What is the USD/KRW exchange rate today?

1 US Dollar buys 1,418.05 South Korean Won, the mid-market rate from Twelve Data, as of Aug 12, 2026, 8:56 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/KRW 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 1,418.05 and you’d receive ₩1,418,051. A provider adding a 2% margin would give about ₩1,389,690 — roughly ₩28,361 less. Compare any quote against the mid-market rate to see the true cost.

How has USD/KRW moved recently?

Over the last 64 trading days, USD/KRW ranged from 1,412.17 to 1,558.09, averaging 1,498.15. Each point is a daily close; weekends and holidays have no published fix, so the line skips them.
