RWF Rate as of2026-05-17 USD to RWF Converter.
1 USD = 1380 RWF as of 2026-05-17. The Rwandan franc has depreciated steadily under the National Bank of Rwanda's managed float, from ~1005 to 1380 over five years. Rwanda's strong 7-8% real GDP growth, Kigali tech-hub positioning, and large Visit Rwanda tourism push have driven both USD demand and a structural current-account deficit.

Why people convert USD to RWF.
The USD/RWF corridor is driven mostly by global reserve currency and remittances from US-based workers. On the Rwandan Franc side, demand comes from Rwanda diaspora remittances, Kigali tech hub trade, and tourism (Visit Rwanda). Because both sides see steady two-way flow, USD/RWF 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 4.5% against the Rwandan Franc, and over five years it has strengthened about 37.3% (from 1005 to 1380). 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 Rwandan Franc you receive by a meaningful margin.
Getting the best USD → RWF 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.
