Are exchange rates updated in real time?

Rates are refreshed on a regular schedule from public exchange-rate sources, typically several times per day. They closely track the market but should be treated as indicative rather than to-the-second live trading quotes.

Is LiveExchange free?

Yes. The converter and exchange-rate tables are free to use with no sign-up required. The site is supported by advertising, which is clearly labelled and kept separate from the tools.

What is a mid-market rate?

The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices for a currency in the global wholesale market. It contains no built-in markup, which is why it is considered the fairest reference rate.

Are conversion amounts stored?

Conversion amounts are processed locally in your browser where possible and are not intentionally stored by the converter. See our Privacy Policy for details on the limited data that third-party services such as advertising may collect.

Why can my bank's rate differ?

Banks, card networks, and money-transfer services usually apply a spread on top of the mid-market rate. That markup is how they profit on the exchange, so the rate you are offered is often slightly worse than the reference rate shown here.

How often are rates refreshed?

Cached rates are revalidated approximately every 30 minutes. You can always see the exact time the data was last updated next to the converter and on the exchange-rates page.
