At a bank or a bureau you will get a different amount: it changes at its own buying and selling rates, not at this one, and may charge a fee.

Before you change money

Ask for the rate and the fee in writing and compare what you would get with this answer. The difference is what the exchange costs you.

A sum for a trip, a course fee or an equipment purchase is often paid in a foreign currency, so the rand figure matters before you commit. Check the rate and any fee in writing, compare them with the official rate shown on this page, and keep the receipt once the payment is done. The result here is the official rate on multiplied by 500 US dollars — a reference figure, not the amount a bank or payment service will actually pay out.
