Frequently asked questions
- What is 1 South African Rand in US Dollar?
- 1 ZAR = 0.06079 USD at today's mid-market rate.

- What is 1 USD in ZAR?
- 1 USD = 16.45 ZAR — the inverse of the rate above.
- Where do these rates come from?
- The European Central Bank publishes daily reference rates around 16:00 CET. Convertitive consumes them through the Frankfurter open data service and refreshes its cache every hour.
- How often is the rate updated?
- Up to once per hour, and only when the ECB itself has issued a new value. Over weekends and holidays the displayed rate stays at the previous business day's close.
- Why isn't this the rate my bank quotes?
- Mid-market rates are a benchmark; retail banks and card networks add a spread on every conversion to cover their costs and margin. Expect that spread to be 1–3 % on most card transactions and 0.4–0.8 % at large brokers.
- Can I use this for accounting or invoicing?
- Use it as a reference. For official accounting, most jurisdictions require a documented rate from a central bank or your tax authority (which often publish their own daily values).
- What's a 'mid-market' rate?
- The midpoint between the buying and selling prices that wholesale banks quote each other. It's the closest thing to a 'real' rate for an individual to compare against.
