Convert over thirty world currencies instantly using the European Central Bank’s own daily reference rates, served key-free by frankfurter.dev. These are the mid-market benchmark rates banks and journalists quote — what a currency is worth between institutions, before any exchange counter adds its margin. That honesty matters: a airport kiosk will never give you exactly these numbers, and we say so instead of pretending to.

How the ECB fixing works

Every weekday the ECB surveys national central banks around 14:15 CET and publishes one fixing per currency pair. Weekends and holidays hold the last fixing — which is exactly why your Monday morning screen still shows a Saturday date. The full table of every rate is on the rates page; popular pairs have permanent pages below.

Travel and remittance tip

Compare any quote you receive against 1 ZAR = this page’s figure above: the gap is the dealer’s margin plus fees. Dynamic currency conversion (being charged in your home currency abroad) typically hides 3–7% inside the “convenience” — paying in the local currency is almost always cheaper.
