How exchange rates work
Understand the number before you exchange.
A currency conversion is an estimate based on the relationship between two currencies. The price you actually receive depends on when and where you exchange money.
Bank and transfer rate
Banks and payment services can apply conversion spreads, funding charges and transfer fees.
Check the rate date
Weekend and holiday observations may not refresh daily. Always check the visible rate date and source.
Source transparency
Know the source. Know the rate date.
The calculator uses published daily reference rates from Frankfurter. Daily observations are not live transaction rates. The 24-hour chart uses observed Yahoo Finance data only where available; if observations cannot be verified, we display an unavailable state rather than simulated prices.

Currency converter questions.
How does this currency converter calculate exchange rates?
Select two currencies and enter an amount. Finlazo applies the latest available published reference rate from Frankfurter to calculate an indicative converted value, before fees or spreads.
Are the displayed exchange rates live transaction prices?
No. Reference rates reflect published market observations and are not guaranteed quotes from a bank, exchange, or money transfer service. The observation date appears alongside the rate.
How often do currency exchange rates update?
The calculator checks its reference-rate source periodically. The published rate date may differ from today, especially on weekends and holidays when new observations may not be available.
Can I see historical currency exchange rates?
Yes. Select 7D, 30D, 90D, or 1Y for available daily reference observations. The 24H chart shows observed intraday data from a separate source only where available.
Why might I receive a different exchange rate when sending money?
A transfer provider may apply a spread, fees, and an execution rate different from published reference data. Confirm the final rate, total charges, and recipient amount before paying.
