About Exchange Rates

Exchange rates fluctuate 24/7 based on trade, interest rates, inflation, and market sentiment. The rates shown are mid-market rates — the midpoint between buy and sell prices. Banks and money changers typically add a 1–5% spread. For large transfers, use a specialist forex broker to get closer to mid-market rates.
