About the South African Rand to Zambian Kwacha rate
This page converts the South African Rand (ZAR) into the Zambian Kwacha (ZMW) 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/ZMW, 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.

How much is 100 ZAR in ZMW?
100 ZAR converts to 124.10 ZMW at the mid-market rate shown on this page, where one ZAR is worth 1.2410 ZMW. The pair moves through the day, so check the date under the rate before you rely on the figure.
Is 1.2410 the rate my bank will give me?
No. 1.2410 is the mid-market rate for ZAR to ZMW, 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 ZMW exchange rate?
One ZAR is worth 1.2410 ZMW, and one ZMW is worth 0.80577 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 ZMW back to ZAR?
Use the inverse rate: one ZMW is worth 0.80577 ZAR, so multiply your Zambian Kwacha 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 ZMW without internet?
Yes, in the Android app. It stores the last synced ZAR to ZMW 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 ZMW rate keep changing?
The South African Rand and the Zambian Kwacha 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 ZMW offline
The Android app keeps the last synced rates on your phone, so ZAR to ZMW 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/ZMW crosses a level you set.
