It charges ₦81.93 in Nigerian Naira to sell you South African Rand, and pays ₦81.87 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.

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.
