What does this rate mean?
It is a daily reference value from Frankfurter, not a live buy or sell offer. For cross-rates we use observations from the same date.
Are fees included?
No. Check the final quote from your bank, card provider or transfer service.
Why is the date not always today?
Publication schedules, weekends and gaps differ by currency. A cross-rate uses the latest date shared by both currencies.
