Frequently asked questions
How much is the dollar in Brazil today?
The USD → BRL rate above reflects the wholesale market rate of the day. In practice, the "tourist dollar" (cash or card abroad) is usually 5-8% more expensive than the wholesale "commercial dollar" because of taxes like IOF and exchange-house spreads.
Why does the real move so much against the dollar?
Brazil has a large, open FX market. The SELIC rate, Fed decisions, commodity prices (soy, iron ore), and foreign-investment flows push the real up or down. 1-2% moves in a single day are routine.
Is it worth buying dollars in Brazil with a credit card?
Buying in USD with a Brazilian card adds IOF and the bank's spread. For larger expenses, it's almost always cheaper to buy dollars at an authorized broker and pay in local currency with a debit card.
