ExchangeConvert is a free currency converter covering more than 150 world currencies. Enter an amount, choose the currencies you want to convert between, and you get an instant result at the live exchange rate — no sign-up, no fees, and no limits on how many conversions you can make. Every currency pair also has its own page with a historical chart, a conversion table for common amounts, and 30-day statistics so you can see how the rate has been moving.

The rates you see here are mid-market rates: the midpoint between the buy and sell prices that banks and brokers quote each other on the global foreign exchange market. This is the "true" exchange rate reported by financial news outlets, and it is the fairest number to measure any retail offer against. Knowing the mid-market rate puts you in control, because you can immediately see how much margin a bank, app, or exchange bureau is adding.

An exchange rate is simply the price of one currency expressed in another. If 1 US Dollar buys 0.92 Euros, the USD/EUR exchange rate is 0.92. Rates float continuously during the trading week, driven by supply and demand for each currency. The main forces behind those moves are interest rates set by central banks, inflation, economic growth, trade balances, and political stability. When a country raises interest rates or its economy strengthens, its currency tends to appreciate; uncertainty or loose monetary policy tends to weaken it.

Because two economies are involved in every pair, a rate can move because of news on either side. That is why the same currency can rise against one currency while falling against another on the same day. The per-currency profiles on each pair page explain the specific factors that drive each currency we cover.

The single most useful thing to understand about currency exchange is the gap between the mid-market rate and the rate you are offered. Almost every provider adds a margin on top of the mid-market rate — that margin is how they make money, and it is often larger than any visible "fee". Here is roughly what to expect:

On a $2,000 transfer, the difference between a 0.5% app and a 4% bank is about $70 — for exactly the same currencies on the same day. The trick is always to compare the quoted rate against the mid-market rate shown here, rather than trusting the words "0% commission", which usually just means the margin is hidden inside the rate.
