Answers
1 SAR to ETB
How much is 1 SAR in ETB?
1 SAR is 45.38 ETB at Siket Bank, which is currently the best published rate of the 24 Ethiopian banks tracked here. Every bank sets its own rate, so the same 1 riyal is worth a different amount at each one - the table on this page shows what all of them would give you.
Which Ethiopian bank gives the best rate for 1 SAR?
Siket Bank, on the current published boards. The leader changes regularly because banks reprice independently and usually daily, so this page is ranked live rather than fixed - whichever bank is best this morning is the one at the top of the table.
Does it matter which bank I use for 1 SAR?
Yes, and this is what it is worth: on 1 SAR, the best current board pays 4.20 ETB more than the worst one. That gap is the same percentage at any size, so it scales - the larger the transfer, the more the choice of bank is worth in cash.
Is this the rate I will actually get at the branch?
It is the rate the bank itself published for today, which is what a branch applies - but the board is one thing and the counter is another. Cash and transactional rates differ, larger amounts may need identification and supporting documents, and a smaller branch may not hold enough physical foreign currency to fill a large cash exchange. These are official bank rates only; ET-Forex does not collect or quote parallel market rates.
