## In short

- Three gateways work in TransferArc for Bangladesh: SSLCommerz (local) plus Stripe and Airwallex (international).
- Only SSLCommerz adds the mobile wallets: bKash, Nagad, Rocket and Upay.
- Stripe and Airwallex do not open accounts for companies registered in Bangladesh; they need an account held by an entity in a country they serve.
- PayPal is not available because PayPal does not accept BDT.

## How Bangladesh pays

- **Currency**: Bangladeshi taka (BDT)
- **Regulator**: Bangladesh Bank
- **Everyday methods**: Mobile wallets (MFS), cards, internet banking
- **Main airports**: Dhaka (DAC), Chattogram (CGP), Sylhet (ZYL)

Mobile financial services are the everyday way to pay in Bangladesh. bKash, Nagad, Rocket and Upay accounts are opened with a mobile number, so many customers who never use a card can still pay for a booking online.

Card use is concentrated among corporate clients and travellers, and companies often pay by internet banking. A Bangladeshi transfer operator needs both: wallets for walk-in and family customers, cards and banking for corporate and inbound travel.
