How are Calen’s exchange rates calculated?

Written by Daniel Bamidele

Calen uses live market exchange rates to price currency conversions, with the final rate shown to you before you confirm a transfer.

What rate will I get?

The rate you see can depend on:

  • The currencies you’re exchanging

  • Current market conditions

  • The amount you’re sending

  • The payment route being used

  • Any applicable FX margin

Exchange rates can move throughout the day, so the rate available when you start a transfer may be different later.

Will I see the rate before I send?

Yes. Before you confirm your transfer, we’ll show you:

  • The exchange rate being applied

  • The amount you’re sending

  • Any applicable fees

  • The amount your recipient will receive

That way, you know exactly what you’re getting before you hit Send.

Does Calen hide fees inside the rate?

Our goal is to keep pricing clear and transparent. Any applicable transfer fees and the exchange rate used for your transaction will be shown before you confirm.

The rate you see before you send is the rate we’ll use for that transaction, subject to any clearly disclosed expiry or refresh of the quote.
