The empirical findings show that the remittance determinants (migrant age, marital status and number of visits; household head age, marital status and employment status) and impacts (saving and investment patterns) vary from religion to religion at the same community level of the households. The study suggests that the strong religious differences in the remittance behaviour of Bangladeshi households and highlights the importance of differentiating religious backgrounds when analysing the determinants of remittances
