Local banking essentials

What to check before opening an account in Bandar Seri Begawan

Regulation

Banks and finance companies must be licensed by Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (formerly the Autoriti Monetari Brunei Darussalam) under the Banking Order, and money-brokering and remittance providers require BDCB licensing. Confirm the provider's BDCB licence before holding Brunei dollar balances with it.

Local account details

Brunei is not part of the IBAN scheme: the country's banks (including the Islamic banks) issue their own account numbers, and payments are addressed by naming the beneficiary's bank plus the account, with SWIFT/BIC used for the international leg.

Local currency: BND (Brunei dollar (at par with the Singapore dollar under the Currency Interchangeability Agreement))

Payments and transfers

Brunei Darussalam Central Bank operates the RTGS and retail clearing for interbank payments, BDCB's BruneiPay quick-response scheme supports interoperable QR payments between participating banks and wallets, and the currency interchangeability arrangement means Singapore dollars circulate side by side with Brunei dollars.
