How the exchange rate works
The exchange rate tells you how many units of one currency equal another. The conversion is simple:
Rates change continuously with the market. This tool uses the mid-market rate, the reference midpoint — not necessarily what an end customer pays.
Why your bank gives a different number
Banks, bureaux de change and cards add a margin over the mid-market rate and sometimes a fee. That’s why a real exchange gives you a little less than the market rate. Use this converter as a reference, not as the exact price of a transaction.
Vocabulary
- Currency — the money of a country or area (EUR, USD, GBP...).
- Mid-market rate — the midpoint between buy and sell.
- Margin — the mark-up added by whoever exchanges the money.
Frequently asked questions
Are the rates current? Yes, they come from a public exchange-rate source; they are indicative and may differ from your bank.
Will it tell me exactly how much I’ll receive? It’s an estimate; subtract your bank’s or bureau’s margin and fee.
