DHAKA, Jan 12, 2026 (BSS) – Bangladesh Bank (BB) has enhanced the annual license renewal fee for Money Changers (MCs) across the country to Taka 10,000.

“It has now been decided to enhance the said fee to Taka 10,000,” said BB in a circular issued today. 

This non-refundable fee was previously set at Taka 5,000, a rate that had remained unchanged since instructions were first issued on February 19, 2002.

The central bank has directed all Authorized Dealers and Licensed Money Changers to take note of the new structure, which is scheduled to come into effect on January 15, 2026. 

The circular, signed by Director Monoar Uddin Ahmed, clarified that while the fee amount has changed, all other instructions regarding the renewal process will remain unchanged.
