What you get
Today’s rate, large and clear
Choose your country once. One riyal, dirham, dinar, ringgit, pound, euro or dollar in taka, with how it moved since yesterday, for more than 40 countries.
Is today a good day?
Today’s rate against the last month in three plain steps: low, average, good. It only compares past days; it is not advice or a forecast.
What the family gets
Enter what you send, the fee and your exchange house’s rate. The 2.5% government incentive on legal remittances is shown separately. Or enter what the family needs and see what to send.
Alerts and a widget
Be told when the rate reaches your target, get today’s rate once a day if you wish, and keep the rate on your home screen.
Money sent home
A simple log of what you sent and when, with monthly and yearly totals and a goal. It stays on your phone.
Help when you need it
The Probash Bondhu call-centre number, your country’s emergency numbers and the web addresses of Bangladesh missions.
Checklists and travel
Passport renewal, iqama and visa matters, travelling home, and baggage and customs basics.
Useful phrases
Everyday Arabic, Malay and English with the sound written in Bangla letters and audio to listen to.
Information only
Rate Koto is an independent information app. It does not send, receive or hold money, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government body, bank, exchange house or money-transfer company.
Rates are indicative market rates from Frankfurter, which publishes central-bank reference rates, and change once a day. The rate at a bank or exchange house will differ, so check their rate before you send money.
There is no account. Your country, alerts and money log stay on your phone, and the app works offline with the last rates it downloaded.
