Bangladesh Bank has raised the annual license renewal fee for money changers operating nationwide by 100 percent.
Under the new directive from the Foreign Exchange Policy Department-2, the non-refundable fee will increase to Tk 10,000 from the previous Tk 5,000, the central bank said in a circular issued Monday.
The fee hike will take effect on January 15, 2026.
Bangladesh Bank said all other procedures for license renewal remain unchanged.
The circular instructs authorised dealers and licensed money changers to notify their constituents of the change immediately.
