“Mid-market” is the real rate banks trade at between themselves, before any markup — the fairest benchmark for what a transfer actually costs you.

About this corridor
What to watch when sending to Bangladesh
UK→Bangladesh has a wide spread between best and worst — over 3% of margin between providers on the same day isn't unusual. WorldRemit consistently sits below mid-market here.

Is it safe to send money to Bangladesh?
Yes — the major providers we compare, including Wise, Remitly and WorldRemit, are established, FCA-authorised money-transfer firms that move money to Bangladesh every day. Plyna is an independent comparison service and doesn't handle your transfer; we simply show what each provider gives your recipient. Always start your transfer on the provider's own site or app and confirm the final rate and fee there. See our methodology for exactly how we collect and rank these figures.

Common questions
Sending money from UK to Bangladesh
- Which provider is cheapest for sending money from the UK to Bangladesh?
- The spread between providers on UK-Bangladesh is among the widest of any corridor we track — over 3% margin difference between best and worst is common. Wise and Remitly tend to rank highest. WorldRemit consistently charges above-average margin here. Check today's comparison to see who leads.
- How long does a UK to Bangladesh bank transfer take?
- Wise and Remitly typically deliver to Bangladeshi bank accounts (Dutch-Bangla, BRAC, Islami Bank etc.) within a few hours. Transfers using the Bangladesh Bank's BEFTN interbank system can take up to 1 business day. MoneyGram offers cash pickup at locations throughout Bangladesh.
- What fees are charged for UK to Bangladesh transfers?
- Wise charges a percentage-based fee (around 0.5–0.7% on this corridor). Remitly charges a flat fee. WorldRemit's fees may appear low but their exchange rate margin is higher than most competitors — making them uncompetitive in total cost on this corridor.
- What is the mid-market GBP to BDT rate?
- The BDT is managed by Bangladesh Bank and moves gradually against major currencies. The mid-market rate is the true interbank benchmark. Plyna compares every provider's quoted rate against mid-market at the time of collection, showing the hidden margin clearly.
- How much BDT does my recipient get when I send £1,000 to Bangladesh?
- The gap between best and worst regularly exceeds ৳3,500 on a £1,000 transfer. That difference compounds significantly for regular senders. Today's exact figures are in our current UK-Bangladesh comparison, updated each morning.
How we collect this data
Real quotes. Dated snapshots. Nothing modelled.
Every figure on this page traces back to an actual quote pulled from the provider's own rate calculator on a specific day. The exchange rate is compared against the true mid-market rate at the time of collection, exposing any hidden margin baked into the quoted rate. Recipient amounts are calculated as (£1,000 − fee) × rate × (1 − margin).
