Are these exchange rates live?

These are reference rates based on approximate mid-market rates. They are updated periodically but should not be used for actual forex transactions. For live rates, check your bank or a forex platform.

What is the mid-market rate?

The mid-market rate (also called interbank rate) is the midpoint between the buy and sell rates banks use to trade currency with each other. It is the 'fairest' rate, but retail customers typically get rates 1–3% worse due to bank spreads and fees.

Which currencies are supported?

160+ world currencies — every currency published by the live exchange rate feed, covering North America, South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. If the live feed is unavailable, a smaller set of major currencies is used as an offline fallback.

Why is the rate I get at my bank different?

Banks and exchange services add a spread (markup) of 1–5% over the mid-market rate. This is how they make profit on currency exchange. Always compare the rate offered to the mid-market rate to calculate the real cost.

What is a pip in currency exchange?

A pip (percentage in point) is the smallest unit of price movement in a currency pair — usually 0.0001 for most pairs, or 0.01 for JPY pairs. It matters mainly for forex trading, not day-to-day conversion.

How do I get the best exchange rate?

Avoid airport kiosks and hotel desks (worst rates). Use a multi-currency card, Wise, or Revolut for near mid-market rates. If using a bank, ask them for a 'no-spread' or 'wholesale' rate for large amounts.
