Why do I need to know the exchange rates?
In Europe, the European Central Bank (ECB) publishes reference exchange rates between currencies based on a daily average of european central banks, but individuals can’t get those rates directly.
When you spend abroad, your bank or credit card issuer will be using a card scheme (the two biggest are Mastercard and Visa), and that scheme can set an exchange rate which could be above the ECB rate.
Your bank or credit card issuer can then either pass on that scheme rate directly to you, or add a mark-up or fees on top to make money.
All banks are now required to show you the ECB rate and any fees or charges they add on top.
