What Exchange Rate Will You Get?
The above rates are mid-market. Which exchange rate you get – and all of the associated fees piled on top – depends on which platform you use.
Bank of Israel Exchange Rate
The Bank of Israel exchange rate is the official benchmark used across Israel’s financial system. Updated every business day, it reflects the average rate in the interbank market – the midpoint between buying and selling prices. It’s commonly used in legal contracts, accounting, and tax filings
But here’s the key: it’s not the rate you’ll actually get when sending or receiving money.
Real-world currency exchanges – whether through banks, online platforms, or brokers – typically apply their own rates and markups.
If you’re converting money for a home purchase, paying a mortgage from abroad, or transferring business earnings or salary to Israel, you’ll want to compare live exchange rates and transfer fees, not just rely on the Bank of Israel’s published rate.
You can view the current official exchange rate – as well as the history of exchange rates by date for major currencies – directly on the Bank of Israel’s website.
Common Questions
That’s a reference rate, not what you actually get. Which platform you use to transfer will determine what rate you get and what fees you pay.
