Frequently Asked Questions
How often are exchange rates updated?
Our currency converter updates exchange rates every few minutes during market hours (24/5 for major currencies). Rates are sourced from reliable financial data providers and reflect interbank market rates. For less frequently traded currencies, updates may occur less frequently, but all rates are checked and verified regularly for accuracy.
Why do I get different rates at banks or money changers?
Our converter shows mid-market rates (the midpoint between buy and sell prices in the interbank market). Banks and money changers add a markup (spread) to make a profit, so their rates are less favorable. Additionally, they may charge commissions or fees. Our rates are ideal for reference and planning, but actual transaction rates will vary by provider.
Can I convert cryptocurrency with this tool?
Currently, our converter focuses on traditional fiat currencies issued by governments. For cryptocurrency conversions, you would need a specialized crypto converter that tracks digital currency exchanges. However, you can convert between major fiat currencies to understand equivalent values for crypto transactions priced in USD, EUR, or other traditional currencies.
What's the difference between spot rate and forward rate?
Spot rate: Current exchange rate for immediate delivery (usually within 2 business days). This is what our converter shows.
Forward rate: Agreed-upon rate for future delivery (weeks or months ahead), used in hedging strategies. Forward rates consider interest rate differentials between currencies. For future planning, use current spot rates as a reference but consult financial institutions for forward contracts if needed.
How do weekends and holidays affect exchange rates?
Forex markets are closed on weekends, so rates don't change from Friday close to Sunday open. However, our converter may show the last available rate. During holidays in major financial centers (London, New York, Tokyo, Sydney), liquidity decreases and spreads may widen. Some exotic currencies may not update during their local holidays. For critical transactions, check if markets are open in the relevant countries.
