How do I compare money transfer companies when sending money to Bangladesh?
As with any product, you’ll find the best deal by shopping around. When you’re using our table to compare, keep the following in mind:
- Exchange rate and fees. Make sure you compare both. While one company might offer a great rate, it might charge higher fees. On the other hand, a company offering a poorer rate may have low or zero fees. Equally, some providers will waive fees if you’re transferring a larger amount.
- Pick up methods. Some transfer companies require that you transfer funds to the recipient’s bank account. Others give recipients the option of picking up cash, which can be particularly useful if the recipient does not have a bank account.
- Transfer methods. If you’re dealing with a mainstream bank you can visit a branch to transfer funds. Otherwise, depending on the service provider you choose, you can transfer funds over the phone, on an app, online, at stores or at specific kiosks.
- Transfer time. If the recipient needs money in a hurry, your best bet is to look for a service that allows cash pickups because this method normally takes no more than a day. Bank account transfers can take between one and five business days.
- Minimum transfer amounts. The minimum you can transfer can vary from one service provider to the next. While some may let you transfer as little as one Great Britain pound, some others have minimum limits as high as £1,000.
- Customer service. If you plan on transferring money to Bangladesh on an ongoing basis, you may want to look for a company that offers high levels of customer service, along with support via phone, chat and email.

I am from Bangladesh. I am still a student. I have some student account, but no business or personal account. One friend of mine from the UK wants to send me some money. How to do this? Is it possible to transfer money from the UK to Bangladesh by bKash? I have a bKash account under mom’s name. But most importantly, my friend is a UK citizen, a native English. Please, give me some suggestion.
Hi Tanjina,
Thanks for getting in touch with Finder. I hope all is well with you. :)
It is possible for your friend in the UK to send money to your bKash account provided that the money transfer service company he/she uses an authorized or partner company of bKash. As of this time, we don’t have a list of specific companies that are partnered with bKash. However, you can still ask your friend to use any of the companies listed above such as TransferWise and Azimo. Simply click on the “Go to site” green button and from there, your friend will know whether these companies can send through bKash.
Of course, you also have the option to use other means of receiving the money. That way, your sender would have other options when sending you money.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Joshua
I have A Bangladeshi local Bank account And Have SWIFT code But not have IBAN number,When i go to Bank and tell them to generate this IBAN number they told me,Its not possible to generate IBAN number in Bangladesh Bank account and also tell me that, no need to received money to abroad an IBAN number,They give me My Account number And Bank name adress and Bank SWIFT code.So Is it possible to received money in my that bank account to international wire transfer.Thank you.
If you are transferring funds to a Bangladeshi bank account, you’ll need to provide the recipient’s name, account number, the bank’s name and SWIFT code. If you refer to our page on sending money to Bangladesh you can get in touch with RationalFX or Azimo, who offer wire transfers to Bangladesh, to find out if you would need to provide an IBAN number or any further information.
I don’t bank account or VISA/ MASTER/ DBBL Nexus/ AMEX Card.Can i pay by cash or mobile phone?
Yes some providers allow you to make cash transfers. We would recommend you use either Western Union or MoneyGram to transfer cash to Bangladesh. Both these providers have cash pickup locations in Dhaka and Chittagong.
