Currency Converter (INR)
Where the rates come from
The main source is ExchangeRate-API's open endpoint, which updates once a day. If it is unavailable, European Central Bank (ECB) reference rates are taken via Frankfurter, and the page states clearly which source was used. If neither responds, no rate is shown.
Why it can differ from your bank's rate
These are mid-market reference rates. Banks, cards and money changers add their own margin and fees, so the rate you actually get is usually a little different.
