Three rates for one currency
The interbank rate
This is the reference rate, used for bank transfers and account operations. It is the rate applied when you receive a transfer from abroad.
Cash exchange
This is the counter rate, applied when you exchange banknotes or traveller's cheques. It is always slightly less favourable than the interbank rate: the difference covers the cost of handling cash.
The forward rate
It shows the rate at which a transaction can be locked in three or six months ahead. Useful if you sign a preliminary agreement today and pay later: it fixes your budget regardless of market moves.
Buying in Tunisia from abroad
Buying property from abroad is prepared with your bank as much as with your agent. Funds go through a convertible dinar account opened in your name and credited from abroad. That paper trail is what will let you repatriate the proceeds in your original currency when you eventually sell, so keep every transfer receipt: without them, taking money out becomes considerably harder. And do not overlook the rate itself: a few cents of difference look harmless, but on a budget of two hundred thousand euros they already amount to several thousand dinars.
