The task: price and pay in shillings when the official rate is not the rate you pay

If you import goods, pay suppliers abroad or hold dollar-linked contracts, the official rate often differs from what you pay when you buy dollars. That gap, the premium, moves your margin and your quotes. Finance teams end up checking several sources by hand, with no clear idea of how reliable each figure is, and with no history to compare against.

How the index solves it

EMpulse publishes a street rate index for the shilling against the US dollar and USDT. Each figure carries a confidence class and the number of sources behind it, so you can see how much weight to give it. The index is built from transaction-based market data and quotes from independent public market sources. You can pull the rate and its history through the API and feed it into pricing sheets, invoicing or internal dashboards.
