Mid-market rate vs what you'll actually get
The rate shown by default here is the interbank mid-market rate, the midpoint between buy and sell prices in the global currency market. Banks, forex bureaus and money transfer services all add their own margin on top of this, so the rate you're actually offered when converting cash will be somewhat less favourable.
Because exchange rates move constantly throughout the trading day, treat the default rate here as a reference point and edit it with your specific provider's quoted rate for an accurate figure.
Banks and forex bureaus add their own margin on top of the interbank mid-market rate shown here, so their buy and sell rates are always a bit worse than what this calculator shows. Use this as a reference point, then compare against your specific provider.
How often does the exchange rate change?
Continuously. The Kenyan Shilling trades against major currencies throughout the day based on market supply and demand, so any single rate is only a snapshot. You can edit the rate field here if you have a more current figure.
Who sets the official KES exchange rate?
The Central Bank of Kenya does not set the rate; it publishes a daily indicative rate calculated as the weighted average of registered interbank trades. Individual banks and forex bureaus set their own retail rates.
