Optima Bank

Good rate, long queue

Optima's dollar rate on Chuy is among the best — 87.25 buy. But there's a 20-minute queue at lunch. Better to exchange in the app.

Bakai Bank

Best dollar rate in town

Exchanged $2,000 before a trip. Bakai buys at 87.30 — higher than the exchange booths at Mossovet. Five-minute queue, no questions asked.

MBank

Exchange in the app without visiting a branch

I convert soms to dollars right inside MBank in a second. The rate is slightly worse than at the counter (by 10 tyiyn), but available 24/7. Downside — a $5,000 daily limit.

Динара К., Бишкек · September 1, 2026

Optima Bank

Rate in Osh is worse than in Bishkek

At Optima's Osh branch the dollar sells 15 tyiyn dearer than the site shows for Bishkek. Staff explained the rate is regional. A single rate would be nice.

KICB

Euro at the NBKR rate for clients

As a payroll client, KICB gave me euros nearly at the National Bank rate — 101.90 vs the official 101.82. Saved about 1,500 som on €3,000 compared to an exchange booth.

Kyrgyzkommertsbank

Yuan for purchasing in China

Kyrgyzkommertsbank is one of the few selling cash yuan. Rate 12.35 vs NBKR 12.24; I ordered ¥50,000 a day in advance. Handy for business with China.
