It’s worth keeping an eye on the live Australian Dollar to Botswana Pula rate, and looking at historical exchange rate data to see what trends emerge. This can help you spot a good rate when one is available, and will help you prepare to convert money or send your overseas payment.

How about AUD?

If you need to switch BWP - or any other foreign currency - back to AUD, again, you’ll need to watch exchange rates to get a feel for the trends and the best time to exchange. You may also want to shop around a bit to see which providers can offer the best deal based on your specific needs, to make sure you get the most AUD back in the end.

Where to buy BWP today?

You may be able to buy BWP from a bank, a physical currency exchange store, or online. Which option suits you will depend a lot on what you need the money for, and how urgently.

Not all banks offer travel cash, and where this is available you may need to order in advance. Physical currency exchange offices can be quicker if they hold the currency you need in stock. Or, as an alternative you might want to look at digital currency exchange services, like Wise or OFX, which allow you to open an account with your phone, to add AUD from your bank or with a card, and convert digitally to BWP. You can then use your BWP balance to send to someone else, or in some cases, you can spend with a linked digital or physical card.

Wise

The Wise multi-currency account allows you to buy, hold, and spend Botswana Pula and over 40 other currencies at the real exchange rate with no markup. In addition to saving on currency exchange, the service offers a debit card linked to the account and 2 free withdrawals per month of up to 250 GBP and provides local bank details for receiving payments in 9 currencies.

OFX

OFX was founded in 1998, and has 1 million+ customers. You can send payments in 55 currencies with OFX. Through your personal broker you can also set up forward exchange contracts and target rate orders to help manage currency risks when transacting or holding high values of foreign currencies.

OFX is available to send to 170 countries in 50 currencies. It doesn’t use a transfer fee for international payments. However, there is an exchange rate markup - which is a fee wrapped up in the exchange rate being offered.

How to get the best exchange rate when buying BWP today?

The only way to know you’re getting the best available BWP exchange rate is to do some research. The best rate may depend on whether you need cash or want to send a payment, and which providers are convenient for you based on your location. Many services list their live exchange rates online which makes them easier to check and compare, which offers some reassurance you’ll get a good deal in the end.

How to order foreign currency online

Depending on your needs, you may find you can order BWP online for collection or delivery in cash - or you could choose a multi-currency account from a specialist provider which lets you add funds in your preferred currency and switch over to BWP instantly.

Cash services might suit you if you want travel money ready for a trip, but a digital account could also work if you pick a provider which offers a debit card. You can simply use this to make withdrawals on arrival from an ATM, so you’ll be able to pay with card or cash, depending on what’s best for your particular transaction.

How to open a BWP account in Australia

Bank services can vary widely and may come with some quite high minimum balance requirements and costs. Often specialist providers can offer more flexible account services, including holding AUD and BWP, with low fees and easy ways to send and receive payments, or spend with a card when you’re travelling.

How to send money to Botswana?

Before you send your payment with your bank it’s worth also comparing a few specialist services.

Specialist money transfer services still allow you to fund your transfer to Botswana through your bank’s online banking system, or you can pay with your debit or credit card in many cases, too.
