Rates By Exchange Rate API. These are mid-market reference rates, updated once a day; banks, cards and exchange offices add a margin or fee, so the rate you get will be lower.

Getting the best exchange rate

  • Compare with the mid-market rate: the closer an offer is to the rate shown here, the smaller the hidden margin.
  • Avoid airport and hotel exchange desks, which usually have the widest margins.
  • Pay in the local currency when a card machine abroad asks.
  • Check your card’s foreign transaction fee; some cards charge none.
  • Take out larger sums less often if your bank charges a fixed fee per cash withdrawal abroad.

Currency codes

Every currency has a three-letter ISO 4217 code: usually the two-letter country code plus the first letter of the currency’s name, as in USD (US dollar), GBP (Great Britain pound), JPY (Japanese yen) and RUB (Russian rouble). The euro, shared by 21 European Union countries, is EUR.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert currency?

Type the amount, choose the currency you have in "From" and the one you want in "To". The result updates as you type. Press ⇄ to swap the two, and use the tables below for common amounts in both directions.

How often are the rates updated?

Once a day. The time of the last update is shown under the converter. Exchange rates move all day while markets are open, so treat the figures as a daily reference rather than a live trading price.

Why does my bank give a different rate?

This converter shows the mid-market rate, halfway between the buying and selling prices. Banks, card providers and exchange offices add a margin or a fee, often 1 to 5% and more at airports, so you receive less than the mid-market amount.

Is it better to pay in the local currency abroad?

Usually yes. When a card machine or cash machine abroad offers to charge you in your home currency, the conversion rate it uses is often worse than your own card's. Choosing the local currency lets your card provider convert it instead.
