The exchange rate of the US dollar to the Russian ruble in Armenia typically ranges between 83 and 85 rubles per 1 US dollar, depending on the bank. The spread between buying and selling rates can reach 1–1.5 rubles, which becomes especially noticeable when exchanging large sums.
Although the Central Bank of Armenia (CBA) publishes official exchange rates daily, banks and exchange points use their own commercial rates , which may differ from the official figures.
A commercial exchange rate is the rate set by banks, currency exchange offices, and other financial institutions for customer transactions. It differs from the official rate set by the Central Bank and includes a profit margin.
This rate reflects supply and demand. For example, if many people are selling rubles and buying Armenian drams, the ruble rate typically decreases.
In times of high volatility, the official CBA rate may also change during the day, but it's still the commercial rate that determines the actual value you'll get.

- Official websites of Armenian banks
- Currency comparison platforms
- Mobile banking apps
- Phone calls to bank branches
Tip: Some banks offer better rates through online banking, or for transactions of $1,000 or more. Always verify conditions in advance.
