Frequently asked questions

What's the 'mid-market rate'?

The midpoint between buy and sell rates on the open currency market — the rate you'd see quoted on Google or in the news, before any bank or money changer adds their margin.

Why does the offered rate default to a bit below the mid-market rate?

It's a starting example to illustrate the tool, not a real quote — the reference mid-market rate itself updates daily from the European Central Bank's rates. Replace it with the actual rate your bank or money changer quotes you.
