Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions we receive from users about Fara Shib, how we operate, and how our data is sourced. If your question isn’t answered here, feel free to contact us.
Where do you get your exchange rates from?
We gather real-time exchange rates from trusted Iranian exchange offices and sources operating in Iran’s free market, primarily in Tehran. These rates reflect the actual market value used in day-to-day transactions, not the official government-set rates.
How often are the rates updated?
Exchange rates are updated multiple times per day, depending on market activity. During peak trading hours, updates may occur every 10–30 minutes to ensure accuracy.
Are the rates official or from the black market?
We do not publish official government rates. Our data reflects the open market (free market) in Iran, sometimes referred to as the informal or street market. This is the rate commonly used by the public, businesses, and import/export sectors.
Can I use your rates for business or reporting?
Yes, many businesses and media outlets use Fara Shib’s rates as a reference point for reporting and pricing. However, we recommend cross-checking with local financial advisors before making major decisions.
Is Fara Shib affiliated with any government or political entity?

Why do your rates sometimes differ from other websites?
Rates in Iran’s free market can fluctuate rapidly, and different platforms may collect data from different sources or at slightly different times. Our rates are based on a curated set of trusted exchange offices, updated regularly and filtered for anomalies.
