USD to AOA Converter.

Current rate

1 USD = 920 AOA as of 2026-05-17. The Angolan kwanza has depreciated sharply over five years as the National Bank of Angola unwound a long-held overvalued peg and adopted a more market-driven regime under IMF guidance. Oil price volatility, declining production, and dollarization pressures continue to weigh on AOA.

💡 About this corridor

Why people convert USD to AOA.

The USD/AOA corridor is driven mostly by global reserve currency and remittances from US-based workers. On the Angolan Kwanza side, demand comes from oil export trade, post-IMF programme flows, and diaspora remittances from Portugal. Because both sides see steady two-way flow, USD/AOA is one of the more liquid pairs in this region — which usually means tighter spreads and smaller markups than thinly-traded exotic pairs.

Over the past 12 months the US Dollar has moved up 5.1% against the Angolan Kwanza, and over five years it has strengthened about 49.6% (from 615 to 920). If you're sending money on this corridor, that trend matters: a rising rate means timing your transfer — or locking a rate with a forward contract for large amounts — can change the Angolan Kwanza you receive by a meaningful margin.

Getting the best USD → AOA rate. The figure above is the mid-market rate — the "true" rate banks and brokers reference. Most banks add a 1–3% margin on top and may charge a flat wire fee. Specialist services (Wise, Remitly, and regional exchange houses on this corridor) typically convert closer to mid-market. Always compare the effective rate after all fees, not just the headline rate — on a large USD transfer, a 2% difference is real money.

❓ FAQ

USD to AOA FAQ.

Why did the kwanza depreciate so much?
Angola maintained an overvalued AOA peg for years, financed by oil-export dollars. As crude prices fell and production declined, FX reserves dwindled, forcing the BNA to allow a managed float starting 2018. The IMF Extended Fund Facility reinforced this regime shift.
Best way to send USD to Angola?
Wise, WorldRemit, and Remitly cover the corridor partially. Major commercial banks (BAI, BFA, BIC Angola) handle USD wires. Mobile-money penetration in Angola lags peers, so cash pickup at MoneyGram or Western Union remains popular for diaspora remittances.
Are there capital controls in Angola?
Yes — Angola maintains FX surrender requirements for exporters and prioritizes USD allocations for essential imports. Foreign companies often face delays in dividend repatriation, though the situation has improved under recent reforms.
