Send Money to Bangladesh from Norway (2026)

Sending Money from Norway to Bangladesh

Norway has a well-established Bangladeshi community, predominantly in Oslo. The Norwegian krone (NOK) to BDT corridor is supported by major international transfer services. Norway's strong banking infrastructure means senders benefit from fast, low-cost local bank transfers to fund their remittance apps.

Best Providers from Norway

These services are available in Norway for Bangladesh transfers:

• ✓Wise — available in Norway, excellent NOK/BDT rate. Fund via Norwegian bank transfer.
• ✓Remitly — available from Norway with Express and Economy options.
• ✓WorldRemit — available in Norway, bKash and bank delivery.
• ✓TapTap Send — available from Norway, zero fees.
• ✓Western Union — agents available across Norway for in-person senders.

NOK to BDT Exchange Rate

The Norwegian krone to Bangladeshi taka mid-market rate is approximately 11–13 BDT per NOK as of April 2026. Wise offers the closest to the mid-market rate. TapTap Send and Remitly are close behind. Norwegian banks charge 3–5% markup on top of wire fees — avoid for regular remittances.

bKash from Norway

Wise, TapTap Send, Remitly, and WorldRemit all support bKash delivery from Norway. Enter the recipient's bKash phone number and funds typically arrive within minutes to hours — far faster than a bank transfer to Norway.

Bangladesh 2.5% Government Incentive

All formal remittances from Norway automatically earn the Bangladesh government's 2.5% cash incentive. This applies to transfers through Wise, Remitly, TapTap Send, WorldRemit, and Western Union. Recipients get 2.5% extra in BDT on top of the amount transferred.

Tips for Norwegian Bangladeshis

Norway-specific advice:

• ✓Fund Wise via Norwegian bank transfer (BankAxept/Vipps-linked account) to minimise costs.
• ✓TapTap Send is growing in popularity among Bangladeshis in Scandinavia.
• ✓Avoid DNB, Nordea, or SpareBank international wire for Bangladesh — expensive.
• ✓Compare rates on Beshii before every transfer — NOK/BDT fluctuates with oil prices.
• ✓Remitly Express is useful for urgent transfers to bKash.
