Mid-rate vs marked-up retail

We apply a percent markup to the mid rate to mimic a dealer spread. Advanced mode can add a flat fee (not yet subtracted from the headline — see metrics).

Advanced mode

Track a flat fee separately from spread markup.

Perspective

Retail FX is rarely mid-market

Banks and kiosks often embed margin in the quoted rate rather than a separate fee.

Comparing effective rates reveals the true cost.
