The official Brunei currency is the Brunei Dollar (BND), also called the Brunei Ringgit locally. It's written as B$ or BND. You'll need Brunei Dollars for everyday expenses like food, transport, accommodation, and shopping throughout Brunei Darussalam. The Brunei Dollar is the only official currency accepted across the country.

BND stands for Brunei Dollar (also known as Brunei Ringgit in Malay). It's the official currency code for Brunei's money, just like AUD stands for Australian Dollar. When you see "BND" in exchange rates, it refers to Brunei Dollars. The currency symbol is "B$" or simply "$" locally.

Brunei Darussalam (meaning "Brunei, Abode of Peace") is a small, wealthy nation located on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It's bordered by Malaysia and the South China Sea. The capital city is Bandar Seri Begawan. Despite its small size, Brunei is one of the world's richest countries due to its vast oil and natural gas reserves. It's known for its pristine rainforests, stunning mosques, traditional water villages, and Islamic culture.

"Darussalam" is an Arabic word meaning "Abode of Peace" or "House of Peace." The country's full name is Negara Brunei Darussalam, which translates to "Nation of Brunei, Abode of Peace." It's commonly referred to as either Brunei or Brunei Darussalam. The name reflects the country's Islamic heritage and peaceful nature as a stable, prosperous sultanate.

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.

Yes! Brunei Dollar (BND) and Singapore Dollar (SGD) are interchangeable at a 1:1 rate due to a long-standing currency agreement between the two countries. Singapore Dollars are widely accepted throughout Brunei at the same value as Brunei Dollars. However, if you're traveling specifically to Brunei from Australia, it's still best to exchange AUD to BND directly for simplicity.

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.
