USD to ZiG FAQ: Zimbabwe Exchange Rates Today
What is 1 USD to ZiG today in Zimbabwe?
ZimRate shows the live 1 USD to ZiG exchange rate using the current RBZ official rate, plus black market, bank, cash, and business rate comparisons. The official USD/ZiG rate is set and published by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe and is used by formal banks, licensed forex bureaus, and government transactions.
What is the black market exchange rate in Zimbabwe today?
The parallel market (commonly called the black market) rate reflects what USD actually trades for in informal transactions: cash exchanges between individuals, street dealers, and informal money changers. This rate is driven purely by supply and demand. Because official channels often have limited USD availability, the parallel rate is typically higher than the official rate. ZimRate tracks the reported high, low, and cash variants of the parallel rate.
What is the bank rate in Zimbabwe today?
The bank rate is the USD/ZiG rate published or used by commercial banks and licensed financial institutions. ZimRate separates available bank rates from the RBZ official rate and the parallel market rate so you can compare formal and informal pricing without mixing the two.
Is ZiG the same as ZWG?
Yes. ZiG is the common name for Zimbabwe Gold, while ZWG is the ISO currency code used by banks and international currency systems. Both refer to Zimbabwe's domestic currency, launched by the RBZ in April 2024 after replacing the Zimbabwe Dollar.
How do I convert USD to ZiG?
Use the ZimRate USD to ZiG converter, or multiply your USD amount by the latest exchange rate. For quick checks, start with common conversions such as 1 USD to ZiG, 10 USD to ZiG, 100 USD to ZiG, and 1500 USD to ZiG.
Regional and international rates
The currency strip above the rate tables shows how USD compares to major regional currencies: South African rand (ZAR), Botswana pula (BWP), Zambian kwacha (ZMW), Mozambican metical (MZN), Namibian dollar (NAD), plus international currencies including EUR, GBP, CNY, and AED. These help Zimbabwean businesses and travellers assess cross-border costs without switching between multiple sites.
