Frequently Asked Questions • නිතර අසන ප්‍රශ්න

How is the US Dollar (USD) to Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) rate determined?

The USD to LKR exchange rate is determined by foreign exchange market supply and demand, alongside the daily indicative buying and selling exchange rates published by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL). Commercial banks (BOC, Commercial Bank, Sampath, HNB) add a small spread between Telegraphic Transfer (TT) buying and selling rates.

What is the difference between Buying Rate and Selling Rate?

The Buying Rate (TT Buying) is the rate at which the bank buys foreign currency from you (e.g. freelance earnings or foreign remittances into Sri Lanka). The Selling Rate (TT Selling) is the rate at which the bank sells foreign currency to you (e.g. paying overseas university tuition or international credit card bills).

Which Middle Eastern currencies are most widely converted in Sri Lanka?

The most widely remitted Middle Eastern currencies in Sri Lanka are the UAE Dirham (AED), Saudi Riyal (SAR), Qatari Riyal (QAR), Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD), and Omani Rial (OMR). Most Middle Eastern currencies are pegged to the US Dollar, making their LKR rate move synchronously with USD/LKR.

Is there any fee or tax for converting foreign currency into LKR in Sri Lanka?

Legitimate foreign remittances sent by migrant workers and IT/export service earners via formal banking channels into Sri Lanka are exempt from Advance Personal Income Tax (APIT) and benefit from priority conversion rates under CBSL regulations.
