Frequently asked questions
Are the exchange rates live?
Yes. This tool fetches live rates from exchangerate.host every time the page loads. If the live fetch fails (rare), it falls back to recent reference rates and warns you. Always confirm the exact rate with your bank or card provider before a real transaction — they add their own spread.
Why does my bank give me a different rate?
Banks and card networks add a markup (spread) on top of the mid-market rate you see here — typically 1-3%. So £100 might buy slightly fewer euros at a bank than this tool shows. This converter shows the mid-market rate as a reference, not what you'll actually pay.
Does Brexit affect GBP rates?
Yes — GBP has been more volatile since Brexit, swinging against EUR and USD based on trade and political news. Live conversion matters more now than in the pre-Brexit era, which is why this tool refreshes rates on every load.
