The parallel market — often called the black market or aboki rate — is the informal street price for Euro and Nigerian Naira, set outside the official banking channel. It is not a regulated or guaranteed rate.
Since the 2023 naira float, the gap between the street rate and the official, regulated rate has narrowed to around 1-2%. The EUR to NGN rate shown above is CrossPay’s real, locked-in rate on a licensed, CBN-compliant rail — now competitive with the street, fully traceable, and protected. You no longer need the parallel market to get a good rate.

The black-market (aboki) or parallel rate is the informal street price, set outside the official banking system — it is not regulated or guaranteed. Since the 2023 naira float it has stayed within about 1-2% of the official rate, so the regulated EUR to NGN rate shown above is now competitive with the street — and, unlike a street deal, it is locked in, licensed and fully traceable.
