About USD to SAR

The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) has held the riyal at 3.75 per US dollar since 1986, one of the longest-running pegs in the world.

Because of the peg, any large difference between a quote and 3.75 is the provider’s margin or fee, not a market move.

Saudi Arabia is one of the largest sources of remittances worldwide, so it pays to compare transfer quotes — see the transfer fee calculator.

Assumptions

  • The rate is a mid-market reference rate, not a bank’s buy or sell price.
  • Rates are published once per working day and cached on your device for up to an hour.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting a bank or exchange shop to give you the reference rate exactly.
  • Forgetting to check the publication date on weekends and public holidays.
