How to read exchange rates
An exchange rate is the price of one currency in another. In a pair like EUR/USD 1.10, the first currency (base) is worth 1.10 of the second (quote). Rates on this converter are mid-market reference rates from the European Central Bank, published once per working day. Banks, card schemes and money-transfer services add a margin, so use this tool as the benchmark when comparing offers.
