How has the CRC/USD exchange rate changed over the past 5 years?

Understanding the CRC/USD exchange rate over the past five years is vital for anyone sending money from the U.S. to Costa Rica. Since 2019, the Costa Rican colón (CRC) has gradually depreciated against the U.S. dollar, moving from approximately ₡550–₡570 per USD to around ₡590–₡610 in 2024. This trend reflects broader economic factors—including inflation differentials, interest rate policies by the Central Bank of Costa Rica, and global USD strength.

For remittance senders, even small shifts matter: a 5% depreciation means recipients receive fewer colones for the same dollar amount. For example, $1,000 sent in 2019 yielded ~₡560,000; today, it yields closer to ₡600,000—a 7% increase in local currency value. That’s why locking in favorable rates through trusted remittance providers can significantly boost family support.
