About Exchange Rates

An exchange rate is the value of one nation's currency versus the currency of another nation. Our converter uses the mid-market rate, which is the real exchange rate you see on Google or Reuters. It's the midpoint between the buy and sell rates on the global currency markets and is considered the fairest rate.
