What is the CNY/ZAR exchange rate today?

1 Chinese Yuan buys 2.39453 South African Rand, the mid-market rate from Twelve Data, as of Aug 12, 2026, 8:50 PM UTC. The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices banks trade at — the fair reference rate, not the price you’ll be charged.

How often does the CNY/ZAR rate update?

The live rate refreshes about once a minute, and every reading is stamped with its own UTC time so you always know how fresh it is. Past daily points are immutable — once a day closes, its rate never changes.

Why is this different from my bank’s rate?

The rate here is mid-market; banks and apps quote a slightly worse rate and keep the difference as their margin. For example, change CN¥1,000.00 at 2.39453 and you’d receive ZAR 2,394.53. A provider adding a 2% margin would give about ZAR 2,346.64 — roughly ZAR 47.89 less. Compare any quote against the mid-market rate to see the true cost.

How has CNY/ZAR moved recently?

Over the last 64 trading days, CNY/ZAR ranged from 2.38895 to 2.48814, averaging 2.42292. Each point is a daily close; weekends and holidays have no published fix, so the line skips them.
