FAQ

How frequently are the values updated?

The table values are updated once a day GMT from central bank and financial institution sources.

Can I paste multiple converters, for different currencies?

Version 2.1 onwards allows multiple currency converters on the same sidebar.

Why are the prices always favorable?

The conversion uses a single price value, the mid-price between buy and sell side in the interbank market for the currency in question. The mid-price, by definition, is more competitive than the buy price and sell price for selling and buying respectively.

Can I paste the currency converter into a post ?

Yes, javascript code is available directly from fx-rate.net. You have to paste the javascript into the post in HTML mode.

Is there support ?

Yes, further support is available at fx-rate.net/support and fx-rate.net/conditions
