About the South African Rand to Kenyan Shilling rate
This page converts the South African Rand (ZAR) 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 an hourly mid-market reading of ZAR/KES. It says where the pair stands right now, not where it is heading: no rate here is a forecast, a quote, or an offer to exchange.
ZAR to KES: common questions

Is 8.0202 the rate my bank will give me?
No. 8.0202 is the mid-market rate for ZAR 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.

Today one ZAR is worth 8.0202 KES, and one KES is worth 0.12469 ZAR. The figure comes from ExchangeRate-API and is refreshed every hour, so it is the latest hourly mid-market reading rather than a live trading price.
How do I convert KES back to ZAR?
Use the inverse rate: one KES is worth 0.12469 ZAR, 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 ZAR to KES without internet?
Yes, in the Android app. It stores the last synced ZAR 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 ZAR to KES rate keep changing?
The South African Rand and the Kenyan Shilling are priced against each other continuously on the currency market, and this page follows that market with an hourly refresh. 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 ZAR to KES offline
The Android app keeps the last synced rates on your phone, so ZAR 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 ZAR/KES crosses a level you set.
