Is the NGN/ZAR rate shown here what I will pay?
Not quite – it is the mid-market reference rate, without any markup. Card payments, ATMs and exchange offices each add a margin, so compare their quote against this number before you commit.
Is the NGN to ZAR rate a cross rate?
Yes. Neither currency is quoted directly against the other, so the rate comes from their two USD quotes – the standard way to price pairs that are rarely traded directly.
Is the South African rand stronger than the Nigerian naira?
Against each other, yes: 1 NGN buys 0.01242 ZAR, so one South African rand is worth more than one Nigerian naira. That says nothing about prices in either country – what a unit actually buys locally is what the cost-of-living data on CityCost measures.
