What is a Good ZAR/CAD Exchange Rate?
Checking the ZAR/CAD exchange rate is the best thing you can do for your pocket when sending money to South Africa. South Africa’s official currency is the rand, so you have to factor in how the exchange rate will affect your currency conversion. Generally, a reasonable exchange rate is one that allows you to get more rands from your Canadian dollars.
Take, for instance, the MTFX rate. It’s typically 3-5% lower than banks, meaning that if you convert $20,000 Canadian dollars, you can save up to $1,000, which you can pocket or use to buy more South African rands. This translates to significant savings for businesses that regularly make big-dollar transfers to South Africa.
The savings can quickly add up if you transfer large sums of money at a good exchange rate when purchasing goods and services for your business or paying for your foreign investments.
The CAD/ZAR is a relatively popular currency pair, and it pays to focus on its current trend before sending money to South Africa. Use the MTFX live rate currency rate calculator now to discover how much your recipient gets.
