About AbokiFx

AbokiFx is an independent Nigerian foreign exchange rate tracker. We publish live black market Bureau de Change (BDC) rates and official Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) rates for the US Dollar, British Pound, Euro, and seven other currencies every 30 minutes.

What we do

Nigeria operates two parallel foreign exchange markets. The official NAFEM window, administered by the Central Bank of Nigeria, provides dollars at regulated prices for priority transactions like tuition payments and approved imports. The parallel market, run by licensed BDC operators across Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and other cities, serves everyone else at freely determined rates.

AbokiFx tracks both markets. Our parallel rates are aggregated from BDC sources across major Nigerian cities and updated every 30 minutes. Our official rates come directly from the CBN's published data.

Who we serve

We built AbokiFx for Nigerians who need to know the real exchange rate before they act. Students calculating school fees. Importers pricing goods. Families receiving remittances from abroad. Travelers budgeting for a trip. Anyone who needs to know what a dollar costs in naira right now, not what the official rate says.

Data accuracy

Our rates are sourced from multiple BDC aggregators and cross-validated against CBN published rates every cycle. Rates are benchmarks. Your actual BDC rate may vary by ₦5 to ₦20 depending on your location, transaction size, and the condition of your currency notes. Always confirm with a licensed BDC before transacting.

Independence

AbokiFx is independently operated. We have no affiliation with the Central Bank of Nigeria, any Bureau de Change operator, or any financial institution. We do not provide financial advice. All rates are published for informational purposes only.
