The New Israeli Shekel is the official New Israeli Shekel currency. ILS/BGN represents the value of New Israeli Shekel money in Bulgarian Lev money and it is called the 'exchange rate' or 'forex rate'. This exchange rate from New Israeli Shekel to Bulgarian Lev is today at 0.495.

As an example, suppose you are from Sofia Bulgaria and you travel to Jerusalem* Israel. There, you need to get 1000 New Israeli Shekels ( ₪) at a Jerusalem* bank to pay your hotel. In this case you would pay 0.495 * 1000 = 495.410 Bulgarian Levs (лв). 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 New Israeli Shekels amount, the result of the money conversion is 505.318 BGN for a 2% margin or 510.272 BGN 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 49.541 BGN 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.
