This site provides exchange rate (FX) information for international
ACH transactions via the suite of FedACH International Services.
Note the following points:
- The exchange rate applied to an item varies according to the
country where the transaction is originated to or received from.
- The rate column is for forward credits from the United States
on the current business day and is most likely different from
the exchange rate applied to item(s) settling on a different business
day.
- The exchange rate on returns (i.e., local sell rate) is not
reported on this site. Generally, the exchange rate on returns
is slightly less favorable to the customer because the foreign
gateway operator is now selling local currency and buying dollars.
- The calculation for determining the amount of foreign exchange
varies by country and the applicable spread. Consult About
Exchange Rates for information on calculating payments for
each country.
- The Effective FX Rate is the complete foreign exchange cost
on the Date FX Performed, including both the Base FX Rate and
the spread per $US Dollar.
The data below represent the most recent available. Exchange rates
vary according to market dynamics, although customers can get an
approximate rate below or Search Archive
of Rates (published during the previous year). The Base FX Rates
on this site are provided by the foreign gateway operators, and
FedACH International does not guarantee the accuracy of the rates.
FedACH International and the Federal Reserve Banks are not responsible
for any liability, damages or loss arising out of any inaccuracies
in the rates listed here.
It is important to note that the daily Effective FX Rates below
reflect the FX rates applied by the foreign gateway operators on
the date the rates are issued (see Date Rate Issued below). The
Effective FX Rate for an item originated today by a US ODFI will
generally be determined on the U.S. Settlement Date. For payments
that qualify for "Morning Post" in the Canada Service, the FX is
applied on Day 1 of the 2-day credit. The holiday schedule of the
applicable foreign gateway operator may delay the FX conversion
until the next business day in that country. Please refer to the
schedule below for information about the FX processing date for
each foreign gateway operator.
