits

There is no legal limit and no tax on sending your own money abroad.

Main hard limits come from your bank or money transfer company, often around £10,000 to £25,000 online (which you can usually increase in the app).

Also, the "£10,000 declaration" only applies to physically carrying cash through the border, not online transfers.

And on bigger GBP/BDT transfers (roughly £10,000 up) expect a source-of-funds check, such as a payslip or a statement.

These are anti-money-laundering checks, and they can hold your transfer up, so have the documents ready.

The transfer costs involved

Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.

For example, sending £6,000 with Xe will get you 999,258.60 BDT, that’s including £0 fee and 0.09% in exchange rate markup.

Taxes on money transfers

There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Bangladesh.

And, regular gifts from your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, with no cap and no seven-year wait, as long as you can still cover your usual living costs.

Staying safe when sending abroad

Only ever use a provider authorised by the FCA, which you can check on the FCA register in under a minute.

The rules in place for any scams cover domestic pound transfers only, on a transfer abroad you're less protected.

Always confirm who you're really sending to before you send, because there's little recourse after.
