About the US Dollar to Kenyan Shilling rate
This page converts the US Dollar (USD) into the Kenyan Shilling (KES) 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 USD/KES, 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.
USD to KES: common questions
How much is 100 USD in KES?
100 USD converts to 12,998.33 KES at the mid-market rate shown on this page, where one USD is worth 129.983 KES. The pair moves through the day, so check the date under the rate before you rely on the figure.
Is 129.983 the rate my bank will give me?
No. 129.983 is the mid-market rate for USD to KES, the midpoint between the buy and sell price and the rate before anyone adds a margin. A bank, a card network or a bureau de change quotes a lower rate on this pair and may charge a fee on top, so expect to receive less than the converted figure shown here.
What is the USD to KES exchange rate?
One USD is worth 129.983 KES, and one KES is worth 0.007693 USD, at the time shown under the rate. The figure comes from ExchangeRate-API: it is a mid-market reading rather than a live trading price, and every figure on this page, the converter included, uses it.
How do I convert KES back to USD?
Use the inverse rate: one KES is worth 0.007693 USD, so multiply your Kenyan Shilling 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 USD to KES without internet?
Yes, in the Android app. It stores the last synced USD to KES 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 USD to KES rate keep changing?
The US Dollar and the Kenyan Shilling 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.
Convert USD to KES offline
The Android app keeps the last synced rates on your phone, so USD to KES still converts with no connection: on a plane, in a metro, or abroad without a data plan. It also converts one source currency into several targets on one screen, charts the history of every pair, and can send you a push notification when USD/KES crosses a level you set.
