Why your ZAR quote may be different

This is a reference rate: USD Coin's price in US dollars across global markets, converted at the official USD/ZAR rate. A local exchange or peer-to-peer desk in South Africa quotes its own price, and it often differs because of:

  • Local demand. Where people use dollar stablecoins to save or send money abroad, they usually trade above the official dollar rate — a premium of a few per cent is common, and it widens when the local currency is under pressure.
  • Spreads and fees. The price you sell at is lower than the price you buy at, and withdrawal fees come on top.
  • Banking rails. How easily an exchange can move South African rand in and out changes what it is willing to pay.
  • Tax and reporting. Some countries withhold tax on crypto transfers or sales, which changes what you actually receive. Check the current rules where you live.

Compare the quote you are offered with the figure above: the difference is what the trade is really costing you.
