Rates

Get an exchange rate

The rate your organization would get right now for converting origin into destination. It already includes your organization’s spread — this is the effective rate applied when a cross-currency payout or conversion executes, not the mid-market rate. Rates refresh every minute; for a rate held for a fixed window, create a conversion quote instead. Supported currencies: USD, NGN, GHS, UGX, RWF, ZMW, TZS, KES, ZAR, INR, USDC, USDT, PYUSD, RLUSD, UGXC, BTC, ETH, SOL, XLM.
