Johannesburg Foreign Exchange

Your comprehensive guide to Everything Johannesburg

The currency in South Africa is called the Rand, which takes its name from the Witwatersrand (White-waters-ridge in English). This is the ridge upon which Johannesburg is built, and where most of South Africa's gold deposits were found. The rand has the symbol "R" and is subdivided into 100 cents, which is symbolised with a "c". The official code is ZAR. Despite being among the strongest currencies in Africa, the Rand still typically offers international visitors a particularly favourable exchange rate, bringing even the most luxurious holidays within reach of most tourists.

There are many places where you can exchange foreign currency in South Africa, and most banks, shopping malls and airports have foreign exchange terminals where you can purchase Rands to use while travelling. MyJohannesburgInfo has teamed up with American Express, one of the world's most recognisable foreign exchange and travel brands in order to make finding your nearest branch and the most competitive rates a hassle-free process.
