USD to MZN Converter.

Current rate

1 USD = 64 MZN as of 2026-05-17. The Mozambican metical has appreciated against USD over five years as the Bank of Mozambique tightened policy and tied stability to the IMF Extended Credit Facility. The Cabo Delgado LNG projects (Total, ExxonMobil, ENI) bring substantial USD inflows but the security situation has delayed full mega-project commissioning.

💡 About this corridor

Why people convert USD to MZN.

The USD/MZN corridor is driven mostly by global reserve currency and remittances from US-based workers. On the Mozambican Metical side, demand comes from LNG project trade, South Africa migrant remittances, and IMF-programme economy. Because both sides see steady two-way flow, USD/MZN 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 0.3% against the Mozambican Metical, and over five years it has weakened about 11.1% (from 72 to 64). If you're sending money on this corridor, that trend matters: a falling rate means timing your transfer — or locking a rate with a forward contract for large amounts — can change the Mozambican Metical you receive by a meaningful margin.

Getting the best USD → MZN 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 MZN FAQ.

Why has MZN strengthened versus most African peers?
The Bank of Mozambique has held a tight monetary stance with policy rates above 15% for much of 2023-25, attracting carry-trade interest. LNG project FDI flows and IMF programme anchoring have also reinforced stability around 64 USD.
Best way to send USD to Mozambique?
M-Pesa Mozambique (Vodacom), e-Mola, and mKesh dominate mobile money. International rails route through Banco BCI, Standard Bank Mozambique, and Millennium BIM. WorldRemit, Mukuru, and Mama Money are popular for South Africa to Mozambique flows.
Is the Cabo Delgado situation affecting transfers?
Northern Mozambique remains insurgency-affected, slowing LNG commissioning. However, Maputo, Beira, and other major economic zones operate normally. FX transfer infrastructure is unaffected; only physical commerce in the north faces friction.
