Banrural’s dollar rate can be read in two places: on its own website, split into cash, document and app columns, and on the tipodecambio.deguate.net comparison table, which listed seven banks side by side in September 2026. This page reads both every day and puts them next to Banguat’s official reference rate, so you can see what Banrural pays for a dollar, what it charges for one, and where that sits against the other banks on the same day.

US dollarsEfectivo (cash)DocumentoBanca Virtual / app
Compra (the bank buys)Q7.42Q7.42Q7.43
Venta (the bank sells)Q7.82Q7.82Q7.79

Compra is the price at which Banrural buys dollars from you, in quetzales per dollar. Venta is the price at which it sells you a dollar. The gap between the two is what a round trip costs you: at a gap of Q0.40, buying back the US$100 you just sold costs Q40 more than the bank paid you for it.

Three columns, three prices. The Efectivo US$ column is for cash dollars. The Banca Virtual - APP column is labelled for Banrural’s online banking and app. On 24 September 2026 the app column was the better of the two on both sides (Q7.43 buying and Q7.79 selling, against Q7.42 and Q7.82 in cash). The table above shows whether that still holds.

Banrural against the other banks today

This row comes from the bank comparison table on tipodecambio.deguate.net, which our exchange-rate collector reads every day for every bank it lists. It is a second reading of Banrural’s rate, and it is what lets us rank Banrural against the others.

Banguat reference rate for Sep 24: Q7.63682 per dollar. At these rates US$100 changed at Banrural gets you Q742.00, and buying US$100 costs Q782.00. Tied banks share a rank. Banks tracked today: BAC Credomatic, Banco Agromercantil, Banco Industrial, Banco Inmobiliario, Banco Promerica, Banrural, Bantrab.

Banguat’s reference rate is the rate the central bank publishes each day, not a price any bank has to offer you. The middle column shows how far Banrural’s buying and selling prices sit from it.

Changing dollars at Banrural: what the bank lists

Banrural’s currency-services page says the operations can be done across its branch network and its electronic channels, and lists what it buys and sells:

  • It buys: documents drawn on local banks, US dollars and euros in cash, transfers between your own accounts from USD to GTQ, and incoming transfers in dollars and euros.
  • It sells: dollar drafts and cashier’s cheques, outgoing transfers in several currencies, dollars and euros in cash, and transfers between your own accounts from GTQ to USD.
  • Requirements: an active checking or savings account, a valid passport if you are a tourist, and supporting documentation for the transaction.

If you do not bank with Banrural, the account line is the one to check at the branch before you queue. For a comparison of bank counters against exchange houses, see banks vs exchange houses; to open an account, see how to open a Banrural account.

Where these numbers come from

  • Banrural’s board: the JSON file behind the widget on banrural.com.gt/site/tipo-de-cambio, read once a day by our collector. If the read fails, the table keeps the last good board with the time it was read, and the stamp turns red once that is more than 50 hours old; it never prints a blank board as if it were today’s.
  • The ranking row and the 90-reading window: Banrural’s row on tipodecambio.deguate.net, from the daily exchange-rate readings we have stored since February 2026. Banks with a missing buy or sell price on a given day are left out of that day’s ranking. If a day’s collection fails, the previous day’s rates stay in place; the stamp shows when those rates were collected and turns red once they are more than 30 hours old.
  • Reference rate: Banguat’s published daily rate.

The live comparison of every bank is on the exchange-rates page, the long-run series is in the historical exchange rate page, and the USD to GTQ calculator converts any amount.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Banrural's dollar rate today?

The first table on this page is Banrural’s own board, read from the rate widget on banrural.com.gt, with the time it was read. Banrural publishes three US-dollar columns there: Efectivo US$ (cash), Documento, and Banca Virtual - APP. The compra figure is what Banrural pays you per dollar; the venta figure is what it charges you for one.

Why does Banrural show three different dollar rates?

Its exchange-rate widget has separate columns for cash dollars, for documents, and for its Banca Virtual and app. Banrural’s currency-services page lists, among what it buys, documents drawn on local banks, US dollar and euro cash, and transfers of funds between accounts from USD to GTQ. The two Banrural pages we read on 24 September 2026 do not explain why the columns differ. We record all three every day; once more than one day is on file, a history table under the board shows the last 14 readings, so you can see when they move apart.

Can a tourist change dollars at Banrural?

Banrural’s currency-services page lists three requirements: an active checking or savings account (cuenta activa de monetarios o de ahorros), a valid passport if you are a tourist (si eres Turista presentar pasaporte vigente), and supporting documentation for the transaction. It does not say whether the account requirement is waived for tourists. Ask at the branch before you queue.

Is Banrural's rate better than other banks'?

The ranking table answers that for today, among the banks that carry a rate on the comparison source we collect from. The 90-reading table counts how many days Banrural had the highest buying rate or the lowest selling rate (alone or tied) of the banks tracked that day. For the full side-by-side of every bank, see the exchange-rates page.

How do I get dollars from the US into a Banrural account?

That is a different question from the board rate: what matters is the rate and fee of the service that sends the money. Our guide to sending money to a Banrural account from the USA covers Banrural’s own channels and the companies it pays out for.
