At Small World, we work hard to establish and maintain strong business partnerships with banks and other money transfer companies around the world. These relationships help us provide an even better service to our customers and their family, friends and loved ones.
Our relationship with Dutch-Bangla Bank is a great example of this. Due to this, we have put a new processing system in place, which will speed up money transfer to Bangladesh for certain delivery methods.

What is the new agreement between Dutch-Bangla Bank and Small World? Dutch-Bangla Bank are well established in Bangladesh and have been doing so for 25 years. They have 195 branches, offer the largest network of ATM’s and a vast network of agents in the country.
Like Small World, the bank is working to enable more people than ever — especially those in rural populations — to access these financial services, which are typically reserved for those living in, or close to, towns and cities.
