All about the Brunei Dollar

What is the currency of Brunei Darussalam?

The official currency of Negara Brunei Darussalam is the Brunei Dollar (BND), issued by the Brunei Darussalam Central Bank. Locally it's also known as the Brunei Ringgit ("ringgit" being the Malay word for dollar), and it's written as B$ or simply $. One Brunei Dollar is divided into 100 sen (cents).

The Brunei Dollar has a layered history. Brunei used the Straits dollar from 1906, then the Malayan dollar from 1939, then the Malaya and British Borneo dollar from 1953. In 1967, Brunei began issuing its own currency, the Brunei Dollar, alongside Singapore and Malaysia issuing their own currencies as the shared arrangement ended. That same year, Brunei and Singapore signed a Currency Interchangeability Agreement pegging the Brunei Dollar and Singapore Dollar at par, an arrangement that still holds today (Malaysia's ringgit was part of the same peg initially but withdrew from it in 1973).

Brunei notes and coins

Brunei's central bank has also begun rolling out a New Family Banknotes Series across the $1, $5, $10, $100 and $500 denominations from 2026, replacing the "Ringgit" wording on notes with "Brunei Dollars." Older notes remain legal tender and continue to circulate alongside the new series, so you may receive either version in your change.

Coins in everyday circulation come in 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 sen denominations. A 1 sen coin is still minted but rarely seen in use. There isn't a standard-circulation $1 coin; commemorative coin sets exist but aren't something you'll receive in everyday change.

Fun facts about the Brunei Dollar

Long before the Brunei Dollar existed, cowrie shells and bronze teapots were used as currency for barter trade along Borneo's northern coast
Every banknote shows its denomination in English as well as Malay, printed in both the Rumi (Latin) and Jawi (Arabic-derived) scripts
The Brunei Dollar and Singapore Dollar have been mutually accepted at par since 1967, one of the few currency arrangements of its kind in the world
A commemorative $20 note was issued jointly with Singapore in 2007 to celebrate 40 years of their currency agreement

How much spending money do I need for Brunei?
This depends on your travel style. Budget travellers can expect to get by on a modest AUD daily amount covering hostel accommodation and street food, mid-range travellers should budget more for private rooms and restaurant meals, and those wanting a comfortable trip with tours and better hotels should budget accordingly higher. Since Brunei is a dry country, you won't need to factor in alcohol costs. Check the live converter above to work out AUD equivalents for your planned daily spend.
Is Brunei alcohol-free?
Yes, Brunei is a dry country where the sale and public consumption of alcohol is banned under Islamic law (Sharia). Hotels, restaurants, and shops do not serve or sell alcohol. However, non-Muslim visitors over 17 can bring in limited amounts of alcohol for private consumption (must be declared at customs). Most travelers find this adjustment easy, as Brunei offers excellent fruit juices, teh tarik (pulled tea), and other non-alcoholic beverages. The alcohol-free environment also means lower travel costs.
Should I take cash or card to Brunei?
Both, but have plenty of cash! While Brunei has good card acceptance at major hotels, shopping malls, and upscale restaurants in Bandar Seri Begawan, many smaller establishments prefer cash. The famous water villages (Kampong Ayer), local markets, food stalls, water taxis, smaller restaurants, and roadside vendors require Brunei Dollars. Having BND cash ensures you can experience authentic Brunei beyond the modern city centers.
