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.

Based on 532 comparisons across 7 amounts over the last 90 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.

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.
1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
We track 8 regulated companies offering money transfers from the UK to Bangladesh in real time.
We analyse the fees, exchange rates, deposit/withdrawal methods, and each goes through our internal review.
Most GBP/BDT pricing data comes directly from the providers. We collect the rest manually, run it through our comparison engine and label it in the table.
In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 209 comparisons across 7 amounts.
This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for GBP/BDT transfers. This is how we pick them:
Cheapest: the company that gets your recipient the most, after fees and the exchange rate. On a tie, live pricing from the company takes priority over the rates we collect by hand.
Fastest: the company with the shortest estimated delivery time once you’ve paid. On a tie, the one that pays out more takes priority.
