Historical Rate changes of the South African Rand against the Sri Lankan Rupee

In the last 3 months, the value of the South African Rand against the Sri Lankan Rupee has fallen by -1.63%. However, there is a break in the trend as the South African Rand has gained strength against the Sri Lankan Rupee since last week. With regard to recent valuations 3 months ago, the South African Rand equaled 16.53 Sri Lankan Rupees and is now worth 16.27 Sri Lankan Rupees. The decline in the South African Rand's value does not favor consumers or travelers visiting Sri Lanka at the moment. You will receive less Sri Lankan Rupees for each South African Rand you exchange, thereby reducing your buying power while visiting. The trend history chart illustrates these recent changes.

Travel Tip

Before vacationing, we recommended you exchange South African Rands to Sri Lankan Rupees, or other currencies, at your local bank or credit union, as you will, in general, get much better exchange rates than you would at airport kiosks, where rate hikes are common and expected. Although conveniently located at your port of entry, currency exchange kiosks will also charge convenience fees per transaction. Another option to save money while vacationing is to pay any charges you incur with a "no-foreign-transaction-fee-credit-card".
