Tips for Getting the Best Exchange Rate

Exchange rates vary between providers. Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Banks vs. online services: Banks typically add a margin of 3–5% on top of the mid-market rate. Online services like Wise, Revolut and PayPal offer closer-to-market rates but still add a small fee.
  • Airport kiosks: Airport currency exchange desks usually offer the worst rates — often 6–10% worse than the mid-market rate. Avoid them unless you have no other option.
  • Credit card fees: Most Australian credit cards charge a foreign transaction fee of 2–3%. Some travel cards and digital wallets (like Up Bank, ING or Wise) offer fee-free international spending.
  • Timing the market: Exchange rates fluctuate constantly. If you're transferring a large amount, consider monitoring rates for a few days or using a limit-order service that locks in a rate you're happy with.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the exchange rates used here? ▾
The rates used in this converter are indicative mid-market rates and are updated periodically. They should be used as a guide only. Actual rates offered by banks, currency exchange providers, and payment platforms will include a margin or fee on top of the mid-market rate. Always check with your provider for the exact rate before making a transaction.
Why does the AUD to USD rate differ from what my bank offers? ▾
Banks and currency exchange providers add a spread (markup) to the mid-market rate. The mid-market rate is the wholesale rate at which banks trade with each other — you can't get this rate as a consumer. You'll typically see a rate that's 2–5% less favourable than the mid-market rate, depending on the provider and the amount you're converting.
Is this converter suitable for business accounting? ▾
This converter provides indicative rates for estimation purposes only. For business accounting, tax reporting, or invoicing, you should use the exchange rates published by the ATO (for tax purposes) or the exchange rate provided by your bank on the transaction date. The ATO publishes monthly exchange rates on their website.
What's the best way to send money overseas from Australia? ▾
For transferring money from Australia to another country, specialist services like Wise (formerly TransferWise), Revolut, and OFX typically offer better rates and lower fees than the big four banks (Commonwealth, Westpac, NAB, ANZ). Compare the total cost (exchange rate markup + transfer fee) rather than just the fee alone. For large transfers (over $10,000 AUD), negotiating a rate with a provider can save hundreds of dollars.

Disclaimer: Exchange rates shown are indicative mid-market rates for informational purposes only. They do not constitute financial advice or a firm quote for trading. Actual exchange rates vary by provider. Always confirm rates with your financial institution before completing a transaction.
