Why your bank's rate is different
The rate you see in the news is the mid-market rate — the midpoint between buying and selling prices. Banks, bureaux de change and apps add a margin (the "spread") and sometimes a fixed fee, so the rate you actually receive is a little worse. For larger transfers, specialist services often quote closer to the mid-market rate than high-street banks.
Travel tip. Avoid converting cash at the airport, where margins are widest. A travel card or a specialist transfer app usually gives a noticeably better rate for spending in the eurozone.
This tool is for quick, illustrative conversions. For an exact, executable rate, check your bank, a regulated money-transfer provider, or a live market source before sending money.
