Dram to Dollar Exchange Rate

The Central Bank of Armenia publishes the official AMD to USD exchange rate every day. This figure is used by government authorities, in customs settlements, accounting, and international contracts.

It’s important to understand that the Central Bank rate is a reference point – not the price you’ll get when exchanging money at a bank or exchange office. However, the dynamics of the official rate allow you to track general trends and evaluate whether the Armenian dram is strengthening or weakening against the US dollar.

In bank branches and online platforms, the exchange rate always differs from the official one. Each bank sets its own AMD/USD rate based on market demand and supply.

• The spread between buying and selling dollars usually ranges from 1–2%.
• During sharp currency fluctuations, the spread may widen.
• In Yerevan, it is often more profitable to exchange money via mobile banking apps, where rates are updated faster than at physical branches.

Therefore, if you are looking for the most accurate AMD to USD rate in Armenia today, it’s best to compare offers across several banks and online services.

The AMD to USD exchange rate today is shaped by a variety of factors:

• Armenian economy – GDP growth, inflation, and budget performance.
• External factors – global commodity prices and the US economic situation.
• Central Bank monetary policy – key interest rate decisions and currency interventions.
• Seasonal demand fluctuations – for example, during the tourist season, demand for dollars rises.
• Remittance flows – money transfers from abroad directly affect demand for foreign currency.

That’s why the Armenian dram to US dollar rate can change every single day.

To minimize costs when exchanging:

1. Compare AMD to USD rates at different banks.
2. Use online banking – often, better rates are available there.
3. In Yerevan, large exchange networks usually offer better deals than in the regions.
4. Avoid “street exchange” – it’s unsafe and illegal.

If you want to exchange AMD to USD or vice versa, you’ll need:

• Passport or ID card (mandatory for large amounts).
• Cash or a bank card.
• In some cases, a written request if the amount exceeds the bank’s set limit.

The exchange process in banks usually takes just a few minutes. For non-residents, the same rules apply, but additional documents may be required as part of currency control procedures.
