Question 1

Is the Bahamian dollar easy to sell in France?

Accepted Answer

BSD is an exotic currency rarely found in French bureaux de change. Paris Change offers this service due to the regular flow of clients returning from the Bahamas or the Caribbean. Feel free to call us on 01 43 54 76 87 before coming for large amounts.

Question 2

Does the BSD buy-back rate follow the EUR/USD rate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, very closely. Since the Bahamian dollar is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed parity (1 BSD = 1 USD), the EUR/BSD buy-back rate tracks the same fluctuations as the interbank EUR/USD rate.

Question 3

Is there a minimum amount to sell Bahamian dollars?

Accepted Answer

No, there is no minimum. You can sell even a small amount. For amounts over €2,000, we recommend contacting us in advance.

Question 4

Do I need ID to sell BSD?

Accepted Answer

For amounts under €1,000, no ID is required. Above that, a valid form of identification is required in compliance with AML/CFT regulations.

Question 5

Can I sell BSD and buy another currency at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In a single visit you can sell your Bahamian dollars and use the proceeds to buy another currency: euros, US dollars, pound sterling, etc.

Question 6

What is the difference between the sell rate and the buy-back rate?

Accepted Answer

The sell rate is the rate at which we sell you BSD (you buy BSD). The buy-back rate (or buy rate) is the rate at which we buy your BSD from you (you sell BSD). The difference between the two rates represents our operating margin, displayed transparently.
