Australia has a growing Bangladeshi community — over 50,000 Bangladeshis and Bangladeshi-Australians — primarily in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. AUD wires route from Australian banks via RITS to a USD correspondent, which forwards via SWIFT to Bangladeshi banks (Sonali Bank, Dutch-Bangla Bank, BRAC Bank, Islami Bank), settling via Bangladesh Bank RTGS. The AUD→USD→BDT conversion path means two FX stages. Australia lacks direct AUD–BDT correspondent relationships, so the USD intermediate step is standard. Bangladesh Bank requires documentation for inward remittances above BDT 50,000 equivalent. Bangladesh's bKash mobile money platform is integrated with many inward remittance flows from Australia.

Settlement path: RITS → Bangladesh Bank RTGS (BEFTN). Currency pair: AUD → BDT.
The three most common causes of delay on this corridor are: (1) Bangladesh Bank FX documentation for inward remittances above BDT thresholds, (2) AUD-to-BDT conversion requiring USD intermediate step at Australian banks, and (3) Limited direct AUD–BDT correspondent relationships requiring multiple hops.
If the payment has not arrived within 5 business days, ask your sending bank to file an MT199 payment enquiry citing the UETR and the holding bank's BIC shown on the Ohmyfin GPI tracker.
