How Exchange Rates Work
Exchange rates represent the value of one currency relative to another. They fluctuate constantly based on economic factors including inflation, interest rates, political stability, and market sentiment. Central banks and global currency markets determine base exchange rates, while banks and currency exchanges apply spreads (markups) on top of these rates for profit.
Tips for Currency Exchange
For the best exchange rates when traveling: use ATMs abroad instead of airport exchange kiosks, pay in local currency when given a choice (dynamic currency conversion almost always offers poor rates), and compare rates from multiple sources before making large exchanges. Online currency exchange services often offer better rates than traditional banks for international money transfers.
