About the US dollar and the Saudi riyal
The US dollar (USD, $) is the currency of the United States, Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama (alongside the balboa) and several other countries, issued by the Federal Reserve. The US dollar floats freely and is the world's main reserve currency; most other currencies are quoted against it.
The Saudi riyal (SAR) is the currency of Saudi Arabia, issued by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA). The riyal has been pegged to the US dollar at 3.75 riyals per dollar since 1986.
Because of the peg, the USD to SAR rate stays practically fixed; only the fees and margins charged by banks and exchange offices change.
Getting a good USD to SAR rate
- The rate shown here is the mid-market rate. Banks, card providers and exchange offices add a margin, typically 1–5%.
- When paying by card abroad, choose to pay in the local currency rather than letting the machine convert it for you.
- Avoid exchanging cash at airports and hotels, where margins are usually highest.
- For large transfers, compare a few providers on the total amount received.
