The US Dollar and Saudi Riyal have been fixed at 1 USD = 3.75 SAR since June 1986 — one of the longest-running currency pegs in the world, maintained by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) alongside Saudi Arabia's oil-dollar-denominated economy.
Primarily relevant for travelers, remittance senders, and businesses trading with Saudi Arabia — the peg removes exchange-rate speculation from this pair entirely.
Because SAR is pegged, the 3.75 figure barely moves — a rate quoted by a bank, exchange counter, or card issuer that differs from 3.75 reflects that provider's own spread, not a genuine currency move.
Banks and exchange counters typically quote a rate one to three percent away from 3.75 to cover their costs and margin — expect a wider gap at airport or hotel kiosks than at a bank branch or licensed exchange house.
Card networks convert close to the peg rate, but your card issuer may add its own foreign transaction fee on top — commonly one to three percent — so check your card's terms rather than assuming 3.75 applies in full.
For transfers between the US and Saudi Arabia, the peg removes exchange-rate risk from the equation — the real differences between remittance providers are the transfer fee and the small spread each applies, so compare those two costs rather than 'the rate'.
The rate shown here is a continuously updated reference tracked against the official 3.75 peg — it reflects the benchmark, not the exact rate any specific bank or remittance service will apply to your transaction.
How long has the SAR been pegged to the dollar?
Since June 1986, at a fixed rate of 3.75 riyals per dollar — nearly four decades of stability.
Does the peg affect Saudi inflation?
Yes — because SAR is fixed to USD, Saudi Arabia effectively imports US monetary policy; when the Federal Reserve moves rates, SAMA typically mirrors it to defend the peg.
