What is the ZAR/JPY exchange rate today?
1 South African Rand buys 9.87597 Japanese Yen, the mid-market rate from Twelve Data, as of Aug 13, 2026, 2:55 AM 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/JPY 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 9.87597 and you’d receive ¥9,876. A provider adding a 2% margin would give about ¥9,678 — roughly ¥198 less. Compare any quote against the mid-market rate to see the true cost.
How has ZAR/JPY moved recently?
Over the last 64 trading days, ZAR/JPY ranged from 9.51316 to 9.99957, averaging 9.79287. Each point is a daily close; weekends and holidays have no published fix, so the line skips them.
