How does the currency converter work?

The converter uses reference exchange rates to calculate the equivalence between two currencies. Enter the amount, select the source and target currencies, and you'll get the result instantly.

Are the exchange rates real-time?

The exchange rates are approximate reference values. For real transactions, check with your bank or exchange office, as rates may vary by provider and timing.

We include all Central American currencies: Guatemalan Quetzal (GTQ), Honduran Lempira (HNL), Nicaraguan Córdoba (NIO), Costa Rican Colón (CRC), Panamanian Balboa (PAB), Belize Dollar (BZD), and Salvadoran Colón (SVC).

Why does the Panamanian Balboa have the same rate as the USD?

The Panamanian Balboa has been pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed 1:1 rate since 1904. In practice, Panama uses the US Dollar as circulating currency alongside the Balboa.

What factors affect exchange rates?

Exchange rates are influenced by interest rates, inflation, political stability, international trade, public debt, and market speculation.
