What is the USD/BRL exchange rate today?
1 US Dollar buys 5.17596 Brazilian Real, 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 USD/BRL 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 $1,000.00 at 5.17596 and you’d receive R$5,175.96. A provider adding a 2% margin would give about R$5,072.44 — roughly R$103.52 less. Compare any quote against the mid-market rate to see the true cost.
How has USD/BRL moved recently?
Over the last 64 trading days, USD/BRL ranged from 5.00258 to 5.2019, averaging 5.1031. Each point is a daily close; weekends and holidays have no published fix, so the line skips them.
