Official central rate vs what you’ll actually get

The AED/NGN rate above is the official central rate published by Central Bank of Nigeria official NFEM rate on 2026-10-30. It is the reference point, not a price you can transact at.

Why the amount received is lower

• Transfer fee. A flat charge, or a percentage, taken by the sending service.
• Exchange rate markup. Most services apply a spread to the reference rate. This is usually the larger cost and is often not shown as a fee.
• Receiving method. Bank deposit, mobile wallet and cash pickup can carry different rates and charges.
• Timing. Reference rates are published once per working day; a transfer is priced when it is executed.

What a markup costs

Illustration only, not a quote from any provider: at a 1.5% markup with a AED4.00 fee, sending AED2,000 delivers about ₦720,328 instead of the ₦732,763 the official central rate implies — a difference of ₦12,435.
