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
