The street rate of the Kyrgyz som for remittance and payout teams
One daily number for the som, the rate people actually pay, so your treasury can price corridors and check payouts against the real market.
The task: paying out in som at a rate that matches reality
If you pay out in som, the official window rate is often not the rate your recipients get when they convert dollars on the street. Pricing a corridor off the official rate leaves margin on the table or leads to losses, and payout reports are hard to reconcile. Treasury and operations need a single, dated street figure they can point to.

Questions from remittance and treasury teams
- What is the street rate?
- It is the rate at which people actually convert som and dollars in the market, as opposed to the official rate set by the central bank.
- How do I use it for reconciliation?
- Request the daily figure by API and compare it with the rate applied to each payout. The confidence class and source count show how firmly the figure is supported.
- Can I try it before paying?
- Yes. The free key gives access to the delayed daily figure. Starter and Pro plans add more freshness, history and limits, as shown in the plans below.
- Is this financial advice?
- No. The index is market information, not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any currency.
