Technical Frequently Asked Questions

The mid-market rate is the "real" exchange rate used by banks to trade with each other. It doesn't include the markups or commissions typically added by retail exchange services or banks, making it the fairest baseline for conversion.
Forex markets operate 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. During weekends, the tool displays the last recorded "closing" rate from Friday. As soon as global markets open on Monday, the rates begin updating in real-time again.
Banks usually apply a spread (a percentage markup) to the mid-market rate to generate profit. They may also add transaction fees. Our tool provides the raw interbank rate, allowing you to see exactly how much your bank is charging in hidden fees.
Yes, absolutely. This tool uses client-side processing, meaning all calculations happen directly in your browser. We do not store, track, or transmit any of the amounts or currency pairs you enter to any external servers.
