What does the dollar exchange rate mean?

The exchange rate tells you how many Peruvian soles (PEN) you need to buy one US dollar (USD). In practice you will see two separate prices:

• Buy rate (compra): how many soles you receive when selling your dollars.
• Sell rate (venta): how many soles you must pay to buy dollars.

The difference between them is the spread, which represents the provider’s embedded commission.

• The final buy and sell rates.
• How frequently prices refresh throughout the day.
• Supported payment methods and bank accounts.
