Providers quoting UGX
Rates are timestamped, append-only observations of what each named provider quotes — not interpolated mids. Every provider type is ranked only among its own kind, never across types: "Best IMTO" is the best quote among IMTOs checked in the last 24 hours (weekends not counted for banks, which publish on weekdays only), and a type with a single current quote shows it as the only quote, not the best. Where one figure stands for a corridor it is the best IMTO quote, or the best of the first provider type that quotes it, named with its type. Official and parallel reference prints, and quotes not checked in that time, are shown on the corridor pages but never ranked.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the best UGX exchange rate today?
- As of 29 Sep 2026, 16:50 UTC, Modan's rates into UGX, each the best (or only) quote of one provider type, are NGN→UGX 2.8574 (Wise, best fintech & PSP); GHS→UGX 335.64 (Wise, best fintech & PSP); KES→UGX 30.1998 (Wise, best fintech & PSP). Each figure is the best IMTO quote where an IMTO quotes the corridor, otherwise the best of the first provider type that does — fintechs & PSPs, then banks and the rest — always named with its type. Each corridor page ranks every provider type among its own kind, with spreads in basis points and the independent mid.
- Which providers quote Ugandan shilling (UGX)?
- Eversend, Wise, Afriex, Standard Bank (South Africa) quote at least one UGX corridor. Modan catalogues each by type (IMTO, fintech & PSP, bank, central bank, crypto exchange, aggregator) and by the kind of price it publishes, and ranks each type only among its own kind; official and parallel prints are shown but never ranked.
- Is the UGX rate on this page the official rate?
- No. These are the rates named providers actually quote, timestamped as observed. Where a central bank's official print is tracked it appears on the corridor page labelled "official", for comparison only, and is never ranked.
- How do I get UGX rates by API?
- Call GET https://modan.io/api/v1/rates?from=NGN&to=UGX with an X-API-Key header for one corridor (add provider_type=imto for one kind of provider), or GET https://modan.io/api/v1/corridors for every corridor at once. A free key allows 50 requests a day, and the MCP server at https://modan.io/api/mcp serves the same data to AI agents.
