Reference rates (approximate) — for live rates integrate an FX API
An exchange rate is the price of one currency expressed in terms of another. Exchange rates fluctuate constantly throughout each trading day based on global economic conditions, interest rate differentials between countries, trade balances, inflation rates, and market sentiment.
Our Currency Converter uses reference rates — approximate mid-market rates that represent the midpoint between buy and sell rates. These are useful for comparison and estimation, but the actual rate you receive from a bank, exchange service, or broker will typically include a margin or fee.
When you exchange currency in the real world, the rate you receive depends on whether you are buying or selling. Banks and exchange services offer a lower rate when buying your foreign currency and a higher rate when selling it to you. The difference is the spread — their profit.
Pro tip: For large transfers or international payments, always compare rates across multiple providers. Specialist money transfer services like Wise (formerly TransferWise), Revolut, or OFX typically offer significantly better rates than high-street banks, potentially saving you hundreds on a large transaction.
Our converter supports 50+ currencies across six global regions: major world currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF), the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. This makes it a useful reference tool for travellers, expats, importers, exporters, and anyone making international payments.
Note that some currencies in this tool (such as the Argentine Peso or Venezuelan Bolivar) may experience rapid rate changes due to inflation or economic instability. Always verify current rates through a live data source before making any real transactions involving volatile currencies.

Our converter shows mid-market reference rates. Banks and exchange services apply a margin or spread on top of this rate, which is how they make money on currency exchange. The difference between our rate and your bank's rate represents their fee.
Compare rates across multiple providers before converting. Specialist transfer services typically offer rates much closer to the mid-market rate than banks. For large amounts, even a small rate difference can save significant money.
The rates in our converter are reference rates for estimation purposes. For real-time rates for actual transactions, always check a live source such as your bank, a currency exchange platform, or a live FX API service.
