One board, every currency
155 currencies, each quoted as the mid-market price of one unit in naira. The five Nigerians ask for most, USD, EUR, GBP, AED, CAD, sit on the home page as bands you can flip.
A converter that answers as you type
Pick any two currencies and an amount. Where no direct pair exists the rate is derived through the naira, since everything on the board is quoted against it.
The news beside the rate
A Nigerian newspapers section, published from our newsroom, so the stories that move the naira sit next to the figure they move.
Nothing added on top
We publish the mid-market rate and say so. Banks, transfer apps and street traders quote a spread either side of it; what you see here is the midpoint, for information only.
