Foreign exchange rates are not fixed and can change at any time in response to movements in international currency markets, supply and demand, economic conditions, interest-rate expectations and other financial factors. The rate available to customers may also differ from a quoted reference rate because banks and authorised money-exchange businesses apply their own buying and selling rates and charges.

For this reason, individuals sending remittances, businesses making international payments or travellers purchasing foreign currency should check the latest applicable rate with an authorised financial institution before completing a transaction.
