Why does my bank give me a different rate?
Banks, card networks and exchange services usually add a margin to the mid-market rate, charge a fee or both, so the amount you receive is normally lower than the figure here.
How often does this rate update?

The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buying and selling prices in wholesale currency markets. It is a reference rate for information, not an offer to exchange money.
