FAQ

What is the USD to BRL exchange rate today?

The live mid-market USD/BRL rate is shown at the top of this page and loads fresh from an open exchange-rate source each time you visit, with the update time next to it.

How do I get the best rate when changing USD to BRL?

Compare any quote with the live mid-market rate using the checker on this page. Low-margin transfer services and multi-currency cards are usually closest; airport booths and dynamic currency conversion are usually furthest.

Should I pay in USD or BRL when abroad?

If you're spending in Brazil, choose BRL at the card terminal or ATM. Picking USD triggers dynamic currency conversion, where the merchant's bank sets the rate.

Is this the rate my bank will give me for USD to BRL?

Probably not exactly. Banks and card networks add a margin and sometimes a foreign transaction fee. Type their quote into the checker to see the difference in percent and money.
