Honest limits of this rate
For USD/ZAR, the value shown is the ECB euro reference rate, a daily snapshot of the market taken at around 16:00 CET. Like any official reference, it measures and reports the US dollar to South African rand relationship, but it is not the price a bank charges at the counter. What you actually pay in South African rand on a transfer, an international card or at a bureau carries a spread and taxes over this USD/ZAR reference; that is why it is great for tracking the trend and useless as a closing price. The ECB only publishes rates against the euro; the USD/ZAR rate on this page is derived by this site by crossing USD and ZAR through the euro (a modification stated explicitly, as the license requires). Weekends and holidays repeat the last business day rate, so the reference date can be earlier than today.
