UAE-based Bangladeshi workers can send AED directly to a recipient's Nagad wallet via licensed providers — no bank account required.

What is Nagad?
Nagad is a digital financial service operated by Third Wave Technologies Limited in a public-private partnership with Bangladesh Post Office, regulated by Bangladesh Bank. Launched in 2019, Nagad has grown rapidly as a competitor to bKash, offering mobile wallet services including money transfers, bill payments, and receiving international remittances — all via mobile phone without a bank account.
The government backing through Bangladesh Post Office gives Nagad an extensive physical presence across Bangladesh via post office networks, which can be useful for recipients in rural areas. For Bangladeshi workers in the UAE, Nagad provides an alternative payout channel if their family members use Nagad rather than bKash.
