Botswana Foreign Exchange Overview
The Botswana Pula (BWP, symbol "P", subunit "Thebe") is the legal tender of Botswana, pegged to a trade-weighted currency basket comprising the IMF Special Drawing Right (SDR) and the South African Rand (ZAR) under a crawling peg framework managed by the Bank of Botswana (BoB).
When exchanging currency in Gaborone, Francistown, or tourism hubs such as Maun and Kasane, retail forex bureaus and commercial banks charge a retail spread ranging from 1.5% to 4.0% above the interbank wholesale mid-market rate. For cross-border money transfers, electronic wire transfers via authorized dealer banks provide competitive spreads.
