Why a manual rate is honest

Live rates require an exchange-rate API that costs money and goes stale within minutes. A clear manual field is more transparent and lets you match your bank or M-Pesa rate exactly.

For accounting, Kenyan businesses generally use the Central Bank of Kenya mean rate on the transaction date.

Prefer this running automatically, on every sale, with no manual entry?

Frequently asked questions

Is this live?
No. We use the rate you enter. This is the safest approach for invoicing and accounting.
Which rate should I use?
For accounting, the CBK mean rate on the date of the transaction. For settlement, your bank or M-Pesa rate.
Does Veira handle multi-currency invoices?
Yes. Veira can invoice in foreign currency and book the KES equivalent automatically.
What about VAT on foreign-currency invoices?
KRA requires VAT to be reported in KES. Veira computes both on every invoice.
Can I save a custom currency pair?
In Veira yes. This public tool is intentionally simple.

Doing this by hand every time? Veira runs the same calculation automatically on every sale, no spreadsheet required.
