Frequently asked questions
What moves the USD/MXN exchange rate?
Banxico (Bank of Mexico) interest rate decisions, oil prices, US-Mexico trade flows, and broad risk sentiment toward emerging markets. Remittance flows from the US also provide structural MXN demand.
Is it better to use a card or withdraw cash for Mexican Peso?
For most travelers, a card with no foreign transaction fee is the simplest and cheapest option - provided you always choose to pay in Mexican Peso (the local currency) rather than US Dollar. Choosing your home currency triggers Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), which typically adds 3-5% on top. If you need cash, withdraw from ATMs in-country rather than exchanging at airports.
How much does it cost to send money between USD and MXN?
Costs vary widely. Banks typically charge a fixed fee ($15-50) plus a 2-4% markup on the exchange rate. Online services like Wise or Remitly often have lower fees and tighter spreads. The total cost includes both the fee and the exchange rate markup - always compare the final amount the recipient would get, not just the advertised fee or rate.
Is it cheaper to exchange pesos in Mexico or the US?
Generally, exchanging at ATMs in Mexico gives better rates than US airport kiosks or exchange counters. The best approach: use a debit card with no foreign transaction fees at a Mexican bank ATM, always declining the ATM's "conversion offer" (DCC). Compare what you receive against the mid-market rate on this page to see how fair the deal is.
How much is 100 dollars in pesos?
Check the conversion table above - it shows the mid-market value for common amounts including $100. The actual pesos you receive will be slightly less because your provider adds a markup. On $100, expect to lose $2-4 at a good provider, or $8-12 at an airport exchange.

How this rate is calculated
We prefer a direct rate from our primary data source when one is available. If a direct quote is unavailable, we compute a cross-rate through a major intermediary currency (usually USD or EUR). When a rate is derived rather than directly quoted, we label it on the page. Full methodology.
