FAQ
What is the Korean won exchange rate today?
On 2026-09-17, 1 US dollar = ₩1,383 (European Central Bank reference rate), up 14.75 won from the previous day. Euro: ₩1,587 per 1 EUR; Japanese yen: ₩888 per 100 JPY; Chinese yuan: ₩206 per 1 CNY; British pound: ₩1,849 per 1 GBP.
How much is $100 in Korean won?
₩138,255 at today’s reference rate. Airport and bank counters add a spread, so you will get somewhat less when you exchange cash.
Is this the rate I get at a Korean bank or ATM?
No. This is the European Central Bank reference rate, published each business day at 16:00 CET. Korean banks quote their own mid rate (based on the Seoul FX market) and add a spread when you buy or sell cash; card networks use their own daily rate. Use this page to know the market level, then compare the counter rate against it.
Where is the best place to exchange money in Korea?
The page does not rank exchange counters. What is safe to say: airport counters usually have the widest spread, bank branches and licensed exchange shops in Myeongdong are typically closer to the mid rate, and withdrawing won from a Korean ATM with a foreign card depends on your home bank’s fees.
How often is this page updated?
Every morning (Korea time). The ECB publishes rates on European business days only, so on weekends and European holidays the previous business day’s rate is shown.
