FAQ

Anything else on your mind about South African Currency? As a secure online foreign exchange platform, we're here to keep foreign currency at your fingertips and make international money transfers easy.

What Is the Currency in South Africa?

The official currency of South Africa is the South African rand (ZAR), represented by the symbol R. It is issued in both South African Rand banknotes and rand coins, featuring cultural symbols and iconic figures. The most well-known design showcases Nelson Mandela, whose image is printed on all current banknote series as a tribute to his legacy. With advanced security features and durable designs, the rand serves as a trusted medium of exchange across the country.

Where Can I Get South African Rand?

You can find the rand at banks, travel agencies, or local exchange offices, but these outlets often have weaker exchange rates and added fees. A more convenient and cost-effective option is to order South African rand online from a trusted provider, such as US First Exchange. 

Ordering foreign currency online allows you to lock in competitive exchange rates, avoid unnecessary markups, and ensure a secure transaction from the comfort of your home before you travel. This way, you'll have South African money at hand as soon as you arrive, for immediate expenses such as taxis, tips, or small shops.

Should I Exchange Money Before I Travel to South Africa?

Yes, it’s usually better to order South African rand online and have local currency on hand before you arrive. While it may seem convenient to buy rand at a local bureaux de change, bank, post office, or other outlets abroad, these providers often add higher fees or offer less favorable exchange rates. If you have foreign currency leftover after your trip, you can also exchange it back into USD or your home currency at US First exchange, too.

How Much is $100 US in South African Rand?

At the current mid-market rate, $100 USD is worth roughly R1,800 ZAR, although the exact figure fluctuates with real-time market movements. You can use our currency converter tool to check the precise value and follow the latest dollar to rand updates. If you’re planning future transactions, our exchange rate alerts make it easy to track the SA rand to USD exchange rate and lock in the best possible deal.
