FAQ
+What is today's USD to NAD rate?
The live USD rate shown above is the official mid-rate published by the South African Reserve Bank. Because the Namibian dollar is pegged 1:1 to the rand, this SARB rand (ZAR) rate equals the Namibian dollar (NAD) rate at par, and it is updated each business day.
+Where do the Namibia rates come from?
Directly from the South African Reserve Bank (SARB), which publishes the daily USD/ZAR mid-rate. We mirror it exactly with no spread applied; since the NAD is pegged 1:1 to the rand, the same figure is the official Namibian dollar rate.
+Why does AfriRate show the rand rate for Namibia?
Namibia's currency, the Namibian dollar (NAD), is pegged one-to-one to the South African rand (ZAR), and the rand is also legal tender in Namibia. Because the peg holds the two at par, the official Namibian dollar rate is simply the SARB rand rate, equal to 1 NAD.
