About these rates

The European Central Bank publishes reference rates for about thirty currencies against the euro on every TARGET business day, around 14:10 CET. Pairs that do not include the euro are computed here as crosses of two published rates. Reference rates are for information; banks, card networks and brokers use their own rates. For a past-date conversion use the historical converter; for how crosses work see calculating a cross rate.
