About Currency Reference Converter
This converter fetches the latest published reference rate for one currency pair from Frankfurter, a free service that publishes daily rates, and multiplies your amount by it locally. The converted figure is amount x rate, shown to up to eight decimal places, and the page also states the rate itself (1 unit of the first currency in terms of the second) and the reference date returned by the provider. Thirty currencies are available, including USD, EUR, GBP, INR, JPY, AUD, CAD, CHF, CNY, SGD and ZAR. Only the two currency codes are sent to Frankfurter; the amount never leaves your browser. Rates are fetched only when you press Load data, and changing any field clears the previous result. Be clear about what these numbers are: daily reference rates, not live trading quotes. They can lag the current date, especially at weekends and holidays, and they exclude bank fees, card margins and the spread a money changer adds. Expect a real transfer to cost more. If the service is down, slow or returns something unexpected you will see an error, never a made-up rate. The amount must be non-negative, with up to eight decimal places and no more than one trillion, and the two currencies must differ. You can download the result as JSON.

These are daily reference rates, not live market prices, and they exclude fees and spreads. Banks and card networks add a margin, and market rates move during the day. Treat the figure as a guide for comparison, not a quote.
The provider publishes reference rates once per day, so the date shown may be a day or more behind, particularly over weekends and public holidays. Always check the reference date displayed next to the result.

No. Frankfurter receives the two currency codes and your normal network request details. The multiplication happens in your browser, so the amount you type stays on your device.
Use it only as an indicative reference. It is not a live quote, excludes all fees and spreads, and may be a day old. Get the actual rate from your bank, card issuer or transfer service before committing money.
