Everything you need to know about currency exchange.
How accurate are these rates?
Our rates are sourced from ExchangeRate-API, which aggregates data from multiple commercial providers and central banks. While we update the rates every hour for accuracy, they should be used as general indicators and may differ slightly from bank-specific retail rates.
Why do exchange rates change?
Exchange rates are determined by supply and demand in the global forex market. Key factors include interest rates set by central banks (like the Central Bank of Kenya), inflation, economic growth performance, and geopolitical stability.
