Is this the rate I will get when I send money?

What is ZAR?

Rand is the currency with ISO code ZAR. US Dollar carries the code USD. Both codes come from the ISO 4217 register.

Where this rate comes from

Rates between two currencies are derived from their rates against the US dollar, which is how a cross rate is calculated. These are reference rates published for information: central banks state plainly that they are not intended for transactions. The rate any provider gives you, including us, includes their fee and their margin — compare the amount that actually arrives, not the rate on its own. Corrections: [email protected].
