How to use the currency converter

Where the rates come from
The numbers on this page are the European Central Bank's daily reference rates, fetched live from the open Frankfurter API. The ECB publishes one rate per business day around 16:00 CET; weekends and ECB holidays repeat the previous day's value. Your browser caches the response for 24 hours so subsequent visits are instant.
AED (UAE dirham) is the one currency Frankfurter doesn't track because it doesn't float — the UAE central bank has pegged it to USD at 3.6725 since 1997. Any AED conversion here uses that fixed peg.
Mid-market rate vs. bank rate
The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the highest buy price and the lowest sell price in the global currency market. It's the rate Reuters and Google quote. Banks, money-transfer services, and card networks add a spread on top — usually 0.5%–3%. Card payments abroad often add a second fee. Use the mid-market rate here for budgeting; expect your bank to come in a few percent worse.
Frequently asked questions
- Are the rates real-time?
- They're the ECB's daily fix — updated each business day around 16:00 CET. Good enough for budgeting; not for active FX trading.
- Why isn't my currency listed?
- The converter focuses on 16 of the most-traded currencies. If you need a less common pair, your bank or a service like Wise will quote it.
