Frequently asked questions
What are mid-market exchange rates?
Mid-market rates are the midpoint between the buy and sell prices in the global currency market. They represent the theoretical fair value of a currency pair and are used as a benchmark for pricing. Banks and financial institutions typically add a markup to these rates for customer transactions, which is why the rate you receive may differ from the mid-market rate shown here.
How often are exchange rates updated?
Our exchange rates are updated every minute through our smart caching system that pulls data from live financial feeds. This ensures you always have access to current market rates for accurate conversions. The timestamp on each conversion shows exactly when the rate was last updated.
Why do different services show different rates?
Exchange rates vary between services due to several factors: different data sources, update frequencies, business models (some add markups), and the specific rate type displayed (mid-market vs. bank rates). Our calculator shows mid-market rates as a transparent benchmark, but actual transaction rates from banks or money transfer services may include additional fees or markups.
Can I use this for international money transfers?
This calculator provides accurate exchange rate information for planning purposes, but for actual money transfers, you should use the rates provided by your bank or money transfer service. Financial institutions typically add a markup to the mid-market rate and may charge additional fees, so the actual amount received will differ from our calculation.
What currencies are supported?
We support 40+ currencies including major currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF), emerging market currencies (INR, BRL, RUB, ZAR, TRY), Asian currencies (CNY, KRW, SGD, HKD, TWD), Middle Eastern currencies (AED, SAR, QAR, KWD), and precious metals (XAU for gold, XAG for silver). This comprehensive coverage serves most international currency conversion needs.
What is the difference between buy and sell rates?
Buy rates (what you pay to acquire a currency) are typically higher than sell rates (what you receive when selling a currency). This difference, called the spread, represents the profit margin for financial institutions. Our calculator shows mid-market rates, which fall between buy and sell rates and serve as a fair benchmark.
How do currency pair notations work?
Currency pairs are shown as BASE/QUOTE (e.g., EUR/USD). The first currency (base) is always one unit, and the rate shows how much of the second currency (quote) equals one unit of the base. For EUR/USD at 0.864, €1 equals $0.864. The inverse rate would be USD/EUR at approximately 1.156, meaning $1 equals €1.156.
Why do exchange rates fluctuate?
Exchange rates fluctuate due to various factors including interest rate differences, economic performance, political stability, inflation rates, trade balances, and market sentiment. Central bank policies, geopolitical events, and natural disasters can also cause significant rate movements. Our live rates reflect these constant market changes.
Can I rely on these rates for trading decisions?
While our rates are accurate and updated frequently, they are intended for informational purposes and planning. For actual trading decisions, you should use the real-time rates provided by your trading platform, as trading rates may include spreads, liquidity considerations, and execution timing that differ from mid-market rates.
