    How exchange rates work

    An exchange rate tells you how much of one currency you get for another. The first currency is the base (what you are converting from) and the second is the quote (what you receive).

    Most websites show a reference or mid-market style rate. Banks, card providers, and money transfer services may add a spread (margin) and fees, so the rate you actually receive can be different.

    Reference vs. bank rate

    Use reference rates to plan and compare. For transfers, always check the provider's final rate and total fees.

    Why rates differ

    Differences can come from spreads, payment method (cash vs. card), transfer speed, and local market liquidity.

    Common use cases

    Salary & budgeting

    Convert AED or SAR income into your home currency for monthly budgeting and savings targets.

    Travel planning

    Estimate spending in USD, EUR, or GBP and compare how exchange moves over the last month.

    Online shopping

    Quickly convert prices for cross-border purchases, then add card fees or FX markups if needed.

    Remittances

    Check reference rates before sending money to INR, PKR, PHP, or EGP and compare providers.

    Contract & invoice checks

    Sanity-check amounts in multi-currency quotes, invoices, and subscriptions.

    Trend awareness
