Send money from Nigeria to Bangladesh
For senders in Lagos and Abuja, the Dhaka side matters most. African traders buy garments and generic pharmaceuticals from Dhaka, and African businesses hire Bangladeshi freelancers. From Lagos, that means NGN turned into taka at a rate you can see, landing in Dhaka the same day.

The Nigeria to Bangladesh corridor, explained
From Abuja to Dhaka. African traders buy garments and generic pharmaceuticals from Dhaka, and African businesses hire Bangladeshi freelancers.
Nigerians top up in naira by bank transfer from GTBank, Access, Zenith, UBA or any other Nigerian bank, and the balance usually shows within minutes. Anyone paid in dollars by a foreign client can send from that USD balance and skip the naira leg. Grey then shows the NGN to BDT rate and fee as two separate numbers and delivers to BRAC Bank or any other bank in Bangladesh. The recipient doesn't need Grey.
How sending to Bangladesh works
Sign up
You'll need a NIN slip, BVN or international passport and about five minutes. Once verified, Bangladesh is one of 80+ destinations you can add. Grey works with licensed partners in Nigeria and is registered with the CBN.
Fund
Top up: naira in by bank transfer from any Nigerian bank, BDT out to Dhaka. The top-up usually clears in minutes.
Send
Copy the recipient's bank, branch and account number from their statement. Grey quotes NGN to BDT and shows the taka before you confirm.
What a transfer to Bangladesh actually costs
Grey prices the transfer once, in Lagos. You see the rate, you see the fee, and the BDT amount that lands at BRAC Bank is the one you agreed to.
No re-pricing after you tap send
Rate fixed at confirmation, BDT amount shown before you send, nothing adjusted after. That's the whole promise from Lagos to Dhaka.
On a route where the destination currency moves, it's the reason to use a service at all.
Why this corridor gets overlooked
Bangladeshi freelancers and small suppliers are used to being paid in dollars and losing a margin to their bank. Paying in taka, at a rate they can check, marks you out as a client worth keeping. From Abuja, Grey turns that into a quoted NGN to BDT rate and a BDT deposit at BRAC Bank, same as any local transfer.
Delivered like a local payment
Delivery is to the bank account, in BDT, as a domestic credit. That covers Sonali Bank, BRAC Bank, Dutch-Bangla Bank, Islami Bank, City Bank and every other bank in Bangladesh. Nothing for the recipient to do, and a settlement record for you in Lagos.
Straight to the account
No cash pickup, no agent, no collection code. BDT into the bank.
One recipient, many payments
Save the Dhaka recipient once and reuse the details.
