About the rate
How TopRate sets the AUD to ZAR rate
What the AUD to rand figure on this page includes, where it comes from and how long it stays current.
One rate, from one source
The figure above comes from the same quote engine that prices the TopRate app and the calculator on our website. There is no separate advertised rate: a AUD to ZAR quote here and in the app is worked out the same way.
The fee is shown on its own
The rate converts Australian dollars into South African Rand; the transfer fee is a separate line. The converter lists both for each amount, and the app shows the exact fee before you confirm.
It moves during the day
Exchange rates are live, variable and not guaranteed. This page refreshes at most once an hour and prints the time the AUD to ZAR rate was set, so you always know how old the figure is.
Special rates are earned
The rate shown is our special rate for a verified customer's first transfers, up to its limit. Cashback and referrals then build your rate over time. Terms and conditions apply.
Reading the rate
How to read the AUD to rand rate
"1 AUD = 11.4889 ZAR" means one Australian dollar converts to 11.4889 South African Rand before any fee. Turned around, 1 ZAR is worth about 0.087 AUD.
For a quick before-fee figure, multiply the amount you send by the rate. For what actually arrives, read the converter above: each row is the engine's own answer for that amount, with the fee already accounted for.
A higher AUD to ZAR rate means more South African Rand for each Australian dollar, but the rate alone does not tell you what your recipient gets. When you compare providers, compare the amount received after fees, for the same amount sent, at the same time of day.
