Frequently asked questions
Where do NowPrice FX rates come from?
Major and emerging-market spot pairs are pulled from Yahoo Finance every 5 minutes. ECB reference rates come from the European Central Bank Statistical Data Warehouse and refresh once per business day around 16:00 CET. Vietnamese bank rates and Brazilian PTAX are scraped directly from the publishing institution.
Why does the bank rate differ from the spot rate?
Spot is the inter-bank wholesale price. Retail bank rates carry a spread (typically 0.5–3 %) that covers the bank's operating cost, FX licence, and margin. The buy/sell asymmetry at a Vietnamese commercial bank reflects this — and it is normal for the spread to widen during volatile sessions.
How accurate is the USD/VND quote on this page?
The interbank USD/VND quote refreshes every 5 minutes from Yahoo. Vietcombank and BIDV rates refresh every 30 minutes from each bank's public table. For the actual rate at which a transaction will execute, always check the live counter at your bank.
What is the ECB reference rate?
The ECB publishes one daily snapshot of the euro against ~30 other currencies, sourced from a regular concertation procedure between central banks. It is widely used as a benchmark for accounting and contracts but is not a tradable rate — the actual market price drifts continuously.
Can I use these rates for tax filing or accounting?
Most tax authorities accept either the central-bank reference rate (ECB for the EU, BCV for Brazil, SBV for Vietnam) or the rate from a commercial bank you actually transacted with. NowPrice is informational; check your local rules before relying on a specific source.
