Currency converter: demand and opportunity research

AltF Signals rates "currency converter" at 72 out of 100 on AltFTool's own editorial opportunity scale, against no sourced search-volume estimate and high competition. AltFTool ships this: the Currency Converter uses reference rates from a free public exchange-rate API, with the last rates cached in your browser as a fallback, and can deduct a bank margin or fee and show recent rate history. These are reference rates, not the rate a bank, card or money-transfer service will actually give you.

Currency converter: questions and answers

Why is the rate different from my bank's?

Banks and card providers add a margin on top of the reference rate and sometimes a fixed fee. Use the margin and fee fields to estimate what you will really receive.

How up to date are the rates?

The page shows when the rates were last fetched. The source updates them periodically rather than every second, so they suit planning and checking prices, not trading.
