How exchange rates work

An exchange rate tells you how much of one currency you get for one unit of another. Rates move constantly in the foreign exchange market because of interest rates, inflation, economic news and trade flows. This tool shows daily reference rates, which are a good guide for planning, budgeting and comparing prices abroad.

Why your bank or exchange shop shows a different rate

Banks, card networks, money transfer services and exchange shops add a margin or fee to the reference rate, and in some countries street or open-market rates differ from official ones. Rates here are also updated about once a day, while some websites update throughout the day, so small differences are normal. Always check the final rate and any fees before you send or exchange money.

Tips for getting a better exchange rate

• Compare several providers instead of accepting the first quote.
• Avoid airport exchange counters, which usually charge more.
• Look at the total cost, including fees, not only the headline rate.
• When paying by card abroad, choose to pay in the local currency rather than your home currency, which often gives a better rate.
• For large transfers, even a small difference in rate adds up.
