The best Bahamian dollar rates are offered online by companies that specialise in travel money and foreign exchange.

If you absolutely must buy your Bahamian dollars in person it's still worth seeing if you can order online first on the supplier's website because you'll often get a better rate buy pre-ordering in advance before you collect your order.

On the high street, supermarkets tend to offer better Bahamian dollar rates than travel agents and the worst rates are offered by banks and airports.

The best time to buy Bahamian dollars is when the pound is performing strongly relative to the Bahamian dollar. That's the technically-correct answer, but it's not very helpful. What people really want to know is: how can I time the market just right to maximise the amount of Bahamian dollars I get before I travel?

You can get a good idea of how competitive today's Bahamian dollar rate is relative to the past using our historical pound to Bahamian dollar charts, but beyond that it's impossible to say exactly when is the best time to buy.

If you have the luxury of time you can spread your Bahamian dollar purchases out over multiple weeks or months, but the short answer is nobody knows when the best Bahamian dollar rate is going to crop up; this isn't something you can control so you shouldn't worry about it - just buy your Bahamian dollars whenever is convenient for you and get back to thinking about your holiday!

There is no evidence to suggest that you are better off buying your Bahamian dollars in the Bahamas. Exchange rates are usually very similar to those on offer here in the UK, but if you wait until you're in the Bahamas you run the risk of being stuck with a poor exchange rate and little or no local competition to buy elsewhere. Also, you may have to pay additional fees or commission when buying Bahamian dollars in the Bahamas, whereas when you buy in the UK you know exactly how much you are getting up front with no hidden surprises when you come to buy.

If you want to send money to a bank account in the Bahamas (or anywhere else in the world), you should use a money transfer service to send the funds for you. This is particularly useful for large or regular payments where the exchange rate is important, but you can use a money transfer service to send or receive funds between any overseas bank accounts (for example to pay for goods in the Bahamas, or receive Bahamian dollars into your UK bank account).

Thousands of customers order travel money on our website every week and the vast majority experience no issues whatsoever. However, as with any online order the process is not entirely risk-free and you should exercise caution when sending money to any company, particularly if you pay by bank transfer.

We undertake strict and comprehensive checks on the companies that we feature, and we monitor them all on a regular basis to ensure they continue to meet our high standards. Having said that, no company is too big to fail and we cannot guarantee the solvency of any of the suppliers who appear on our website. For this reason, we recommend that you conduct your own due diligence before placing an order with any company.

In the unlikely event that something does go wrong after you've placed an order, your payment method will determine how you are financially protected. For more information see: Choosing the right payment method.
