Convert NZD to BND Exchange Rate

BND is the currency code for the Brunei Dollar, Brunei Darussalam's official currency. The symbol is "$" or "B$".

One Brunei Dollar divides into 100 sen (cents). The Brunei Dollar has been the official currency since 1967, when it replaced the Malaya and British Borneo dollar.

The Brunei Dollar is pegged 1:1 to the Singapore Dollar under a Currency Interchangeability Agreement, making both currencies interchangeable throughout Brunei at equal value.

Important: Brunei has a unique Currency Interchangeability Agreement with Singapore, meaning both the Brunei Dollar (BND) and Singapore Dollar (SGD) are accepted throughout Brunei at a 1:1 exchange rate. This makes currency management incredibly convenient for travelers visiting both countries.

Yes, absolutely. Singapore Dollars (SGD) are fully accepted throughout Brunei at a 1:1 exchange rate with the Brunei Dollar.

Thanks to the Currency Interchangeability Agreement between Brunei and Singapore, both currencies work equally well in Brunei. You can pay with Singapore Dollars at:

Hotels and accommodation
Restaurants and cafes
Shops and shopping centers
Taxis and transport
Attractions and experiences
Markets
Everywhere that accepts Brunei Dollars

Travel tip: If you're visiting both Singapore and Brunei, consider getting Singapore Dollars (SGD) instead of Brunei Dollars. SGD works perfectly in Brunei due to the 1:1 peg, and you'll have more flexibility if you're spending more time in Singapore or transiting through Changi Airport.
