USD to HTG conversion table
Common amounts at the current mid-market rate of 1 USD = 130.74 HTG.
Mid-market rate — the midpoint banks trade at, before any provider adds a margin. What you actually receive is below.
What you actually get for 1,000 USD
Nobody converts at the mid-market rate. At 1 USD = 130.74 HTG, a perfect conversion of 1,000 USD would be 130,745 HTG. Here is what 15 services would really send, fee and exchange-rate margin included.
On 1,000 USD, the gap between the best and worst option here is 2,616 HTG — the same money, converted on the same day. That difference is the fee plus the margin each service builds into its rate, and it is the only part of this page you can do anything about. How exchange-rate markups work.
Typical pricing for a bank-funded transfer, not a live quote — promotional offers and payment method can change it. Check the provider before sending. Rows marked est. use the provider's general figure, and USD est. one measured for USD sends but not for HTG specifically. Neither is ranked cheapest.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current USD to HTG exchange rate?
The converter above shows the live mid-market USD/HTG rate, refreshed every 30 minutes. The gourde floats and has been volatile, so on this route it is worth checking the rate close to when you send rather than relying on a figure from a week ago.
Are US Dollars used in Haiti?
Widely, yes. The gourde is the official currency, but US dollars circulate alongside it and many larger transactions, rents and imported goods are priced in dollars. Some transfer services let you send dollars for the recipient to collect in dollars rather than gourdes, which is worth asking about, because it removes the exchange rate from the equation entirely.
What is the cheapest way to send money to Haiti?
Fewer services reach Haiti than reach most Caribbean countries, so the shortlist is genuinely short and worth checking rather than assuming your usual app works. Compare the gourdes or dollars actually delivered, and fund from a bank account where possible, since card funding costs more.
What is a 'Haitian dollar' and why do prices confuse me?
Prices in Haiti are often quoted in an informal unit sometimes called the Haitian dollar, equal to five gourdes, a habit left over from a much older peg to the US dollar. It is not a real currency and does not appear on banknotes, but it is common in markets and shops, so confirm whether a price is in gourdes or in that unit before paying.
