Real-Time USD/NIO Exchange Rate
Haceme el Favor provides a daily updated USD to Nicaraguan Córdoba (NIO) exchange rate, sourced from the Banco Central de Nicaragua (BCN). Whether you are sending money, planning a favor, or just keeping track of the rate, this tool gives you everything you need at a glance.
Updated Daily. The exchange rate is fetched every morning at 7:00 AM Nicaragua time (CST) directly from the official BCN source. You always see the most current rate available.
Three Rates Explained
The tool shows three distinct exchange rates, each serving a different purpose:
- Buy Rate (Compra) — The rate at which banks and exchange houses will buy your US dollars. This is the rate you get when converting USD to córdobas.
- Official Rate (BCN) — The Banco Central de Nicaragua's official reference rate for the day. Used for accounting, invoicing, and legal purposes.
- Sell Rate (Venta) — The rate at which banks sell US dollars. This is what you pay if you want to buy dollars with córdobas.
Day-Over-Day Trend
The exchange rate card automatically compares today's rate with yesterday's. You will see:
- An up arrow if the córdoba weakened (more córdobas per dollar)
- A down arrow if the córdoba strengthened (fewer córdobas per dollar)
- A stable indicator if the rate did not change
Historical Chart
You can view up to 90 days of exchange rate history. This is useful for spotting trends, comparing past rates, and planning future transactions. The default view shows 30 days.
Tip: If you regularly send money to Nicaragua, check the history chart to identify patterns. The córdoba has followed a controlled crawling-peg devaluation managed by the BCN, so small daily changes are expected.
