Common mistakes to avoid
Treating reference rates as bank rates
Fix: Your bank or card adds a margin — expect a slightly worse rate in practice.
Expecting weekend updates
Fix: Reference rates publish on business days; weekend rates carry over Friday's.
Using it for exact settlement
Fix: For real transfers, get a live quote from your provider.
Assuming every currency is covered
Fix: It supports the major reference currencies; some are not included.
