Istanbul to Dhaka, in one conversion
Bangladeshi workers across the Middle East send home constantly, and Middle Eastern buyers source garments from Dhaka. For senders in Istanbul, the practical question is simple: how much lands, and when.
Grey answers both before you confirm. USD converts to BDT once, the fee is shown separately, and the money reaches Sonali Bank, BRAC Bank, Dutch-Bangla Bank, Islami Bank, City Bank as a normal deposit. Turkish exporters and freelancers receive USD into Grey from foreign buyers and clients. Sending from that balance avoids the lira leg entirely.
How sending to Bangladesh works
Sign up
A passport or kimlik and a few minutes in Istanbul. Your account arrives with dollar, euro and pound details for receiving money from abroad. Grey works with licensed partners serving Türkiye.
Fund
Grey doesn't take local deposits in Türkiye. Fund with USD, EUR or GBP received into your Grey account from an employer, clients or family abroad.
Send
Copy the recipient's bank, branch and account number from their statement. Grey quotes USD to BDT and shows the taka before you confirm.
The real price of taka from Türkiye
One conversion, USD to BDT, with the rate and fee disclosed before you send from Istanbul. 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.
Locked at confirmation
A rate that holds means you can promise someone in Dhaka an exact BDT figure and know it will arrive. 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.
Grey fixes USD to BDT at the tap, every time, from Istanbul or anywhere else in Türkiye.
Why domestic delivery matters in Bangladesh
Anyone in Istanbul who has wired money to Dhaka the old way knows the feeling of not knowing what landed. 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.
Arriving in Bangladesh
A standard BDT deposit into an account at BRAC Bank or any other bank in Bangladesh. It appears as a local transfer on their statement. No Grey account needed on their side, only on yours in Istanbul.

What Grey does differently on this route
Between Istanbul and Dhaka, the problem is well known. 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. Grey's fixed rate and visible fee exist so nothing about the transfer from Istanbul is left to chance.
