About
Honest currency data, built for the open web
CurrencyCentral is a small, independent project for SMB international payments. We believe foreign exchange reference data should be free, fast, and free of hidden margins.
Why we built it
Most currency converters either bury rates behind aggressive ads, mark them up with hidden spreads, or stuff your inbox with newsletters you never asked for. We wanted something simpler: a clean utility that loads fast, shows the real mid-market rate, and gets out of the way.
Where our data comes from
All exchange rates are published by the European Central Bank as their daily reference rates, and we retrieve them through the open Frankfurter API. These are mid-market rates — the midpoint between buy and sell prices in the wholesale market. They are the cleanest reference number available for free.
What you get
Daily ECB reference
Daily ECB reference rates retrieved in your browser, with a one-hour client-side cache.
No registration required
No login, no email, no cookies for tracking. Open the converter and use it.
Built for SMB payments
Importers, freelancers, and marketplace sellers can check the same ECB midpoint before they send or receive international payments.
What this site is today
The public product is the daily ECB reference converter, recent-range context, and the business FX guides. A separate MCP catalog is for agents, not the human homepage.
Later operator tools — quote comparison, saved supplier currencies, margin-at-risk checks, and rate alerts — are not in the converter UI yet.
A note on accuracy
Mid-market rates are reference values. The rate you actually pay when sending or receiving money will include a spread set by your bank, broker, or payments provider. CurrencyCentral is for information only and does not constitute financial advice.
