Where each bank sits
Each bar runs from the bank's TT buying rate (left, what you get for USD) to its TT selling rate (right, what you pay). Further right on the left end is better for remittances; further left on the right end is better for paying abroad. The line is the CBSL rate.

About USD to LKR
The US Dollar (USD) is the currency of the United States. The rate on this page is the Central Bank of Sri Lanka's daily indicative rate: the number of Sri Lankan rupees for 1 USD, published once each business day. When the number rises, the rupee has weakened against the US Dollar; when it falls, the rupee has strengthened.

- Why is my bank's USD rate different?
