    The OFX USD to SAR exchange rate is 3.6251. This is -3.3% compared to the latest USD-SAR mid-market rate 3.7501.

    As exchange rates can vary significantly between banks and also between currency exchange providers, it's therefore important to carefully compare US dollar (USD) to Saudi riyal (SAR) rates from different sources before making a conversion.

    How do OFX USD-SAR rates compare between providers?

    Looking at our comparison table the best USD to SAR exchange rate is 3.7257 from Wise, -0.65% from the mid-market rate 3.7501. The next best rate is 3.6601 from WorldRemit, -2.4% from the mid-rate. WorldRemit with 3.6601 is -2.4% from the mid-rate.

    It's important to note that exchange rates also fluctuate frequently due to market conditions. Additionally, banks and foreign exchange providers often apply a margin to the exchange rate, resulting in a less favorable rate for customers compared to the mid-market rate. For more competitive rates, you might consider using a specialized currency exchange service like OFX or platforms that offer rates closer to the mid-market rate.

    Additionally, OFX provides 24/7 customer support, a range of transfer options including spot and forward contracts, and a user-friendly online platform, enhancing convenience and flexibility for global financial transactions.

    What Savings Can I Expect with OFX?

    OFX offers exchange rates that beat the banks, and are close or equal to the rates offered by the industry’s lowest-cost services.

    When you register via our OFX 0.5% exclusive offer for BER users the cost of sending, for example, 5,000 US dollars to Australia equates to 0.5 percent of the transferred amount, or roughly US$25. You’d pay the same 0.5 percent for the same amount to be sent to Europe and around 1 percent if sending to India. This compares with 4–7 percent with the banks.

    For other currency routes we looked at (routes involving AUD, INR, GBP, EUR, SGD and USD), the average cost of an international payment with OFX was 0.6 percent of the transferred amount. This is exceptional if compared with banks but can be a little more expensive than what is charged by the industry’s lowest-cost services, although such services do not offer the same benefits and customer service as OFX.

    USD & SAR - Markets & outlook

      US dollar - USD:

    US dollar (USD) bolstered by Trump inflation expectations

    The dollar strengthened to its highest level in a year as Donald Trump secured the US presidency, sparking a sharp rise in Treasury yields on expectations that his policies would sustain elevated US interest rates.

    Although Trump has voiced support for a weaker dollar, investors anticipate his policies will drive inflation and slow the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts, ultimately boosting the dollar. He has pledged to reduce taxes and impose significant tariffs on imports, which could impact the currencies of some of America’s key trading partners.


      Saudi riyal - SAR:

    The riyal is officially pegged to the IMF's special drawing rights (SDRs). In practice, it is fixed at 1 U.S. dollar = 3.75 riyals, which translates to approximately 1 riyal = 0.266667 dollar.

    How to get a good USD to SAR exchange rate

    There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting US dollar to Saudi riyal:

    1. Shop around for the best USD/SAR exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
    2. Timing is important: Keep an eye on the USD/SAR rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
    3. Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
    4. Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both USD and SAR at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
    5. Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

    The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

    Generally speaking, if you are buying Saudi riyal with US dollar, then it's better for the USD/SAR exchange rate to be higher.

    However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees 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.

    Read our Currency guide to Saudi Arabia — a practical currency and money guide to travel in Saudi Arabia plus living and doing business with the Saudi riyal.

    It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.
