Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does the rate on this converter differ from the rate at my bank?
Online converters display the global mid-market rate (intermediate exchange rate), which is the midpoint between buy and sell prices in international wholesale forex markets. Commercial banks and airport kiosks add retail markups (spreads) to cover their administrative costs, resulting in slightly less favorable cash exchange rates for end-consumers.
What is the difference between telegraphic transfer (TT) rates and cash exchange rates?
TT rates (often associated with 'foreign exchange' electronic balances) apply to digital capital transfers, such as wire transfers and offshore deposits. Cash rates apply to the physical handling of paper banknotes. Banks charge higher margins on paper banknotes to cover physical distribution, logistics, security, and storage fees.
