Watch how the Saudi riyal trades against the US dollar in real time. This live chart helps you monitor any slight changes and decide when to make your next transfer.
Here’s how the SAR to USD rate has tracked over the past 12 months:
The Saudi riyal is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate of 3.75, meaning the SAR to USD rate typically sits around 0.2666. While stable, the rate can still fluctuate slightly based on timing and market conditions.
Since the 1980s, the peg between SAR and USD has anchored the riyal to the dollar, providing exchange rate stability for international payments. This setup means there’s very little day-to-day volatility in the SAR to USD rate.
Despite the peg, the rate you receive can vary slightly depending on the amount you're sending and whether you’re transferring during peak trading hours. These differences are usually small but can add up, particularly on high-value transfers.
Because SAR follows the dollar, movements in the broader USD landscape can indirectly affect how far your riyals go, especially when converting to other currencies later on. A strong US dollar globally may give SAR holders more purchasing power abroad, even if the SAR to USD rate itself remains stable.
Saudi Arabia’s oil revenues impact dollar supply within the Kingdom. When oil prices are high, there's often more liquidity available, which can improve the timing and efficiency of large transfers to the US.
