Buying $1,000 (travel, savings, importer FX) at the parallel rail costs you ZWG 7,628 more than if you could access the official RBZ window.

Receiving / selling $1,000 (diaspora remittance, an export payment, foreign salary) at the parallel rail gets you ZWG 7,628 more than the official RBZ rate would yield.

Significance at this size: the gap is now material (ZWG 7,628) — at this size it's worth comparing 2-3 dealers before transacting, and worth checking whether the official channel is accessible to you. Saving ZWG 7,628 on a single transaction is the kind of decision that compounds over a year.

Mid amount: Square + multi-dealer comparison

At $1,000, Square stays the main option in Algeria but compare 2-3 quotes — the main dealers serve larger volumes and their quotes differ. Some ask for informal ID at this size; it's not a regulated setting.
