What is the ZAR/CAD exchange rate today?

1 South African Rand buys 0.086309 Canadian Dollar, 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 ZAR/CAD 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 ZAR 1,000.00 at 0.086309 and you’d receive CA$86.31. A provider adding a 2% margin would give about CA$84.58 — roughly CA$1.73 less. Compare any quote against the mid-market rate to see the true cost.

How has ZAR/CAD moved recently?

Over the last 64 trading days, ZAR/CAD ranged from 0.0825595 to 0.0876116, averaging 0.0853961. Each point is a daily close; weekends and holidays have no published fix, so the line skips them.
