How Exchange Rates Work
Exchange rates represent the value of one currency relative to another. They fluctuate based on economic factors including interest rates, inflation, trade balances, and market sentiment. The rates shown here are mid-market rates — the midpoint between buy and sell prices on global currency markets.
Tips for Getting the Best Exchange Rate
- Compare services — Banks, credit cards, and money transfer services all offer different rates and fee structures
- Avoid airport exchanges — Airport currency exchange kiosks typically offer the worst rates with high fees
- Use a travel card — Many travel cards offer near mid-market rates with low or zero foreign transaction fees
- Pay in local currency — When given the choice abroad, always pay in the local currency to avoid dynamic currency conversion markups
- Monitor rates — If you have a large transfer coming up, track rates over time and convert when rates are favourable
