USD to HTG Exchange Rate Today
USD to HTG rate today — updated live
The US Dollar to Haitian Gourde (USD/HTG) corridor is one of the most critical remittance routes in the Caribbean. Haiti receives remittances equivalent to over 20% of GDP, with the United States — particularly South Florida, New York, and Massachusetts — being the dominant source. For millions of Haitian families, remittances are the primary source of income. The gourde has experienced significant depreciation in recent years, making it especially important to compare provider rates before every transfer.
You can also compare USD to JMD for Jamaica or USD to DOP for Dominican Republic.
AfriConvert tracks the live USD/HTG mid-market rate and compares available providers by actual Haitian gourdes your recipient receives after all fees.
What Drives the USD to HTG Rate?
The Haitian gourde is managed by the Banque de la République d'Haïti (BRH) and has experienced significant depreciation against the US dollar due to Haiti's economic challenges, political instability, and high inflation. USD/HTG can shift considerably over short periods. For senders making regular transfers, tracking the rate and sending when it is favourable can make a meaningful difference to how many gourdes recipients receive.
Sending Money from the US to Haiti
Wise supports transfers to Haiti. Given Haiti's complex economic environment, provider availability and delivery options may vary. Bank deposits and mobile money or cash pickup options are available through select providers. Compare actual gourde payouts on AfriConvert across all available providers before sending.
USD/HTG Rate Monitoring
The USD/HTG rate can move more than many other Caribbean corridors due to Haiti's economic conditions. AfriConvert's 30-day rate history chart gives you a clear view of recent movements, helping you assess whether the current rate is relatively favourable. Set a rate alert at your target level to be notified when the market reaches it.
Why the Best Rate Doesn't Always Give the Highest Payout
When you see an exchange rate advertised for USD to HTG, it is almost always the headline rate — not what your recipient actually receives. Every money transfer provider applies a margin on top of the mid-market rate, typically ranging from 0.3% to 3%. This spread is the provider's built-in profit on the currency conversion itself.
Many providers also charge a separate transfer fee on top of the rate margin — either a fixed amount or a percentage of the transaction. "Zero fee" transfers simply embed the cost in the exchange rate spread rather than displaying it separately. These hidden costs make it impossible to compare providers based on advertised rates alone.
The only reliable comparison is the total HTG your recipient receives after all markups, spreads, and fees are deducted. AfriConvert calculates this across every provider and ranks them by actual payout — so you can see the real difference at a glance and choose with confidence.
Compare Transfer Providers Side by Side
When converting US Dollar to Haitian Gourde, the amount that actually arrives can vary dramatically depending on which provider you choose. Each money transfer service sets its own exchange rate, applies different fee structures, and offers varying delivery speeds. Some providers advertise zero fees but compensate with a less favorable exchange rate, while others charge a transparent fee but offer rates closer to the mid-market rate. The difference between the best and worst provider on any given day can amount to thousands of HTG on a typical transaction.
AfriConvert eliminates the guesswork by comparing the net payout from multiple providers in real time. We calculate exactly how much HTG will arrive after all fees and exchange rate markups are deducted. Providers are ranked from highest to lowest payout, making it immediately clear which service delivers the most value. Comparing providers before every transaction ensures you get the best outcome. The comparison includes established services like Wise, Remitly, Western Union, WorldRemit, Sendwave, LemFi, and many more, all updated throughout the day to reflect current market conditions.

Convert Before You Send
The headline exchange rate you see on news websites or financial portals is the mid-market rate — the theoretical midpoint between buy and sell prices on global currency markets. However, this is rarely the rate you actually get when converting money. Every provider adds a markup to the exchange rate, which is their profit margin on the currency conversion. Some providers also layer on fixed fees or percentage-based charges that further reduce the amount that arrives. Understanding the gap between the headline rate and the actual payout is critical to making informed decisions about cross-border currency activity. AfriConvert's converter tool shows you the real payout outcome for any USD to HTG conversion. Enter the amount you want to convert and instantly see how much HTG each provider will deliver. This goes beyond simple rate comparison — it factors in all fees, markups, and promotional offers to show the true cost of each transaction. The converter supports bidirectional calculation, so you can also start with a target HTG amount and see how much USD is needed.

Track Exchange Rate Trends
Exchange rates fluctuate constantly based on economic indicators, central bank decisions, trade flows, and market sentiment. For the USD to HTG corridor, these movements can be significant — a shift of even one or two percent in the exchange rate can translate to a meaningful difference in the final payout. Understanding whether the current rate is historically high, low, or average gives you the context needed to decide whether to act now or wait for a more favorable rate. AfriConvert provides a 30-day historical exchange rate chart for the USD/HTG pair, allowing you to visualize rate movements over the past month. The chart displays daily rate data so you can identify trends, spot patterns, and assess whether the rate is moving in your favor. Combining the historical trend view with real-time provider comparisons gives you a comprehensive picture of the best time to transact and the best provider to use.

Set Smart Rate Alerts
Timing your transaction to coincide with a favorable exchange rate can save significant money, especially on larger amounts. However, monitoring exchange rates manually throughout the day is impractical for most people. Rate movements can happen at any time — during your workday, overnight, or on weekends — and the best rates often appear briefly before the market moves again. Missing a favorable rate by even a few hours can mean less HTG arrives than expected. AfriConvert's rate alert feature solves this problem by monitoring the exchange rate for you and sending a notification when it reaches your target level. Simply set the rate you want and you will receive an email alert as soon as that rate becomes available. This allows you to act quickly while the rate is still favorable. Rate alerts are free to set up and you can adjust or cancel them at any time.
