Mid-market vs bank rates
The mid-market rate is the midpoint between buying and selling prices on global markets. Banks, card providers and exchange bureaus add a margin (often 1–5%) and fees, so the amount you actually receive is usually a little lower. Compare their rate with this one to see the real cost.
