Understanding Exchange Rates

Exchange rates determine how much one currency is worth in terms of another:

Quote Currency: The currency you're converting to
Exchange Rate: How much quote currency equals 1 unit of base currency

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do exchange rates change?

Exchange rates fluctuate constantly during market hours (24/5 for forex). Major economic news, political events, and market sentiment can cause rapid changes.

Where do exchange rates come from?

Rates come from the foreign exchange market (forex), the world's largest financial market with over $6 trillion traded daily. Banks and financial institutions determine rates.

Why are buying and selling rates different?

Banks and exchange services add a "spread" (difference between buy/sell rates) as their profit margin. You'll get slightly less when selling and pay slightly more when buying.
