Rate API note

Live rates are loaded through the server API backed by Frankfurter. Bank board rates, card settlement rates, and remittance final rates may differ, so confirm final provider terms before paying.

What to check

  • Difference between provider rate and reference rate
  • Whether percent and fixed fees are both charged
  • Any recipient or intermediary bank deduction

How it works

The calculator applies spread to the reference rate, subtracts source and recipient fees, and shows the actual payout and cost gap.

Usage notes

  • Offered rate = reference rate x (1 - spread rate)
  • Actual payout = (exchange amount - source fees) x offered rate - recipient fee
  • Hidden cost = mid-market payout - actual payout

Frequently asked questions

Can rates refresh automatically?expand_more

Yes. The page loads rates through the server API and rechecks every hour while open. If loading fails, manual rate entry still works.

How do I enter a preferential exchange discount?expand_more

Convert it into the remaining spread. For example, a 2% base spread with 90% discount becomes about 0.2% spread.
