How to compare transfer companies

Weigh costs and fees against convenience to find the best money transfer specialist for your needs:

• Exchange rates. Look for a provider that offers a strong rate with low markup on the mid-market rate. And note that your strongest rate may require a minimal transfer fee.
• Transfer fees. Most companies charge fees for the convenience of a money transfer. But many reduce fees or waive them altogether for larger amounts.
• Transfer method. Depending on the company, you may be able to initiate a transfer online, over the phone and by visiting a branch.
• Turnaround time. Some companies take up to five business days to process transfers, while others make funds available to your recipient within minutes for an additional fee.
• Pickup methods. Is the transaction managed completely online with funds delivered straight to your recipient’s bank account, or can they visit an agent location and pick up cash in person?
• Minimum transfer amounts. Make sure the amount you’re sending is supported by the companies you compare.
• Customer service options. Are phone and email customer support available? Can you reach out for help through online live chat? Also check when these services are available to make sure you can access help whenever you need it.

Options for sending money to Bangladesh from Ireland

Depending on the transfer specialist you choose, you may be able to send money for delivery by:

• Bank transfer. Some banks in Ireland may allow you to send money from your bank account to an account in Bangladesh.
• Digital transfer specialist. Online providers like Wise, WorldRemit and OFX can send money quickly and easily.
• Cash pickups. Providers like MoneyGram and Western Union allow you to send funds online, over the phone or from an agent location. Those funds can then be picked up as cash from an agent in Bangladesh.

Tips for picking up cash

Advise your recipients to practice caution when picking up cash:

• Keep your money hidden until safely deposited in a bank account.
• Avoid questionable parts of town when carrying cash.
• Bring a friend along to provide an extra set of eyes, especially if you’re picking up a large number of takas.

Emergency cash transfers

Some situations in life require sending money quickly. For emergency transfers, expect to pay a fee extra to expedite delivery. Confirm the exchange rate and fees you’ll pay to avoid unpleasant surprises.
