Foreign Exhange Rates

[PaulDee]

For years I have been accessing up-to-the-minute foreign exchange rates offered by a dozen Thai banks using a Website called “DayToDayData” (https://daytodaydata.net/).

As of this week, however, when attempting to access that Website I get a message saying:  The page you tried to access does not exist on this server.

 

 

 

Does anyone know what became of DayToDayData? And/or can you provide an equally reliable source for bank foreign exchange rates (other than checking every bank individually)?

I only use 'Wise' as my transfer rate.

How many bank accounts do you have ?

Unfortunately it's dead since quite long (months or more than a year?).

It was neat for comparing the small but existing differences in bank note buying.

But as above I do not miss it much now.

I look at the midmarket/currency market rate at WISE or XE.

E.g. now EUR/THB = 39.2168

And from that I have a good guess about the other rates.

 

xe.com has very nice diagrams on the desktop website as well as the mobile website (from last 12h to last 10 years).

Example:

https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=EUR&to=THB&view=1M

You can slide the mouse over the diagram to see previous rates (peaks and lows etc.).

Currency rates are traded on the open markets daily.There is only one price at any given minute.Wise (Transferwise) uses the market price of the minute and charges a transfer fee. Many banks charge transfer fees as well as setting a exchange rate below the market price. Transferwise is currently the cheapest to send and convert. Google will give a fast official rate at usd to thb, or eur to thb,and gbp to thb.

A while ago I put some of the rate sites in a bookmark folder so easy be opened with a single click.

Currently I have:

 

https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Other-Services/View-Rates/Foreign-Exchange-Rates
https://kasikornbank.com/en/rate/Pages/Foreign-Exchange.aspx
https://exchangerate.krungthai.com/#/counterRate
https://www.krungsri.com/en/exchangerate/Todayrates
https://www.scb.co.th/en/personal-banking/foreign-exchange-rates.html

 

For the newly formed "ttb" (ex TMB, Thanachart) I can't find it.

I think it needs an explanation from the OP which kind of rates he is interested in.

For the private user it's normally "bank buying cash" or the TT rate for incoming transfers.

Moved to the Banking forum.

I use the XE app to check rates for many currencies, but transfer money using Wise.

Do you need cash rates or just the spot rate?

 

Spot rate you can get from Yahoo Finance.

Just change the GBP to the currency you want to convert.

I was on it late last week, but you are correct it ain't there now.
