Frequently asked questions
How current are the exchange rates?
Rates are pulled live so they reflect current market values rather than fixed/outdated figures - keep in mind exchange rates fluctuate constantly, so the rate at the moment of an actual transaction (like a bank transfer) may differ slightly.
Will the rate shown match exactly what my bank or card charges me?
Not necessarily - banks and payment processors typically add their own margin/fee on top of the raw market exchange rate, so the rate here is a useful reference but not a guarantee of the exact rate you'll be charged.
Which currencies are supported?
Over 170 world currencies are covered, spanning major currencies (USD, EUR, GBP) as well as a wide range of regional and less commonly traded ones.
