Frequently Asked Questions

Is ForexCon a bank or money-transfer service?

No. ForexCon is an information and conversion website. It does not hold funds, send money, accept deposits, or execute currency trades.

Are the exchange rates guaranteed?

No. The displayed rates are reference estimates and can differ from the rate you receive from a bank, card provider, broker, or money-transfer service.

Where do the currency rates come from?

The converter requests current available reference rates from the Frankfurter service, which publishes exchange-rate data based on European Central Bank reference data.

Why can my bank's rate be different?

Financial providers may add a spread, service fee, card fee, or other charge. They may also use a different pricing time or rate source.

Can I convert Kenyan shillings?

Yes. KES (Kenyan Shilling) is included among the supported currencies in the converter.

Can I convert kilometers to meters?

Yes. ForexCon also provides general unit-conversion information. One kilometer equals 1,000 meters.

Do I need an account to use the converter?

No account is required to use the basic converter.

Does ForexCon store my conversion amounts?

The converter runs the calculation in your browser and requests exchange-rate data from the rate service. The site does not require you to create an account to perform a conversion.
