About FX-I

A transparent global FX intelligence platform helping you make better currency exchange decisions

Our Mission

To provide transparent, data-driven currency exchange intelligence that connects live rates, macroeconomic drivers, and real-world exchange decisions — helping travellers and businesses get better value when exchanging money.

How We Source Rates

Our exchange rates are sourced from institutional-grade data providers and represent mid-market rates — the true exchange rate without any markup. This is the rate you should use as a benchmark when comparing providers.

📊 Mid-Market Rates

We display the midpoint between buy and sell prices from global forex markets. This is the "true" rate before any provider markup.

⏱️ Real-Time Updates

Rates update continuously during forex trading hours (Sunday 5pm ET to Friday 5pm ET). Weekend rates reflect Friday close.

🏦 Central Bank Data

Policy rates and yield data come from official central bank publications including the Fed, ECB, and Bank of England.

📈 Yield Differentials

Bond yield data for our rate driver analysis comes from government securities markets and central bank databases.

Our Transparency Principles

  • No Hidden Markups

    We show mid-market rates, not inflated rates. Provider comparisons show the actual markup from mid-market.

  • Clear Rate Context

    Every rate display includes context: what the mid-market rate is, typical retail spreads, and what you'll likely receive.

  • Data-Driven Analysis

    Our market insights are generated from rate movements and yield data, not scraped news headlines or speculation.

  • Global Neutrality

    We serve users worldwide. Our platform is not biased toward any single currency or region.

  • Educational Focus

    We help users understand what drives rates, not just show numbers. Informed users make better decisions.

Affiliate Disclosure

FX-I.com may receive compensation when you click on links to certain providers and subsequently use their services. This does not affect our rate data, which is independently sourced. Provider rankings are based on rate competitiveness, not commission levels. For full details, see our Notice of Financial Incentive.

What We Don't Do

Understanding what we don't do is as important as what we do:

  • We don't execute trades — We help you compare, but you exchange directly with providers
  • We don't provide financial advice — Our content is educational, not advisory
  • We don't scrape news — Our insights come from rate data, not external news feeds
  • We don't inflate rates — We show true mid-market rates, not manipulated figures
  • We don't favour paying advertisers — Comparisons are ranked by rate, not by commission
