Converting from Bermuda Dollar (BMD) to Malawi Kwacha (MWK)

What is Bermuda Dollar (BMD)

The Bermuda Dollar (BMD) is the official currency of Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory located in the North Atlantic Ocean. Launched in 1970, the BMD is pegged to the U.S. dollar (USD) at a one-to-one exchange rate. This means that one BMD is equal to one USD, making it a stable currency for international trade and tourism. The Bermuda Monetary Authority manages the currency, ensuring its stability and security.

The Island's economy relies heavily on tourism and international business. This means that people visiting Bermuda will often find the BMD to be a convenient currency for their transactions. The BMD is issued in banknotes and coins, with denominations of ＄1, ＄5, ＄10, ＄20, ＄50, and ＄100 for banknotes, and 1, 5, 10, 25 cents, and ＄1 for coins.

When traveling to Bermuda or conducting business there, understanding the BMD can be useful. While U.S. dollars are also widely accepted, knowing the local currency can help avoid confusion during transactions.
