> Quick view: Here are today's Malaysian ringgit (MYR) exchange rates against major world currencies, taken from Bank Negara Malaysia's official reference rates. Figures below are as of 12 August 2026 (5:00pm session) and this page is refreshed each business day.
Today's ringgit exchange rates
The table shows how much one ringgit's worth of each foreign currency costs in RM, using Bank Negara Malaysia's published unit (for example, yen and baht are quoted per 100 units).
See the comparison table below for the full list.
What these rates mean
These are Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) reference middle rates — the benchmark interbank rates the central bank publishes each business day. They're the number the news quotes, but they are not exactly what you'll pay or receive at a bank or money changer.
- Buying vs selling: a money changer sells you foreign currency slightly higher than the middle rate and buys it back slightly lower. That gap is their margin.
- Per-unit quotes: some currencies are quoted per 100 units because a single unit is very small — for example, 100 Japanese yen or 100 Thai baht — so read the "per" column carefully.
- Rates move daily: currency markets shift constantly; BNM updates its reference rates through the day, so treat any figure as a snapshot.
How to convert quickly
- Foreign → ringgit: multiply the foreign amount by the RM rate (adjusting for the per-100 currencies). E.g. 500 THB ≈ 500 × (12.3535 ÷ 100) ≈ RM61.77.
- Ringgit → foreign: divide. E.g. RM100 ≈ 100 ÷ 3.1926 ≈ SGD 31.32.
- For the exact amount you'll get, check your bank's or money changer's live board, which includes their margin.
