What is the mid-market rate?

The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buying and selling prices of two currencies on global markets. It is the fairest reference rate, and the one you see on news and finance sites.

When you exchange money, banks, card networks and exchange offices usually give you a less favorable rate and may add a fee. Compare the rate you are offered with the one shown here to see the real cost.

How to get a better exchange rate

Paying abroad by card in the local currency is usually cheaper than accepting dynamic currency conversion, where the shop or ATM converts to your home currency at its own rate. Airport exchange desks tend to have the widest margins.

For larger transfers, compare the total amount received rather than the advertised fee: a "no fee" offer can hide a poor rate.

Frequently asked questions

How often are the exchange rates updated?
Rates are refreshed once a day from a public feed of market data. They are suitable for planning and comparison, not for trading.
Why is my bank's rate different?
Banks and card providers add a margin to the mid-market rate, and sometimes a fixed fee as well. The difference between their rate and the mid-market rate is part of what you pay.
Does the converter work offline?
The rates load when you open the page. The latest rates you loaded stay saved in your browser for a few hours, so the converter keeps working if the connection drops.
