Exchange rate FAQs
An exchange rate shows you how much of one currency you can get for a different currency, for example how many US Dollars you can get for £1000 (GBP).
The market rate (or ‘spot rate’) is the rate at which banks exchange currencies between themselves. As a travel money provider, our exchange rates are built from the market rates.
The time it takes to get your travel money to you, as well as the overhead costs we incur, means that we apply a margin as part of how we price our exchange rates.
This margin is already included in the exchange rate we offer, so the price you see is the price you pay.
Exchange rates are always changing, driven by countless global factors like interest rates, business activity, demand, and political or economic events. These can all impact a currency’s value, which affects the exchange rate.
To make sure we’re giving you fair exchange rates, we’re constantly monitoring each currency’s market value and updating our rates.
