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.

Rand Converter turns an amount in South African rand into another currency, and back again, using the official rate of the day. Type the amount, choose the currency, and the answer appears both ways: what your rand is worth abroad and what foreign money comes to in rand. The calculation runs in your browser from the rates printed on the page, so nothing is sent anywhere to be worked out.

What the answer is not

The result is not a bank quote. Banks and exchange desks set their own buying and selling prices, and those differ from the reference rate. Treat the figure as a guide, not as an offer.

Round amounts

If you want a quick sense of scale, the round-amount pages list common sums already converted, which saves typing.
