Mid-Market vs. Retail Rates
The rates shown here are typically "mid-market" rates (the midpoint between buy and sell prices). When you exchange money at a bank or airport kiosk, you will likely receive a less favorable "retail" rate, which includes their profit margin and fees.
? Frequently Asked Questions
The rates in this calculator are static approximations updated periodically. They are suitable for general estimation but not for real-time trading.
Banks and exchange services add a spread (markup) to the market rate to make money. The 'real' rate you see on Google or news sites is the interbank rate, which consumers rarely get.
Currency strength fluctuates. Historically, currencies like the Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) and British Pound (GBP) have high nominal values against the USD, but 'strength' often refers to stability and purchasing power.
