Why the SAR to BDT Rate Changes
The riyal is fixed to the US dollar at 3.75 SAR = 1 USD, so SAR to BDT follows the taka’s rate against the dollar.
The taka is managed by Bangladesh Bank and its dollar rate has been adjusted several times since 2022, so the SAR to BDT rate can move in noticeable steps. Check today’s figure before every transfer.
Best Ways to Send Money from Saudi Arabia to Bangladesh
- Bank transfer: send to a Bangladeshi bank account through your Saudi bank or an authorised remittance provider.
- bKash and Nagad: many providers can pay straight into these mobile wallets, which is convenient for families outside big cities.
- Use formal channels: Bangladesh pays a government cash incentive on remittances sent through banks and authorised channels (2.5% in recent years; confirm the current rate with your bank). Informal hundi transfers are illegal, get no incentive and leave you with no protection if the money goes missing.
How to Read the Rate You Are Offered
The rate on this page is the market rate. Banks and remittance apps in Saudi Arabia add a margin, usually around 0.5% to 2%, and some also charge a fixed fee. On SAR 1,000 at a rate of about 32.8, each 1% of margin costs your family roughly 328 taka. Divide the taka you are offered by the riyals you send: the closer that figure is to the market rate, the better the deal.
Tips to Get More taka for Your Riyals
- Compare the amount received, not just the headline rate: a better rate with a high fee can still lose.
- Send larger amounts less often if your provider charges a fixed fee per transfer.
- Double-check the recipient’s name and account or wallet number; a returned transfer can cost a fee and a worse rate the second time.
- Keep your receipt until the money arrives, for the reference number.
