Frequently Asked Questions

How much EUR do I get for $1,000 USD?

At a mid-market rate of approximately 0.92, $1,000 converts to about 920 EUR before fees. After fees, you receive roughly 895 EUR via bank wire, 900-910 EUR via credit card, or 913 EUR via an online transfer service. Airport cash exchanges may return only 850-875 EUR.

Are these exchange rates live?

No. Rates shown are illustrative estimates for comparison purposes. Always verify the current rate with your bank, transfer service, or exchange provider before making a transaction. Exchange rates fluctuate throughout the day.

What is the cheapest way to convert currency?

Online transfer services (Wise, Revolut, OFX) typically offer the lowest total cost: small flat fees ($1-$5) plus exchange rates within 0.3-1% of mid-market. Banks charge $15-$45 flat plus 1-2% markup. Airport cash exchanges are the most expensive at 5-8% spread.

What is the mid-market rate?

The mid-market rate (also called the interbank rate) is the midpoint between buy and sell prices on the global currency market. It is the "real" exchange rate before any provider adds their markup. The difference between the mid-market rate and the rate you are offered is an implicit fee.

Do credit cards charge extra for foreign currency purchases?

Most credit cards charge a 1-3% foreign transaction fee on purchases made in a different currency. Some premium travel cards waive this fee entirely. When paying abroad, always choose to be charged in the local currency to avoid dynamic currency conversion, which adds another 2-3% markup.
