The street exchange rate of the taka, for businesses in Bangladesh
EMpulse publishes the rate people actually pay for dollars in Bangladesh, next to the official rate, so your finance team can see the gap.
Today's street rate of the taka
As of 2026-10-29, the street rate for the US dollar in Bangladesh is 122.8 BDT per USD, according to the EMpulse Street FX Index (5 sources, confidence high).
The task: pricing and paying in dollars when the official rate is not the rate you get
If you import goods, pay overseas suppliers, settle software bills or receive foreign income, the official taka rate often differs from what you pay or receive in practice. Budgets, quotes and reconciliations built on one rate alone can drift away from reality. You need a street rate you can check every day, with its premium over the official rate and its history, in a form your systems can read.
How the index helps
EMpulse shows the street BDT rate against the US dollar and USDT. Every figure carries a confidence class and the number of sources behind it, so you know how far to rely on it. The index is built from transaction-based market data and quotes from independent public market sources. Take it from the website or pull it into your own tools through the API with a free key, and move to Starter or Pro when you need more history and higher limits.

Questions
- What is the street rate?
- It is the rate at which people actually buy and sell dollars for taka outside official channels. EMpulse publishes it as an index and shows it beside the official rate.
- How do I know how much to trust a figure?
- Each figure shows a confidence class and the number of sources. A lower class or fewer sources means you should treat the figure with more care.
- Can I use the data in my own systems?
- Yes. Request a free API key and read the current rate and its history from your own tools. The plans below describe the limits and extra history.
- Is this financial advice?
- No. EMpulse is a data index. It shows rates and does not tell you when or whether to buy, sell or hold any currency.
