Understand exchange rates

In Europe, the European Central Bank (ECB) publishes reference exchange rates between world currencies based on a daily average of European central banks, but individuals can't get those rates directly.

When you spend abroad, your bank will be using a card scheme (Kroo uses Visa), and that scheme can set an exchange rate which could be above the ECB rate.

Your bank can then either pass on that scheme rate directly to you, or add a mark-up or fees on top to make money. At Kroo Bank we don't add a mark-up or fees.

All banks are now required to show you the ECB rate and any fees or charges they add on top. So you can fairly compare rates between all providers, and see how good the deal you're getting is. We've provided a link to show you the Visa rate, so you can see that we're passing it on directly with nothing added.
