Send Money to Bangladesh from Italy (2026)

Italy to Bangladesh: A Major Remittance Corridor

Italy has one of the largest Bangladeshi diaspora communities in Europe — estimated at over 120,000 people, concentrated in Rome, Milan, Naples, and Palermo. Remittances from Italy to Bangladesh are significant, and the corridor is well-served by major international transfer services. Italy uses the euro, so senders use the EUR to BDT exchange rate.

EUR to BDT Exchange Rate from Italy

The EUR/BDT rate for Italy-to-Bangladesh transfers is the same as for any eurozone country. As of April 2026, the mid-market rate is approximately 115–125 BDT per euro. What varies is the margin each provider adds. Wise adds 0% to the rate (charges a small fee instead), while banks and in-person agents typically add 3–5%.

How to Send from Italy: Step by Step

To send money from Italy to Bangladesh:

• ✓1. Sign up with Wise, Remitly, or TapTap Send (takes 5–10 minutes with ID)
• ✓2. Enter the amount in euros you want to send
• ✓3. Enter your recipient's details (name, bank account, or bKash number)
• ✓4. Fund the transfer via Italian bank transfer (SEPA — free) or debit card
• ✓5. Money arrives in Bangladesh within minutes (bKash) or 1–3 days (bank)

Sending to bKash from Italy

bKash is widely supported for Italy to Bangladesh transfers. Wise, Remitly, WorldRemit, and TapTap Send all support bKash delivery. You only need the recipient's bKash mobile number — no bank account needed. Delivery to bKash typically takes minutes to a few hours from the time the transfer is initiated.

Postepay and Italian Payment Methods

Many Bangladeshi workers in Italy use Postepay (Italian prepaid debit card) rather than a traditional bank account. Wise, Remitly, and WorldRemit accept Visa and Mastercard debit cards including Postepay for payments. Note that card payments cost slightly more in fees than SEPA bank transfers.

Bangladesh 2.5% Government Cash Incentive

All transfers from Italy to Bangladesh through regulated services automatically earn the Bangladesh government's 2.5% cash incentive for the recipient. Your recipient gets 2.5% extra in BDT on top of the transferred amount. This applies to all major services — Wise, Remitly, TapTap Send, WorldRemit, and Western Union.

Tips for Italian Bangladeshis Sending Money Home
