About these rates
Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), the central bank, publishes the foreign exchange rates that commercial banks use as the reference for each day. The table shows the buying rate (what a bank pays you when you sell foreign currency) and the selling rate (what you pay when you buy it). Some currencies, such as the Japanese yen, are quoted per 10 or 100 units, shown in the Unit column.
The rates on this page are copied from NRB's published data once or twice a day and show the date they apply to. They are for reference. Banks and money changers may add their own margins and fees, so confirm the final rate with your provider.

Frequently asked questions
Where do these exchange rates come from?
They come from Nepal Rastra Bank's published foreign exchange rates. The date shown on the page is the date NRB's rates apply to.
What is the difference between the buying and selling rate?
The buying rate is what a bank pays when you sell it foreign currency. The selling rate is what you pay when you buy foreign currency from it. The selling rate is normally slightly higher.
Why is the rate for some currencies shown per 10 or 100 units?
NRB quotes lower-valued currencies, such as the Japanese yen and the Indian rupee, per a fixed number of units to keep the numbers readable. The Unit column shows it and the converter takes it into account.
Why does the date look old?
NRB does not publish new rates on holidays and weekends. If the date is more than a few days old the page shows a warning, because the update may have failed.
Is this the rate I will get at a bank?
Not necessarily. Banks and money changers add their own margins and fees. Confirm the rate and charges with your provider before you exchange or send money.
