About Forex Rates in Uganda
The Ugandan Shilling (UGX) is the official currency of Uganda, issued and regulated by the Bank of Uganda (BOU). The BOU publishes official indicative forex rates three times each business day — at opening, midday, and closing sessions. These rates serve as a benchmark for the market.
Forex bureaus in Uganda are licensed by the Bank of Uganda to buy and sell foreign currency. They set their own rates independently, which are often more competitive than commercial bank rates for cash transactions. The most traded currencies in Uganda are the US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), British Pound (GBP), Kenyan Shilling (KES), and Tanzanian Shilling (TZS).
When exchanging money, compare rates across multiple forex bureaus — even a small difference in rate can matter on larger amounts. Use SenteGuide's forex bureau directory to find licensed bureaus near you, or try the Uganda currency converter to calculate how much you'll receive.
