Ghana Currency Converter: What You Actually Get
Most converters show the mid-market rate, which is not the rate you get in Ghana. This one shows all three: the Bank of Ghana official rate, the forex bureau rate, and the gap between them, so you know what your money is really worth.
At the Bank of Ghana interbank rate (official). Forex bureaux will give you fewer cedis when you buy from them and charge more when you sell. Rates as of 18 September 2026 (Bank of Ghana interbank) and 11 September 2026 (forex bureau). The Canadian dollar, rand, naira and CFA franc were last refreshed in July 2026 and carry no bureau rate.
The gap between the official and bureau rate reflects demand for foreign currency. The cedi lost about 9.91% against the dollar over the year to mid-July 2026, but has been close to flat since, slipping only 0.75% between the Bank of Ghana releases of 9 July and 18 September 2026. A weaker cedi feeds straight into inflation, fuel prices and the cost of imported goods. See it all on the Ghana Data Hub.
