Indicative mid-market rates from open.er-api.com, refreshed hourly · last updated Thu, 15 Oct 2026 00:02:31 +0000. Banks, bureaux de change and mobile-money services apply their own margin, so the rate you are offered will differ.
What you actually get
The rate above is a mid-market rate: the midpoint between what banks pay for a currency and what they sell it for. Nobody trades at it for long. A bank, a bureau de change or a mobile-money service quotes its own rate, and the gap between that and the mid-market rate is how it earns. The table below shows what the gap costs on 1,000 USD.
| Provider margin | You receive (TZS) | Cost of the margin |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-market (0%) | 2,632,532.08 | — |
| 1% margin | 2,606,206.76 | −26,325.32 |
| 2% margin | 2,579,881.43 | −52,650.64 |
| 4% margin | 2,527,230.79 | −105,301.28 |
The margins are illustrative, not quoted rates — they show what a given margin costs, so you can judge the rate you are offered. The Bank of Tanzania publishes the official reference rates for the shilling: Bank of Tanzania exchange rates.
About these currencies
USD — US Dollar. The US Dollar is issued by the Federal Reserve and is the world's main reserve currency. Commodities, shipping and most international trade are priced in it, which is why the dollar is the reference point for every other rate on this page. In Tanzania it is accepted at many hotels, tour operators and for some large transactions, but everyday payments are made in shillings.
TZS — Tanzanian Shilling. The Tanzanian Shilling is issued by the Bank of Tanzania and is divided into 100 cents, though cents are no longer used in practice. Banknotes run from 500 to 10,000 shillings. Prices for fuel, rent and mobile money are quoted in shillings, so a TZS rate tells you what your money is worth locally.
