Our remittance service is one of the quickest, easiest and safest ways to send money to Bangladesh. All it requires is a brief trip to one of our branches, either in London or Birmingham, or you can even do it over the phone.

We provide both English and Bengali speakers, making sure you’re looked after throughout the process. Our remittance service is incredibly safe and reliable, allowing you to put your mind at ease when it comes to trusting that your money is going exactly where you’re sending it.

It’s Quick and Straightforward

In previous years, it’s been something of a hassle sending money to Bangladesh, there’s been no single straightforward, reliable way to make sure that your money reaches its intended recipients, and it was fairly costly too.

Our remittances services are extremely straightforward and speedy by comparison. All you need is a form of ID and proof of address and income, and then to fill out two forms, and that’s basically all there is to it. You can be done and dusted quickly, with no fuss.

Our helpful staff are more than willing to explain and guide you through the process too, and there’s plenty of flexible options when it comes to actually getting it done.

Multiple, Flexible Options

When it comes to sending the remittance, you’re not limited to having to physically visit either our London or Birmingham branch, we can also deliver this service over the phone. This makes it infinitely more flexible for those customers not living near one of our branches.

Over the counter, you can send up to £5,000, and over the phone, you can send up to £4,000, but we don’t currently accept cash.

We’re also not limited to just speaking in English. Our customer service staff are fluent in Bengali, so we can put you at ease and help you get your transactions done quickly and without hassle.

Safe and Reliable

We understand that sometimes, it can be really nerve-wracking sending large sums of cash overseas, and that’s why we’ve worked to create a service that’s as safe and reliable as possible, allowing us to put your mind completely at ease.

With our thorough identification checking system, combined with a high-security system, we can guarantee that your money is reaching the intended recipient, as well as that, it can be in as little as 24 hours or next working day.

All you need to pick the money up in Bangladesh is proof of ID and the PIN number provided by Sonali Bank Ltd. Then it’s just a case of heading over to one of the bank branches in Bangladesh and receiving your money. There’s a service charge of £3 when picking up the cash at a ReadyCash facility.

Sonali Bangladesh (UK) Limited on 16th August 2022 took over the existing legal obligations of Sonali Bank (UK) Limited by virtue of section 81 (2) of the Companies Act 2006.

 Sonali Bank (UK) Limited closed all personal accounts on 31st December 2017. The balance remaining on the accounts was subsequently transferred to independent trustees appointed for that purpose, in accordance with the terms of a trust deed entered between SBUK and the trustees. This was communicated to customers at the time so as they could contact the Trustees to make applications for unclaimed funds.

 To allow former account holders more time to apply for unclaimed deposits from the Trustees, the Trust has been extended by a further 5 years until 20th February 2029.

 The trustees are Christine Bartlett and Nigel Heath Sinclair of Richard Long & Co, whose contact details are as follows:

 Christine Bartlett and Nigel Heath Sinclair

Richard Long & Co

Castlegate House

36 Castle Street

Hertford

Hertfordshire

SG14 1HH

 Telephone number: 01992 503372.

 Email: heath.sinclair@richardlong.co.uk (with a copy to enquiries@richardlong.co.uk)

  

If you wish to claim payment of amounts owed to you, the appropriate course will be to make a request for payment in writing to the trustees using the contact details above, rather than SBUK. When you contact the trustees in this way, you will be required to prove your identity in the same way as if you were withdrawing the funds from the Bank prior to 31st December 2017. 

 

Please note that funds transferred to the trustees, do not earn any interest as per the Trust arrangement.
