What is the mid-market rate?
The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the price banks pay to buy a currency and the price they sell it for. It's the fairest benchmark, and it's what you see here. The rate you actually get is usually worse, because providers build a margin into it:
| Provider | Typical margin over mid-market |
|---|---|
| Specialist money transfer services | 0.3–1% |
| Credit and debit cards | 0–3% |
| High-street banks | 2–5% |
| Airport exchange counters | 5–15% |
How to spot a hidden margin
- Convert the amount here to see the mid-market value.
- Compare it with the amount the provider says the recipient will get.
- The difference, plus any fixed fee, is what the transfer really costs you.
