How it works
Most businesses and private clients are overpaying on currency — and have no idea. Here's how we change that in three steps.
Pick your pair and comparison type
Choose whether you want to compare a live spot rate, a forward rate, or a historical rate. Then select your currency pair — GBP, USD, or EUR must be included. Enter the sell amount and the rate you received or are being quoted.
We pull the real market rate
We fetch the live mid-market interbank rate — the actual wholesale benchmark, with no markup baked in. For historical comparisons, we retrieve the exact rate for the date and time you specify, accurate to the minute, up to two years back.
See exactly what your provider is charging
Instantly see how far your provider's rate sits from the real market rate — expressed in actual money, not just percentages. You'll also see what the same transaction would have cost at a fair, transparent rate.
Don't just know — act.
Once you've seen the numbers, you don't have to accept them.
Done something about it yet?
Now you know the real cost, there's no reason to go back to the same provider. We connect businesses and private clients with specialists who charge a transparent, fixed fee — so the rate you see is the rate you pay.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you start.
Important information
Accuracy. Historical rates are sourced from a reliable interbank data provider. Because exchange rates fluctuate constantly, there may be a slight difference based on trading activity within the one-minute period selected.
Comparisons. We show the best available rate from our historical database. The rate you actually received may have differed — better or worse — depending on trade size, currencies involved, and market conditions at the time.
Estimations. All calculations are estimates. We aim for accuracy based on the data available and what you provide, but results should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
