About CBN
CBN updates this pair continuously, currently pricing 1 ZAR at about ₦81.18.
It charges ₦81.21 in Nigerian Naira to sell you South African Rand, and pays ₦81.15 when you sell South African Rand back. The ₦0.06 gap between those two prices is what a round trip costs before any fees CBN charges separately.
Monierate records CBN's ZAR/NGN price as a daily open, high, low and close, so the chart and table above show how it has moved rather than just where it stands today. To see whether it is competitive, compare it against every other provider quoting ZAR/NGN.
CBN may also charge swap, network or transfer fees inside its own app or API which are not part of the quoted rate. Everything here is for information purposes only — confirm the final amount with CBN before you trade.
