Questions
- Which provider gives the most taka for £1,000 today?
- Xe: ৳163,926.20 for £1,000 sent (rate 163.9262, fee £0.00), checked 17 Oct 2026, 11:30 UTC.
- What is the mid-market rate?
- It is the midpoint between buying and selling prices in the wholesale market, with no margin added. We use Bangladesh Bank's published USD/BDT weighted average rate and convert it with a daily USD cross rate. No provider sells at exactly this rate; it is a yardstick for how much each one keeps.
- Why do I receive less than at the mid-market rate?
- Providers earn from an upfront fee, from the gap between their exchange rate and the mid-market rate, or both. The margin column combines the two: it compares what arrives with what the mid-market rate would deliver for the same total payment.
- How often are these rates updated?
- Once a day at 03:00 UTC. If a provider cannot be reached, we show its previous quote with a Stale badge instead of hiding it.
- Does the government of Bangladesh add anything on top?
- Remittances sent through formal channels can qualify for a government cash incentive paid to the recipient in Bangladesh. It is not included in the amounts above. See the government incentive page for the current rules. Government incentive
