Sending money to friends and family in Bangladesh may come with an added benefit. The Government of Bangladesh offers a 2.5% incentive on eligible international money transfers, helping recipients get more value from the money you send.
This program supports families and encourages the use of safe and official ways to send money. When you send money to Bangladesh through an eligible service, the government may add an extra 2.5% to the amount your recipient gets.
How the 2.5% incentive works
When an eligible money transfer to Bangladesh is completed, the incentive may be applied automatically.
Here’s what that means:
- The sender sends the full amount as usual
- The government calculates an extra 2.5% based on the transfer amount
- That extra amount is added to what the recipient gets
The incentive does not change how much is paid or sent.
Eligible transfer options
The incentive may apply no matter how the money is received, including:
- Cash pickup
- Bank account transfer or deposit
- Mobile wallet
This gives senders and recipients the flexibility to choose the option that works best for them while still benefiting from the incentive.
