Foreign exchange rates are not fixed and can change at any time in response to movements in international currency markets, changes in supply and demand and broader economic developments. The rate available to customers may also differ between banks, authorised money changers and other financial institutions because of transaction margins and applicable charges.
People sending remittances to Bangladesh, as well as businesses involved in imports, exports and other international transactions, should therefore check the latest applicable rate with their relevant financial institution before completing a currency exchange or transfer.
