Frequently Asked Questions
Exchange rates are determined by the global foreign exchange market, where currencies are traded 24/7. Rates float constantly based on supply and demand, interest rates, inflation, and economic health.
Fiat currency is government-issued money that is not backed by a physical commodity like gold, but by the trust in the issuing government (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP).
Banks and exchange kiosks buy and sell currencies at slightly different rates (the spread) or charge transaction commissions to cover operational costs and turn a profit.
This tool requires an active internet connection to fetch the latest conversion rates from the API, ensuring you get accurate, up-to-date conversion values.
In exchange rate pairs (e.g. USD/EUR), the first currency (USD) is the base currency, and the second (EUR) is the quote currency. The rate tells you how much quote currency is needed to buy one unit of the base currency.
