Frequently Asked Questions

An exchange rate is the relative value of one country's currency in relation to another currency. It determines how much of one currency you can buy with a unit of another currency (for example, 1 USD = 0.85 EUR).

The mid-market rate (also called the interbank rate) is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices of two currencies on the global foreign exchange market. It is the real, un-marked-up exchange rate used by major banks and financial institutions.

Floating exchange rates fluctuate constantly based on foreign exchange market supply and demand dynamics (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP). Fixed (pegged) exchange rates are artificially tied by a government or central bank to another major currency (e.g., AED pegged to USD).

Exchange rates fluctuate due to economic factors including national interest rate decisions, inflation rates, trade balances, GDP growth, political stability, and market sentiment.
