FAQ
Q: What is the source of exchange rate data?
A: This tool uses exchange rate data from the free currency API provided by fawazahmed0, which aggregates data from multiple reliable sources including central banks and financial institutions. Data is updated hourly to ensure you get near real-time exchange rate information. All exchange rates are converted based on the US Dollar (USD) as the base currency.
Q: Why is my conversion result different from bank rates?
A: This tool displays the market mid-rate (also known as the interbank rate), which is the exchange rate used for transactions between financial institutions. When actually exchanging currency, banks and currency exchange agencies will add certain fees and profits on top of this, so actual rates will differ slightly. It's recommended to use this tool's results as a reference and rely on financial institution quotes for actual transactions.

These currencies cover major global economies and trade regions.
Q: How often are exchange rates updated?
A: Exchange rate data is automatically updated every hour. When the page loads, it fetches the latest exchange rate data and caches it on the server for 1 hour. If you need more frequent updates, you can manually click the “Refresh Rates” button to get the latest data. The bottom of the page displays the last update date of the exchange rates to help you judge data timeliness.
Q: Is the calculation accurate?
A: This tool uses standard currency conversion algorithms, with all calculations based on the latest market exchange rates. The conversion process is: source currency amount ÷ source currency to USD rate × target currency to USD rate. Results are rounded to two decimal places, conforming to international currency calculation standards. However, please note that actual transactions may involve exchange rate fluctuations, fees, and other factors. It's recommended to use actual transaction institution quotes as the standard.
Q: Can it be used for commercial transactions?
A: The exchange rate data provided by this tool is for reference only and should not be the sole basis for commercial transactions. When actually exchanging currency, conducting international trade, or financial transactions, please use the real-time quotes provided by your bank, payment institution, or foreign exchange trading platform. Exchange rates are affected by market supply and demand, political and economic factors, and other aspects, with real-time fluctuations.
