Frequently Asked Questions
Exchange rates are determined by supply and demand in forex markets, influenced by interest rates, inflation, trade balances, political stability, and economic performance. Central banks may intervene to stabilize their currency.
Bid is what buyers pay (you receive when selling). Ask is what sellers want (you pay when buying). The spread (difference) is the exchange profit margin. Banks typically have 2-3% spread, while forex brokers offer 0.1-1%.
Monitor rates over weeks before a trip. Mid-week (Tuesday-Thursday) often has slightly better rates. Avoid airport exchanges (worst rates). Use credit cards abroad for near-market rates, or withdraw from local ATMs.
Exchange a small amount ($100-200) before departure for immediate needs. Use ATMs abroad for better rates on larger amounts. Notify your bank before traveling. Consider travel cards like Wise for best exchange rates.
