Euro exchange rate: how currency conversion works

The euro exchange rate tells you how many units of another currency you receive for one euro. This converter uses European Central Bank (ECB) reference rates, which are published each working day and are widely used as a neutral benchmark.

Why your bank rate is different

Banks, card providers and exchange offices usually add a margin to the market rate, and some add a fee too. The difference can be several percent, so compare the final amount you receive, not only the quoted rate.

Tips for travel and payments in Europe

When paying by card abroad, choose to pay in the local currency rather than your home currency, because dynamic currency conversion often has poor rates. Several EU countries still use their own currencies, including Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Romania, Sweden and Denmark, so check rates before you travel.
