About
The Currency Converter fetches live exchange rates from the European Central Bank via the Frankfurter API and converts any amount between 160+ world currencies. Rates update daily from the ECB. All conversion logic runs client-side — the API call goes directly from your browser to the public rate source, and no data ever touches our servers.

- Where do the exchange rates come from?
- Rates are sourced from the European Central Bank (ECB) daily reference rates via the Frankfurter open API. ECB rates are published each working day at approximately 16:00 CET and represent indicative mid-market rates (the midpoint between buy and sell rates). These are not the rates you would get at a bank or exchange bureau, which add a spread or commission on top.
- How often do the exchange rates update?
- ECB reference rates are published once per business day. The rates you see reflect the most recent ECB publication — typically the previous trading day's close if you are viewing before 16:00 CET, or the current day's rates after publication. For real-time tick-by-tick rates, a live trading platform or forex broker API is needed.
- What is the difference between mid-market rate and bank rate?
- The mid-market rate (also called interbank rate) is the midpoint between the buy and sell price in the wholesale forex market — it is the "true" exchange rate with no markup. Banks and exchange bureaus add a spread (typically 1–4%) on top of this rate as their profit. The rate shown here is the mid-market rate, so the actual amount you receive when converting money at a bank will be slightly less.
