What to know about receiving money in Bangladesh

A government top-up that can exceed the transfer margin

Bangladesh pays a cash incentive on remittances arriving through formal banking and licensed transfer channels, introduced at 2% in 2019 and raised to 2.5% in 2022. It is added to what the recipient is paid, so it works in the opposite direction to a provider's margin, and at 2.5% it is larger than the spread many providers charge. It applies only to money sent through legal channels; cash carried by hand or sent informally does not qualify.

How and when the incentive is credited differs between banks and transfer operators, and documentation may be requested above certain amounts. Confirm the current rate and the conditions with the receiving bank before relying on it.

What these rates are

Each figure is the indicative rate published by Central Bank of Oman indicative exchange rates, reproduced unchanged. It is the reference point a transfer is priced against, not a quote: services add a fee and a margin on the rate, and the margin is usually the larger of the two. Every corridor page sets out both, with a worked example.
