At the reference rate, . How the rate is set

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.

Round amounts

At the reference rate of the central banks. Each amount has its own page where there is one.

This page converts 5,000 US dollars into South African rand. That is a large sum, the kind you would send for fees or an import payment rather than everyday spending. Before you change or pay an amount of this size, ask for the rate and the fee in writing, compare what you are offered with the official rate shown here, and keep the receipt. The result on this page is simply the official rate on multiplied by the amount. It is not what a bank or bureau will pay out once their margin is applied.
