Comparing USD/AUD Exchange Rates
You should always check the total cost for any exchange rate you are provided by banks or FX specialists. These exchange rates almost always contain a margin from the wholesale USD/AUD rate ( interbank mid-rate) plus any fixed or percentage fees.
These margins and fees can vary significantly for USD to AUD International Money Transfers, Travel Money and prepaid multi-currency Travel Card transactions. Also the total cost will also vary depending on the total amount being exchanged.

How to get Good USD to AUD Exchange Rates
There are two important ways to save on Foreign Exchange, the first is minimising unnecessary or excessive costs and fees, and the other is to transact when the exchange rate is in your favour.
Reduce Excessive costs and fees
All foreign exchange providers charge a fee for providing their service and this fee is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).
The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for
travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money.
The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.
Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators
make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.
What is a good USD to AUD exchange rate?
This is always a difficult question as exchange rates are influenced by many factors, so a good method to consider the US Dollar vs Australian Dollar current value is to look the USD/AUD historic rate and change over a range of periods.

| USD/AUD | Change | Period |
|---|
| 1.2646 23 Feb 2021 | 1.1% â–² | 1 Week |
| 1.3122 31 Jan 2021 | 2.6% â–¼ | 30 Days |
| 1.3488 02 Dec 2020 | 5.2% â–¼ | 90 Days |

Will the US Dollar rise against the Australian Dollar?
It is almost impossible to predict what an exchange rate will do in the future, the best approach is to monitor the currency markets and transact when an exchange rate moves in your favour.
To help with this you can add USD/AUD to your BestExchangeRates My Rates Watchlist to track and benefit from currency movements.
