Answers

Awash Bank - frequently asked questions

What is the Awash Bank exchange rate today?

Awash Bank currently buys USD at 160.49 ETB and sells it at 163.70 ETB - so you receive the first figure when selling USD and pay the second when buying it. The board on this page lists all 17 currencies the bank quotes, with cash and transactional rates for each, last read 3h ago.

Does Awash Bank have the best exchange rate in Ethiopia?

Not necessarily, and rarely for every currency at once. Ethiopian banks price independently and the leader changes from day to day. Each currency row here links to a page ranking every tracked bank for that currency, so you can see exactly where Awash Bank stands before travelling to a branch.

Which currencies does Awash Bank exchange?

Awash Bank publishes rates for 17 currencies against the Ethiopian birr, listed in full on this page. A currency the bank does not quote is left out rather than shown as zero - if it is not in the table, that bank does not deal in it.

Are AWS rates the same at every branch?

The published board is set centrally and applies bank-wide, so the rate should be the same at any Awash Bank branch on a given day. Availability is not: a smaller branch may not hold enough physical foreign currency to fill a large cash exchange, and larger transactions may require identification and supporting documents.

How does ET-Forex get Awash Bank rates?

Directly from the exchange rate board Awash Bank publishes itself, re-read automatically several times a day. Nothing here is estimated and no parallel market rate is included. If the bank has not refreshed its board, this page says so and shows the trading day the figures actually belong to instead of implying they are current.
