Rates are pulled live once a day from the European Central Bank’s reference feed — the same source used by banks and comparison sites worldwide. Type any amount, pick your currencies, and the converted figure updates instantly using that day’s live rate. Nothing you enter here is sent anywhere; the conversion math runs entirely in your browser.

From the European Central Bank’s daily reference rates (via the Frankfurter exchange-rate feed), refreshed once each working day — the same underlying source most rate-comparison tools use. It's a genuine mid-market rate, not a bank or exchange-bureau's buy/sell rate.
No — this is the mid-market rate, the "real" exchange rate with no markup. Banks, forex bureaux and money-transfer services all add their own margin and fees on top, so the rate you're quoted at the till or in an app will be a bit worse than what's shown here. Use this page to judge how competitive an offer is, not as a guaranteed rate.
The live feed this page uses only covers 30 major global currencies, which doesn't extend to most African currencies beyond the Rand. If that's what you need, a bank or a dedicated forex site is the better source for now.
It updates once per day (rates typically refresh in the early evening South African time on weekdays), not tick-by-tick like a trading platform. That's plenty of precision for everyday converting, travel budgeting or checking a remittance quote.
No. The amount and currencies you pick never leave your browser — the conversion is plain arithmetic run client-side against the rates already fetched.
