Question 1

How often are exchange rates updated?

Accepted Answer

Our currency converter refreshes rates on a regular schedule from live market data sources. Exchange rates move throughout the trading day, so always convert again before large transfers. For time-sensitive business payments, check the timestamp shown in the tool and compare with your bank if amounts must match exactly.

Question 2

What is the mid-market exchange rate?

Accepted Answer

The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buy (bid) and sell (ask) prices in global currency markets — without bank markup or transfer fees. It is the fairest reference rate for comparing providers. Our converter shows mid-market style rates so you see what the market says before fees are added.

Question 3

Why is the rate different at the bank?

Accepted Answer

Banks and exchange booths add a spread (margin) on top of mid-market rates to cover costs and profit. They may also charge flat fees. Airport kiosks and hotel desks often use the widest spreads. Credit cards and specialist transfer services can be closer to mid-market but still differ by network and card type.

Question 4

What currencies are supported?

Accepted Answer

We support 150+ world currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CAD, AUD, CHF, and MAD. Select any supported “from” and “to” pair, enter an amount, and see the converted value instantly. If you need a rare currency, use the search in the currency picker to find it quickly.

Question 5

Can I use this for business invoicing?

Accepted Answer

Yes for estimates and quotes — convert amounts to show clients prices in their local currency. For legal invoices and accounting, confirm the official rate your accountant or payment provider requires on the invoice date. This tool is informational; binding contracts should reference your bank’s executed rate or a named source.
