About these rates

Mid-market rates from Open Exchange Rates, updated daily. Each day's rate is the last one published before midnight UTC, and today's rate is yesterday's close. Period averages are the mean of the daily rates.

All rates are quoted against the US dollar; other pairs are calculated through it, so they may differ slightly from a direct quote.

These rates are indicative. Banks quote their own rates, and some filings require an official rate.
