NBM Exchange Rates

Today's official rates for EUR, USD and the other currencies are in the table on this page. The data comes directly from the National Bank of Moldova.

Enter the amount, pick the currency and, if needed, swap the conversion direction. By default the converter uses the official NBM rate. Pick a bank under the converter to calculate at that bank's cash rate: the buy rate when you exchange currency into lei, and the sell rate including the 0.1% levy when you buy currency. Your choice is remembered for your next visit.

The NBM rate is a reference rate and is not binding on banks. Each bank sets its own rates, usually buying currency below the NBM rate and selling it above. The difference between the two is called the spread. Compare bank rates on the Commercial bank exchange rates page.

The NBM sets the official rate every business day, based on transactions on the interbank currency market. On non-business days the last rate set stays in effect. Commercial bank rates change more often, and we read them several times a day.

The nominal is the number of currency units the rate is quoted for. For example, the Hungarian forint (HUF) has a nominal of 100: a rate of 5.4962 MDL means 100 HUF = 5.4962 MDL, so 1 HUF ≈ 0.055 MDL. The converter takes the nominal into account automatically.

No. When you pay by card in another currency, the issuing bank applies its own card rate, and fees may be added. Banks' card rates are on the Card tab of the Commercial bank exchange rates page.
