FAQ
+What is today's USD to NGN rate?
The live USD to NGN rate shown above is the official interbank rate published by the Central Bank of Nigeria from the NAFEM/NFEM window. CBN updates it each business day and we republish it here shortly after release.
+Where do the naira rates come from?
Directly from the Central Bank of Nigeria's daily official exchange-rate publication for the NAFEM/NFEM window. We mirror the CBN figure exactly, with no spread applied.
+Is this the official CBN rate or the parallel (black-market) rate?
This is strictly the official Central Bank of Nigeria interbank rate. AfriRate does not publish parallel-market, street, or aboki rates, which differ from the official rate quoted here.
