Knowledge Base

Frequently Asked Questions

How often are the exchange rates updated?

Our rates are fetched from a global exchange rate API and are updated regularly to reflect mid-market trends. However, for critical financial transactions, always check with your bank.

Does this include typical bank or credit card fees?

No, this tool provides the 'mid-market' rate. Banks typically add a spread or a convenience fee of 1% to 5% when you actually exchange physical cash or use a card abroad.

What is the 'mid-market' rate?

The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the 'buy' and 'sell' prices for a currency on the global market. It is considered the fairest exchange rate and is the rate used by banks to trade with each other.

Can I use this calculator offline?

Yes, the calculator will fall back to the last successfully fetched rates if you lose internet connectivity, allowing you to perform approximate conversions while traveling.
