Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about exchange rates, currency conversion, and how we work.
Rates are updated at least every minute. When you load a page or use the converter, you see the latest data from our provider (ExchangeRate API).
We use ExchangeRate API (open.er-api.com), which aggregates rates from multiple financial data sources. For more detail, see our data sources page.
We show mid-market (interbank-style) rates. Banks and currency exchange services typically add a spread or margin, so the rate they offer may be different. Always confirm the rate with your bank or provider before transacting.
Our rates are for information only. They are not intended for trading, contracts, or formal valuations. For official or binding rates, use a licensed financial institution or data provider.
Use the converter on the homepage, or go to a pair page (e.g. USD to EUR), enter an amount, and click Convert. You can also open a direct conversion page like /convert/100-usd-to-eur for 100 USD to EUR.
We support major and many other currencies (e.g. USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CAD, AUD, CHF, MAD, INR, AED, and more). The exact list is shown on the rates table and in the converter.
The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices in the wider market. It is useful as a neutral benchmark, but banks, cards, cash desks, and transfer services may add a spread or fee.
Foreign-exchange markets are less active outside business hours. Some providers keep a wider spread or use a rate from the last active session until markets reopen, so compare the timestamp and final quote.
No. The rates are informational reference data. For a payment, invoice, tax filing, or contract, use the rate and terms supplied by your bank, payment provider, or licensed data vendor.
Yes. The public converter, rates table, pair pages, guides, and calculators are free to use. Optional accounts add tools such as watchlists, saved conversions, and alerts.
