As of June 16, 2025, the Netherlands Antillean guilder (ANG) is in a transitional phase, with the Caribbean guilder (XCG) having been introduced on March 31, 2025. The ANG remains legal tender until June 30, 2025, after which it will cease to be accepted. During this period, both currencies circulate concurrently, allowing for a smooth transition.
Travelers, expats, and business owners should be aware that after June 30, 2025, the ANG will no longer be accepted for transactions. It is advisable to exchange any remaining ANG for the new Caribbean guilder before this date to avoid inconvenience.
Additionally, authorities have highlighted potential vulnerabilities during this currency transition, emphasizing the importance of vigilance against financial crimes such as money laundering. Service providers are encouraged to strengthen their anti-money laundering frameworks and monitor transactions closely during this period. (curacaochronicle.com)
