How exchange rates work
Exchange rates fluctuate constantly based on interest rates, inflation, trade balances, and market sentiment. The rates shown here are indicative mid-market rates — the actual rate you get from a bank or money transfer service will include a spread of 1–5%.
Getting the best rate
- Use a service like Wise or Revolut for near mid-market rates
- Avoid airport exchange kiosks (spreads of 8–15%)
- Check if your credit card charges foreign transaction fees (usually 1–3%)
