Bulgaria joins the euro - changes to Bulgarian lev (BGN)

In 2026, Bulgaria will adopt the euro (EUR) as its official currency, replacing the Bulgarian lev (BGN). As a result, Equals Money will not offer BGN after 26th November 2025.

What this means for you:

  • After this date, you’ll no longer be able to create or receive any new payments, conversions, or card transactions involving BGN.
  • Any BGN balance you hold in your Equals Money account will be automatically converted to euros at a rate of 1.95583 BGN to 1 EUR between 26th and 28th November.
  • Any saved BGN recipients on your account will be automatically converted to be EUR recipients.

You don’t need to take any action, the changes will be automatic.
