CBK says Financial Markets compiles them daily from major participants’ buy and sell rates at the open of trade.
What CBK publishes
CBK’s page remains the source of every rate; AfroTools does not copy its table.
The official table identifies Date, Currency, Mean, Buy and Sell.
Most rows are KES per foreign unit; regional and 100-unit rows need special attention.
Manual KES converter
Use only the rate and date you read on the official CBK page. No value is prefilled.
Use the official row safely
Confirm centralbank.go.ke
AfroTools is independent and never asks for a CBK login.
Match date, currency and unit
Do not mix a historical date with another row or assume every row is per one unit.
Use the required column
This converter is for the Mean column. A contract or authority may require a different field or date.
Keep official evidence
Use CBK’s own export or historical dataset for audit evidence. AfroTools offers no PDF or rate export.
Common questions
Does this page fetch rates?
No. It makes no FX-data request and has no bundled, cached or fallback rate.
How is the result calculated?
Foreign amount ÷ quoted units × entered CBK Mean rate = KES reference amount. The exact values appear in the result.
Is the result a final exchange quote?
No. Banks, bureaus and transfer services can apply spreads and fees.
