In short: Exchange rates change daily, but most converters hide the two things that matter: when their rates were updated and how much margin your bank quietly adds. This one fetches live rates when you open it, caches them locally for 12 hours, and tells you both.
Updated August 28, 2026, after a fresh review, with updated visuals and links.
Choose from over 160 currencies, with the popular ones (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, DOP, MXN and friends) pinned to the top of the list.
Live rates, and the margin nobody shows you
The converter pulls mid-market rates, the midpoint between buy and sell prices on global currency markets. 100 USD at a 59.20 DOP rate returns 5,920 pesos; the inverse rate is shown alongside so you can flip direction without retyping.
Rates are stored in your own browser for 12 hours: instant conversions after the first load, zero tracking, zero accounts. The timestamp under the result tells you exactly how fresh the number is.
Mid-market is not what you get at the window: banks and cards add 1-4%, airport kiosks much more. Knowing the real rate is precisely how you measure what a 'no-fee' exchange actually charges you.
Worth remembering
- For card purchases abroad, always pay in the local currency; the terminal's offered conversion (DCC) carries the worst margin in the chain.
- Set a rate alert in your head before a trip: knowing your round number (like 60 DOP per dollar) lets you sanity-check any counter in seconds.
Frequently asked
How fresh are these rates?
The public feed updates daily on business days; your browser cache reuses it for 12 hours. For sending money or trading, confirm the live quote with your actual provider before committing.
Why did I receive fewer pesos than this conversion?
Because providers clip the rate: a 2-4% margin, a fixed fee, or both. Compare the received amount against the mid-market result here to see exactly what the transaction cost you.
