About the South African Rand to US Dollar rate
This page converts the South African Rand (ZAR) into the US Dollar (USD) 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 ZAR/USD, 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.
ZAR to USD: common questions
How much is 100 ZAR in USD?
100 ZAR converts to 6.06 USD at the mid-market rate shown on this page, where one ZAR is worth 0.06060 USD. The pair moves through the day, so check the date under the rate before you rely on the figure.
Is 0.06060 the rate my bank will give me?
No. 0.06060 is the mid-market rate for ZAR to USD, 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 ZAR to USD exchange rate?
One ZAR is worth 0.06060 USD, and one USD is worth 16.5010 ZAR, 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 USD back to ZAR?
Use the inverse rate: one USD is worth 16.5010 ZAR, so multiply your US Dollar 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 USD without internet?
Yes, in the Android app. It stores the last synced ZAR to USD 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 USD rate keep changing?
The South African Rand and the US Dollar 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 ZAR to USD offline
The Android app keeps the last synced rates on your phone, so ZAR to USD 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/USD crosses a level you set.
Other conversions people make with ZAR and USD
The ZAR to USD rate on this page is an indicative mid-market rate from ExchangeRate-API, dated where it is shown. It is the rate before any margin is added, so a bank, a bureau de change or a payment provider will quote you less. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
