Frequently asked questions

Do these tools fetch live rates?

No. You enter the rate you were quoted, which is the one that will actually apply to you.

Does the calculator send my numbers anywhere?

No. The calculation runs locally in your browser.

Why does my bank's rate differ from the market rate?

The difference is the provider's margin; the exchange rate margin tool measures exactly that.
