30-day trend
▲ 0.9%It's up about 0.9% over the last month — the BDT buys a little less than it did.
What is the mid-market rate?
The mid-market rate is the “true” midpoint between the buy and sell price of a currency — the rate banks and providers see between themselves. It's the fairest reference point, but it's not the rate you'll actually get: every provider adds a margin and fees on top.
Think of it as the sticker price for Bangladeshi Taka. When you send money to Bangladesh, the rate you receive will be a little below this — and how much below is exactly what's worth comparing. Wasli shows you the mid-market number so you always have an honest baseline to judge any offer against.

Compare the rate and the fee together
A great-looking rate with a high fixed fee can still be a poor deal, especially on smaller amounts. Look at both, and measure each provider's rate against the mid-market number.

Common questions
How much is 1 AED in BDT today?+
The live mid-market AED to BDT rate is shown at the top of this page and updates through the day. That's the fair midpoint reference — the amount a provider actually gives you when sending money from the UAE to Bangladesh will be slightly lower once their margin and fees are added.
What is the cheapest way to send money from the UAE to Bangladesh?+
There's no single cheapest provider all the time — it changes with the rate and fees each one sets. The reliable method is to compare the exchange rate AND the transfer fee together against the mid-market rate shown here. The smaller the gap from mid-market, the better the deal.
Why is the AED to BDT rate I'm offered lower than the mid-market rate?+
Providers add a margin on top of the mid-market rate, plus any fixed fee. That difference is how they earn money on the transfer. Comparing that gap between providers is the clearest way to see who is genuinely cheapest.
Is now a good time to send money to Bangladesh?+
Rates move a little every day. The 30-day trend above shows the recent direction in plain terms. Small moves add up on larger transfers, so it can pay to check the trend before you send.
How long does a money transfer from the UAE to Bangladesh take?+
It depends on the provider and method — some transfers to Bangladesh arrive within minutes, others take a business day or two. Speed, rate, and fee all vary by provider, which is why it's worth comparing before you choose.
Does Wasli transfer my money to Bangladesh?+
No. Wasli helps you understand exchange rates and compare providers. You send through the provider you choose — Wasli never holds or moves your funds.
