Learn how to get the best Cedi exchange rate before exchanging your money
The Cedi is the official Cedi currency. GHS/GBP represents the value of Cedi money in Pound money and it is called the 'exchange rate' or 'forex rate'. This exchange rate from Cedi to Pound is today at 0.049.
As an example, suppose you are from London Great Britain and you travel to Accra Ghana. There, you need to get 1000 Cedis ( GH₵) at a Accra bank to pay your hotel. In this case you would pay 0.049 * 1000 = 49.213 Pounds (£). But, in practice, you will pay more (or perhaps much more) to get the same amount of your foreign currency due to the margin for the money conversion services costs like: commissions, credit card surcharges, ATM fees and other expenses. If, for example, you are using a credit card, this margin will typically be around 2 to 3 percent. We recommend that you choose the best place to make your money exchange because there can be a large difference between forex rates you will get.
In the example above for a 1000 Cedis amount, the result of the money conversion is 50.197 GBP for a 2% margin or 50.690 GBP for a 3% margin.
Some Internet based foreign currency exchange agencies add 10 percent or even more. So, if you make the same calculations above, there will be a difference of about 4.921 GBP depending on which forex bank or agency you choose to exchange your money. So, that's why we advise you to seek the best place to get the best fx rates for your upcoming money transfer/exchange. The only way to know what is the best exchange rate is to know what the current rate is.
