Rwandan Franc to Nigerian Naira exchange rate history
About the Rwandan Franc
The Rwandan Franc (RWF, FRw) is the official currency of Rwanda, issued by the National Bank of Rwanda (BNR). The Franc is quoted in whole units; its theoretical 100-centime subdivision is no longer in use. Rwanda runs a managed-float regime and has built a reputation for relatively predictable currency management within the EAC, supported by tight fiscal discipline and consistent multilateral financing. MTN MoMo Rwanda and Airtel Money dominate domestic mobile money, and Rwanda was an early adopter of cross-border MTN MoMo interoperability with Uganda. For diaspora flows landing in MTN MoMo Rwanda, the published RWF rate typically sits within 1%-2% of the interbank reference. Rwanda imposes no specific government levy on mobile-money transactions, leaving the all-in cost of receiving notably lower than in neighbouring Uganda or Tanzania.
About the Nigerian Naira
The Nigerian Naira (NGN, ₦) is the official currency of Nigeria, issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) since 1973 when it replaced the Nigerian pound. Subdivided into 100 kobo, the Naira is one of Africa's most-traded currencies and the principal medium of exchange for the continent's largest economy. Since the CBN's 2023 unification of the parallel and official exchange rate windows through what it calls the NAFEM mechanism, the Naira has traded under market-driven pricing rather than the previous administered peg. Nigeria receives an estimated 20 billion USD a year in formal remittances, and for inbound flows to MTN MoMo PSB, OPay, PalmPay and Moniepoint the published Naira rate is now typically within 1%-3% of the parallel market — a sharp narrowing compared to the 30%-60% gaps that prevailed before unification.
