Indicative rate vs what you’ll actually get

The SAR/BDT rate above is the indicative rate published by Central Bank of Oman indicative exchange rates on 2026-11-01. It is the reference point, not a price you can transact at.

Why the amount received is lower

• Transfer fee. A flat charge, or a percentage, taken by the sending service.
• Exchange rate markup. Most services apply a spread to the reference rate. This is usually the larger cost and is often not shown as a fee.
• Receiving method. Bank deposit, mobile wallet and cash pickup can carry different rates and charges.
• Timing. Reference rates are published once per working day; a transfer is priced when it is executed.

What a markup costs

Illustration only, not a quote from any provider: at a 1.5% markup with a SAR4.00 fee, sending SAR5,000 delivers about ৳1,62,795 instead of the ৳1,65,406 the indicative rate implies — a difference of ৳2,611.
