Bangladesh Bank yesterday said the ceiling on fund transfers through internet banking would not be applicable for remittance.

Clients are allowed to transfer a maximum of Tk 10 lakh per day through internet banking.

The central bank also permitted clients to transfer Tk 3 lakh with a single transaction.

Bangladesh Bank significantly increased the transaction ceiling in June last year as a part of its efforts to boost digital banking.

However, it did not clarify the maximum ceiling on fund transfers through internet banking for remittance.

A central bank official said the latest notice clarified that such a ceiling would not be applicable for remitters.
