FAQ
+What is today's USD to BWP rate?
The live USD to BWP rate published by the Bank of Botswana is shown above. The pula is published once per business day.
+Is the AfriRate API free for Botswana rates?
Yes. The free tier covers 10 requests per minute and 300 per day.
+Why is BoB's rate published as BWP/USD?
BoB historically publishes "1 pula = X foreign currency". We invert it for display so you see "1 USD = X BWP" alongside the other countries; the underlying data is identical.
