Money and Payments in Bangladesh for Visitors

The currency is the Bangladeshi taka (BDT). Cash is common for small purchases, while hotels and larger shops may accept other methods.

Cash

Carry small notes for rickshaws and street food. Exchange money through authorised channels only.

Cards and mobile banking

Many hotels and shops accept cards, and mobile banking services such as bKash, Nagad and Rocket are widely used locally. Ask each place which payment methods it accepts.

Keep records

Get a receipt for large payments and a written confirmation of hotel deposits. See hotel booking tips.

Protect your money

Use ATMs in secure places, avoid showing large amounts of cash and tell your bank before travelling.
