Why is the KES to USD rate here different from Google's?
Google quotes the mid-market rate — the midpoint of the interbank market, which is a reference number rather than a rate you can transact at. Monierate leads with the parallel market rate for KES/USD: what desks and exchanges are actually quoting, aggregated across the platforms we track. The two diverge whenever official and street pricing diverge.
How often does the KES to USD rate update?
Continuously. Parallel market rates are rebuilt from the quotes the platforms we track publish, and a quote that stops moving for a day is dropped rather than shown as current. This page was built from data stamped Nov 15, 2026, 5:50 PM UTC.
