Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get the best exchange rate?
Online services like Wise (TransferWise) and Revolut typically offer rates closest to the mid-market rate with fees of 0.5-1%. Banks charge 1-3%, ATMs abroad 3-5%, and airport kiosks charge 8-15%. Avoid exchanging at airports or hotels whenever possible.
What is the mid-market exchange rate?
The mid-market rate (also called interbank rate) is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices of two currencies on the global market. It's the 'real' exchange rate before any markup. You can find it on Google, XE.com, or financial news sites.
Should I exchange money before or during my trip?
For most destinations, using an ATM abroad or a no-foreign-transaction-fee credit card gives the best rates. Exchange a small amount before departure for immediate expenses. Avoid exchanging large amounts at airports, which have the worst rates.
