Exchange rates are in constant fluctuation, based on global supply and demand. Any shift in the market rates will have a direct effect on the rates on our website. Please refer to our Terms of Use page to know about our exchange rates.

At Foreign Xchange, we use reputable online sources to provide you with the best exchange rate which is inclusive of our markup fee.
Apart from the postage fees (which covers transit and warranty), Foreign Xchange does not charge any additional fees or commissions. We believe in transparency unlike other businesses which display favorable rates to advertise, the rate which you see on our website is the rate you actually get and does not incur any additional fees. Our exchange rates are inclusive of our markup fee.
