We track Western Union and MoneyGram and are working to add them to this corridor — we'd rather show nothing than an unverified rate.
“Mid-market” is the real rate banks trade at between themselves, before any markup — the fairest benchmark for what a transfer actually costs you. More terms, decoded →

About this corridor
What to watch when sending to Bangladesh
UK→Bangladesh has a clear gap between the best and worst provider on most days, and the same provider tends to lead for long stretches. Check today's ranking below rather than assuming last month's winner still pays the most.

Once fees and margin are included, Ria's effective rate sits about 0.29% below mid-market, which works out to roughly £2.88 of cost on £1,000.

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?
- In our last 30 days of quotes for £1,000, Ria paid out the most on 27 days (Remitly 3). Picking the worst provider instead of the best cost £12.72 on average. The leader can change, so check today's ranking above before you send.
- How long does a UK to Bangladesh bank transfer take?
- It depends on the provider, how you pay and the recipient's bank. Bank deposits often arrive the same day, and first transfers can take longer while identity checks are done. Plyna compares price, not speed, so check the delivery estimate on the provider's quote before you confirm.
- What fees are charged for UK to Bangladesh transfers?
- In our latest quotes for £1,000 to Bangladesh: Ria £0.00, Remitly £0.99, Wise £8.86 and WorldRemit £0.00. The fee is only part of the cost: each provider also sets its own exchange rate, so a £0 fee can still pay out less. That's why we rank by the amount that arrives.
- 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?
- On 11 November 2026, the most your recipient could get for £1,000 was ৳166,425 with Ria, and the least was ৳164,046 with WorldRemit. Over the last 30 days the gap averaged £12.72. Today's figures for every provider are in the comparison above.
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).
