About the Botswana Pula to South African Rand rate
This page converts the Botswana Pula (BWP) into the South African Rand (ZAR) at the mid-market rate. Both currencies trade continuously on the foreign exchange market, and the ratio between them moves with interest rates, inflation and the trade flows between their economies. The rate shown here is the neutral reference each bank, card network and bureau de change then builds its own price on top of.
Every figure on this page is a mid-market reading of BWP/ZAR, dated above. It says where the pair stood at that time, not where it is heading: no rate here is a forecast, a quote, or an offer to exchange.

Is 1.1678 the rate my bank will give me?
No. 1.1678 is the mid-market rate for BWP to ZAR, the midpoint between the buy and sell price and the rate before anyone adds a margin.

Use the inverse rate: one ZAR is worth 0.85632 BWP, so multiply your South African Rand amount by that figure. You can also swap the two currencies in the converter above and the table recalculates in the other direction.
Can I convert BWP to ZAR without internet?
Yes, in the Android app. It stores the last synced BWP to ZAR rate on the device and keeps converting with no connection, then updates as soon as you are online again. This website needs a connection, because it fetches the rate when the page loads.
Why does the BWP to ZAR rate keep changing?
The Botswana Pula and the South African Rand are priced against each other continuously on the currency market. Interest rates, inflation, trade flows and political news all move the pair, which is why the rate you saw in the morning is rarely the rate you see at night.
