Cambio Uruguay

About Cambio Uruguay

Cambio Uruguay is a currency exchange comparison platform focused on the Uruguayan peso-to-dollar market. It aggregates real-time rates from more than 40 exchange houses, banks, and digital platforms (including eBROU and Prex), sourcing data from the Banco Central del Uruguay (BCU) and updating every 10 minutes. The site displays buy and sell rates side by side, ranks exchange houses by best available rate, and provides a "find near me" feature that uses distance and reviews to help users locate a physical branch.

Beyond the live rate comparison, the platform includes historical rate charts, an advanced comparator with filters, a currency converter, other financial indicators (UI, UR, BPC), and reference guides on topics such as customs allowances, loans, credit cards, and consumer protection in Uruguay. It also lists individual profiles for each exchange house showing that house's current rate, branches, and hours.

For developers, Cambio Uruguay exposes its data through a public REST API, along with an npm package and an MCP server, and its source code is available on GitHub. It is aimed at individuals in Uruguay looking to buy or sell US dollars at the best available rate, as well as developers who want to integrate Uruguayan exchange-rate data into their own tools.
