How to use Currency Converter
Unit converters guide for currency converter users.
This currency converter fetches daily exchange rates and lets you convert any amount between 150+ currencies. Rates are sourced from the European Central Bank (ECB) reference rates, updated every business day at approximately 16:00 CET.
For travel or reference purposes these rates are accurate enough. For financial transactions, banks and money transfer services apply their own spreads — the actual rate you get will differ.
How to use it
Type the amount. Select the 'from' currency and the 'to' currency. The result updates immediately. Swap currencies using the ⇄ button.
Rate accuracy
Rates are updated daily (business days). They are reference rates, not bank rates. Expect a 1–3% spread from what your bank or exchange offers.
Quick checklist
- Use for reference and travel planning — not for financial transactions.
- Rates update on business days; weekend rates are Friday's closing rates.
- The spread your bank charges is typically 1–4% above these reference rates.
- For large transfers, compare dedicated services (Wise, Revolut) which typically offer tighter spreads.
Answers
Currency Converter FAQs
How often do the rates update?
Once per business day — rates are pulled from the European Central Bank's daily reference rate feed, published around 16:00 CET.
Why is the rate different from what my bank charges?
These are interbank reference rates. Banks, airports, and money changers add a spread (usually 1–4%) as their margin.
