Rates shown are mid-market rates from an open-source currency API updated daily. Banks and exchange offices add 1-5% margin. Use our tool as an estimate, then check with your bank for exact rates.

Are GCC currencies pegged to USD?

Yes, most GCC currencies are pegged: SAR = 3.75, AED = 3.67, QAR = 3.64, BHD = 0.376, OMR = 0.384 per USD. KWD is the most valuable currency globally and not fully pegged. EGP and TRY float freely.

How to get the best exchange rate?

Avoid airport exchange offices (worst rates). Use Wise, Revolut, or STC Pay. Transfer larger amounts for better rates. Monitor rates for a few days before converting large sums.

Can I convert SAR to USD?

1 SAR = 0.267 USD (fixed peg). 1,000 SAR = 267 USD. The SAR-USD rate is stable due to the currency peg. Bank margin is typically 0.5-1% on this pair.

What's the buy/sell spread?

Buy price = what the bank sells you currency at. Sell price = what the bank pays when you sell currency. The difference is the bank's profit margin (spread). Our tool shows mid-rate.

Do you support crypto?

No, we only support traditional fiat currencies. For crypto conversions, use specialized platforms like Binance or Coinbase.

How to use this for travel?

Enter your home currency amount, select your destination currency. Add 2-3% for bank margins to get a realistic budget. Check rates a week before traveling.

Why is KWD the most valuable currency?

Kuwait has a strong economy, large oil reserves, and a sovereign wealth fund. KWD is pegged to a basket of currencies (not just USD). 1 KWD ≈ 3.25 USD.

Best time to convert currency?

Weekdays during London market hours (Sunday-Thursday 8am-10pm). Avoid weekends (markets closed, wider spreads). Avoid major economic news days.
