Common Questions

How accurate are the exchange rates?
Rates shown are mid-market rates — the midpoint between buy and sell prices. These are the fairest representation of a currency's real value. Banks, money changers and transfer services typically add a markup of 1–5% on top. Use this tool to check the baseline rate, then compare provider fees separately.
What is the mid-market rate?
The mid-market rate (also called the interbank rate) is the middle point between the rates at which banks buy and sell currencies. It is the rate you see on Google and financial news sites. It is the most accurate measure of a currency's value but is rarely available to individual consumers without a fee.
How often are rates updated?
Rates are fetched from the API daily and cached in your browser for 1 hour. The last update time is shown below the result. For financial decisions requiring real-time rates (forex trading, large transfers), use a dedicated financial service.
Which currencies are supported?
150+ world currencies including all G20 currencies, most emerging market currencies, and many smaller ones. All are listed in the From/To dropdown menus alphabetically by code.

Pro Tip

Before sending money abroad, check the mid-market rate here first, then calculate what your transfer service charges. Services like Wise (formerly TransferWise) typically charge 0.3–1% above mid-market, while traditional banks charge 3–5%. On a $1,000 transfer that difference is $20–$40 in fees.

Official World Currencies
The United Nations recognises 180 currencies used by 195 countries. The US Dollar is used in 11 countries, the Euro in 20. Some currencies are pegged to the USD (e.g. Saudi Riyal, UAE Dirham) meaning their exchange rate barely changes.
44%
Of All Forex Trades in USD
Since every forex trade involves two currencies, the US Dollar appears in 44% of all transactions as of 2022. The Euro is second at 16%, then the Japanese Yen at 7%. USD dominance makes it the world's primary reserve currency.

You May Also Ask

Why are airport exchange rates so bad?
Airport currency exchange bureaus know you have limited alternatives and time pressure. They typically charge 8–15% above mid-market rate — sometimes more. Always get foreign currency before you travel, or use an ATM at your destination which typically gives near mid-market rates (minus a small ATM fee).
What is a pegged currency?
A pegged currency has its exchange rate fixed against another currency (usually USD) by the country's central bank. Examples: UAE Dirham (pegged to USD at 3.67), Saudi Riyal (3.75), Hong Kong Dollar (7.75–7.85 band). Pegged currencies barely move day-to-day.
Does this tool work for historical rates?
This tool shows current rates only. For historical exchange rates (e.g. what was 1 USD worth in 2010?), use a financial data service like xe.com or the FRED database from the US Federal Reserve.

Common Mistakes

Assuming the bank rate matches mid-market
Banks advertise their own rate which includes a markup. The mid-market rate shown here is always better — it is the baseline before any fees are applied.
Compare mid-market to bank rate and calculate the fee as a percentage before transferring.
Exchanging at the airport
Airport kiosks apply 8–15% spreads, effectively charging you 8–15% of the amount just for the convenience of exchanging there.
Order currency from your bank before travel or use a local ATM at your destination.
Using credit cards without checking forex fees
Many credit cards add a 1–3% foreign transaction fee on top of the exchange rate. On a $5,000 holiday, that is up to $150 in invisible fees.
Use a travel card (Revolut, Wise, Charles Schwab) that offers mid-market rates with no foreign transaction fees.
