Rates between two currencies are derived from their rates against the US dollar, which is how a cross rate is calculated. These are reference rates published for information: central banks state plainly that they are not intended for transactions. The rate any provider gives you, including us, includes their fee and their margin — compare the amount that actually arrives, not the rate on its own. Corrections: [email protected].
