by / 27 Oct 2015

A Bureau de Change is a business where people can exchange one currency for another. it is a highly competitive business as you tend to find many operators in close range to each other and, as such, usually sell at similar prices.

Due to the fact that the rates of exchange at a Bureau de Change are usually only marginally higher than that offered by banks, most people prefer to patronize them other than going to banks. Also, because the transactions are pretty fast and hassle free.

While quite a lot of people get money wired to them from outside the country via Western Union and the like, the majority of people who patronize the Bureau de Changes are mostly those coming into the country looking to exchange their foreign currency to local currency, so as to be able to make transactions in the country, and those going outside the country who want to change local currency into the currency of the country they are traveling to.

While there are a lot of Bureau de changes in/around all major airports in Nigeria, we’re going to be having a look at the different locations we can get money changed in a hurry across some Nigerian cities.

These and many more can be found across Nigeria by the traveler in need of a quick change of currency. However, as with all walks of life, there are crooks in every profession. You can take the following precautions to safeguard your money to avoid being swindled/robbed

  1. Make sure you pick a shop in a well-populated area
  2. Inspect any money changed for you carefully to avoid walking away with fake currencies.
  3. After having verified the authenticity of the money given to you, on no account should you hand the money back to the trader for any reason(come along with your own suitcase/bag to carry the money away with).
  4. Do not flash huge sums of money in public.

  5. if it really is a huge sum of money, it might be better and safer to err on the side of caution and have your money changed in a banking hall instead.
