How the verdict works
All-in cost vs. the reference rate: Great up to 1.0% · Typical up to 3.5% · Expensive up to 7.0% · Very expensive above 7.0%. How we set these ranges.
The reference rate is a daily mid-market reference rate from Norges Bank (around 14:15 CET; for AED, SAR, QAR, OMR, NPR, VND, NGN and EGP see the sources on our About page), not a live tradable rate. Even the cheapest providers usually come out about 0.2–0.5% below it, so a small gap is normal.
Compare two or three quotes for the same amount. The lowest all-in cost wins – not the lowest fee. For small amounts, fixed fees push the percentage up.

SAR/NPR at a glance
Over the last 90 days 1 SAR has been worth between 40.3148 NPR (Sep 4, 2026) and 41.2947 NPR (Oct 8, 2026) – a range of 2.43%. Today’s reference rate is 1.06% above the 90-day average of 40.8415 NPR.
In South Asia large amounts are usually written in lakh and crore: 1 lakh = 100,000 and 1 crore = 10,000,000 (1,00,000 and 1,00,00,000 in the Indian numbering style).
Currency codes: SAR (Saudi riyal, symbol SAR) and NPR (Nepalese rupee, symbol Rs).
The Saudi riyal has been pegged to the US dollar at 3.75 SAR per USD since 1986 (Saudi Central Bank). Kitwagon derives SAR rates from this fixed peg and Norges Bank’s US-dollar rate for Oct 9, 2026.
Nepal Rastra Bank fixes the Nepalese rupee (also called the Nepali rupee) to the Indian rupee at 160 NPR per 100 INR (its buying rate; its selling rate is 160.15). Kitwagon derives NPR rates from the 160 rate and Norges Bank’s Indian-rupee rate for Oct 9, 2026.
How banks and transfer services price a transfer
The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the prices at which banks buy and sell a currency. It is the fairest benchmark, but consumers rarely get it.
Providers usually earn money in up to two ways: an upfront fee that you can see, and an exchange-rate margin – they give you a rate below the mid-market rate and keep the difference. The margin is often not shown as a fee at all.
To compare offers, look at one number: how much arrives for the same amount sent, including all fees. Example: on 1,000 SAR, a 2.00% exchange-rate margin costs about 20 SAR – the same as a visible fee of that size.
Our rate is a daily reference rate (Norges Bank, around 14:15 CET), so a live quote can differ slightly simply because the market has moved.
