Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Australian Dollar to Bangladeshi Taka exchange rate?
The AUD to BDT exchange rate typically ranges between 68-82 BDT per 1 AUD. Australia has a significant Bangladeshi community (60,000+), particularly in Sydney and Melbourne, making AUD/BDT an important Australian remittance corridor. Bangladesh Bank manages a crawling peg allowing gradual taka depreciation. Bangladesh receives substantial remittances from Australia ($300M+ annually). Many Bangladeshi-Australians work in hospitality, retail, IT, and run small businesses. Our converter shows real-time mid-market rates updated every 30 minutes from OpenExchangeRates.
How can Bangladeshis in Australia send money to Bangladesh?
Bangladeshi-Australians have excellent options: Remitly (popular Australia-Bangladesh corridor, fast bank/mobile), Wise (competitive mid-market rates), OFX (Australian company for larger amounts), WorldRemit, MoneyGram or Western Union (extensive agent network); mobile money (bKash, Rocket, Nagad increasingly popular—instant delivery); Australia-Bangladesh specialized services; or bank transfers to BRAC Bank, Dutch-Bangla, Islami Bank. For communities in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane sending to Dhaka, Sylhet, or Chittagong, mobile money offers instant delivery—compare total BDT received.
Why does the Australian dollar buy so many taka?
AUD strength (1 AUD ≈ 72-82 BDT) reflects: Australia's developed economy vs Bangladesh's developing status, Australian dollar's commodity backing (iron ore, coal, LNG exports to Asia), Bangladesh's trade deficit and moderate inflation, and gradual taka depreciation policy. For Bangladeshi-Australians (restaurant owners, taxi drivers, IT professionals, retail workers in Sydney/Melbourne), the strong Aussie dollar provides excellent remittance value—your dollars support families substantially. Bangladesh's garment export boom helps but hasn't closed the currency gap.
Do Australian banks give good rates for Bangladesh transfers?
No. Australian banks charge 3-5% above mid-market plus $20-35 fees—expensive for regular family remittances. CommBank, Westpac, ANZ, and NAB all offer poor rates. Specialized Australia-Bangladesh services are far better: Remitly charges 1-3%, Wise 0.5-1%, OFX 1-2%, mobile money services minimal fees. For the 60,000+ Bangladeshi-Australian community, specialized services save 50-70% versus big four banks. Most send monthly support to families in Sylhet, Dhaka, or Chittagong, so savings are substantial over time.
When is the best time to send Australian dollars to Bangladesh?
The taka gradually weakens, so dramatic timing opportunities are limited. For regular monthly family support (very common in Bangladeshi-Australian community), consistent transfers work well. For large transfers (property in Dhaka/Sylhet, wedding expenses, business investment in Bangladesh), watch: Bangladesh Bank policy, inflation reports, Australian economic data (affects AUD), and forex reserve levels. Send when AUD/BDT is higher (taka weaker) to maximize taka received. Rate alert apps help track favorable movements for major transfers back home.
