KWD to JOD: Kuwaiti Dinar to Jordanian Dinar

Common amounts

About these currencies

The Kuwaiti dinar (KWD) is divided into 1,000 fils and is often cited as the highest-valued currency unit in the world. The Central Bank of Kuwait manages the dinar against a basket of currencies.

The Jordanian Dinar (JOD) is the currency of Jordan. It is officially pegged to the US dollar at 0.709 per USD, so its movement against the dinar largely follows the dinar–dollar rate.

Before you send money to Jordan

• Compare the provider’s exchange rate with the reference rate shown here.
• Add the fee to the cost. A better rate can still cost more overall.
• Use only licensed banks and exchange houses, and keep the transfer receipt.
• Check the delivery time and payout method: bank credit, cash pick-up or mobile wallet.

Jordanian Dinar and Kuwait: what to know

The Jordanian dinar is pegged to the US dollar (about 0.709 JOD per USD). Jordanian residents of Kuwait often use this pair for family transfers, and the peg keeps day-to-day movement small.

If you send money to Jordan regularly, compare the payout options actually available for the recipient's location, such as bank credit, cash collection or a mobile wallet where offered. Fees and delivery times can differ by provider, so compare the same send amount and ask the recipient to verify their account or wallet details before you pay.

For a transfer from Kuwait to Jordan, compare the final amount paid out in Jordanian dinar after the exchange margin and any transfer or collection fee. Check the expected arrival time, confirm the recipient's details with them before submitting, and keep the receipt until the payout is complete.
