Currency Converter
Real European Central Bank rates, fetched live — not a number baked into this page.
Where do these rates actually come from?
This converter fetches live exchange rates in your browser each time you load the page, from the Frankfurter API — an open-source service built on official European Central Bank daily reference rates, covering around 30 major currencies. Nothing is hard-coded or cached into this site; the numbers you see are whatever the ECB published most recently, typically updated once a day around 16:00 CET. Banks and money transfer services will quote a different, worse rate in practice, since they add their own margin and fees on top of this underlying reference rate.
