About RiyalRate.com
Millions of people living and working in Saudi Arabia send part of their salary home every month. The rate you get when you convert riyals (SAR) into your home currency can differ from one remittance center to the next, and a small difference adds up over a year of transfers.
That's why we built RiyalRate.com. Opening a dozen apps one after another is tedious, so we put the latest reported rates from commonly used remittance centers side by side, highest first.
Who runs RiyalRate.com
RiyalRate.com is run by the RiyalRate team, based in Saudi Arabia. We started it in 2026 to give people who send money home a simple, free way to compare reported rates. You can write to us any time through the Contact page or at riyalrate.com@gmail.com.
What you can do here
Pick one of six countries (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka or the Philippines) and you'll see the latest user-reported SAR rates, with the best available rate at the top. Type in an amount, in either direction, to see what each remittance center would give the recipient, or how many riyals you'd need to send to reach a target amount. If you've just made a transfer and noticed a different rate, the "Update new rate" button lets you report it for everyone else.
Where the rates come from
Users report the rates and our team compiles them. They give you a practical picture of what other people were recently offered, but they aren't official quotes. Each row shows how recently its rate was updated so you can judge how fresh it is. A country page re-checks the data about once a minute while it's open, and the highest reported rate always comes first. There's more detail in How It Works and in our Disclaimer.
Our principles
We're independent. We aren't a bank, exchange house or money transfer service, and we never handle your money. We aren't owned by or affiliated with any of the remittance centers listed. The site is free, and you don't need to sign up to compare rates. If we ever add advertising, affiliate links or sponsored content, we'll label it clearly, and it will never change the order in which rates are shown.
Our mission and editorial approach
We want people who send money home from Saudi Arabia to keep more of what they earn, and the first step is making the differences between rates easy to see. The guides on our blog are written in plain language, based on how remittance services work and on questions visitors ask us. When something changes, we update them.
How rates are collected and checked
- Visitors and our team submit the rate a remittance center offered them, along with the date.
- Submissions go through automated spam protection and land in a shared sheet that our team maintains.
- The newest rate for each provider is shown with the time it was last updated. The "best rate" on the home page and on each country page is the highest rate among those updated in the last 10 days. Only if no provider has been updated that recently do we fall back to the highest older rate.
Corrections policy
If a rate or a statement on the site is wrong, tell us through the Contact page and choose "Report an incorrect rate". We look at reports as soon as we can, fix confirmed errors and update the page. Rates are indicative only, so please read our Disclaimer too, and confirm the final rate with your provider before you send money.
Advertising and independence
The site may show ads to cover running costs. Ads are clearly separate from the content, and they never affect which providers are listed or how they're ranked. You'll find more in our Privacy Policy.
