Historical USD/AUD Rates by Year
What drives the USD/AUD rate?
Whether you're heading to Australia, sending USD to an Australian recipient, or tracking the Aussie, here's what drives the US Dollar to Australian Dollar rate. The AUD/USD pair, known as the Aussie, is closely tied to commodity prices — particularly iron ore, coal, and gold — since Australia is a major exporter of all three. Chinese economic data also significantly moves AUD since China is Australia's largest trading partner. Reserve Bank of Australia rate decisions drive medium-term direction.
How to get the best USD to AUD rate
The rate shown above is the interbank mid-market rate — the real exchange rate used between financial institutions. Individual customers cannot access this rate directly. Banks typically add a 2–3% spread on top, meaning you receive significantly less than the rate shown.
Online transfer services like Wise offer rates very close to the interbank rate with a small transparent fee of 0.5–1%. On a $1,000 USD exchange this typically saves $15–25 compared to a bank. Airport exchange booths charge the highest fees — often 5–8% above the interbank rate — and should be avoided for large amounts.
