Cedi converter

How it works

The mid-market rate is the midpoint between what banks pay for a currency and what they sell it for among themselves. It is the fairest single figure, and the one most converters show.

A bank or forex bureau serving customers sells a currency above that rate and buys it below; the difference is its margin. For the dollar, pound and euro the converter also shows the typical rates Ghana's banks, bureaus and fintechs post, so you know what to expect at the counter.

Questions people ask

How many cedis is one US dollar today?

One US dollar is GH₵11.63 at the mid-market rate as of 1 Oct 2026. Banks and forex bureaus buy dollars a little below that and sell them a little above it.

Can I convert at the rate on a past date?

Yes. Pick a day under "Rate on" and the converter uses the Bank of Ghana's interbank rate for that day, back to January 1996. On a weekend or holiday, when the Bank publishes no rate, it uses the last rate before it and says which day that was. Before the redenomination of July 2007 Ghana used the old cedi; those rates are shown in today's cedis (old cedis divided by 10,000).

What is the mid-market rate?
