What This Means for Traders and Consumers
At a rate of about UGX 3,635 per USD, converting USD 100 would yield approximately UGX 363,500 (before any bank or bureau fees). The actual amount received may vary depending on whether you use a commercial bank, a licensed forex bureau, or engage in informal exchange markets.
Because rates fluctuate throughout the day, influenced by supply, demand, global currency movements, and local liquidity , the rate you get at the moment of exchange may differ from the “headline” mid-market figure.
Things to Keep in Mind
- The mid-market rate serves as a benchmark but is not always what you get in practice. Banks and forex bureaus often add margins or fees.
- Informal or “parallel-market” rates can differ significantly depending on dollar demand and availability.
- For large transfers or remittances, it’s wise to compare multiple options (banks, bureaus) and time your exchange carefully to get a better rate.
