About Exchange Rates

Rates are updated daily from the European Central Bank via the Frankfurter API. Rates reflect the previous business day close. This converter is intended for informational purposes — always check with your bank or payment provider for the exact rate applied to a transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do the exchange rates come from?

Rates are sourced daily from the European Central Bank via the Frankfurter API. They reflect the previous business day close and cover over 30 currencies.

How often are rates updated?

Rates are updated once per business day, reflecting the ECB's official reference rates. Weekend and holiday rates remain at the last available close.

Why is my bank rate different?

Banks and payment providers add a margin on top of the interbank rate shown here. This converter shows the mid-market reference rate, which is the fairest benchmark but not the rate you will get at a bank counter or ATM.
