Frequently asked questions
Why is my bank's rate different?
The RBM publishes buying, middle and selling rates. Banks and forex bureaux set their own buying and selling rates, so what you get at the counter is not the middle rate.
How often does the rate change?
The RBM publishes rates every working day. The converter uses the latest one, so check the date under the result.
Which rate does the MRA use for customs?
The MRA publishes its own exchange rates for customs purposes on mra.mw. This converter uses the RBM rate.
