💡 Tips for getting the best rate
- • Compare 3–4 BDCs in Wuse Zone 4, Broad Street, or Allen Avenue before settling — rates can vary by ₦5–₦15 per unit.
- • Larger amounts ($5,000+) usually get better rates. Some BDCs reserve their best rates for repeat customers.
- • Avoid airport BDCs — they post rates 1–3% worse than city dealers.
- • Check rates twice on the same day — the parallel market moves hourly based on dollar supply.
- • Always count notes carefully and verify serial numbers. Counterfeit dollars are common in informal markets.
