Send Money to Bangladesh from Ireland (2026)

Updated 10 April 2026

Sending Money from Ireland to Bangladesh

Ireland's Bangladeshi diaspora — largely concentrated in Dublin, Cork, and Galway — has grown significantly over the past decade. Ireland uses the euro, and the EUR to BDT corridor is well-served by major transfer services, though slightly fewer providers offer Irish coverage compared to the UK.

  • Wise — available in Ireland, excellent EUR to BDT rate with mid-market pricing
  • Remitly — available in Ireland with Express and Economy options
  • WorldRemit — strong Irish presence, bKash and bank delivery
  • Western Union — available in Ireland with agent locations and online
  • TapTap Send — available from Ireland with zero fees

EUR to BDT: Current Exchange Rate

The euro to Bangladeshi taka rate as of April 2026 is approximately 115–125 BDT per euro (mid-market). Providers add a margin on top:

  • Wise: Closest to mid-market EUR/BDT with small fee
  • TapTap Send: Zero fees, competitive daily EUR/BDT rate
  • Remitly: Competitive, especially for first transfers
  • WorldRemit: Moderate rate, decent value
  • Bank wire from Irish bank: Worst option — high fee plus 3–5% rate markup

Fastest Way to Send Money from Ireland to Bangladesh

For urgent transfers from Ireland to Bangladesh:

  • Remitly Express: bKash delivery within minutes
  • TapTap Send: bKash and Nagad within minutes to hours
  • WorldRemit: Mobile money within minutes, bank 2–4 days
  • Western Union: Cash pickup within minutes at Irish agent locations
  • Wise: Hours to bKash/Nagad, 1–2 days to bank account

bKash from Ireland: Is It Supported?

Yes — TapTap Send, Remitly, Wise, and WorldRemit all support bKash delivery from Ireland. You need your recipient's bKash-registered phone number. EUR deposits to bKash typically convert at competitive rates and arrive within minutes to a few hours.

Bangladesh 2.5% Incentive for Irish Senders

The Bangladesh government's 2.5% cash incentive applies to all regulated remittances from Ireland, including euro transfers. The bonus is automatically added to your recipient's bank account or mobile wallet. This applies to transfers through Wise, Remitly, TapTap Send, WorldRemit, and all other regulated services.

Tips for Sending from Ireland

Ireland-specific advice for Bangladesh remittances:

  • Use SEPA bank transfer (free within EU/Ireland) to fund your Wise or Remitly account — avoids card fees
  • Compare Beshii before every transfer — EUR/BDT rates fluctuate
  • TapTap Send is available from Ireland and has grown in popularity with diaspora communities
  • For very large transfers, Wise supports larger limits than most mobile-first apps
  • Avoid AIB, Bank of Ireland, or Ulster Bank for international transfers — fees and rates are poor
  • WorldRemit's first 3 free transfers are a good way to trial the service
