Questions from NRBs
Can I really take all my money back abroad?
Yes. Through the NITA route with a custodian bank, you can repatriate 100% of your capital, dividends and profits, subject to applicable taxes and Bangladesh Bank regulations. Your custodian bank arranges the repatriation.
What is a NITA?
A Non-resident Investor’s Taka Account — the cash account, opened with your custodian bank, used for trading in the secondary market and receiving dividends and sale proceeds.
Can I apply for IPOs as an NRB?
Yes. NRBs can apply for IPOs, including NRB quotas, using funds in their FC account. Secondary-market trading is done through your NITA.
Do I need to visit Bangladesh to open an account?
No. Our team will guide you through the forms and documents remotely. Documents signed abroad may need attestation by the Bangladesh Embassy or High Commission.
What does it cost?
BO account opening is ৳150, one-time. The only brokerage fee is the trading commission — a maximum of 0.50% of trade value. Custodian charges are set by your custodian bank.
Can someone in Bangladesh manage my account?
Yes. You can appoint a Power of Attorney to operate your account while you live abroad.
