About these rates
Where do these exchange rates come from?
They're European Central Bank reference rates, published each working day at around 4pm Central European Time. UAE dirham rates are calculated from the US dollar peg.
Is this the rate I'll get?
No. These are indicative mid-market rates, not a quote. Your specialist confirms your live rate before you commit, and it's usually far closer to these figures than a high-street bank's rate.
Can I be alerted when a rate hits my target?
Yes. Set a free rate alert and we'll tell you when the market reaches your number.
