The amount you type stays in your browser. This page downloads a table of rates and does the arithmetic here — it never sends your figures anywhere, and the European Central Bank never sees that you visited.
What is sent
Nothing. The rate table is downloaded; your amount never leaves the browser.
How current
The European Central Bank's fixing for the working day, published around 16:00 CET.
Not a transaction rate
A reference midpoint. Your bank adds a spread, and the ECB asks these not be traded on.
Which rate this is
The European Central Bank publishes one set of reference rates each working day, agreed with the other European central banks at about 14:15 Central European Time and published shortly after. That is the rate this page uses, and the date above the converter is the day those rates belong to — not the day you are reading.
On a Saturday, a Sunday or a public holiday there is no new set, so the most recent working day’s rates stand. The page says which day rather than calling them today’s.
What this rate is not
It is not a live market rate, and it is not the rate you will be given. The ECB describes these as reference rates for information and specifically discourages using them for transactions. A bank or a card network adds a spread, and a payment made on a Sunday will settle at something else again. Treat the figure here as the honest midpoint, not as a quote.
Thirty currencies are covered, which is what the ECB publishes. A currency that is not in the list above is not one we can convert. The rates are the ECB’s exactly as published: we do not adjust them and we do not add a margin of our own.
Where these figures come from
The claims this page makes about exchange rates are checkable, and these are the documents that settle them.
