What is Interbank Rate vs Parallel rate?
Well, the differences are very clear. One salient thing here is that both of the transactions are being done within the banking hall. The Interbank exchange rate and Parallel rate aren’t that different from each other.
In quick summary, the Interbank exchange rate is a type of Dollar to Naira exchange rate that is being done by the bank’s type of bureau de change.
On the other, the Parallel rate can also be known as the Black Market Exchange rate, which is a type of Dollar to Naira transaction that is being done by the Mallam bureau de change inside the bank but not by the official of the bank.
Fortunately, since both transactions can be done within the bank, customers don’t have to bother about getting scammed. After all, you should have receipts if there is any sort of trickish business going on.
If you are not aware, Foreign Exchange (forex or FX) is the trading of one currency for another. For example, one can swap the U.S. dollar for the Naira or vice versa.

How to exchange Dollar to Naira GTbank like a pro
If you are transferring your Dollar to the Mallam for the exchange transaction to complete, then this section isn’t for you. But if you want to exchange your Dollar like a professional, then let’s get started.
I have been exchanging huge amounts of Dollars for the past few years, and my experience has been extraordinary. Just follow these steps to exchange your money like a pro.
1. Don’t exchange with Mallams that are outside the bank: They are good and trusted, but it is just better to do the transaction with Mallams inside the bank, conveniently and comfortably. Locate the Mallam within or inside the bank itself and proceed with Step 2.
2. Negotiate with the Mallam: Even if you want to exchange the biggest amount or the smallest, try to price with the Mallam. Visit this page to check the latest exchange rate, which big higher than the price. Let’s say you want to exchange $10000, and the normal exchange rate is $1 to N358, bid with him that you want to exchange at $1 to N360 but it might end at either N358/N359, but threaten to go to the next buyer.
3. Don’t FX transfer your Dollar from your account to Mallam: Unless the exchanger says it is compulsory, don’t transfer your Dollar, but instead try to withdraw and give it to him. The only reason is that GTbank or other banks will charge a huge amount during the transfer. Imagine the 0.5% of commission transaction and 5% VAT commission on GTbank. It is a huge deal, but it can still serve some little purpose along the line.
4. Don’t act like a newbie: If it is your first time, please ask around until you get to the Mallam Dollar buyer. Now bid with him as explained in Step 2. Withdraw your money, provide the account to be credited, and wait there until the account is credited. Although, others suggest giving them the Dollar and Account number, then leave, as they will still credit your account.
The GTB dollar to naira exchange rate today will always fluctuate, please bookmark this article and visit it, whenever you want to exchange your Dollar for Naira.
Hello, good stuff you shared here.
So I wanna convert my nairas into dollars and deposit in my dorm Account.
The conversion is from my personal naira account to my Dollar dorm Account, both GTB.
Can I get do that from GTB counter at lower rate let say 330 or 320 instead of going to BDC agent that will charge me high 470 or 478?
Buying and Selling Dollars are totally different things, when you are exchanging your money from Dollar to Naira, it is buying, and from Naira to Dollar, it is selling. Bear it in mind that both Bank and Aboki Selling Price are almost the same. But the downside is that, GTBank doesn’t buy your dollar at market price.
Thank you.
I love to bank with you bank…. ?????
