How to use these rates
These are mid-market rates: the midpoint between buying and selling prices on the wholesale market. Banks, card networks, airport kiosks and transfer services quote their own rate with a margin, so the amount you receive will be lower. To see how much a quote costs you, enter it in the exchange rate markup calculator. Plan spending in ZAR with the travel budget converter.
